# eBay Search API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/ebay/search) > Returns eBay listings matching a keyword, 60 per page on an active search, each with its item id, title, price, original price where the listing is discounted, currency, condition, image, seller handle, seller feedback percentage and count, units sold, buying format, and the listing URL. completed_items returns ended listings, and free_shipping restricts results to listings with free delivery. sold_items is temporarily rejected before billing because the upstream now requires a private eBay session cookie, which SocialCrawl does not accept or forward. Feed a returned item id into GET /v1/ebay/product for the full listing including seller reputation depth. When crawling, note that the result total eBay reports is an estimate that changes between pages, so it is not returned here: paginate until a page comes back empty. TL;DR: `GET /v1/ebay/search` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup. ## Parameters | Parameter | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `query` | yes | Free-text listing search, for example airpods pro or vintage seiko. | | `country` | no | eBay marketplace as a two-letter country code: US (ebay.com, default), GB, AU, CA, DE, FR, IT, ES, IE, AT, CH, NL, BE, PL, SG, MY, PH, HK, or MX. The marketplace sets the listing pool, language, and currency. (US \| GB \| AU \| CA \| DE \| FR \| IT \| ES \| IE \| AT \| CH \| NL \| BE \| PL \| SG \| MY \| PH \| HK \| MX) | | `page` | no | Page number, starting at 1. Prefer the universal cursor parameter. | | `sort_by` | no | Result ordering: best_match (default), price_low, price_high, newly_listed, or ending_soonest. (best_match \| price_low \| price_high \| newly_listed \| ending_soonest) | | `condition` | no | Restrict to one item condition: new, refurbished, or used. (new \| refurbished \| used) | | `buying_format` | no | Restrict to one sale type: auction, buy_it_now, or accepts_offers. (auction \| buy_it_now \| accepts_offers) | | `show_only` | no | Restrict results with completed_items or free_shipping; combine supported values with a comma. sold_items is temporarily unavailable and is rejected before billing because the upstream requires a private eBay session cookie. SocialCrawl does not accept or forward session cookies. | | `min_price` | no | Lowest price to include. Applied by eBay and approximate, so filter on product.price.current if you need a hard bound. | | `max_price` | no | Highest price to include. Applied by eBay and approximate, so filter on product.price.current if you need a hard bound. | | `aspects` | no | Category-specific item aspect filter taken from a previous response, for example Brand:Apple. | | `max_pages` | no | 1 to 50 (default 1, or 50 when `max_items` or `max_credits` is sent). Walk up to this many pages in one call and return the rows from all of them. Each page walked is billed exactly as one call to this endpoint (a cached page is free) and counts against your rate limit; its charge and any refund are recorded under the page's own request id, listed in `data.walk.request_ids`. The walk stops early at the last page, or when the request's time budget runs low; `data.walk.stopped` says why (`end`, `max_pages`, `max_items`, `max_credits`, `time_budget`, `page_error`) and `pagination.next_cursor` continues from where it stopped. | | `max_items` | no | 1 to 5000. Get more in one call: keep walking pages until the response holds at least this many rows, then stop with `data.walk.stopped: "max_items"`. The last page is returned whole (it was billed), so `data.items` can hold up to one page more than this, and `pagination.next_cursor` resumes right after it without skipping a row. Walks up to 50 pages unless `max_pages` says fewer; each page is billed as one call (a cached page is free). Add `max_credits` to cap the spend. A long walk can stop on the time budget first (`"time_budget"`): send the returned cursor with the same params to continue. | | `max_credits` | no | 1 to 100000. The most this call may spend, across every page it walks. A page starts only while the credits already spent plus that page's price (or, when higher, the most any page of this walk has cost) still fit, so the call never goes past it; the walk then stops with `data.walk.stopped: "max_credits"` and the cursor to resume. Sent alone, it walks as far as the budget goes (up to 50 pages). A value below the price of one page is a free 400 whose `error.details.page_credits` names that price. Credits a row join (`include=`) adds are known only once a page has run, so page 1 is checked against its own price. | ## Code example ```bash curl -G "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/ebay/search" \ --data-urlencode "query=airpods pro" \ -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ## FAQ ### How many listings come back per call? Sixty, the densest listing page in this API, which makes it the cheapest way to scan a marketplace at depth. ### Can I filter by item condition? Yes: new, opened box, refurbished or used. You can also restrict to auction, buy it now or accepts offers with the buying format filter. ### Do search rows include the seller? Yes, with the seller handle, feedback percentage and count, and units sold, so you can rank results by seller quality before pulling any detail. ### Is the result total returned? No. eBay's total is an estimate that more than halved between consecutive pages when measured, so publishing it would mislead. Paginate until a page is empty. ### How do I sort eBay search results? By best match, price low to high, price high to low, newly listed or ending soonest. Best match is the default.
