## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

# README

## OfferUp Scraper

### 🤖 What does OfferUp Scraper do?

OfferUp Scraper extracts marketplace listings from [offerup.com](https://offerup.com) so you can analyze local supply, monitor prices, or generate leads.
It supports keyword search around a U.S. ZIP code and (optionally) enriches each result with a full **details** payload.

What you can do with it:

- 🔎 Track prices for items like phones, consoles, tools, furniture, etc.
- 📈 Build time-series dashboards for local market trends
- 🛍️ Generate leads for reselling or sourcing
- 🔔 Watch new listings for specific keywords

### 🚀 How to run

1. **Add the actor** to your Apify account.
2. **Configure inputs** (query, ZIP code, etc.).
3. **Run the actor**.
4. **Get results** from the **Dataset** tab (JSON, CSV, API).

### 💳 Cost & plans

You can try it on the Apify **Free plan** with monthly free credits. For heavier workloads, consider upgrading your plan on Apify for higher resource limits.

### 📝 Input Parameters

#### Example input

```json
{
  "maxItems": 50,
  "query": "playstation",
  "zipCode": "94102",
  "category": "1.5",
  "minPrice": 50,
  "maxPrice": 500,
  "conditions": ["new", "used"],
  "fetchDetails": true
}
```

### 📊 Output

The actor returns an array of listing objects. By default (without details), each item includes key marketplace fields such as `listingId`, `title`, `price`, `locationName`, `formattedPrice`, `image`, and `url`.

If `fetchDetails: true`, each item additionally contains a `_details` object with deeper listing, seller, photos, location, category, fulfillment, and status info.

#### Quick schema reference

**Top-level fields** (always present):

- `listingId`, `title`, `price`, `formattedPrice`
- `locationName`
- `image.{url,width,height}`
- `flags[]` (e.g., `LOCAL_PICKUP` or `SHOW_SHIPPING_ICON`)
- `url`

**When `fetchDetails: true`** (selected highlights under `_details`):

- `condition`, `conditionDisplayText`, `postDate`
- `locationDetails.{latitude,longitude,zipcode,locationName}`
- `owner.profile.{name,lastActive,ratingSummary}`
- `photos[].detailFull.url`
- `listingCategory.categoryV2.{l1Name,l2Name}`
- `fulfillmentDetails.{localPickupEnabled,shippingEnabled}`
- Various status flags (e.g., `isSold`, `isUnlisted`, …) and price info

### 🧠 Tips & best practices

- ⏱️ **Control scope** with `maxItems` to manage run time and cost.
- 🧩 Only enable **`fetchDetails`** when you need granular data (it adds **one extra request per item**).
- 📍 Use a **specific ZIP code** close to your market of interest to improve relevance.
- 🔁 Schedule frequent, smaller runs to track price changes and new listings.

### ⚠️ Notes & limitations

- Results are influenced by OfferUp’s ranking and proximity to the provided ZIP code.
- Data fields may change over time as OfferUp updates its platform.
- Images are returned via OfferUp CDN links; availability can change.

### 📥 Exporting data

From the **Dataset** tab, export your results to **JSON** or **CSV**. You can also query datasets via the Apify API for automation.

### ⚖️ Legal

Before scraping, review OfferUp’s Terms of Service and applicable laws (e.g., privacy regulations). Use this actor responsibly and only for legitimate purposes. If unsure, consult your legal advisor.

### 🆘 Support

If you have questions, feature requests, or need a custom tweak (new filters, fields, or integrations), open an issue or reach out. Happy scraping!

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "query": "iphone",
    "zipCode": "10001"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("igolaizola/offerup-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
