Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Swappa Scraper Scrape Swappa.com marketplace listings for used phones, laptops, tablets, and tech at scale. Extract prices, conditions, carrier details, storage specs, battery health, and seller info — perfect for resellers, deal hunters, and market researchers. ### What data can you get? #### Search mode (fast) - Listing code and title - Price - Condition (Mint, Good, Fair) - Carrier (Unlocked, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.) - Storage capacity - Color - Product image - Listing URL #### Detail mode (full data) All of the above, plus: - Full description - Brand and GTIN/UPC - Seller name and profile link - Battery health percentage - Shipping cost - Availability status - Color details ### How to use 1. Enter one or more **search queries** (e.g., "iPhone 15", "MacBook Pro", "Galaxy S24") 2. Optionally filter by **carrier** or **storage capacity** 3. Choose a **sort order** if needed 4. Toggle **Scrape Full Details** for complete listing data (slower but richer) 5. Run the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel ### Example output ```json { "listingCode": "LZFL18929", "title": "Good Apple iPhone 15 - AT&T, 128 GB, Black, A2846", "price": 328, "condition": "Good", "carrier": "AT&T", "storage": "128 GB", "color": "Black", "productSlug": "apple-iphone-15", "description": "iPhone 15 in good condition, minor scratches on screen...", "sellerName": "TechDeals", "batteryHealth": 87, "shippingPrice": 0, "url": "https://swappa.com/listing/view/LZFL18929", "scrapedAt": "2026-03-17T06:30:00.000Z" } ```` ### Use cases - **Resellers**: Find underpriced devices to flip on other marketplaces - **Price monitoring**: Track used device prices by carrier, storage, and condition - **Market research**: Analyze pricing trends for specific phone models - **Deal alerts**: Combine with Apify schedules to get notified of price drops - **Trade-in comparison**: Compare Swappa prices vs trade-in offers - **Data analysis**: Export to CSV/Excel for spreadsheet analysis ### Input options | Parameter | Type | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | `searchQueries` | string\[] | Search terms (required) | | `carrier` | string | Filter: unlocked, att, t-mobile, verizon, etc. | | `storage` | string | Filter: 64gb, 128gb, 256gb, 512gb, 1tb | | `maxListings` | integer | Max results per query (default: 100, 0 = unlimited) | | `sortBy` | string | Sort: price\_asc, price\_desc, newest | | `scrapeDetails` | boolean | Get full listing details (default: false) | ### Tips - **Search mode** is ~10x faster than detail mode. Use it for bulk price monitoring. - **Detail mode** gives you battery health, seller info, and descriptions. - Swappa organizes listings by **product type** — your search query finds matching products, then all listings for each product are scraped. - **Residential proxy recommended** — Swappa blocks datacenter IPs. Use Apify Proxy with residential group for best results. - Use **Apify Schedules** to run daily for automated price tracking. - Combine with **Apify integrations** (Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier) for automated workflows. ### Limitations - Only scrapes publicly available listing data - Swappa blocks datacenter IPs — residential proxy is recommended for reliable results - Swappa organizes by product type, so very broad queries may find many product categories - Seller contact info is not available through public pages - Battery health is only available in detail mode ### Related Scrapers More marketplace scrapers and data tools by [lulzasaur](https://apify.com/lulzasaur): - [AbeBooks Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/abebooks-scraper) — Rare and used books - [Bonanza Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/bonanza-scraper) — Online marketplace listings - [Contractor License Verifier](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/contractor-license-scraper) — Multi-state license verification - [Craigslist Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/craigslist-scraper) — Classifieds and for-sale posts - [Goodreads Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/goodreads-scraper) — Book ratings and reviews - [Grailed Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/grailed-scraper) — Luxury fashion resale - [Houzz Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/houzz-scraper) — Home improvement professionals - [IMDb Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/imdb-scraper) — Movie and TV show data - [Nurse License Verifier](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/nurse-license-scraper) — State nursing board verification - [OfferUp Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/offerup-scraper) — Local marketplace listings - [Poshmark Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/poshmark-scraper) — Fashion resale marketplace - [PSA Population Report](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/psa-pop-scraper) — Card grading data - [Redfin Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/redfin-scraper) — Real estate listings and prices - [Reverb Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/reverb-scraper) — Music gear marketplace - [StubHub Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/stubhub-scraper) — Event ticket prices - [TCGPlayer Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/tcgplayer-scraper) — Trading card prices - [ThriftBooks Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/thriftbooks-scraper) — Used book prices - [Thumbtack Scraper](https://apify.com/lulzasaur/thumbtack-scraper) — Local service professionals # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): List of search terms to scrape (e.g., 'iPhone 15', 'MacBook Pro', 'Samsung Galaxy S24').
