Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 7 tools Macfax offers

ToolWhat it does
check_mac_listingThe trust picture for one specific listing, by URL (eBay/Craigslist/OfferUp/Swappa/Facebook/Reddit) or Macfax listing id: whether Macfax knows it, whether it still passes every quality gate, scam/junk/classified/auction flags, when a scan l
Inputs: url, id
create_mac_alertWatch the market for a configuration: Macfax emails the given address when new matching listings appear. CONSENT CONTRACT: create an alert only for a user who explicitly asked for this alert on this email address. The first alert for a new
Inputs: email, config, ram_gb, storage_gb, max_price_usd, min_tier
get_mac_price_statsWhat a used Mac configuration actually sells for AND what sellers are asking right now. The sold slice is the headline: verified-sale percentiles when the config has enough recent sales (sold.basis 'direct'; n and window ride along), else t

get_mac_reportA verified Macfax condition report as structured data: hardware-verified identity, Activation Lock / MDM / serial-match checks, coverage status, and the signing chain. Use when a listing or seller shares a macfax.com/r/ link and the buyer w

lookup_mac_serialCheck a Mac serial number: whether a verified Macfax report exists for it, plus the model and year decoded from Apple's data for pre-2021 serials. 2021+ Macs have 10-character randomized serials that encode nothing, so for those the honest
Inputs: serial
search_mac_listingsLive used-Mac listings aggregated across eBay, Craigslist, OfferUp, Swappa, Facebook and Reddit, with scam clusters, junk titles, classified-ad bait, auctions and stale/sold rows already filtered out. Every result deep-links to the source l
