Scrape Etsy product listings

Search Etsy for a keyword and extract product titles, prices, and links from the results page.

Prerequisites

• A Browserless API token from your account dashboard

Steps

AI Agent

Use the Browserless MCP server to scrape product listings from Etsy from any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, etc.).

1. Connect the MCP server

Send this prompt to your AI agent to install the Browserless MCP server:

Go to https://github.com/browserless/browserless-mcp/blob/main/install.md
and follow the instructions to install the Browserless MCP server
for my client.

2. Scrape Etsy

Use browserless_smartscraper. Etsy has bot detection and smartscraper handles it automatically.

Use the browserless_smartscraper tool to scrape product listings
from https://www.etsy.com/search?q=handmade+jewelry
and return the results as markdown

REST API

Use the /scrape REST endpoint to extract product listing data from Etsy search results.

note

Etsy uses bot detection and loads content dynamically. The /scrape endpoint may return incomplete results. For more reliable extraction, use the BQL tab with stealth mode and residential proxies.

1. Send the request

curl -X POST \
  "https://production-sfo.browserless.io/scrape?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://www.etsy.com/search?q=candles",

Each selector returns an array of matched elements with text, HTML, and position data:

      "results": [
        {

          "width": 280
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "selector": ".v2-listing-card .currency-value",
      "results": [
        {
          "text": "24.99",
          "html": "24.99",

1. Write the mutation

Navigate to Etsy, search for a keyword, then use mapSelector to extract structured data from each product card:

mutation ScrapeEtsy {
  goto(url: "https://www.etsy.com", waitUntil: domContentLoaded) {
    status
  }

  fillSearch: type(
    selector: "input#global-enhancements-search-query"
    text: "candles"
  ) {
    time
  }

  submitSearch: click(selector: "button.wt-input-btn-group__btn") {
    time
  }

  waitForTimeout(time: 3000) {
    time
  }

  listings: mapSelector(selector: ".v2-listing-card") {
    title: mapSelector(selector: "h3", wait: true) {
      innerText
    }
    price: mapSelector(selector: ".currency-value", wait: true) {
      innerText
    }
    link: mapSelector(selector: "a.listing-link") {
      href: attribute(name: "href") {
        value
      }
    }
  }
}
