## Pricing

from $3.88 / 1,000 listings

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`).

# README

## Etsy Listings Scraper — Prices, Reviews, Shops | from $1.50/1K | No API Key

Built for Etsy sellers doing competitor research, e-commerce analysts tracking pricing trends, and dropshippers validating handmade/supply niches.

**Pricing:** Pay per listing — $1.50/1K. First results are free to try.

**No API key, no setup.** Just give a search keyword and/or a shop name — the actor reads the same public listing data that etsy.com shows in search results and on shop pages.

### What you get

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `listing_id` | Numeric Etsy listing ID |
| `title` | Listing title |
| `url` | Full listing URL on etsy.com (tracking params stripped) |
| `price` | Current price (float) |
| `original_price` | Strikethrough / list price on discounted listings |
| `on_sale` | `true` when the listing is discounted |
| `currency` | ISO 4217 currency code (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP) |
| `image_url` | Full-resolution listing image |
| `rating` | Star rating (0–5) |
| `review_count` | Number of reviews |
| `shop_id` | Numeric shop ID |
| `shop_name` | Shop name (when exposed on the page) |
| `shop_url` | Shop page URL |
| `is_ad` | Whether the listing is a promoted/ad slot |
| `free_shipping` | Free-shipping badge (best-effort) |
| `availability` | Stock status (e.g. `InStock`, when exposed) |
| `position` | Rank within the result set |
| `search_query` / `shop_filter` | Which input produced the row |
| `page_number` | Result page the row came from |
| `scraped_at` | ISO 8601 timestamp of this scrape |
| `parse_confidence` | Data-quality score 0–1 |
| `warnings` | Array of field-level quality warnings |

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchKeywords` | string | No\* | Keyword search across all of Etsy (e.g. "handmade soy candle") |
| `shopName` | string | No\* | Etsy shop name or URL to list one shop's items (e.g. "CitrineAndCo") |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | Max listings (default 100, 0 = unlimited) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | Apify Residential proxy (country US recommended) |

\* At least one of `searchKeywords` or `shopName` is required. You can use both.

#### Example inputs

**Search listings:**

```json
{
  "searchKeywords": "handmade soy candle",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" }
}
```

