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 ## eBay Scraper Extract product listings, product details, and seller information from eBay.com. Supports search result pages, individual product URLs, and seller store pages — with automatic anti-bot bypass and residential proxy rotation. ### Features - Scrape **search results** — all listings across paginated results - Scrape **product pages** — full details, pricing, condition, images, and item specifics - Scrape **seller/store pages** — seller info and their active listings - Auto-detects scrape type from URL — no manual mode selection needed - Stealth headless browser with residential proxy rotation to bypass eBay's bot detection ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `urls` | `string[]` | ✅ | eBay URLs to scrape (search, product, or seller pages) | | `mode` | `string` | ❌ | Force mode: `search`, `product`, or `seller`. Auto-detected from URL if omitted | | `maxPages` | `integer` | ❌ | Max search result pages per URL (default: `3`) | | `proxyConfiguration` | `object` | ❌ | Proxy settings (default: Apify residential proxies) | #### Input Example ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mechanical+keyboard", "https://www.ebay.com/itm/123456789012", "https://www.ebay.com/str/exampleseller" ], "maxPages": 3 } ```` ### Output Fields vary by page type: #### Search Result ```json { "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/276012345678", "title": "Keychron K2 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard", "price": "$89.99", "condition": "Brand New", "shipping": "+$5.99 delivery", "buyType": "Buy It Now", "sellerFeedback": "99.8% positive (11K)", "image": "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/...", "sponsored": false } ``` #### Product Page ```json { "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/276012345678", "title": "Keychron K2 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard", "price": "$89.99", "condition": "New", "seller": "keychron_official", "sellerFeedback": "99.8% positive feedback", "images": ["https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/..."], "specifics": { "Brand": "Keychron", "Switch Type": "Gateron Red", "Connectivity": "Bluetooth, USB" }, "ldData": {} } ``` #### Seller Page ```json { "url": "https://www.ebay.com/str/exampleseller", "name": "ExampleSeller", "feedbackScore": "12,450", "positiveFeedback": "99.5% Positive feedback", "location": "United States", "listings": [ { "title": "...", "price": "$49.99", "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/..." } ] } ``` ### Use Cases - **Price monitoring** — track price changes across products or search categories - **Market research** — collect listing data at scale for competitive analysis - **Inventory tracking** — monitor availability and stock across sellers - **Seller analysis** — evaluate seller reputation and active inventory - **Product database** — build structured catalogs from eBay listings ### Notes - Mode is auto-detected from URL: `/itm/` → product, `/str/` or `/usr/` → seller, everything else → search - Search results are paginated; use `maxPages` to control depth - Uses Apify residential proxies by default — required for reliable access to eBay ### Contact Questions, issues, or custom scraping needs: **thenetaji@proton.me** *** ### More Actors | Actor | Description | |---|---| | [Walmart Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/walmart-scraper?utm_source=actor-docs\&utm_medium=readme\&utm_campaign=thenetaji) | Extract product details and search results from Walmart.com | | [TikTok Profile Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/tiktok-profile-scraper?utm_source=actor-docs\&utm_medium=readme\&utm_campaign=thenetaji) | Extract TikTok user profiles and engagement metrics | | [TikTok Video Downloader](https://apify.com/thenetaji/tiktok-video-downloader?utm_source=actor-docs\&utm_medium=readme\&utm_campaign=thenetaji) | Download TikTok videos without watermarks | | [YouTube Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/youtube-scraper?utm_source=actor-docs\&utm_medium=readme\&utm_campaign=thenetaji) | Channel and video analytics extraction | | [Website Media Link Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/website-media-link-scraper?utm_source=actor-docs\&utm_medium=readme\&utm_campaign=thenetaji) | Extract media assets from any website | # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to scrape.
