## Pricing

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 Scraper Lite

Etsy Scraper Lite is a powerful tool that allows you to extract product data from [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/) without needing an API key. It enables you to search for products by keyword or scrape specific product URLs to get details like titles, prices, ratings, and seller information.

### What does Etsy Scraper Lite do?

This actor allows you to:

- **Search for products** by any keyword (e.g., "handmade jewelry", "vintage decor").
- **Filter results** by minimum and maximum price.
- **Sort results** by relevance, newest, lowest price, or highest price.
- **Extract product details** directly from search result pages or individual product pages.
- **Support for Free Shipping** filter to find only items that ship for free.
- **Handle pagination** automatically to scrape multiple pages of results.

### What data can I extract from Etsy?

Etsy Scraper Lite extracts different levels of detail depending on how you use it.

- **Search Results:** When searching by keyword or using search result URLs, the actor extracts basic information available on the search results page.
- **Detailed Product Info:** To get full product details (description, images, SKU, etc.), you **must provide individual product URLs** in the **Start URLs** field.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchTerm": "handmade gifts",
  "maxItems": 50
}' |
apify call trudax/etsy-lite --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",

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).
