eBay Scraper

ebay.com

eBay is a high-volume target for price monitoring because listings change constantly, and it is one of the quickest sites in our sweep. A dedicated plugin endpoint takes a keyword and a marketplace and returns the listings already parsed, so there is no eBay developer account, OAuth application or API quota involved - and no HTML to parse yourself.

What you can extract

• Listing title, item number, condition (with a normalised code) and a clean item URL
• Numeric price and currency, parsed from each marketplace's own format
• Seller username, feedback percentage and feedback score
• Shipping cost or free-delivery flag, plus free returns and item location
• Sold count, watcher count, bid count and auction time left
• eBay's own total result count, and a flag when eBay found no exact match

Dedicated endpoints

Supported marketplaces

Prices come back in each marketplace's local currency, with the exit pinned to that country automatically.

How to scrape it

curl -X POST \
  -H "X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key: $SU_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/marketplace/ebay-search?keyword=iphone%2013&marketplace=ebay.com&condition=used"

import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/marketplace/ebay-search",
    headers={"X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key": SU_API_KEY},
    params={"keyword": "iphone 13", "marketplace": "ebay.com", "condition": "used"},
)
print(resp.text)

import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from 'scrapeunblocker';

const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient({ apiKey: process.env.SU_API_KEY });

const items = await su.ebaySearch('iphone 13', {
  marketplace: 'ebay.com',
  condition: 'used',
});
console.log(results);

Requests are POST and take their parameters in the query string. Browser rendering always happens - there is no flag to enable.
