eBay Browse API vs Soldgraph
The eBay Browse API only returns active listings. Soldgraph returns eBay sold and active listings, plus Poshmark, Mercari and Depop.
Last updated
The eBay Browse API can't return sold listings. Soldgraph can. Browse is eBay's public search API, and it only covers items for sale now. Soldgraph returns both sold listings and active listings for eBay US.

How do I get sold items from the eBay API? eBay's only sold-items API is Marketplace Insights, which isn't open to new users. See Marketplace Insights API alternative.
Does the Browse API have a sold filter? No. It searches items that are for sale now. The old sold search, findCompletedItems, was retired with the Finding API. See findCompletedItems replacement.
