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 Search Scraper Search any keyword on eBay and export every result card — price, condition, seller, shipping, and more — across as many pages as you need, on any of 8 country domains. ### Why use this actor - No eBay account or login required — works on fully public search results. - Supports 8 country domains: US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, CA, and AU. - Multi-keyword input with configurable page depth per query. - Full result card payload including title, price, condition, seller location, sold count, bid count, sponsored flag, and item ID. - Auction and Buy It Now aware — captures bid counts and price ranges for auctions. - Stable JSON output ready to load into any database, spreadsheet, or data pipeline. ### How it works 1. You provide one or more search keywords, choose an eBay domain, and set how many pages to collect per keyword. 2. The actor fetches each search results page and parses every listing card on the page. 3. All visible card fields are extracted — including condition, shipping cost, location, and buy format. 4. Results stream into your Apify dataset as they are collected, page by page. 5. When all pages are done you can download the full dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel. You don't need to manage any browsers or scrapers. ### Input ```json { "queries": ["nintendo switch oled", "sony wh-1000xm5"], "domain": "www.ebay.com", "maxPagesPerQuery": 3, "maxConcurrency": 4, "maxRequestRetries": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `queries` | array | Search keywords — one string per entry. | | `domain` | string | eBay country domain.
