Swappa is one of the most trusted peer-to-peer marketplaces for used consumer electronics in the United States. This actor lets you extract individual for-sale listings directly from Swappa - real prices from real sellers - for any device you search for.

Each record includes the listing image, device title, brand, model, asking price, condition rating, storage capacity, color, carrier compatibility, seller name, seller feedback count, and seller location.

Coverage

Swappa hosts tens of thousands of active listings across cell phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches, gaming consoles, cameras, and more. This scraper accesses all categories and returns up to 1,000,000 listings per run for paid users.

📋 What the Swappa Scraper does

• Searches Swappa by keyword (e.g. "iphone 13", "macbook pro", "ps5")
• Browses by category (Cell Phones, Laptops, Tablets, etc.)
• Filters by condition (Mint, Good, Fair)
• Extracts all listing fields: price, condition, storage, color, carrier, seller info, location
• Paginates through all results automatically
• Exports data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML

💡 Why it matters: Swappa is the go-to marketplace for vetted used devices. Unlike eBay, every listing is reviewed before going live. This makes Swappa price data uniquely reliable for market research and price comparison.
