## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### What does eBay Sellers Reviews Scraper do?

eBay Sellers Reviews Scraper collects public seller feedback from eBay store pages, feedback profile pages, and legacy feedback URLs. Provide one seller URL, choose the sort order and result limit, then receive clean structured records for seller research, reputation monitoring, customer experience analysis, and ecommerce intelligence.

### Why use eBay Sellers Reviews Scraper?

- Collect seller feedback without manual copy and paste.
- Keep positive, neutral, and negative ratings in one consistent dataset.
- Capture comments, masked buyer names, buyer feedback scores, item details, prices, item links, verified purchase signals, and image counts when eBay provides them.
- Use result limits and page caps to control run size.
- Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or connect them to downstream workflows through Apify.

    "sort": "RELEVANCEV2",
    "results_wanted": 20,
    "max_pages": 1
}
```

#### Feedback profile URL

Collect the most recent feedback from a direct profile URL:

```json
{
    "start_url": "https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/keepitkodakllc",
    "sort": "TIME",
    "results_wanted": 100,
    "max_pages": 2
}
```

### Tips for best results

- Use a public eBay seller URL that includes the seller username.
- Start with `results_wanted: 20` to validate the seller and output fields.
- Use `TIME` when monitoring the newest feedback.
- Keep `max_pages` high enough to cover the requested result count.
- Some values are unavailable when eBay does not publish them for a feedback record. Missing values are omitted from the dataset rather than saved as null or empty fields.
- Public seller pages and feedback availability can change. Check a small run before scheduling a large collection.

### Integrations

- **Apify API** - Read datasets programmatically after a run.
- **Google Sheets** - Export seller feedback for analysis and reporting.
- **Webhooks** - Trigger workflows when a run finishes.
- **Make or Zapier** - Send feedback records to CRM, dashboards, or alerts.
- **CSV and Excel** - Share feedback data with research and operations teams.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Which eBay URLs are supported?

Store URLs, including custom store slugs, direct feedback profile URLs, mobile feedback profile URLs, and legacy feedback URLs are supported. Custom store slugs are resolved to the seller username before feedback collection.

#### Can I collect only recent feedback?

Yes. Set `sort` to `TIME`, or provide an eBay feedback URL that already contains a period or rating filter.

#### Does the Actor collect buyer personal information?

The output contains the masked buyer username displayed publicly by eBay. It does not attempt to reveal private account information.

#### Can I export the dataset to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets support CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, and other export formats.

#### Can I schedule recurring seller monitoring?

Yes. Use an Apify schedule to run the Actor hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom interval.

#### What should I do if a field is missing?

Some feedback records do not include every item, buyer, purchase, or media field. The Actor omits unavailable values and keeps the fields that eBay publishes.
