## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Vinted Product Scraper

Extract product listings from [Vinted UK](https://www.vinted.co.uk) at scale. Search by keyword or browse entire categories. Each result includes the title, brand, size, condition, price in GBP, engagement metrics, seller info, and direct product URL — ready for reselling research, price monitoring, or market analysis.

---

### Features

- **Text search** — query any keyword (e.g. `"nike air max"`, `"vintage levi"`)
- **Category scraping** — pass any Vinted catalog URL directly
- **Seller profiles** — optional username, ratings, and item count per listing
- **Robust error handling** — 403 cookie refresh, 429 exponential backoff
- **Pagination** — automatically pages through results up to your `maxItems` limit
- **Pay-per-event pricing** — only pay for what you actually scrape ($0.002/item)

***

### Use Cases

#### Reselling & Arbitrage

Find underpriced items to flip on other platforms. Search for specific brands and filter the output by `price` and `favouriteCount` to find high-demand, low-price listings before they sell.

```json
{ "searchQueries": ["supreme hoodie", "bape tshirt"], "maxItems": 1000 }
```

#### Price Monitoring

Track how prices for a specific item change over time. Schedule the actor daily and compare `price` values across runs.

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["jordan 1 retro high og"],
  "maxItems": 200,
  "includeSellerInfo": false
}
```

#### Market Research

Understand the supply/demand landscape for a category. Scrape a whole category, then aggregate by `brand`, `condition`, or `size` in your spreadsheet or BI tool.

```json
{
  "categoryUrls": [
    "https://www.vinted.co.uk/catalog/1231-sneakers-trainers"
  ],
  "maxItems": 5000
}
```

#### Competitor Analysis

Monitor what a specific type of seller is listing. Cross-reference `seller.login` and `seller.itemCount` to find high-volume resellers in a niche.

***

### Pricing

This actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing.

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Item scraped | **$0.002** |

**Examples:**

- 100 items → ~$0.20
- 1,000 items → ~$2.00
- 10,000 items → ~$20.00

This is significantly cheaper than most Vinted scrapers on the marketplace.

***

### Tips for Avoiding Rate Limits

Vinted rate-limits aggressive scrapers. The actor already handles this automatically, but here are additional tips:

1. **Keep `maxItems` under 1,000 per run** for searches — larger datasets are better served via category URLs which spread load.
2. **Use multiple smaller runs** rather than one giant run (e.g. 5 × 1,000 items instead of 1 × 5,000).
3. **Schedule runs during off-peak hours** (e.g. 2–6 AM UTC) to reduce competition with real users.
4. **Don't scrape the same query back-to-back** — rotate between different queries or categories.
5. **Use Apify Proxy** if you run into persistent 403 errors on datacenter IPs — residential proxies resolve most blocks.

***

### Finding Category URLs

1. Go to [vinted.co.uk](https://www.vinted.co.uk)
2. Browse to any category (e.g. Women > Tops)
3. Copy the URL from your browser — it will look like:
   `https://www.vinted.co.uk/catalog/4-tops`
4. Paste it directly into `categoryUrls`

The numeric ID before the slug (e.g. `4` in `4-tops`) is what the actor uses internally.

***

### Technical Details

- Built on the [`vinted_scraper`](https://pypi.org/project/vinted_scraper/) library (Giglium)
- Calls Vinted's internal `/api/v2/catalog/items` endpoint
- Automatically handles `access_token_web` cookie authentication
- 403 errors trigger a full cookie refresh (up to 3 attempts)
- 429 errors trigger exponential backoff: 5s → 15s → 45s
- Python 3.12, Apify SDK 2.x

***

### Limitations

- **UK only**: This actor targets `vinted.co.uk`. For other countries, you would need separate actors with the appropriate base URL.
- **No single-item detail**: The Vinted `item()` detail endpoint returns 403 frequently from non-residential IPs, so all data comes from search/catalog results.
- **Image quality**: Images are thumbnails from search results, not full-resolution gallery images.
- **Dynamic availability**: Vinted listings sell fast. The `productUrl` may be unavailable by the time you access it.
