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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Blowout Cards Scraper Scrape sports card and trading card (TCG) product listings from [BlowoutCards.com](https://www.blowoutcards.com) — one of the largest retailers of sealed boxes, cases, and packs for baseball, basketball, football, hockey, Pokémon, and more. ### What it does Given one or more search keywords, this Actor searches BlowoutCards.com and extracts every matching product across all result pages, up to your **Max Results** limit. For each product you get: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Product name | | `category` | Sport / TCG line inferred from the title (Baseball, Basketball, Pokemon, …) | | `price` | Current selling price (numeric, USD) | | `listPrice` | Original / MSRP price when the item is on sale | | `onSale` | `true` when a special/sale price is shown | | `priceText` | Raw price string as displayed | | `availability` | `In Stock`, `Out of Stock`, or `Unknown` | | `image` | Product image URL | | `url` | Product page URL | | `itemId` | Blowout catalog product ID | | `searchQuery` | The query that returned this item | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp | ### Input ```json { "searchQueries": ["baseball", "pokemon"], "maxResults": 50 } ```` - **searchQueries** — keywords to search (e.g. `baseball`, `pokemon`, `2025 topps`). Each is paginated fully. - **maxResults** — cap across all queries. Use `0` for unlimited. - **proxyConfiguration** — leave disabled (default). The Actor warms Imperva/Incapsula session cookies from the homepage; the Apify platform IP passes the challenge without a proxy. ### Output Results are pushed to the default dataset. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via the API. ```json { "itemId": "19351", "title": "2025 Topps Series 2 Baseball Blaster 40 Box Case", "category": "Baseball", "price": 1149.99, "listPrice": 1799.95, "onSale": true, "currency": "USD", "priceText": "$1,149.99", "availability": "In Stock", "image": "https://www.blowoutcards.com/media/catalog/product/...", "url": "https://www.blowoutcards.com/2025-topps-series-2-baseball-blaster-40-box-case.html", "searchQuery": "baseball", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-09T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Use cases - Track sealed box/case prices and sales for arbitrage or investing - Monitor stock availability of hot releases - Build price comparison tools across card retailers - Feed collectibles pricing datasets Not affiliated with or endorsed by Blowout Cards. Respect their terms of service. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): One or more keywords to search BlowoutCards.com product listings (e.g. 'baseball', 'pokemon', '2025 topps'). Each query is paginated through its full result set up to Max Results. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of product listings to scrape across all queries. Set to 0 for unlimited (all available results). Default is 50. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Blowout Cards is behind Imperva/Incapsula and works best WITHOUT a proxy (the default): the Actor warms Incapsula session cookies from the homepage using the Apify platform IP plus realistic browser fingerprinting. Enabling proxies can re-trigger the challenge. Only enable a proxy if you specifically need it. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "baseball" ], "maxResults": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQueries": [ "baseball" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/blowoutcards-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
