## Pricing

from $1.32 / 1,000 saved records

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 Scraper exports **public Etsy product listings** from searches and Etsy URLs. Collect listing IDs, titles, displayed prices, images and public seller details in one dataset for product research or spreadsheet analysis. Etsy challenges can limit coverage, and optional fields are not always available.

### Quick start

Start with a small search and turn off optional detail enrichment:

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["linen apron"],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "includeDetails": false
}
```

Run the Actor, then open the default dataset to view or export the records. Provide at least one search query or public Etsy URL. No Etsy login is used.

Prefer a video guide? This short Apify walkthrough shows you how to set up and run an Actor. It uses a different Actor, but the setup steps are the same.

### Ready-to-run examples

- [Export Etsy Linen Apron Listings](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/etsy-scraper/examples/export-etsy-linen-apron-listings) — Start with an existing small search configuration. This example includes optional details, so coverage and completion time depend on Etsy's responses.

### What you get

- **Product research:** listing IDs, URLs, titles, primary images and displayed offer data.
- **Seller discovery:** public shop identifiers, names and links on listing records when available.
- **Rating context:** aggregate ratings and review counts, not individual customer reviews.
- **Traceability:** source URL, query, page, position and collection timestamp where available.

Searches, categories, listing lookups and shop inputs share the same default dataset. There is no separate seller dataset.

### Who is it for?

- **Etsy sellers** comparing public product assortments and displayed prices.
- **Market researchers** collecting a bounded sample of listings in a niche.
- **Developers and analysts** bringing listing records into their own applications or spreadsheets.

### Input settings

| Setting | API field | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Search queries | `searchQueries` | List of Etsy product searches. |
| Etsy URLs | `startUrls` | Public Etsy URLs as strings or objects containing `url`. |
| Maximum saved records | `maxItems` | Global cap of 1–5000 listing rows. Default 20. |
| Include listing details | `includeDetails` | Default `true`. Extra detail lookups can take longer. |
| Proxy country | `country` | Managed-proxy country preference, including residential browser fallback. Form default US. |
| Proxy configuration | `proxyConfiguration` | Optional managed Apify Proxy settings. See field help. |

Searches and URLs can be combined. The result cap applies across all targets, not separately to each query. A cap is not a guarantee of that many results.

For a market or category, put its complete public URL in `startUrls`:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.etsy.com/market/linen_apron"}],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "includeDetails": false
}
```

You can also provide a public listing URL or a `/shop/SHOP_NAME` URL. Shop results cover only listings available from its public feed. There is no built-in sort or price-filter input.

### Output data

| Fields | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `listingId`, `listingUrl`, `title` | Etsy listing identity, public URL and title. |
| `imageUrl` | Primary image when available. |
| `price`, `currencyCode`, `availability` | Displayed offer information, not a checkout quote. |
| `shopId`, `shopName`, `shopUrl` | Public seller identity and shop link when exposed. |
| `rating`, `reviewCount` | Rating aggregates, not review text. |
| `position`, `page`, `sourceQuery` | Search provenance where applicable. |
| `sourceUrl`, `scrapedAt` | Requested source and collection timestamp. |