**List a single shop:**

```json
{
  "shopName": "CitrineAndCo",
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

### How it works

- **Keyword search:** reads `etsy.com/search?q=<keywords>`, page by page.
- **Shop listing:** reads `etsy.com/shop/<shopName>`, page by page.
- Both modes can run together (deduplicated by `listing_id`).
- Listing data is read from the page's structured listing cards plus the embedded `ItemList` metadata, so fields stay stable across cosmetic layout changes.

### Access & reliability

Etsy is a protected target — it requires a residential proxy for reliable access, and datacenter IPs are not reliable. This actor reaches the site with a resilient browser tier over Apify Residential that handles the site's challenge step automatically, with a managed-access service wired in as a backstop. You do **not** need any external proxy or browser account — everything runs on your own Apify account.

Every record ships a `parse_confidence` score (0.0–1.0), so your pipeline detects layout drift early — before buyers complain.

### Monetization

Pay-per-result (PPE): charged per listing returned. No charge for failed runs.

| Volume | Cost |
|---|---|
| 100 listings | $0.15 |
| 1,000 listings | $1.50 |
| 10,000 listings | $15.00 |

### Integrations

The JSON/dataset output drops into the tools you already run, no glue code:

- **n8n / Make / Zapier** — pipe every new dataset item into 500+ apps: [n8n](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/n8n), [Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make), [Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier).
- **Webhooks** — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes ([docs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)).
- **MCP server** — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any [MCP client](https://mcp.apify.com) ([guide](https://blog.apify.com/how-to-use-mcp/)).
- **API & SDKs** — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs.

See all [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations).

### FAQ

**Do I need an Etsy API key?**
No. Just provide a search keyword and/or shop name — there's nothing to register.

**What if a run returns empty?**
If `searchKeywords` returns no results, try a broader term. If a shop has no active listings, `shopName` returns nothing. For the most reliable access, keep the Apify Residential (US) proxy enabled.

**What output formats are available?**
JSON (default), CSV, and Excel — via the Apify dataset export or API.

### Not affiliated with Etsy

This actor is an independent tool that collects publicly available listing data. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Etsy, Inc.

### More scrapers from our toolkit

Building a data pipeline? These actors pair well with this one — each runs on your own Apify account with the same pay-per-result pricing, no subscription:

- [Facebook Marketplace Scraper](https://apify.com/bovi/facebook-marketplace-scraper)
- [Grailed Listings](https://apify.com/bovi/grailed-listings)
- [Kleinanzeigen Listings Scraper](https://apify.com/bovi/kleinanzeigen-listings-scraper)

Chain any of them together from the **Integrations** tab (the *Run succeeded* trigger) to build a multi-step workflow — one actor's output feeds the next.

### Usage statistics

This Actor creates a small, content-free summary at the end of each run. It is used only to monitor reliability and improve this Actor. A copy is saved as `USAGE_STATS` in your own Apify key-value store, so you can see the exact record created for your run.

Set `disableUsageStats` to `true` in the input to opt out. Nothing is sent then; your `USAGE_STATS` record only says that statistics were disabled.

Only these fields are recorded:

- schema version, Actor name and build number;
- UTC start and finish hour (not a precise timestamp);
- run duration, number of results and time to the first result, each as a coarse range;
- whether the result was empty, the end status, and an error type from a fixed list;
- memory setting and counts of charged events;
- names of the input fields you set, never their values;
- the selected option for input fields that offer a fixed list of choices (for example a sort order).

We do not collect input text, search terms, URLs, domains, usernames, email addresses, names, proxy credentials, tokens, scraped records, output items, raw error messages, stack traces, or hashes of any of those values. Records are kept for no longer than 13 months, used only as aggregated operational statistics, and never sold or shared.

#### Additional fields (Phase 2)

This Actor also records your Apify user ID, whether Apify marks the account as paying, the size range of list inputs, the selected country when the input offers a fixed list of countries, and one category from a fixed Actor taxonomy. We use these fields only for aggregate reliability, repeat-use and cross-Actor analysis; reports suppress any cell with fewer than five distinct users.

The same `disableUsageStats: true` input flag turns these fields off too. The user ID is removed after 13 months; we do not export, sell, share, or attempt to re-identify this data.

#### Run-outcome signals (v2)

To learn whether a run did what it was asked to do, the record also holds a few more coarse ranges and yes/no flags. None of them contains content:

- the result limit you asked for (a range, when the input has one) and what share of it was delivered;
- results delivered per input item you listed (a range);
- output quality as ranges: how fully the result fields were filled, the share of rows that look like errors, the share of duplicate rows, and how many different fields appeared. These are counted in memory while results are saved; no result content is kept;
- how the run was started (console, API, schedule, webhook, another Actor);
- how it ended: stopped by you, timed out, reached the requested limit, stopped by the charge limit, and how many times the platform moved the run;
- if this Actor reports it: how many items to process worked or failed (ranges) and one failure reason from a fixed list;
- a short code made from the names of the input fields you set, never their values.

#### Repeat-run fingerprint (v2)

When your Apify user ID is recorded (see above), the record also holds an 8-character one-way code made from your input (proxy settings left out) and this Actor's name. It only lets us see that the same account ran the same input again soon after an unsatisfying run; we never see the input itself. It is stored only in the database, never published, and reports use it in aggregate with the same five-user minimum. It is the one exception to the statement above that no hashes are collected, and `disableUsageStats: true` turns it off.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchKeywords` (type: `string`):

Keyword or phrase to search across all Etsy shops (e.g. 'handmade soy candle', 'vintage ring'). Provide this and/or a Shop name below.

## `shopName` (type: `string`):

Etsy shop name to list a single shop's items (e.g. 'CitrineAndCo'). You can paste a full shop URL too. Use instead of, or together with, search keywords.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum total listings to return across all pages. Set 0 for no limit. Default 100. Each page yields up to ~64 listings.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

REQUIRED. Etsy requires a residential proxy for reliable access — datacenter IPs are not reliable. Apify Residential (country US) gives the best pass rate. No external proxy account needed.

## `disableUsageStats` (type: `boolean`):

See the README Usage statistics section for details.
