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 ## BrickLink LEGO Marketplace Scraper Scrape LEGO sets, parts, minifigures, books, and gear from [BrickLink](https://www.bricklink.com/) — the world's largest online LEGO marketplace with 400K+ items. ### Features - **Search anything** — sets, parts, minifigures, books, gear by name or number - **Price data** — new and used min/avg/max prices from 6-month sales history - **Market data** — seller counts, total lots, inventory quantities - **Item filtering** — filter by type (sets only, parts only, etc.) - **Price guide** — optional detailed price guide with historical averages ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | Search term (e.g. "millennium falcon", "75192", "technic") | | `itemType` | select | Filter: all, set, part, minifig, book, gear | | `maxResults` | integer | Max items to return (1-1000, default 100) | | `includePriceGuide` | boolean | Fetch detailed 6-month price history (default true) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional proxy configuration | ### Output Each result contains: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `itemId` | BrickLink internal item ID | | `itemName` | Full item name | | `itemNumber` | BrickLink item number (e.g. "75192-1") | | `itemType` | Set, Part, Minifigure, Book, or Gear | | `categoryName` | BrickLink category path | | `thumbnailUrl` | Item image URL | | `newMinPrice` | Minimum new price (USD) | | `newAvgPrice` | Average new price (USD, from price guide) | | `newMaxPrice` | Maximum new price (USD) | | `usedMinPrice` | Minimum used price (USD) | | `usedAvgPrice` | Average used price (USD, from price guide) | | `usedMaxPrice` | Maximum used price (USD) | | `totalLots` | Total lots for sale | | `totalQuantity` | Total quantity available | | `sellerCount` | Number of sellers | | `url` | Direct link to item on BrickLink | | `scrapedAt` | Timestamp of scrape | ### Example Output ```json { "itemId": 157691, "itemName": "Millennium Falcon", "itemNumber": "75192-1", "itemType": "Set", "newMinPrice": 483.00, "newAvgPrice": 677.38, "newMaxPrice": 1999.00, "usedMinPrice": 30.00, "usedAvgPrice": 438.75, "usedMaxPrice": 600.00, "totalLots": 506, "sellerCount": 287, "url": "https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=75192-1" } ```` ### Use Cases - **LEGO investing** — track prices of retired sets over time - **Collection valuation** — price your LEGO collection at market rates - **Deal hunting** — find underpriced sets and parts - **Market research** — analyze supply/demand across LEGO categories - **Price comparison** — compare new vs used prices across sellers ### Cost This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged per result returned. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search term (e.g. 'millennium falcon', '75192', 'technic', 'darth vader minifig'). ## `itemType` (type: `string`): Filter results by item type. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of items to return. ## `includePriceGuide` (type: `boolean`): Fetch detailed 6-month price guide (min/avg/max) for each item. Slower but more data. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional proxy to use for requests. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "millennium falcon", "itemType": "all", "maxResults": 100, "includePriceGuide": true } ``` # 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 = { "searchQuery": "millennium falcon" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/bricklink-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 📖?