Optional fields may be absent. This illustrative shape is not a collected listing:

```json
{
  "listingId": "1234567890",
  "listingUrl": "https://www.etsy.com/listing/1234567890",
  "title": "Illustrative listing title",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.etsy.com/market/linen_apron",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-26T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

When available, the key-value store's `SUMMARY` record reports saved rows, target failures and unfinished targets. It does not report a charged-record count. It is supplementary to the dataset and can be unavailable if saving that summary fails.

#### Download your results

Open your run's dataset, choose **Export** and select JSON, CSV or Excel. JSON keeps nested fields together. CSV and Excel are useful when you want to review the records in a spreadsheet.

See [Apify's download and export guide](https://docs.apify.com/storage/dataset#apify-console) for the available formats and field options.

### Pricing

The `result` event is charged per successfully stored listing row. There is no Actor start event. Empty datasets do not produce result events. Useful rows saved before a later failure are chargeable. No separate status or error rows are emitted.

See the [live Pricing tab](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/etsy-scraper/pricing) for current rates and discounts.

### Tips for best results

- **Start small.** Check a few records before increasing the requested volume.
- **Use specific product terms.** A focused query makes the returned sample easier to evaluate.
- **Skip details when unnecessary.** Set `includeDetails` to `false` when listing summaries are enough.
- **Check missing values and run status.** Do not interpret absent prices or ratings as zero.

### Limits and caveats

- **Incomplete coverage:** Etsy challenges, rate limits and page changes may prevent extraction. A challenge does not prove that a listing is private or deleted.
- **Empty and failed runs:** a completed extraction with no usable records can return an empty dataset. HTTP failures and blocking can fail a run with no saved rows. Previously saved rows may remain available after a failure.
- **Optional details:** some listing and shop fields are unavailable. A detail lookup may fail while useful summary records remain.
- **Scope:** public listing information only. No accounts, messages, private seller analytics or individual review text. This tool is independent of Etsy.
- **Partial batches:** requested volume and complete catalogs are not guaranteed. Inspect the dataset and available run summary before making coverage claims.
- **Separate snapshots:** each run starts independently. Do not expect a later run to resume earlier output automatically.

### Automation and integrations

#### Save your settings for next time

Once you have an input that works for you, [save it as an Apify task](https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/tasks). This keeps your settings together so you can use them again without filling in the form from scratch.

#### Run on a schedule

Need fresh results regularly? You can [schedule the Actor or a saved task](https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/schedules) to run at a time that suits you.

Each scheduled run collects the data again. If you want to compare results or highlight changes, add that step in your own workflow.

#### Send results to your other tools

Use **n8n, Make or Zapier** to connect this scraper to the rest of your workflow. For example, you could pass its results to an AI assistant or add records to a spreadsheet. Follow the [Apify integration guides](https://docs.apify.com/integrations) for your chosen tool.

For a custom connection, an [Apify webhook](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/webhooks) can notify your app when a run finishes or fails. Your app can then fetch the results or handle the failure.

### API usage

Want to collect this data from your own app or automation? The examples below send input to the scraper and show how to collect its results.

The Node.js and Python examples wait for the run to finish before reading its results. The cURL example starts the run and returns its details. Wait for that run to finish, then use its `defaultDatasetId` to fetch the results.

For setup instructions, see Apify's [JavaScript client guide](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js), [Python client guide](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python) and [Actor runs API reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/acts-runs-post).

#### cURL

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~etsy-scraper/runs' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["linen apron"],"maxItems":10,"includeDetails":false}'
```

#### Node.js

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('fetch_cat/etsy-scraper').call({
  searchQueries: ['linen apron'], maxItems: 10, includeDetails: false,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

#### Python

```python
import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient(os.environ['APIFY_TOKEN'])
run = client.actor('fetch_cat/etsy-scraper').call(run_input={
    'searchQueries': ['linen apron'], 'maxItems': 10, 'includeDetails': False,
})
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
```

### MCP and AI agents

You can ask your AI assistant to collect data with **Etsy Scraper** and help you work with the results. The scraper returns the data, and your assistant can then summarize it, compare records or prepare notes.

Connect your assistant through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com/). MCP gives your assistant a way to find this scraper, run it and read the results. Follow the [official setup and sign-in guide](https://docs.apify.com/mcp) for your app.

#### Easier setup with an Apify plugin

If you use a supported coding assistant, the [official Apify plugin](https://docs.apify.com/agents/plugins) can set up the connection for you. It connects your assistant to Apify and includes instructions for common tasks. Follow the guide for your particular app.

#### Use Apify AI in Console

Prefer to keep everything in Apify? Open [Apify AI in Console](https://docs.apify.com/account/apify-ai) and ask it to find Fetch Cat's **Etsy Scraper**. You can describe the data you want and ask questions about the results.

Apify AI is currently in beta. It asks for confirmation before starting an Actor, and normal run charges apply.

#### Choose your assistant

- **Claude and Claude Code (Anthropic):** [Apify setup guide](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/claude).
- **ChatGPT and Codex (OpenAI):** [Apify setup guides](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/openai).
- **Grok Bot (xAI):** [Apify plugin guide](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/grok-bot).
- **Gemini CLI (Google):** [MCP server setup guide](https://geminicli.com/docs/tools/mcp-server/). Use the server URL below with the HTTP configuration supported by Gemini CLI.

