## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Fanatics Collect Scraper - Weekly & Premier Auctions

Scrape Fanatics Collect (PWCC successor, #2 high-end card auction) for weekly, premier, and fixed-price lots. Get grader/grade normalization, final-sale prices, buyer's-premium %, bid counts, and eBay vault flags. Filter by category, sport, grader, and price range.

### What it does

This actor scrapes lot listings from [Fanatics Collect](https://www.fanaticscollect.com/) (formerly PWCC Marketplace, acquired by Fanatics in 2024), the #2 platform for high-end sports card auctions after Heritage Auctions.

For each lot it extracts:
- Lot title, player/subject, year, card number, set name
- Grader (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, RAW) and grade normalization to numeric
- Current bid, opening bid, final sale price, buyer's premium %
- Bid count and watchers count
- In eBay vault flag and vault listing URL
- Auction type, lot ID, auction UUID, lot slug
- Image URLs, description, listing status, auction end date

### Use cases

- **Price research** — track what graded cards are selling for at the #2 card auction
- **Market analysis** — monitor weekly auction sell-through rates and bid counts
- **Portfolio valuation** — pull current bids on PSA/BGS graded cards you own
- **Deal scouting** — find lots with low current bids relative to recent comps
- **Archive research** — query past auction results for pricing history

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `mode` | string | `weekly_auction` | `weekly_auction`, `premier_auction`, `fixed_price`, `past_auctions`, or `lot` |
| `maxItems` | integer | 10 | Maximum lots to scrape. 0 = unlimited |
| `category` | string | All | Top-level category filter (Sports Cards, Trading Card Games, Non-Sport, Memorabilia) |
| `grader` | string | All | Grading service filter (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, RAW) |
| `keyword` | string | — | Free-text keyword search |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Residential | Proxy settings. Residential proxy required for Cloudflare bypass |

#### Modes

- **Weekly Auction** (`weekly_auction`) — Active weekly lots (runs while auction is live)
- **Premier Auction** (`premier_auction`) — Premier auction lots
- **Fixed Price** (`fixed_price`) — Buy-it-now marketplace listings
- **Past Auctions** (`past_auctions`) — Sold/completed lot archive (always has data)
- **Single Lot** (`lot`) — Scrape specific lot URLs you supply in `lotUrls`

### Output

Each dataset record contains:

### Notes

- Requires residential proxy (included automatically via Apify Residential) for Cloudflare bypass
- Weekly auction data is only available while an auction is active; use `past_auctions` mode for historical data
- The `lot` mode accepts direct lot URLs from Fanatics Collect
- Lot timing: weekly auctions typically close on Sundays at 9 PM Pacific
