# Ebay Scraper (`getdataforme/ebay-scraper`) Actor EBay scraper automatically extracts product listings, prices, seller information, auction data, and buyer feedback from eBay.com. It helps track pricing trends, monitor competitor listings, analyze sales patterns, and gather market intelligence for sellers and businesses operating on the platform. - **URL**: https://apify.com/getdataforme/ebay-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [GetDataForMe](https://apify.com/getdataforme) (community) - **Categories:** E-commerce, Automation - **Features:** Full permissions - **Stats:** 60 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## Ebay Scraper Documentation ### Overview The **EbayScraper** is an Apify actor designed to extract detailed product information from Ebay.com. By providing a list of product URLs as input, the scraper retrieves essential details, including product name, price, image, condition, availability, and more. *** ### Input Configuration The input for the EbayScraper should be a JSON object containing one key: - `urls`: An array of eBay product URLs to scrape. #### Input Example ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.ebay.com/itm/373391761425?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D277717%2C278304%2C277738%26meid%3D6e72edf34af5498c8b628c7b8f66b4d2%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D312936023366%26itm%3D373391761425%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV2bAndUBSourceDemotionWithUltimatelyBoughtOfCoviewV1%26brand%3DTrendsMax&_trksid=p2332490.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A3733917614256e72edf34af5498c8b628c7b8f66b4d2%7Cenc%3AAQAJAAABQJh9BGsXvPG03pKg78mUhLLErCJ%252BXOEYDkzTGJ85B4rSRXG6DGHfiL9UFpXuaOk%252FmuXW6x51j8YJMfy7doeYuyk9WZaRPkl%252FLlHN84X3%252FeYgVG3iucUQjkVp9Lf5uEN8TkYtrbtS3rnCHV3e5PlJJrOqlfSlPOHTSpP1kO%252BGI1OwfPWwUgFiEElVi5PESVCm2MdeXGA3lA8k85tAT4HDQhuW8TpfJiay2EwkFpQY4ZjHUFu6VNMitYSFoGAKfNM94TX%252Fs3WgD%252BugKyh3dTwbtfKr%252FAejF0IPHYryWAGt8b6d4aaAcaNItM0lZwlGtyF1ADvZn23H%252FLhW9UP47gppJSW75lNs86idw%252F24UY56qlTep7YXLzO%252FUNmyg52hLVuqsMdh4fFnHM1tn4T%252BbRi7%252BdVX9qUOImSwlqk2fJ6bIl7y%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2332490&itmmeta=01JFH7Y2D4N72H828QTZPMWJCE" ] } ``` *** ### Output The scraper returns a JSON object containing the following fields: - `model`: The model identifier for the product, if available. - `brand`: The brand name of the product. - `name`: The product name. - `url`: The product URL provided in the input. - `image`: The URL of the product image. - `itemCondition`: The condition of the product (e.g., New, Used). - `availability`: The availability status of the product (e.g., In Stock). - `priceCurrency`: The currency of the product price. - `price`: The price of the product. - `shippingDetails`: An object containing shipping cost and currency. - `rating`: The average user rating of the product (if available). - `ratingCount`: The number of user ratings (if available). - `reviews_data`: An array of reviews (if available). #### Output Example ```json { "model": "N/A", "brand": "TrendsMax", "name": "Stainless Steel Cuban Curb Chain Silver 16\"-30\" Men Choker Necklace 3/5/7/9/11mm", "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/373391761425?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D277717%2C278304%2C277738%26meid%3D6e72edf34af5498c8b628c7b8f66b4d2%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D312936023366%26itm%3D373391761425%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV2bAndUBSourceDemotionWithUltimatelyBoughtOfCoviewV1%26brand%3DTrendsMax&_trksid=p2332490.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A3733917614256e72edf34af5498c8b628c7b8f66b4d2%7Cenc%3AAQAJAAABQJh9BGsXvPG03pKg78mUhLLErCJ%252BXOEYDkzTGJ85B4rSRXG6DGHfiL9UFpXuaOk%252FmuXW6x51j8YJMfy7doeYuyk9WZaRPkl%252FLlHN84X3%252FeYgVG3iucUQjkVp9Lf5uEN8TkYtrbtS3rnCHV3e5PlJJrOqlfSlPOHTSpP1kO%252BGI1OwfPWwUgFiEElVi5PESVCm2MdeXGA3lA8k85tAT4HDQhuW8TpfJiay2EwkFpQY4ZjHUFu6VNMitYSFoGAKfNM94TX%252Fs3WgD%252BugKyh3dTwbtfKr%252FAejF0IPHYryWAGt8b6d4aaAcaNItM0lZwlGtyF1ADvZn23H%252FLhW9UP47gppJSW75lNs86idw%252F24UY56qlTep7YXLzO%252FUNmyg52hLVuqsMdh4fFnHM1tn4T%252BbRi7%252BdVX9qUOImSwlqk2fJ6bIl7y%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2332490&itmmeta=01JFH7Y2D4N72H828QTZPMWJCE", "image": "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/yzYAAOSwibJfNngl/s-l1600.jpg", "itemCondition": "https://schema.org/NewCondition", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "price": "5.99", "shippingDetails": { "@type": "MonetaryAmount", "value": "0.0", "currency": "USD" }, "rating": null, "ratingCount": null, "reviews_data": [] } ``` *** ### Usage Instructions 1. **Input Preparation**: Create a JSON file containing the `urls` array with the product URLs you want to scrape. 2. **Actor Execution**: Run the EbayScraper actor on the Apify platform, providing the input JSON file. 3. **Retrieve Results**: After the execution, download the output JSON containing the scraped data. *** ### Support For custom outputs, simplified formats, or to report any issues, please contact: - **Email**: - **Contact Form**: When reaching out, please include a clear subject line and detailed description of your request or issue. *** Thank you for using the EbayScraper!
