Etsy Listings Scraper

Scrape Etsy listings by keyword and get the data the official seller dashboard quietly hides — live in-cart counts, "20+ bought in the last 24h" purchase signals, paid-ad slot positions, discount depth, made-to-order & scarcity flags, bestseller and star-seller badges, and true seller velocity.

Other Etsy scrapers force you into one search at a time and return shallow snippets. This one acts as your automated Etsy cart counter and market-research engine — batching up to 50 keywords in parallel, deduping across them, and extracting over 40 deep fields per listing in a single run. No proxy, no captcha, no setup.

🎯 Strategic Playbooks

🔍 Niche Discovery & Demand Validation

Sweep up to 20 long-tail keywords in parallel. Use it as an automated Etsy cart counter — sort by buyer interest rather than static lifetime reviews to separate real buyers from seasonal traffic lulls.

{ "sort": "carts", "handmadeOnly": true, "includeAds": false }

🎯 Competitor Ad-Slot Mapping

Extract raw adSlot position integers to map who is buying top visibility across your target search phrases.

{ "includeAds": true, "maxPages": 5, "country": "US" }

📊 Pricing Curve & Elasticity

Sort high-to-low and apply hard min/max filters to chart price clustering, average order values, and conversion ceilings across competing categories.

{ "sort": "price-desc", "minPrice": 25, "maxPrice": 150 }

🌍 Cross-Border Arbitrage

Run identical queries against localized country codes to pinpoint gaps where high-demand domestic products have zero local competition overseas.

{ "country": "GB", "maxPages": 10 }

🔘 Console Toggles & Output Mapping

Match your Console toggle switches directly to the JSON parameters and dataset columns they control:

Console Toggle	JSON Parameter	What It Controls / Populates
On-sale listings only	"onSaleOnly": true	Filters to items where onSale: true; populates discountPct and discountedPrice.
Free-shipping listings only	"freeShippingOnly": true	Isolates rows with isFreeShipping: true to compare delivered-margin floors.
Digital downloads only	"digitalOnly": true	Filters for isDigital: true, removing physical-fulfillment inventory.
Handmade only	"handmadeOnly": true	Filters for isHandmade: true, separating artisan shops from resold goods.
Include sponsored (ad) listings	"includeAds": true	Captures runningAds: true and the paid adSlot position. Turn off for purely organic results.
Include "In demand" — bought in last 24h (slower)	"includeInDemand": true	Adds the boughtLast24h field (e.g. 20+ bought). Runs a per-listing lookup, so it's slower — off by default.
Dedupe across queries	"dedupeAcrossQueries": true	Default ON. When multiple keywords match the same listing, prevents duplicate rows.

⏱️ Execution Benchmark & Pagination Rules

Job Complexity	Execution Time	Expected Output
1 keyword, 1 page	1–2s	~36 listings
1 keyword, 10 pages	6–10s	~360 listings
3 keywords in parallel, 2 pages each	~5s	~200 listings (deduped)
With includeInDemand: true	+0.5–1s / listing	Appends boughtLast24h counts
50 keywords, 30 pages each (max scale)	~10–15 min	Complete niche footprint

ℹ️ Why listings may total below maxPages × 36: popular categories return overlapping items across pages. A 30-page sweep that mathematically totals 1,080 listings typically lands at 400–600 unique rows after deduplication. Set "dedupeAcrossQueries": false to keep raw duplicate hits.

⚠️ Hard boundaries: maxPages caps at 30. Deep pages (15+) may stop early if pagination runs out of matching inventory.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I getting very few or zero results?

If you paste full listing titles or long sentences into queries, search returns tiny or empty results — Etsy's search doesn't match long, wordy strings. Use concise 2–3 word keywords shoppers actually type (e.g. "leather journal", "ghost mug") instead of a whole product title.

Why was my run aborted around $1.00 — did I lose my data?

Nothing crashed, and no data was lost. This happens when an Apify spending limit kicks in — your account's spending cap or a per-run max-cost setting. When that ceiling is hit, Apify stops the run cleanly and charges only for the results already collected.

Your results are safe: items are written to the dataset the moment they're scraped, so everything gathered before the cutoff is saved and ready to export. To run larger sweeps without interruption, raise or remove the spending limit in your Apify Console settings.

How does this work as an Etsy cart-count checker?

Instead of clicking listings one-by-one, this actor acts as an automated Etsy cart counter across thousands of listings at once — systematically reading active buyer cart pressure (inCartCount) across entire niches in seconds.

What does "Include 'In demand' — bought in last 24h (slower)" do?

Turning on includeInDemand adds the boughtLast24h field — Etsy's own "X people bought this in the last 24 hours" signal (e.g. 20) for listings that have it. Because it pulls this per listing, runs take a little longer and cost slightly more, so it's off by default. Listings without the signal simply return empty for that field.

Do I need my own proxies or a captcha solver?

No. Everything needed to run is handled for you — no proxy subscription, no captcha service, no setup. Just enter your keywords and run.

How does multi-keyword deduplication work?

With dedupeAcrossQueries: true (the default), a listing that shows up under several keywords — say both "custom name necklace" and "gold plated necklace" — is kept only once, while retaining its ranking data and the keyword it was first discovered under.
