Pocamarket Scraper 🎴

Scrape K-pop photocard listings and prices from Pocamarket (포카마켓) — the global marketplace where fans buy and resell photocards — as clean, structured JSON. Search the catalog by artist, member, or card name and get the lowest USD asking price, discount, in-stock count, wish count, sales volume, and card image in one call.

Built for photocard resale price research, collectible market analysis, and K-pop merch datasets.

Try it free. Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit — roughly 2,000 results from this actor, no credit card required. Set your input, click Start, and export JSON/CSV/Excel.

What it does

This actor pulls data directly from Pocamarket's public catalog JSON API (the same one that powers pocamarket.com), so results are fast and complete — no fragile HTML scraping in the happy path. Give it a keyword and it returns every matching photocard in the catalog, newest listing first:

• Search — every photocard matching a keyword (e.g. BTS, SEVENTEEN, ATEEZ, NewJeans). The keyword matches artist/group, member, and card names.
• Browse — leave the keyword empty to page through the entire catalog (hundreds of thousands of cards).

Each record is one photocard with its lowest current asking price across sellers plus demand signals (wishes, units sold, units in stock).

Privacy first: this actor collects photocard + price data only. Pocamarket's catalog API carries no seller nicknames, IDs, or profiles, and this actor never emits any seller-shop field — not even a seller country. Card images are the site's own CloudFront catalog thumbnails.

Input

Field	Type	Description
query	string	Keyword to search (artist / member / card name). Leave empty to browse the whole catalog.
maxItems	integer	Max photocards to collect. Default 100.
fetchDetails	boolean	If true, make one extra request per card to fill card_type and album_era. Roughly doubles run time. Default false.
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings. Apify RESIDENTIAL recommended for large runs.

Input example

{
  "query": "SEVENTEEN",
  "maxItems": 100
}

{
  "query": "ATEEZ",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "fetchDetails": true
}

---

Output

Each photocard is one dataset record. Prices are in USD (Pocamarket's global marketplace prices in USD). price_usd is the lowest current asking price across all sellers of that card.

A full 40-item sample from a real run is in samples/sample-output.json.

Field	Meaning
source	Always "pocamarket".
listing_id	Pocamarket photocard id.
artist	Group / artist name (English).
member	Member name (English).
name	Card name — usually the album / era + release channel.
album_era	Release month (e.g. "2024.07"). Only populated when fetchDetails: true; otherwise null.
card_type	Card kind: Album, Concert, Fan meeting, Lucky draw, POB, etc. Only reliably populated when fetchDetails: true; in base mode it is a best-effort guess from the card name and is usually null.
price_usd	Lowest current asking price across sellers (USD).
discounted_price_usd	Discounted price if the card is in a promotion (else equal to price_usd).
discount_rate	Discount percentage (integer), 0 when not on sale.
recent_price_usd	The next-lowest / recent reference price, or null.
currency	Always "USD".
trade_type	Always "sale" (Pocamarket's global marketplace is a straight resale surface).
condition	Not exposed by the catalog API — always null. See Known limitations.
in_stock_count	How many copies of this card are currently listed for sale.
sales_volume	How many copies have sold.
wish_count	How many users have wishlisted this card (demand signal).
url	Card page URL on pocamarket.com.
image_url	Catalog card image (CloudFront thumbnail).
listed_at	Latest listing time for this card (KST, UTC+9).
scraped_at	ISO-8601 timestamp (KST, UTC+9).

Known limitations (so you only pay for what works)

• card_type and album_era come from a per-card detail endpoint. They are populated only when you set fetchDetails: true. In the default fast mode they are null (a lightweight name-based card_type guess is attempted but usually can't determine the type). Turn on fetchDetails if you need these.
• condition (mint / like-new / used grade) is not exposed by the public catalog API and is always null. Do not rely on it.
• Ordering is newest listing first and is fixed by the API; there is no working server-side price/popularity sort, so this actor does not offer one.

Use cases

• Photocard resale price research — track the lowest asking price, discount, and stock depth for any member's cards across the global resale market.
• Collectible market analysis — measure demand (wishlists), liquidity (units sold vs. in stock), and price trends by artist, member, or era.
• K-pop merch datasets — feed structured photocard + price data into pricing models, arbitrage dashboards, or LLM agents.
• Fan tools — build "best deal" alerts or a collection-value tracker on top of clean price data.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape this data? This actor collects only public, non-personal catalog data — the same photocard listings any visitor sees on pocamarket.com without logging in. No personal data is collected (no seller nicknames, IDs, or profiles). You are responsible for how you use the data; see the legality note below.

What does it cost in practice? $2.50 per 1,000 results (launch pricing) + a few cents of platform usage. Example: a 500-result daily pull costs about $1.25/day. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers ~2,000 results.

Do I need to configure proxies? No — the default settings work out of the box. For large runs or with fetchDetails on, optionally enabling Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group makes runs more reliable (see the proxy recommendation below).

How fresh is the data? Every run scrapes the live site at run time. Schedule the actor for recurring snapshots (e.g. daily price tracking).

What is NOT included? condition (mint/used grade) is not exposed by the public catalog API and is always null, and card_type / album_era populate only with fetchDetails: true. No seller data of any kind is collected, and results are always ordered newest-listing-first (no server-side price sort).

Rate limiting & legality

• The actor collects only public, non-authenticated data. It never logs in and never touches private endpoints.
• No personal data is collected — no seller nicknames, IDs, profiles, or shop handles, and no seller location. Only photocard + price data.
• Requests are rate-limited: one page at a time with a ≥ 500 ms delay between requests, to stay gentle on Pocamarket's servers.
• You are responsible for using the data in line with Pocamarket's terms of service and applicable law.

⚠️ Proxy recommendation

Pocamarket may block datacenter IPs or high request volumes. For reliable runs — especially at higher maxItems or with fetchDetails — enable Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group. The actor automatically uses the proxy configuration you provide (via proxyConfiguration in input) and, if a proxy tunnel fails, falls back to a direct connection rather than hanging. If you see repeated HTTP 403/429 errors in the log, switch on residential proxy.
