Market scan

Size up the market for a search keyword. Claude reads the top results on Amazon (22 countries), eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe's and gives the price spread, how many sellers share the top results, how deep their reviews go, and the paid-ad listings apart. As a watchlist (on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Target or Best Buy), it reports new entrants, new sellers and price-band moves. Nothing to set up beyond your Apify sign-in.

What it costs

Above $0.05 for one request, or before anything recurring, Claude gives one estimate and waits for your yes; smaller reads just run. Figures are at Bronze, Apify's paid-plan price; lower on Silver and Gold. From 7 November 2026, reads through the data providers (eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, Trustpilot, Meta and TikTok ads) cost about twice as much on Apify's free plan, and TikTok Shop product rows and store-technology lookups about one and a half times; Claude quotes both prices when they differ. Every per-result price is on the pricing page.

Limits

  • Amazon's search shows no seller, so the seller is the brand in the title
  • Searches usually take 1 to 4 minutes on Walmart, eBay, Home Depot and Lowe's, and up to about 12 minutes on Etsy, Target and Best Buy; Claude says so before starting
  • Home Depot and Lowe's give up to 24 results a keyword and are one-off scans only, not watches
  • Figures describe the top results read, not the whole marketplace

As a watch

Ask for it on a schedule and Claude saves it as a watch in your Apify account, with a maximum cost per run. It shows the monthly cost and waits for your yes before saving. The first run records a starting point; changes are reported from the next one. See how watches work.

Technical details

What it runs

Marketplace Search Scanner, Watch Digest. These are CleanPull's actors on the Apify Store: the programs that read the sites. Every run happens in your own Apify account and is billed there at the actor's Store price. A saved watch is an Apify task and schedule named cw-…, with a maximum cost per run (maxRunCostUsd) in its input.

Your data

  • eBay results carry seller usernames and Etsy results shop names
  • eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe's results come from CleanPull's marketplace data provider (Bright Data), which receives the keyword
  • A market watchlist keeps eBay sellers only as salted hashes in your Apify storage between runs, enough to spot new sellers; one-off scans keep nothing
