How fast is the Etsy API?

Parseium's Etsy scraper API delivers responses in milliseconds to seconds, depending on your configuration.

Response times

Parse endpoint (you provide HTML)

• Typical: 100-500ms
• Use case: When you already have the HTML and just need extraction

Scrape endpoint (we fetch for you)

• Simple pages: 1-3 seconds
• JavaScript-heavy pages: 2-5 seconds
• With wait conditions: 3-10 seconds (configurable)

Etsy pages typically require JavaScript rendering, so expect 2-5 second response times for most scrape requests.

Performance features

Always-warm browsers

Unlike cold-start services, our browsers are pre-warmed and ready to go:

• No 10-30 second browser startup delays
• Consistent, predictable response times
• Sub-second parsing once HTML is loaded

Managed proxies included

• Automatic proxy rotation
• High-quality residential proxies available
• No need to maintain your own proxy infrastructure

Optimization tips

To get the fastest possible responses:

1. Use parse endpoint: If you can fetch HTML yourself, parsing is near-instant
2. Minimize wait times: Only wait as long as necessary for content to load
3. Use domcontentloaded: Faster than networkidle for most pages
4. Cache when possible: Store extracted data and refresh only when needed

Timeout limits

• Scrape endpoint: 120 second timeout
• Parse endpoint: 60 second timeout

Most Etsy requests complete well within these limits.
