If you're flipping vintage clothes or reselling items from Vinted, you already know that good deals disappear in seconds. Refreshing the app manually is a waste of time.
I wanted to build a simple Telegram bot to send me a notification the exact second a specific brand (like Carhartt or Nike) was posted in my size.
I initially tried coding a Python scraper using requests and BeautifulSoup, but Vinted's Cloudflare and Datadome protection blocked me with 403 Forbidden errors immediately. Playwright worked, but it was incredibly slow and heavy to run 24/7 on a cheap VPS.
Instead of building from scratch, I found the Vinted Turbo Scraper on Apify.
How it works
This tool handles all the proxy rotation and TLS fingerprinting for you. You just give it a standard Vinted search URL, and it returns clean JSON data.
To connect it to Telegram without coding:
- Go to Make.com or Zapier.
- Set up a trigger: Apify -> Watch for Actor Run.
- Add an action: Telegram -> Send a Message.
- Map the fields (Title, Price, URL, Image) from the Apify JSON output to your Telegram message format.
That's it. You can schedule the Apify actor to run every 5 minutes. Whenever it finds new items matching your search URL, your Telegram bot instantly pings your phone.
It's by far the easiest vinted automation setup I've tested, and it completely bypasses the anti-bot headache.
