FAQ

✅ What can eBay Product Scraper extract from an eBay item page?

It extracts product and seller details including product_title, product_price, product_condition, shipping_info, delivery_info, return_policy, item_specifics, plus seller fields like seller_name, seller_items_sold, and positive_feedback. It also collects images into product_image, and provides both item_description (plain text) and item_description_html.

❌ Do I need to provide search terms or keywords?

No. This actor works from direct eBay product URLs provided in the Urls input field. If you already know the items you want, you can run it directly.

💾 Where do the results go after the run?

The actor pushes the collected results to an Apify dataset (Actor.push_data in the code). You can then export or preview the JSON records from the dataset page.

💻 Can I use this actor in a Python or API pipeline?

Yes. The actor produces structured JSON you can consume programmatically. Each dataset record includes a success boolean, a detail_url, and the extracted product/seller fields, with an error message when scraping fails.

🔁 What happens if a specific URL fails to scrape?

If fetching or parsing fails for a URL, the actor returns a result object with success: False and an error field. It still includes the related url information in the failure response so you can identify what needs rework.

🌍 Does it support scraping multiple products in one run?

Yes. Provide multiple links in the Urls array—each URL is processed and results are collected into one JSON dataset output.

⚖️ Is this tool legal and compliant to use?

The actor is intended to work with publicly accessible sources. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws (including GDPR/CCPA where relevant), privacy requirements, spam regulations, and platform terms while using the extracted data.
