The past week at SerpApi brought new APIs, features, expanded scraping capabilities, steady improvements to existing APIs, and a range of important bug fixes.

⭐️ Top Updates

Introducing the new eBay Seller API

Our new eBay Seller API scrapes any eBay seller's page by seller_id. You get the seller's profile, including name, follower count, positive feedback percentage, items sold, and total listings. You also get the seller's product listings with prices, original prices, and stock signals. When the seller shows them, the API also returns featured categories, the "About" section, and feedback.

Set type to store for eBay Stores or user for individual seller profiles. Each product includes a serpapi_link to the eBay Product API, and the eBay Product API's seller_results now links back to the eBay Seller API. That lets you move from a listing to its seller's full catalog and back again.

This is useful for marketplace intelligence, competitor catalog tracking, and brand-protection work. For those use cases, you need to see everything a seller sells, not just one listing. Details
