PriceCharting Scraper — Game, Card & Collectible Prices

Unofficial community Actor. Not affiliated with PriceCharting.

PriceCharting scraper for video game, Pokémon / TCG card, comic, Funko, LEGO, and coin price guide data. Search by keyword, open product URLs, or crawl a whole set/console — then export ungraded and graded prices, price history, optional sold comps, POP report, and 1600px images as JSON. A practical PriceCharting API alternative for shops, resellers, and apps that need on-demand data in Python, Node.js, or via MCP.

Resale suite

Actor	Role
PriceCharting Scraper ◄── you are here	Guide prices, grade ladder, history, sold comps
eBay Sold Listings Scraper	Marketplace completed sales & sold prices
eBay Active Listings Scraper	Live asking prices
eBay Sold Price Intelligence	Aggregate comps & pricing stats

Suite next step: after guide values, run eBay Sold Listings Scraper on the same titles to compare PriceCharting vs real marketplace sold prices.

When to use

• Re-price a video game or card shop inventory from PriceCharting guide values
• Value a Pokémon / MTG / Yu-Gi-Oh collection with history, not a single snapshot
• Compare raw vs PSA 10 / BGS 10 before paying grading fees
• Pull a full set or console catalog (Base Set, NES, Switch, …) in one run
• Power dashboards or MCP workflows that need a PriceCharting price API-style JSON feed

Key features

• All-in-one — search, product URLs, and whole collections in one Actor
• Listings or details — fast table prices, or full grades + history + images
• Full grade ladder — Grade 1–9.5, PSA / BGS / CGC / SGC / TAG / ACE 10, Black Label, Pristine
• Price history — dated series per condition from chart data
• Sold comps (opt-in) — recent eBay / TCGPlayer-style sales with date, title, price, link
• POP report — PSA / CGC population counts for cards
• Collection index — set/console value & median history plus every product (paginated)
• Failed lookups free — only successful dataset rows are billed
• HTTP-first — no headless browser; proxies usually optional

FAQ

Is this an official PriceCharting API?
No. It scrapes public pages. Treat it as a PriceCharting API alternative for automation; respect their terms for redistribution.

Do I need a proxy?
Usually not. Enable Apify Proxy on large collection crawls if you hit rate limits.

Why are failed lookups free?
Dead or unreadable URLs are skipped — not written to the dataset and not charged.

Listings vs details?
listings = fast set/search tables. details = full grade ladder, history, POP, optional sold comps.

What categories are covered?
Video games, Pokémon and other TCG, comics, Funko Pops, LEGO, coins — anything on public PriceCharting catalog pages.
