They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — 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 ### 🔍 What does Swappa Scraper do?

### ✨ 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. **Disclaimer:** This Actor accesses public Internet Archive data only.
