InStockTrades Scraper — Discount Graphic Novels, Trades & Manga

Scrape InStockTrades — one of the largest discount retailers of trade paperbacks, graphic novels, hardcovers and manga (up to 42% off list price). Search any title and get structured pricing and product data: current IST price, publisher list price (SRP), discount %, publisher, writer/artist credits, availability, release date, cover image and product URL.

What it does

For each search query, the actor scrapes InStockTrades search results (40 products per page, with pagination) and optionally enriches every product from its detail page.

  • searchQueries — list of search terms (series, character, creator, publisher).
  • maxItems — max products per query (~40 per results page).
  • scrapeDetails — fetch each product page for publisher, format, page count, UPC and full description. Turn off for faster, listing-only scrapes (creators and prices still included).
  • proxyConfiguration — US residential proxy by default (the site blocks datacenter IPs).

Use cases

  • Deal hunting & price tracking — monitor discounts on comics, omnibuses and manga.
  • Price comparison — compare IST prices vs list price or other retailers.
  • Collection tooling — pull structured metadata (creators, publisher, UPC, format).
  • Restock / new release alerts — the site only lists in-stock items, so presence = availability.

Notes

  • Data comes from server-rendered public pages; no login required.
  • Coming-soon items (preorders) have no price yet — the actor returns their expected release date instead.
