I Compared Best Vinted Bots and Built an AI Agent to Replace Them

The deadline was close, and I still had no idea what to write.

So, instead of doing keyword research like a responsible adult, I opened Reddit.

At first, I laughed. But then I kept thinking about it.

The truth is: most Vinted bots suck. They’re hard to use, expensive, or only solve one part of the problem.

So I tested the most popular Vinted bots, and figured out which ones are actually good.

And then, I ended up building my own AI agent that replaces them all.

Let me share the whole experience with you.

But first, what the hell is a Vinted bot?

What is a Vinted bot?

If you're a reseller, collector, or just glued to Vinted, bots save you hours.

They help you:

1. Spot deals faster than other users
2. List or relist without lifting a finger
3. Track your competition
4. Respond faster, buy faster, sell faster

But the real problem is – how to find the best Vinted bot that fits your needs?

Well, I did the hard work for you.

Best Vinted bots that actually work

That Reddit post got me curious.

But let’s be honest—I’m not about to write a whole blog just to help one confused Reddit user automate their vintage hoodie hustle.

So I dug deeper.

I started looking at common pain points Vinted resellers face when it comes to automation.

Turns out, the struggle is real. There aren’t many Vinted bots out there.

The really technical folks just build their own solutions.

The “semi-technical” ones copy-paste scripts from GitHub and hope they don’t brick their laptops.

And the rest?

They spend way too much money on janky tools that don’t solve the whole problem.

Even finding the right tools is still a huge challenge.

So I decided to test every Vinted automation tool I could find. I evaluated them based on:

1. How well they solve a specific use case
2. Affordability
3. Speed
4. Features

And here’s the list.

Best Vinted product scraping bot

Lobstr.io 👑

Lobstr.io is a no-code SaaS tool built to make web scraping and automation simple, even for non-tech users.

It includes a Vinted product scraper that actually works, unlike most of the tools I tested.

Features

1. Scrapes all products from Vinted search or category pages
2. Accepts all product filters (brand, size, price, etc.)
3. Works across all 18 Vinted country domains
4. Offers schedule feature to collect new listings automatically
5. Exports results directly to Google Sheets or Amazon S3
6. Scrapes fast—like blink-and-you-missed-it fast
7. Collects all the details: title, brand, price, seller info, view count, favorite count
8. Sends email notifications
9. Provides an API for plugging into your own setup

Pricing

1. Free 10k listings per month
2. €5 per 100k listings
3. €2.5 per 100k listings at scale

Other Vinted product scraping bots

Lobstr.io is our own product—so naturally, I was skeptical. I mean, of course we think it’s great.

But that’s like a chef saying their soup is the best one on the menu.

So I did the annoying but necessary thing: I tested every other Vinted scraper I could find.

There aren’t many no-code Vinted scrapers out there—but I still gave the top contenders a shot.

1. Apify
2. Bright Data
3. ResellSpotter

Apify

Apify disappointed me on all fronts. The UI felt like it was designed by someone who hates humans. Too complicated for a non-nerd.

The data output was limited, and it struggled with anything beyond basic scraping.

Also: it’s not cheap. You pay a monthly rental + usage fee 😭

Unless your goal is to overpay for frustration, I’d pass.

Bright data

Bright Data uses a general-purpose AI scraper that tries to guess its way through websites.

There’s no Vinted-specific setup, it’s glitchy, and the monitoring is nonexistent.

Also: the pricing feels like it was invented by someone who thinks your wallet is a joke.

ResellSpotter

ResellSpotter isn't really a bot. It’s a glorified Discord assistant.

You get listings fed to you, but with zero control and painfully slow updates.

So yeah—I went in hoping someone would beat us, just for the drama. They didn’t.

But what about autobuy bots? None of these bots offer auto-buying.

Best Vinted reselling bots

Next, I looked for bots made for resellers.

I wanted tools that help you buy items faster, list them quicker, and automate the boring stuff.

