Turn eBay into a REST + MCP endpoint

Writ turns the eBay actions you already do in a browser into a callable REST endpoint your software (and your AI agents) can call.

curl -X POST https://api.usewrit.app/v1/ebay/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wt_8f2c...a91" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "input": { "query": "your search term" } }'

Record the eBay task once (search a keyword, then open a listing) and call it as a REST endpoint and an MCP tool. No backend project, no waiting on eBay to ship an API.

1. 1
   Record the eBay task once

   Open the recorder and search a keyword on eBay in a real browser. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a reusable workflow.

2. 2
   Publish it as an endpoint

   One click turns the workflow into a callable REST endpoint at /v1/ebay/run and a matching MCP tool. Inputs become a typed schema.

3. 3
   Call it from anything

   Call eBay from your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent. Run it on your own machine for free, or on metered cloud.

Read the REST API docs, see what's possible on workflows, or search for another site. Free to start. See pricing.

eBay has an API, but they require app registration and approval, and many auction and storefront screens are easier to reach through the browser.

Writ closes that gap. Record the eBay task once (or describe it to an AI session) and publish it as a REST endpoint at /v1/ebay/run and a matching MCP tool. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Each operation below is a real eBay action recorded into a workflow and exposed as a typed endpoint.

Returns structured fields such as item price, bid count, time left, seller rating: typed JSON, not raw page text.

POST your inputs, get structured output. Authenticate every call with a scoped wt_ key.

curl -X POST https://api.usewrit.app/v1/ebay/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wt_8f2c...a91" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "input": { "query": "your search term" } }'

import requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.usewrit.app/v1/ebay/run",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer wt_8f2c...a91"},
    json={"input": {"query": "your search term"}},
)
print(r.json()["output"])

{
  "run_id": "run_ebay_7b21",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "output": {
    "item_price": "...",
    "bid_count": "...",
    "time_left": "..."
  }
}

The reason eBay has no usable API is the same reason it's hard to automate. Writ handles it.

Writ signs into your own eBay account through a Persona and runs inside that authenticated session for actions the API does not cover cleanly.

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same callable workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows.

Monitor eBay for price drop, new listing for a query, auction ending soon and fire this endpoint the instant something changes.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes an automation trigger that runs your workflow in seconds. Monitor eBay ▸
