Ebay API – Beautiful Soup Auto converting USD to TW

BeautifulSoup has nothing to do with converting price as it only extracts price from HTML when you extract certain bits of HTML with CSS selectors.

You can change the price only by changing the eBay domain to some other one, you can also get prices from several domains at once:

# united states, hong kong, spain
domains = ["ebay.com", "ebay.com.hk", "ebay.es"]

for domain in domains:
    page = requests.get(f"https://www.{domain}/sch/i.html", params=params, headers=headers, timeout=30)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page.text, 'lxml')

Check full code in the online IDE.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests, lxml
import json

# https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/quickstart/#custom-headers
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/106.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
  }
    
params = {
    '_nkw': 'dodge viper',       # search query  
  }

domains = ["ebay.com", "ebay.com.hk", "ebay.es"]
data_price = []

for domain in domains:
    page = requests.get(f"https://www.{domain}/sch/i.html", params=params, headers=headers, timeout=30)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page.text, 'lxml')
    
    for products in soup.select(".s-item__pl-on-bottom"):
        data_price.append({"price": products.select_one(".s-item__price").text, "domain": domain})
    
print(json.dumps(data_price, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False))

Example output:

[
  {
    "price": "$109,989.00",
    "domain": "ebay.com"
  },
  {
    "price": "HK$ 3,139.79",
    "domain": "ebay.com.hk"
  },
  {
    "price": "0,93 EUR",
    "domain": "ebay.es"
  },
  other results ...
]

As an alternative, you can use Ebay Organic Results API from SerpApi. It’s a paid API with a free plan that handles blocks and parsing on their backend.

Example code:

from serpapi import EbaySearch
import json

# https://serpapi.com/ebay-domains
domains = ["ebay.com", "ebay.es", "ebay.com.hk"]
for domain in domains:
    params = {
        "api_key": "...",                 # serpapi key, https://serpapi.com/manage-api-key   
        "engine": "ebay",                 # search engine
        "ebay_domain": domain,            # ebay domain
        "_nkw": "dodge viper",            # search query
    }

    search = EbaySearch(params)           # where data extraction happens

    data = []

    results = search.get_dict()     # JSON -> Python dict

    for organic_result in results.get("organic_results", []):
        title = organic_result.get("title")
        price = organic_result.get("price")

        data.append({
          "title" : title,
          "price" : price,
          "domain": domain
        })
                    
print(json.dumps(data, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False))

Output:

[
  {
    "title": "Dodge Viper Valve Cover Gen 4 Driver side Gen V",
    "price": {
      "raw": "HK$ 2,315.60",
      "extracted": 2315.6
    },
    "domain": "ebay.com.hk"
  },
  {
    "title": "2M Borde de puerta de automóvil viaje al clima Sellado Pilar B Tira de protección contra el ruido a prueba de viento (Compatible con: Dodge Viper)",
    "price": {
      "raw": "26,02 EUR",
      "extracted": 26.02
    },
    "domain": "ebay.es"
  },
  other results ...
]
