Whatnot — Listings, Sellers & Shop Inventory

What does Whatnot do?

Whatnot Scraper extracts listings and seller profiles from Whatnot — the leading live-commerce platform for collectibles, trading cards, comics, toys, and sports memorabilia. Unlike general e-commerce scrapers, it walks full seller shop inventories, extracts structured card attributes (Set, Grade, Year, Cert), and tracks price changes across runs so you always know what's new and what's dropped in price.

Key features

• 🏪 Full seller shop inventory — cursor-walk a seller's complete active listings, not just a capped search page. Get every item they have listed with prices, conditions, and attributes.
• ⭐ Real seller ratings & social proof — extract verified seller rating, review count, follower count, sold count, and Premier Shop / verified badges from each profile.
• 🃏 Structured listing attributes — Set, Grade, Year, Certification, and Condition extracted as structured key-value pairs from listingAttributeValues[] — ready for filtering and analytics.
• ♻️ Incremental price tracking — each run tags listings as NEW, UPDATED, or UNCHANGED. Price and bid changes are captured in lastObservedPrice / lastObservedBid — no duplicate re-scraping.
• 🔍 Deal filters — filter by price range, minimum discount %, minimum quantity, offerable-only, and condition substring (e.g. "new" matches "New", "Like New", "Brand New").
• 📦 Four scrape modes — keyword search, category browse, seller shop walk, or paste direct listing/seller URLs. Mix modes in one run.
• 🤖 AI-ready structured output — listings and seller profiles as clean JSON with consistent field names, null-free (with excludeEmptyFields), and description in text/HTML/Markdown format.
• 🔌 MCP connectors — export listings and seller profiles straight into Notion (or another connected app) via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI.

What data can you extract from whatnot.com?

Each result includes Core Whatnot Scraper fields (type, id, url, title, images, videos, listingType, and status, and more) and detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionHtml, and descriptionMarkdown). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions where the source provides them.
