## Pricing

Pay per event

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## 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

## PSA Auction Prices Realized Scraper

Scrape PSA Auction Prices Realized (APR) — sold-comp price data for PSA-graded sports cards, Pokemon, and trading card games. Returns sale price, date, auction house, grade, cert number, and sub-grades when available.

The output schema is joinable with PSA Population Report data via `card_id`, enabling full scarcity-plus-price analysis.

### What you get

Each record represents one sold lot:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `apr_id` | Unique PSA APR sale record ID |
| `card_id` | PSA internal card spec ID (joinable with pop data) |
| `cert_number` | PSA cert number of the specific copy sold |
| `category` | Card category (sports / pokemon / tcg / non-sport) |
| `sport` | Sport tag (baseball / basketball / football / etc.) |
| `year` | Card year |
| `brand` | Brand / manufacturer |
| `set_name` | Set name |
| `card_number` | Card number within the set |
| `player_or_subject` | Player name or card subject |
| `parallel_or_variant` | Parallel or variant (refractor / autograph variant / etc.) |
| `grade` | PSA grade label (PSA 10 / PSA 9 / etc.) |
| `grade_numeric` | Numeric grade value |
| `qualifier` | Grade qualifier flag (OC / PD / MK / etc.) |
| `auction_house` | Where the comp sold (eBay / Goldin / Heritage / PWCC / etc.) |
| `listing_type` | Listing type (auction / fixed-price / best-offer) |
| `sold_price` | Final sale price |
| `currency` | Sale currency (USD) |
| `sold_at` | Sale timestamp (ISO 8601) |
| `autograph` | True if autographed card |
| `memorabilia` | True if card contains memorabilia (jersey / patch / etc.) |
| `source_url` | Original auction listing URL |
| `image_url` | Card image URL from the APR listing |

Sub-grade fields (`subgrade_centering`, `subgrade_corners`, `subgrade_edges`, `subgrade_surface`) are populated when the `Include Sub-Grades` option is enabled.

### Modes

#### Search (recommended for targeted research)

Search PSA APR by player name, set, or keyword:

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "mike trout rookie",
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

#### APR Archive Walk

Walk all APR data by category or sport:

```json
{
  "mode": "apr_walk",
  "category": "pokemon",
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

Category options: `sports`, `pokemon`, `tcg`, `non-sport` (blank = all)

Sport filter (within `sports` category): `baseball`, `basketball`, `football`, `hockey`, `soccer`, `golf`, `boxing`

#### Specific Card URLs

Fetch sales data for specific PSA spec pages directly:

```json
{
  "mode": "card_urls",
  "cardUrls": [
    "https://www.psacard.com/spec/psa/887339"
  ]
}
```

### Filtering options

- **Grade Filter** — restrict to a specific grade (e.g. `"10"`, `"9"`, `"8.5"`)
- **Year From / Year To** — filter cards by production year
- **Include Sub-Grades** — capture centering / edges / corners / surface sub-grades (costs one extra fetch per card)

### Joining with PSA Population data

The `card_id` field is the PSA spec ID — the same identifier used by PSA's pop report. Joining APR output to pop data gives you scarcity context alongside realized prices:

```sql
SELECT
  apr.card_id,
  apr.set_name,
  apr.player_or_subject,
  apr.grade,
  apr.sold_price,
  apr.sold_at,
  pop.psa_10_count,
  pop.total_graded
FROM apr_sales AS apr
JOIN psa_population AS pop
  ON apr.card_id = pop.spec_id
 AND apr.grade_numeric = 10
```

### Notes

- PSA APR is behind Cloudflare. The actor uses a residential proxy with Cloudflare bypass — a residential proxy entitlement is required.
- Sale history is fetched from PSA's JSON API. Each card spec gets a paginated API call.
- `maxItems` limits total output records (sale events), not the number of card specs scraped.
- Default timeout is 4 hours. Large APR archive walks may require extended run time.
