## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 results

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`).

### 🚀 Why this scraper?

Most Poshmark scrapers require you to manually visit the website, apply filters, copy the URL, and paste it into the scraper. **That's slow and unscalable.**

**Poshmark Scraper** acts like a real user:

1. You provide a **Search Keyword** (e.g., "Nike Tech Fleece").
2. You choose a **Sort Order** (e.g., Just In).
3. The actor navigates, searches, handles pagination, and extracts clean, high-fidelity data.

**Perfect for:**

- 📉 **Price Monitoring:** Track fashion trends and competitor pricing.
- 👗 **Reselling:** Find undervalued items ("sourcing") instantly.
- 📊 **Market Analysis:** Analyze brand popularity and seller performance.
- 🛍️ **Personal Shopping:** Find specific items across thousands of listings.

***

### 📖 How to Use

#### Option 1: Apify Console (No Coding)

1. Go to the **Input** tab.
2. Enter your **Search Keyword** (e.g., `Lululemon Align Leggings`).
3. (Optional) Set **Sort By** to `Just In` (`newest`) to get the latest listings.
4. **Proxy Selection:** Select "Apify Proxy" (**Residential US** is highly recommended) OR select your own custom proxy groups if you are renting the worker.
5. Click **Start**.
6. Download your data in Excel, CSV, or JSON format.

#### Option 2: API (Developers)

You can trigger this actor programmatically via REST API, Python, or Node.js.

##### Input Payload (JSON)

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "Vintage Levi's 501",
    "sortBy": "newest",
    // Options: "newest" (Just In), "cheapest", "expensive", "relevance"

    "maxPages": 1,
    "maxRequestsPerCrawl": 50,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
    }
}
```

##### 🐍 Python Example (Simple & Clean)

This script runs the scraper and saves the results to a local file. It demonstrates how to use **Custom Proxies** (Datacenter or Residential) associated with your Apify account.

```python
import json
from apify_client import ApifyClient

## 1. Configuration
APIFY_TOKEN = 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN'
ACTOR_ID = 'daddyapi/poshmark-scraper'

client = ApifyClient(APIFY_TOKEN)

## 2. Define Input
run_input = {
    "searchQuery": "Air Jordan 1 Retro",
    "sortBy": "newest",
    "maxPages": 1,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": True,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], # Residential is best for Poshmark
        "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
    }
}

print(f"🚀 Starting scraper for: {run_input['searchQuery']}...")

## 3. Run Actor
run = client.actor(ACTOR_ID).call(run_input=run_input)

if not run:
    print("❌ Failed to start run.")
    exit(1)

print(f"✅ Run finished! Status: {run['status']}")

## 4. Fetch & Save Results
dataset_client = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"])
items = dataset_client.list_items().items

filename = "results.json"
with open(filename, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    json.dump(items, f, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)

print(f"💾 Saved {len(items)} listings to {filename}")
```

### 🔒 Proxy Configuration (Bring Your Own Proxies)

This actor is fully compatible with **Apify Proxy** (Datacenter & Residential) and **Custom Proxies**.

#### 1. Residential Proxies (Best Reliability)

**Highly Recommended.** Poshmark has strict bot detection. Residential proxies (especially US-based) provide the highest success rate.

```json
{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
    }
}
```

#### 2. Datacenter Proxies (Cost-Effective)

If you have your own Datacenter proxy groups on Apify you can try them here, but be aware of potential blocks (403 errors).

```json
{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "BUYPROXIES94952"
        ]
    }
}
```

#### 3. Bring Your Own Proxies (Custom URLs)

If you have proxies from an external provider (BrightData, Smartproxy, IPRoyal, etc.), you can pass the connection strings directly.

```json
{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": false,
        "proxyUrls": [
            "http://username:password@my-proxy.example.com:8000",
            "http://username:password@my-proxy-2.example.com:8000"
        ]
    }
}
```

## MCP server setup

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
