# eBay API

> eBay search results and listing details: prices, bids, condition, sellers, shipping and item specifics.

- **Platform:** [eBay](https://lurkapi.com/docs/ebay.md) (ebay.com)
- **Web page:** https://lurkapi.com/docs/ebay

## Overview

Read eBay the way a signed-out shopper sees it on ebay.com: keyword search with eBay's own filters, and any listing's full details. Useful for price research, reseller sourcing, competitor and MAP monitoring, and catalog enrichment. Prices are in US dollars as ebay.com shows them. Sold and completed listings need a signed-in eBay account since mid-2026, so they aren't offered.
