eBay Product Search API

An efficient, lightweight, and reliable tool to search for products on eBay using their official Browse API. Unlike web scrapers, this Actor interacts directly with eBay's backend, ensuring data accuracy and high performance.

Features

• Official API Integration: Direct communication with eBay's Browse API for stable data retrieval.
• Affiliate Link Generation: Automatically injects your Campaign ID into product links, ready for affiliate tracking.
• Deep Link Support: Generates links that can automatically trigger the eBay app on mobile devices.
• Lightweight: No heavy browser automation (Puppeteer/Playwright) needed; extremely fast and low cost.

How it works

1. You provide a search keyword and a result limit.
2. The Actor fetches live product data (Title, Price, Condition, Seller, Images) from eBay.
3. It generates an affiliate-ready deep link for each product found.
4. Data is stored in an Apify Dataset, ready for download (JSON, CSV, Excel).
