Pricing

The Actor costs $7.00 per 1,000 results. A typical run extracting 100 listings costs about $0.70. No proxy bandwidth is consumed for the recommended archive source, so your run costs stay at the absolute minimum.

Tips or advanced options

• Use the Wayback Machine source by default. It is unblocked and costs $0 in proxy fees. It fetches the latest available snapshot of Swappa's listings and extracts clean product data.
• Set filters to slim down the run. Use the Carrier, Price, and Condition filters to target the exact listings you need. Filters are applied during extraction to save you time.
• List-only mode is 10x faster. Keep scrapeDetails: false (the default) to capture listings straight from the index page. Turn it on only if you need full seller reviews, shipping details, and descriptions.
• Direct links bypass search. Paste category URLs directly into startUrls to bypass search mapping and scrape niche models or accessories instantly.
• Data snapshots are reproducible. Because the snapshots are immutable, running the same Wayback URL with the same parameters will always produce identical, reliable results, which is perfect for backtesting and price history comparison.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is the Swappa scraper legal and compliant?

Yes. The Swappa scraper reads from the public Internet Archive Wayback Machine, which only crawls public web pages. It does not access private databases or require accounts. You are responsible for compliance with Swappa terms of service and applicable local laws.

Does this scraper get blocked by Cloudflare?

No. While direct cloud access to Swappa is heavily filtered by Cloudflare, our Wayback Machine route pulls data from public archives which are unblocked. This ensures your runs compile successfully and reliably on every single attempt.

How fresh is the pricing data?

The public archive snapshots are typically 1-7 days behind Swappa's live storefront. For price monitoring, market research, and trade-in comparison, this is fresh enough. If you require sub-second live pricing, you will need to enable live mode combined with residential proxies.

Which Swappa models and categories are supported?

All major consumer electronics classes, including iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, Samsung Galaxies, Google Pixels, smartwatches, and gaming consoles (PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch). You can filter the catalog by carrier, price, or condition grade.
