eBay Listings Scraper

eBay Listings Scraper — Extracto API reference

Search eBay by keyword or category and collect active listing titles, prices, conditions and links.

Collection scope

Active listing prices are asking prices, not completed-sale prices. Results depend on the selected marketplace and filters.

Using Extracto

Extracto provides a web interface and HTTP API for submitting scraping tasks, tracking their status and retrieving structured results. Some parsers use third-party scraping providers for execution. Your Extracto account, API key and credit balance are managed at extracto.cloud.

Create an account at https://extracto.cloud/register, confirm your email and create an API key at https://extracto.cloud/api-keys. You can also configure and run this parser in the web interface at https://extracto.cloud/marketplace/ebay-listings-scraper.

Pricing and credits

Current Extracto price: $0.814332 / 1,000 results. Extracto charges your credit balance for parser usage. 1,000 credits correspond to $1 USD. The displayed rate includes Extracto pricing; additional enabled options are shown in the estimate. Review the cost estimate in the web interface or POST your request body to https://extracto.cloud/api/v1/parsers/ebay-listings-scraper/estimate before launching a task. An estimate does not start scraping. Credit packages are listed at https://extracto.cloud/pricing; billing details are at https://extracto.cloud/docs#billing.

Input

Send JSON with the parser settings inside an input object. The example is a starting point: replace the sources and limits with your own permitted targets. Launching it starts a real task and can spend credits.

        ],
        "marketplace": "EBAY_US",
        "maxResults": 10
    }

Requests and authentication

Use your Extracto key in the X-API-KEY header. Send Content-Type: application/json and Accept: application/json. Keep the key private on your server.

POST https://extracto.cloud/api/v1/parsers/ebay-listings-scraper — wait for a synchronous result. Successful output is in data, with the result count in count and usage in meta.credits. POST https://extracto.cloud/api/v1/parsers/ebay-listings-scraper/queue — submit a queued task. Save run.id from the HTTP 202 response. GET https://extracto.cloud/api/v1/parser-runs/{run_id} — check a saved task using the same account's API key. Poll about once every five seconds while its status is queued or running. Stop at ok, partial, cancelled or error. Saved results are in run.result; failures are described in run.error.

Output

Returned fields depend on the parser, input and source availability. A successful task can return no matching records. Availability and completion time can change when the source website changes. The following sample is illustrative documentation data, not a customer run or a guarantee of results:

[
    {
        "title": "Apple iPhone 15 Fully Unlocked 6.1in - 128GB - eSIM -Good",
        "price": 375,
        "currency": "USD",
        "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/145829369846?_skw=iphone+15&hash=item21f41b97f6:g:C70AAeSwEzlqx8QB"
    }
]

• title (string): Returned title. May be missing when the source does not provide it.
• price (number): Returned price. May be missing when the source does not provide it.
• currency (string): Returned currency. May be missing when the source does not provide it.
• url (string): Returned url. May be missing when the source does not provide it.
