Mercari US Sold Listings Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

Mercari US (mercari.com) doesn't publish a clean "sold comps" view — resellers digging for real recent sale prices are stuck scrolling active listings. This Actor reads Mercari's own server-rendered category pages (the same pages Google indexes, not a private reverse-engineered endpoint) with a first-class sold / completed-listing filter and an optional sold-within-days window, so arbitrageurs and flippers get exactly the comps they need without wading through active inventory.

Give it a keyword — optionally a category, a condition, a price band, and a "sold within the last N days" window — and it hands back one clean row per matching item: price, condition, brand, category, seller, photos, and (optionally) exact listing/sold dates and seller rating.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi impersonates real Chrome / Firefox TLS handshakes so Mercari sees a browser, not Python.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on rate-limits and transient errors — up to 5 attempts, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Rate-limit-aware pacing — when the target pushes back, we slow down instead of getting banned.
• 🌐 Proxy on standby — proxyConfiguration is available as an escape hatch, ready to flip on if Mercari tightens later, with no code changes on your end.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable item IDs, deduplicated even when a keyword fans out across departments.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge (beyond the small actor-start warm-up fee).

Use cases

• Reseller-arbitrage comps — check what an item actually sold for recently before buying stock to flip.
• Liquidation / dropship pricing — price a pallet or lot against real completed Mercari sales, not asking prices.
• Demand tracking — watch how fast a keyword's listings move from active to sold within a rolling window.
• Sourcing research — see which condition and price bands are actually selling versus sitting active.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.
