## Pricing

from $6.00 / 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`).

# README

## eBay Search Scraper

Paste any eBay search URL and get back structured listings as JSON or CSV.

### What it collects

- Item ID and listing URL
- Title
- Price and currency
- Condition (New, Used, Refurbished, etc.)
- Shipping
- Seller name and feedback score
- Item location
- Product image URL
- Sponsored flag
- Sold count and watch count (when eBay shows them)

### How to use

1. Go to the Input tab.
2. Paste your eBay search URL.
3. Set how many items you want (default 100, max 1000).
4. Hit Start.
5. Download from the Dataset tab as JSON or CSV.

### Example input

```json
{
  "searchUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=massage+recliner+sofa+chair&_sacat=6024&_sop=12",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

### Example output

```json
{
  "itemId": "125678901234",
  "title": "Massage Recliner Sofa Chair Full Body Shiatsu Electric Heat",
  "price": "299.99",
  "currency": "USD",
  "condition": "New",
  "shipping": "Free shipping",
  "sellerName": "best_furniture_deals",
  "sellerFeedback": "99.5%",
  "itemLocation": "Los Angeles, California",
  "itemUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/125678901234",
  "imageUrl": "https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/xxxxx/s-l300.jpg",
  "isSponsored": false,
  "soldCount": "42 sold",
  "watchCount": "15 watchers",
  "searchUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=massage+recliner+sofa+chair",
  "scrapedAt": "2024-01-15T12:34:56.789Z"
}
```

### Tips

- Apply eBay's filters (category, price, condition, sort order) in the URL before you run.
- `_sop=12` sorts by newest listings first.
- Pagination is automatic. The actor stops when it hits your limit or runs out of results.

### Limitations

- All data comes from search pages. Individual listing detail pages are not fetched.
- Sold and watch counts only show up when eBay includes them in the search snippet.
- Some fields may be absent depending on listing type or region.

# Actor input Schema

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=massage+recliner+sofa+chair"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("kawsar/ebay-scrapper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "searchUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=massage+recliner+sofa+chair" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("kawsar/ebay-scrapper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=massage+recliner+sofa+chair"
}' |
apify call kawsar/ebay-scrapper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,kawsar/ebay-scrapper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
