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.

Suite next step: after Goldin sold comps, run Fanatics Collect Scraper for weekly-volume hammer on the same titles, then PSA Population Report Scraper for gem rate vs elite price. Volume marketplace still goes to eBay Sold Listings Scraper.

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: Fanatics Collect weekly volume auctions — use Fanatics Collect Scraper. Low-volume eBay-only comps — use eBay Sold Listings Scraper. Live TCG seller books — use TCGPlayer Listings Scraper or Cardmarket Listings Scraper. 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
• Title fields — card year, rookie, autograph, and serial (12/99, /99, 1/1) parsed from the lot title. Description text is not in the search response
• Keyword + filters — sport, category, grader, year range, price range, auction ID
• Sold-date window — soldAfter / soldBefore on completed lots. This endpoint ignores sort and is not date-ordered, so the Actor keeps scanning up to maxScan
• HTTP-first — curl_cffi Chrome TLS against Goldin's lots search API; retries when search returns 503; proxy optional

Input

Field	Description
mode	live / sold / marketplace / lot_urls / auto
searchQueries	Keywords (player, set, card). Empty = browse all in mode
startUrls	Lot URLs or slugs (lot_urls mode)
auctionType	All / Weekly / Elite / Thematic / Fixed_Price
auctionId	Optional parent auction UUID
soldOnly	Force sold archive even outside sold mode
category / categories	Category facet; single field and list are combined
sport / sports	Sport facet; single field and list are combined
grader / graders	PSA/BGS/… A lot matches any selected grader
grade	Grade substring (e.g. 10, GEM)
minGrade / maxGrade	Numeric grade window. Lots with no numeric grade are dropped when either is set
yearMin / yearMax	Card year, sent to Goldin as yearRange
soldAfter / soldBefore	Inclusive sale dates (YYYY-MM-DD or 30 days) on sold/completed lots only
rookiesOnly / autographedOnly	Title flags (Rookie / RC / 1st Bowman / Bowman 1st; Auto / Signed / Signature)
priceMin / priceMax	USD price window. Sent to Goldin as priceRange with only the sides you set. Positive prices outside the window are dropped. A lot still at $0 (no bids) is kept only when priceMin is empty or 0. That scan counts toward maxScan
maxScan	Raw hits scanned per query when a client-side filter is on, including the price window (default 2000)
maxItems	Saved rows (0 = unlimited). Does not cap the raw scan
proxyConfiguration	Optional; default off

There is no sort option. Goldin's lots search ignores sortOrder and does not return description text.

Example — Goldin sold comps (sports cards)

{
  "mode": "sold",
  "searchQueries": ["charizard psa 10"],
  "auctionType": "Elite",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Example — 1986–87 Jordan rookies, PSA 8–10, sold in 2025

Sold comps for 1986–87 Jordan rookies graded PSA 8 through 10 that closed in 2025. Year is filtered on Goldin's side. Sale date, rookie, and grade range are applied while scanning (maxScan). categories, sports, and autographedOnly are included so every added filter is in one input.

{
  "mode": "sold",
  "searchQueries": ["michael jordan rookie"],
  "soldAfter": "2025-01-01",
  "soldBefore": "2025-12-31",
  "maxScan": 2000,
  "yearMin": 1986,
  "yearMax": 1987,
  "grader": "PSA",
  "graders": ["PSA"],
  "category": "Sport",
  "categories": ["Sport"],
  "sport": "Basketball",
  "sports": ["Basketball"],
  "rookiesOnly": true,
  "autographedOnly": false,
  "minGrade": 8,
  "maxGrade": 10,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Example — live Weekly lots

{
  "mode": "live",
  "auctionType": "Weekly",
  "grader": "PSA",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Example — marketplace Fixed Price

{
  "mode": "marketplace",
  "searchQueries": ["michael jordan"],
  "maxItems": 50
}

Example — specific lot URLs

{
  "mode": "lot_urls",
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://goldin.co/item/1999-pokemon-base-set-holo-4-charizard-psa-mint-9fcmjr" }
  ]
}

Monitor new lots, price drops and bids

Schedule this Actor to watch a saved search and get only deltas: new lots, price drops, and bid increases since the last run. Turn on monitorMode, pick a distinct monitorStoreName per watch, and use the same keywords and filters each time.

The first run is the baseline: it still emits rows (up to maxItems) while remembering every scanned lot’s price and bid count. Later runs skip unchanged lots and charge only when something changed. monitorMaxScan controls how deep each run reads; maxItems caps how many changed rows are pushed per run.

{
  "mode": "live",
  "searchQueries": ["charizard psa 10"],
  "monitorMode": true,
  "monitorStoreName": "goldin-charizard-psa10",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "monitorMaxScan": 1000
}

Tip: pair monitorMode with an Apify Schedule (hourly or daily) so you get a small dataset of fresh activity without re-scraping the full catalog.

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.

Can I filter Goldin sold prices by date?
Yes. Set soldAfter and soldBefore to YYYY-MM-DD (or a relative window such as 30 days). Both days are inclusive. The filter uses endAt on sold/completed lots and leaves live lots unchanged. Goldin has no sold-date parameter and does not return this endpoint in date order, so there is no sort option — the Actor keeps scanning up to maxScan raw hits per query and keeps the matches. maxItems still caps saved rows.

Can I filter by card year / rookie / autograph?
yearMin and yearMax are sent as a server-side year range (1986–1987 for a 1986-87 card). rookiesOnly matches Rookie, a standalone RC, 1st Bowman, First Bowman, and Bowman 1st. autographedOnly matches Auto, Autograph, Signed, and Signature, and does not match Automobile. minGrade / maxGrade use the numeric grade parsed from the title. Description text is not included in search results, so these flags come from the title only.

What happens when Goldin search is down?
The lots search sometimes returns HTTP 503 search_unavailable for several seconds. The Actor retries 429 and 5xx responses and network errors with backoff (8 attempts by default, waits about 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 20, and 20 seconds). If a later page still fails after some rows were saved, that query stops, the next query continues, and the run finishes succeeded with the status Goldin search was temporarily unavailable — returned N partial results. If nothing could be fetched, the run fails with Goldin search is temporarily unavailable (HTTP 503). Please retry in a few minutes. When that request included filters, the message also says If this persists, a filter combination may be unsupported by Goldin search. A monitor run that was cut short does not treat unseen lots as removed and does not replace the baseline.
