from $0.60 / 1,000 listing discoveries

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

Automate your **OfferUp bargain hunting, electronics/phone flipping, price drop tracking, and batch item status verification (`LISTED` vs `SOLD`)**.

- 📉 **Automatic Price Drop Calculation** — compares `originalPrice` vs. `price` and outputs exact `priceDropAmount` (`$`) and `priceDropPercent` (`%`) alongside `isFirmPrice` (negotiable vs. firm).
- 📱 **Used Electronics & Phone Flipping Filters** — server-side `conditionFilter` lets you target `for_parts` (cracked/repair arbitrage), `like_new` (open-box flips), or `new` across Cell Phones (`1.2`), Computers (`1.6`), and Video Games (`1.5`), plus `deliveryMethod` (`local` vs `shipping`).
- ✅ **Batch Listing Status Checker (`LISTED` vs `SOLD`)** — pass a list of existing `https://offerup.com/item/detail/<id>` URLs in `startUrls` to verify in seconds whether items are still `LISTED`, marked `SOLD`, or removed (`NOT_FOUND`).
