Soldgraph vs eBay's sold listings search. By hand, or as data.
eBay's Sold items filter shows sold prices one search at a time, and since July 2026 it needs you signed in. Soldgraph returns the same sold listings as data, with the median price worked out, and its free lookup needs no sign-in.

The short answer. It depends on the job.
Soldgraph is the better way to check eBay sold prices once you price more than a few items, or want the numbers in a sheet, app or AI assistant. It returns the sales as data with the median, low and high price, up to 200 rows per search in 8 eBay countries, and prices whole lists in one batch. eBay's own Sold items filter is fine for an occasional check by hand.

One prompt gives your assistant the endpoint, the sign-in header and how to wait for a result, so its first script works.
I'm building with the Soldgraph API. It returns sold and for-sale listings from eBay and other resale marketplaces. Read the docs first: https://soldgraph.com/llms.txt OpenAPI spec: https://soldgraph.com/openapi.json Rules for the code you write: - Base URL: https://api.soldgraph.com/v1 - Auth: send the header "Authorization: Bearer <key>". Read the key from the SOLDGRAPH_KEY environment variable. Never put it in browser code. - eBay sold prices: GET /ebay/sold?q=<search words>. Add count=200 for up to 200 rows. - A search often answers 202 with status "pending" and a poll_url. Request https://api.soldgraph.com plus poll_url with ?wait=20 and the same header, until status is "complete" or "failed". - Read result.summary for the median, low and high price. The rows are in result.data, each with title, displayed_price, sold_date and link. - Each completed search uses one request. The free plan has 100 a month, so save results while testing instead of repeating a search. Start with a short script that prints the median sold price for "nintendo switch oled". Then ask me what I want to build.
Search for the item, then turn on the Sold items filter, under Show only on desktop or Filter on the app. Since July 2026, eBay asks you to sign in first.
