Swappa Scraping, Fully Managed

  1. You send

    Swappa pages, filters, fields and a schedule

  2. We run the scrapers

    Built, monitored and repaired by our team

  3. You receive the data

    API, JSON feed or CSV, XLSX and JSON files

You name the products - iPhone or Pixel models, MacBooks, consoles or whole categories - and the carriers, storage sizes and conditions that matter; we build the crawlers, run them and fix them when Swappa reshapes a page. Anti-bot handling, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA handling and rendering come with the service.

Each run is normalized before delivery: storage as a number with its unit, carrier names on one list, prices as numbers in USD, and every row tied to its listing code and product slug. Runs are one-off or scheduled daily, weekly or on demand, and work starts with a free assessment of your product list and a sample.

Swappa Listings: Fields We Extract

Swappa sells one physical device per listing, and the card already names that device precisely. Each listing has a code that starts with L, such as LALT56305, and lives at /listing/view/ plus that code; the product it belongs to has a slug, apple-iphone-15-pro, shared by its buy, listings, prices and guide pages.

  • Listing identitylisting code, URL, product slug and name, brand, category, the seller's headline and description, the number of photos and their addresses.
  • Devicecarrier (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Unlocked, Unlocked Non-US and the smaller networks), storage, color, model number such as A2848, and for laptops the chip and memory.
  • ConditionNew, Mint, Good or Fair, the battery health percentage on phones, and whether the charger is included. Every device sold on Swappa must be fully functional whatever its cosmetic grade, so the grade describes wear, not faults.
  • Price and paymentthe asking price in USD, the Featured star, and whether the seller takes PayPal or card payments.
  • Sellerfor business sellers the business name and page, star rating, number of ratings and the city the device ships from; badges such as Trusted, Power, Enterprise, Verified, Phonecheck and the international shipping partners.
  • Listing metadatastatus (Approved or Sold), Date Created, Date Updated, Date Expires and Date Closed, plus the shipping promise and the returns note.

Private sellers appear under a first name and an initial. That name stays out of the dataset by default; their seller ratings count and ships-from city remain.

Swappa Price Tracker, Price Trends and Sold Listings

Swappa Price Tracker, Price Trends and Sold Listings

Swappa publishes its own market summary for every product, and it is worth collecting as a dataset in its own right - in effect a price guide per model. The prices page shows a starting price and an average price, then a table with one row per carrier and storage pair: live listings, average price and a Trade-In value. Below it sit monthly price trends per storage size and a storage table that sets the average list price against the average sale price, the gap between what sellers ask and what buyers paid.

  • Listings coveragea model's listings page shows 50 cards at a time and filters by condition, carrier, color, storage and model number, with toggles for One-Year Warranty, PhoneCheck Certified, International Shipping and Exclude Businesses, so a crawl can be cut to the exact slice you price.
  • Sold listingsa sold listing keeps its page with the Sold status, its price and the Date Closed, which dates the sale.
  • Historyrepeated runs keyed on the listing code record price edits, time to sale and listings that reach Date Expires unsold.

Product reviews add a review count and star average per model.

Swappa, run by Swappa, LLC, is a US marketplace where people and businesses sell used and refurbished tech straight to buyers. Apple devices and iPhones lead the menu, and the shop also covers phones, laptops and MacBooks, computers, watches and wearables, tablets and iPads, gaming consoles, audio and AirPods, drones, home tech, cameras and lenses, and fitness and cycling gear.

The catalog is organized around products rather than listings. Each model gets a family of pages under one slug: /buy for the overview with a starting price per carrier, /listings for the live cards, /prices for the market summary and /guide for the buyer's guide, plus comparison pages against similar models. Listings carry an Approved status, the site promises Verified Listings and No Junk, No Jerks, and every device has to work fully whatever it looks like.

Shipping is free to the buyer, payment runs through PayPal or by card where the seller accepts it, and a separate Trade-In service quotes its own value for each configuration. Business sellers with their own pages list beside private owners, and a Spanish version of the site runs alongside the English one.

Why Scrape Swappa Data

Swappa prices are set by people selling one device each, yet they sit in a strict grid of model, carrier, storage and condition. That grid makes the numbers comparable from one listing to the next.

  • Trade-in and buyback pricingThe average sale price per carrier and storage, next to Swappa's own Trade-In figure, shows the spread a buyback program or refurbisher works with.
  • Depreciation curvesMonthly trends per storage size track how fast an iPhone or a MacBook loses value after its successor ships.
  • The price of a carrier lockCarrier-locked phones and phones free of any carrier sit side by side, so the discount for an AT&T or Verizon lock becomes a number.
  • Battery and grade effectsBattery health and the four grades on every card show how much a worn battery or a Fair grade takes off the price.
  • Reseller benchmarkingBusiness sellers' prices, ratings and badges such as Phonecheck or the one-year warranty show how professional sellers position against private ones, and how iPhone prices differ between them.

About ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt is a managed data collection service: we build and run the crawlers, you get the tables. Device marketplaces like Swappa suit that model, because their value lies in exact attributes - carrier, storage, battery health - and in dates, and both have to survive from one run to the next. Every dataset ships with field documentation, private sellers' names are left out by default and personal data is handled under GDPR. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

FAQ

Still unsure? Write to info@scrapeit.io

Do you offer a Swappa API for listing and price data?

Yes. The ScrapeIt Swappa API serves listing code, carrier, storage, condition, battery health, asking price and Date Closed as JSON through an endpoint we host, updated on the schedule you choose. You can take the same rows as CSV or XLSX files, through a JSON feed, or loaded into your own database.

Is it legal to scrape Swappa?

Yes. Listings, sold listing pages, prices pages and business seller ratings are shown to every visitor without an account. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on Swappa - and we collect it legally, keeping private sellers' names out by default.

Can you build a Swappa price history per carrier and storage?

Yes. Swappa's prices page already plots a monthly trend per storage size; we add our own history from repeated runs, stored per listing code and grouped by product, carrier, storage and condition. You see both the market average and the individual listings that moved it.

Do you capture Swappa sold listings and sale dates?

Yes. A sold listing keeps its code, the Sold status, its price and its Date Closed, and the storage table on the prices page adds the average sale price for each storage size. Together they give sale-level and model-level rows from one project.

Do Swappa listings expire, and how often should we refresh?

Yes. Each listing shows a Date Expires in its metadata, next to Date Created and Date Updated, so every unsold listing has a known end date. For pricing work a daily run is usual: it catches price edits, sales and expiries before the card leaves the listings page.
