How it works
The scraper calls Sportlots' internal AJAX search API directly, bypassing the JavaScript-rendered search UI:
- Resolves a server-side search token (
searchnbr) for each query - Fetches the total page count
- Paginates through results at 60 cards per page
No browser rendering, no proxy, and no captcha solving required — the API returns JSON directly from any IP.
Use cases
- Dealer pricing: Get the lowest available asking price for any card before buying or listing
- Inventory research: Find how many copies of a card are currently listed across all sellers
- Set completion: Search for specific cards within a set to complete your collection
- Market analysis: Track available inventory for player PCs or investment portfolios
- Comps research: Use alongside graded card marketplaces to compare raw vs graded pricing
Notes
- Results reflect live inventory at run time — Sportlots is a P2P marketplace and listings change continuously
- The
sportfield is inferred from set name keywords; sets without sport-specific branding (e.g. generic Topps products) returnother - Grader and grade fields are parsed from card text; not all graded listings explicitly name the grader in the API response
- Rate is capped at 1 request/second per Sportlots API best practices
