Search eBay listings - find items, auctions, deals, and compare prices

SKILL.md covers Setup, When to Use, How It Works and Usage, plus 4 more sections
Calls curl, python3 and npx; reaches api.gooseworks.ai and api.orth.sh; needs GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

What it does

Ebay Search is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Search eBay listings - find items, auctions, deals, and compare prices

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/ebay-search”

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js
A credential in GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
- python3
- npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- api.gooseworks.ai
- api.orth.sh
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ebay Search loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 302 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

  -d '{"api":"searchapi","path":"/api/v1/search","query":{"engine":"ebay_search","q":"vintage watch"}}'

  -d '{"api":"searchapi","path":"/api/v1/search","query":{"engine":"ebay_search","q":"retro gaming console"}}'

User: "Find rare vinyl records"

bash

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"searchapi","path":"/api/v1/search","query":{"engine":"ebay_search","q":"rare vinyl records"}}'

Error Handling

400 - Invalid engine name or missing q parameter
401 - Invalid API key
429 - Rate limit — wait and retry
Empty organic_results means no listings found — try broader terms
Use separate -q flags if & in query string causes issues: -q 'engine=ebay_search' -q 'q=vintage watch'
