Connect on claude.ai in a browser first (the iPhone app can't add it yet).
- Name it Etsy Pulse and paste the link as the server URL.
- Press Add, then Connect, and sign in with Apify.
- In Claude: Customize → Connectors → Etsy Pulse → set tools to Always allow. One question uses 3 tools (run, check status, read results), so otherwise Claude stops to ask 3 times.
Another AI app? Open Apify's setup page with our tools already picked. We list an app here only after we've run a real question through it.
What you can do
Six things to ask once you're connected. Copy a prompt, swap in your own niche. Keep the first question small (one keyword, top 5 or 10) so it finishes in about 30 seconds; bigger asks take longer.
Top sellers
Start here: one keyword, done in about 30 seconds.
Top 5 ceramic mugs on Etsy: who sells them, what they charge, and which have a Bestseller badge?
Price-check a listing
See where your price sits against the top 10.
I sell a personalized pet toy basket for $18. Pull the top 10 for “pet toy basket” and tell me where my price sits.
Ads vs Bestsellers
Who's paying to be there, and who earned it.
For “ceramic mug”, which of the top 10 are paid ads and which have a Bestseller badge or Star Seller? What do the badge winners have in common?
Titles and tags
Write like the listings that rank.
Read the titles of the top 10 “scarf pin brooch” listings and write 3 title options and 13 tag ideas in the same style for mine.
Check one shop
A quick look at one rival.
Look up the Etsy shop [shop name]: total sales on its shop page, reviews, and how fast it's selling.
Charts and plans
Turn answers into something you can use.
Put that in a report: a price chart, the top shops, and a one-page plan for my first 10 listings.

Source: publicrecords Etsy Search Scraper, Apify run 5jf38ytVjcPMi7nm3 (build 0.2.10), “ceramic mug”, 20 listings, Oct 7, 2026. Answers in your chat will be worded by your AI and use the data from your own run.
How it works, and what it costs
Apify is the platform our tools run on. The link is Apify's MCP server with our two Etsy tools picked. You sign in with your own Apify account: free to create, and the free plan includes $5 of usage a month.
Etsy Search: From 13¢ for 1 keyword (top 20 listings). $6 per 1,000 listings + 0.5¢ per run. If Etsy blocks a search, you get the most recent cached results, clearly dated, at the same rate; if there's nothing cached, you pay nothing. Apify usage included. On default settings one search returns the top 20 listings in total, even for several keywords; your AI can ask for more at the same rate. Shop Sales Tracker: $0.005 per run + $0.003 per shop ($3 per 1,000 shops), plus Apify platform usage when your AI calls it (Apify bills usage for its always-on Standby mode, which AI apps use).
Every run and its results stay in your Apify account. Sign-in happens on Apify's own screen; we never see your password. Remove access any time in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.
