### Prompt Example

<mark style="background-color:blue;">Get product data information from eBay</mark>

*- "I need product information on the top 3 eBay (in US) results for 2nd hand 19' rims."*

#### Response

Cline executed an eBay search through ScrperAPI by recognizing the request and invoking ScraperAPI's `eBay Search SDE` to retrieve product listings from eBay (United States). It then followed up by calling ScraperAPI's `eBay Product SDE` 3 times, to fetch detailed data for the top 3 products returned in the search results. ScraperAPI took care of the scraping workflow, so no extra user input or prompt changes were necessary. After collecting the search and product-level data, Cline summarized the results for all 3 product listings, showing price, seller details, condition, shipping and key specs.