In short, Vinted bots that help you grow your reselling business without doing everything by hand.

Most of the tools I found were either too complicated or didn’t really do the full job.

A lot of them were built by developers, for developers. Not great if you don’t know how to code.

But I did find 2 bots that are actually useful and easy to work with:

1. Souk – great for autobuy and autocop
2. Monitorius – useful for automating reseller tasks

Let’s look at what each one can do.

1. Souk

Souk is a Vinted bot made for resellers who want to buy fast, without spending all day refreshing Vinted.

Features

1. Gives you a live feed based on filters you set
2. Sends instant notifications when new items appear
3. Lets you buy with one click
4. Has an autocop feature that can buy items automatically
5. Available on mobile for both Android and iOS

Since I’m not a reseller myself, I couldn’t test it the way a pro would. So I checked reviews and community feedback to see what people were saying.

Souk promotes its Zero-delay feature the most.

Though it works great for most users, some users did complain about delay in live feed and missed notifications.

Plus, there’s no data collection or price tracking feature, which was a bit of a turn off for me.

Pricing

1. €10/month for live feed and push notifications
2. €100/month if you want autobuy and autocop features too

2. Monitorius

Monitorius is like an AI assistant for Vinted resellers. It focuses on the third step of your reselling workflow: actually selling your stuff.

Features

1. Monitors listings and sends real-time notifications
2. Uses AI to analyze products for resale potential and trend data
3. Offers a one-click buy feature
4. Automates article posting and reporting to boost visibility
5. Includes training content and a large reseller-focused Discord server

The product analysis tool is the real MVP.

It tells you if something is hot, trending, or a total waste of your time—so you don’t blow €20 on an ugly hoodie no one wants.

The listing automation is also solid. It keeps refreshing your listing so that you can stay visible without constantly relisting your article manually.

But… it’s not perfect.

Some users reported delays in getting notifications and slow response when trying to buy.

The one-click buy feature also fails sometimes, which kind of defeats the point when speed matters.

Pricing

1. €25/month to access all features

But let’s be real.

None of the tools I tried can fully automate your reselling biz. They help, sure.

But you're still doing half the work yourself.

So I said: nah. What if we built an AI agent to do it all?

1. Scrape new listings
2. Vet products and provide insights
3. Buy hot deals instantly
4. Post your own items

All on autopilot?

Turns out—you can. And no, it won’t cost you your rent.

So let’s build an AI agent that handles everything on auto-pilot.

Building an AI Agent to automate Vinted Reselling

An AI agent is like your digital employee. It does tasks for you—on its own. You give it rules, data, and tools. It figures out the rest.

But does it require coding?

Nope. I’m not coding from scratch or sacrificing a goat to the tech gods.

We’re using simple no-code stack that work together like puzzle pieces:

1. Lobstr.io – to scrape Vinted listings
2. Discord – to receive real-time alerts and updates
3. n8n – to connect everything and automate the workflows
4. Gemini (LLM) – to handle the smart stuff, like analyzing products or writing messages

With these tools, we’ll build an AI agent that scrapes listings, filters them, makes buying decisions, and even handles messaging—all while you do literally anything else.

Let’s build this beast.

Step 1 - Automate Vinted products collection

Scraping Vinted listings with Lobstr.io is almost too easy.

1. Get search or category URLs from from Vinted
2. Launch Vinted Products Scraper
3. Adjust scraper settings
4. Set a schedule to get listing updates
5. Set delivery preferences and launch

I’ve already broken this down in detail here:

But scraping is just the first part. Let’s talk automation.

How do I send scraped listings to Discord to get real-time alerts of new listings?

Step 2 - Automate Discord updates

I actually built a workflow that scrapes products using Lobstr.io and sends the results directly to Discord using Zapier. You can check it out here:

Cool, right?

BUT... Zapier kind of sucks.

