I was unable to find a similar question posted in the past on this site. The website, OneShop, provides account automation as a paid service for users selling on the Poshmark platform (as well as other websites).

This includes listing, sharing listings, as well as other services. The number of actions against a user's account can be over 1,000 in a day. The service on the platform is not a web browser extension, so the actions are taking place directly on OneShop servers.

My questions on this topic are these, with consideration of Poshmark having no available APIs:

  • How is the user's account not flagged for unusual activity from an unrecognized IP address ?
  • How are the OneShop IP addresses, over time, not blacklisted through the course of providing service to 1,000's+ of accounts ?
  • What method of programming would someone use to circumvent the need of an API in this context? Spoofing IP addresses to make it appear the activity is coming from each account owner's IP address?

This is posed as multiple questions, but the core of this post is to understand how it is possible for OneShop to provide the service they offer successfully without leveraging any available API's with Poshmark.

I very much appreciate this community and frequently come here for support of all kinds in the space of programming.

  • We are using web scrapping to achieve this. Have you found any other solution? Is there any API provided by Poshmark or another company to accomplish this solution as it is not available publically? – user1960149 Sep 06 '22 at 12:04