#### Connect just this scraper

To keep your setup focused on this scraper, add this server configuration to a compatible MCP client:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch_cat/etsy-scraper"
    }
  }
}
```

Sign in to Apify when your client asks. If your client uses a Bearer token instead, follow its setup guide and keep the token in its secure configuration. Configuration formats vary by app, so use the linked guide if your client needs a different format.

#### Use Apify's general server

Already connected to the general Apify MCP server at `https://mcp.apify.com`? You can use it to find this scraper without adding another server. Ask your assistant to use **Etsy Scraper** by Fetch Cat, or give it the identifier `fetch_cat/etsy-scraper`.

Your assistant can check the available settings and retrieve the results from the returned run. If the run is still working, it should follow that run rather than start it again. Both connection options use Apify's hosted service.

#### Example requests

- “Find up to ten public linen-apron listings and put the available titles, prices and listing links into a table.”
- “Collect a small sample from this public Etsy shop URL and summarize the available product assortment.”
- “Look up this public Etsy listing and show me its available seller and rating details. Tell me which details are missing.”

Normal Apify charges apply. Check the [live Pricing tab](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/etsy-scraper/pricing) before asking your assistant to run a larger batch.

### Pay with x402

If your AI agent has a funded wallet, it can pay for Apify usage through [x402](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/x402). This experimental option lets an agent use Apify without a conventional account.

[Apify AGI](https://agi.apify.com/) provides a prepaid API token with a spending cap after payment. Your agent can use that token to run this scraper through the Apify API or an authenticated MCP connection.

Some MCP setups also support paying for each request directly. That is a different payment option, so check the official guide for its availability.

Follow the official guide for wallet setup, supported payment options and current terms. Apify handles the payments. Keep wallet keys and payment tokens in your agent's secure configuration.

#### Other ways for agents to pay

Apify also supports **MPP** for prepaid access through AGI and **Skyfire** for eligible Actors. If your agent already uses one of these, see the [agentic payment guide](https://docs.apify.com/agents/payments) to choose the right setup.

### FAQ

#### Can I use this as an Etsy API alternative?

You can call it through Apify's API to collect the supported public listing fields. It is not Etsy's official API and does not provide authenticated seller operations or private data.

#### Can I export Etsy listings to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Export the default dataset from your run, or retrieve its records through the API.

#### Why are some fields or results missing?

Etsy varies public fields by target and can challenge automated access. Detail enrichment may fail while summary records remain useful. Check the run status and available `SUMMARY`. A failed or empty run does not prove that a target has no listings.

#### Can I track prices over time?

Save each snapshot in your own database or spreadsheet and compare listing IDs and collection timestamps. This Actor does not calculate changes or send built-in price alerts.

#### Does the country setting change all results?

No. It supplies the proxy country for managed Apify Proxy, including residential browser fallback. With omitted proxy settings, the anonymous browser first tries a direct session, then residential Apify Proxy if needed. Explicit `proxyConfiguration: { "useApifyProxy": false }` keeps all requests direct with no paid proxy fallback. It does not set a ship-to address, currency or locale.

# Changelog

This Actor's version history is a separate document: https://apify.com/fetch_cat/etsy-scraper/changelog.md

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Etsy product searches. Provide at least one nonempty query or public Etsy URL. Queries and URLs can be combined. The maximum saved-record limit applies across all targets.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Public Etsy search, category, listing or shop URLs, as strings or objects with a url field. Provide a query or URL. Remote URL-list sources and private account paths are not supported. Shop coverage is limited to the public feed.

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

Maximum listing rows saved across all queries and URLs, from 1 to 5000. Default 20. Coverage and available processing time may produce fewer records.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Default true. Fetch additional public listing details when available. Extra lookups take longer and may be blocked. False keeps available listing summaries. Shop-feed results are not separately enriched.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Two-letter country preference for managed Apify Proxy, including residential fallback if a direct anonymous browser session is refused. An explicit apifyProxyCountry in proxyConfiguration takes precedence. This does not set a ship-to address, currency or locale for direct requests.

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

Optional managed Apify Proxy configuration. Omitted settings use direct requests first. Set useApifyProxy: false for direct-only requests with no paid proxy fallback. Set useApifyProxy: true to use managed Apify Proxy with optional apifyProxyGroups and apifyProxyCountry for all requests. When Etsy refuses ordinary requests, the Actor reads the same public pages in an anonymous browser session: it uses your managed proxy settings when enabled, otherwise tries a direct session before residential Apify Proxy in the selected country, unless useApifyProxy is explicitly false. Custom proxyUrls are not used by this Actor. Supply supported settings with a boolean useApifyProxy value. Proxy choice does not guarantee access to Etsy.
