Goldin Auctions Scraper — Sports Cards, TCG & Sold Comps

Unofficial community Actor. Not affiliated with Goldin or eBay.

Goldin Auctions scraper for high-end sports cards, TCG / Pokémon, and memorabilia. Pull live lots, sold comps (past auction results), and Fixed Price marketplace listings into JSON — hammer price, buyer's premium, bid counts, Weekly / Elite tier, and PSA / BGS / SGC / CGC grades. Works as a Goldin API alternative via HTTP search (Python / Node.js / MCP) — no headless browser.

Actor	Role
Goldin Auctions Scraper ◄── you are here	High-end auction live lots & sold comps
eBay Sold Listings Scraper	Marketplace completed sales
eBay Active Listings Scraper	Live asking prices
eBay Sold Price Intelligence	Aggregate comps & pricing stats

Suite next step: after Goldin sold comps, run eBay Sold Listings Scraper on the same titles for volume marketplace comps vs high-end hammer.

When to use

• Pull Goldin sold prices from Weekly / Elite auctions to set reserves and consignment floors
• Monitor live Goldin lots by player, set, or grader (PSA 10, BGS Black Label)
• Browse Fixed Price / marketplace buy-it-now inventory
• Resolve specific lot URLs into structured rows for sheets or warehouses
• Feed apps that need hammer + buyer's premium (true all-in buyer cost)

When not to use: low-volume eBay-only comps — use eBay Sold Listings Scraper instead. Lot-detail fields gated behind login are not scraped.

Key features

• Four modes — live, sold, marketplace, lot_urls (+ auto)
• Auction tiers — Weekly, Elite, Thematic, Fixed_Price
• Sold archive — hundreds of thousands of Completed_Sold comps
• Buyer's premium aware — buyersPremiumPct + priceWithPremium on every row
• Grade parsing — PSA / BGS / SGC / CGC / HGA / TAG from titles → label + numeric
• Keyword + filters — sport, category, grader, price range, auction ID
• HTTP-first — curl_cffi Chrome TLS against Goldin's lots search API; proxy optional

FAQ

Is this a Goldin API alternative?
Yes for public lot search: live, sold, and marketplace rows via Goldin's search endpoint — no official developer API key required.

Does the Goldin scraper need a proxy?
Usually no. Enable Apify Proxy only if you hit rate limits.

What is priceWithPremium?
Goldin adds a buyer's premium on top of hammer (often ~22%). priceWithPremium = currentPrice × (1 + buyersPremiumPct/100).

Can I scrape all Goldin sold results?
Yes — mode: sold with empty searchQueries and maxItems: 0. The archive is large; use keywords and PPE limits for focused comps.

How do I get sports card or Pokémon comps?
Use mode: sold with queries like mantle psa 8 or charizard psa 10, optionally auctionType: Elite or grader: PSA.

Why is grade sometimes null?
Grades are parsed from titles. Ungraded memorabilia may not match; use grader when titles include PSA/BGS/etc.