1. It’s expensive
2. It’s slow
3. No webhooks in free plan
4. And it’s about as flexible as a brick in a box

So for this AI agent, we’re ditching Zapier.

We need something smarter, faster, and cheaper. That’s why we’re using n8n.

1. Way faster
2. Flexible as hell
3. It’s free (if self-hosted)

How to set up n8n?

You can install n8n locally if you want a completely free setup.

Need something cloud-based?

A $4/month DigitalOcean droplet works perfectly. That’s way cheaper than Zapier’s €27/month pricing for the same job.

Here’s the full guide if you want help setting up n8n on your local machine or a cloud server.

Let’s build the first workflow.

Collecting product listings from Vinted

We’re setting up a Vinted monitor that finds brand new Nike trainers on Vinted and sends the listings straight to a Discord channel.

Just like in tutorial #1, do a search or choose the category on Vinted, add filters, and copy the URL from the address bar.

Now simply create a Squid on Lobstr.io and do the required tweaks.

But how do I get live updates?

Getting new product updates

All the Vinted bots that give you live updates actually scrape the product listings page continuously with a few minutes delay.

You can do the same with Lobstr.io too.

But how will n8n read this Google Sheet?

Well… obviously I need to sync the same Google Sheet with n8n too.

Let’s not forget Discord…

1. Create a new Discord server
2. Go to server settings > integrations > Webhooks > new Webhook
3. Copy Webhook and paste it in your n8n Discord credentials section

Now let’s craft a message. You can simply drag and drop Sheet columns to your message.

And yes…

We’re all set.

But this is just generic automation.

Where’s AI?

Step 3 - Integrate AI agent for insights

Let’s add an AI agent between both steps.

Now the most important part is prompting.

Oh wait… I don’t know how to write a prompt!

Forget it, let’s ask an AI to write a prompt to tell an AI to do an AI analysis.

Crafting the prompt

Let’s ask ChatGPT to give us some factors to consider while deciding what items will do best if listed for reselling.

And here’s the answer:

Then I simply asked it to craft a prompt for me. (Yeah I’m that lazy).

Let’s add the prompt to our AI agent.

Configuring AI agent

Our AI agent or any AI agent in general takes 2 types of prompts:

1. System prompt
2. User prompt

A system prompt is a set of one-time instructions that we provide our AI model. It tells the AI who it is, what it should do, and how to behave.

It’s the same prompt we generated using ChatGPT.

Here goes the system prompt:

The user prompt is the ongoing input it gets during the workflow.

It's the actual data—like a new Vinted listing—that you want the AI to look at and respond to.

Now in the user prompt, we’ll simply pass on the product data from our Google Sheet.

But before running this step, I need to choose an AI model that will process and respond to this prompt.

I’ve selected Gemini. Why?

Because it’s Free!

Now we’re all set… let’s test our workflow.

Wait what???

Oops!!! I forgot to change the message in the Discord step.

Let’s run it again!

And here we go!!! Our own product vetting system is fully functional.

All the steps we did till now were a one-time effort. You don’t need to repeat any of this ever again.

Lobstr.io will automatically scrape new listings for you every few minutes, n8n will keep on pushing the products from Lobstr to Gemini and Discord.

You can further play around and fine-tune this AI agent.

Next step?

Setting up autobuy and autocop is a bit more advanced. It involves sending requests directly to the Vinted platform API, which can get complicated—fast.

Trying to explain that in this post would turn it into a small novel.

And since it includes auto checkouts and even automated payments, I strongly recommend handling that part manually.

Better safe than watching your bank account slowly disappear into a pile of accidental shoe purchases.

As for auto-listing and refreshing your own items, that part is a lot more manageable.

But let’s save all that for Part 2.

And that's a wrap (for now).

Conclusion

That’s it for best Vinted bots and the AI agent for Vinted sellers. If you want me to write a part 2 covering the remaining tasks, do send me a DM.
