TCGplayer Price Scraper

Search trading cards by keyword and get the current market price, lowest available price, and per-printing price points for every matching product.

Why use this actor

• Real market prices — each card comes through with its market price, lowest listed price, and median, straight from the live marketplace.
• Per-printing detail — optionally enrich every card with market, median, and buylist prices broken out by printing (Normal, Foil, Holofoil, and more).
• Full card identity — product name, set, set code, collector number, rarity, and product line so you can match cards exactly.
• Built-in product links and images — every record includes a ready-to-open product URL and an image URL.
• No account, no API key — works straight from public trading-card search and market prices.
• Stable JSON output — same field names every run, ready for spreadsheets, databases, or pipelines.

How it works

1. You provide one or more card search terms (for example charizard or black lotus).
2. The actor searches the trading-card marketplace for each term and collects every matching product.
3. Each product is saved as a CARD record with its name, set, number, rarity, and prices.
4. When per-printing price points are enabled, each card is enriched with market, median, and buylist prices for every printing.
5. Everything lands in your dataset, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't need to manage any browsers or scrapers.

Input

{
    "queries": [
        "charizard",
        "black lotus"
    ],
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 50,
    "enrichPricePoints": true,
    "maxConcurrency": 4,
    "maxRequestRetries": 5,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

This run looks up two card terms (charizard and black lotus), returns up to 50 matching products for each, and enriches every card with its per-printing price points.

Field	Type	Description
queries	array	Required. Card search terms to look up market prices for (one per entry).
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	How many matching card products to return per term. Raise it for more cards per term, lower it for a quick sample. Default 24.
enrichPricePoints	boolean	Add per-printing market / median / buylist prices to each card. Turn it off for a faster run that skips the extra per-card lookup. Default true.
maxConcurrency	integer	Number of parallel requests. Default 4.
maxRequestRetries	integer	Retries per request before giving up. Default 5.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy or a custom proxy list. The card-market feeds are open, so the default datacenter proxy is fine; residential is not required.

All prices are in US dollars (USD) — this is the US trading-card marketplace, so every price field is quoted in USD regardless of where the run happens.

Each matching card is one record (recordType: "CARD"):
