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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Cardhoarder Scraper - MTGO Magic Online Card Prices Scrape **Cardhoarder** ([cardhoarder.com](https://www.cardhoarder.com)) for **Magic: The Gathering Online (MTGO)** singles pricing. Cardhoarder is one of the largest MTGO singles stores, and its prices are quoted in **event tickets (tix)**, which trade roughly 1:1 with USD. This gives you a distinct *digital* MTG price signal, separate from paper-card marketplaces. ### What it does Give it a list of card names and it returns every matching MTGO printing with: - **name** — card name - **setName** / **setCode** — the MTGO set the printing belongs to - **collectorNumber** — collector / set number - **isFoil** / **finish** — foil vs nonfoil (MTGO tracks these separately) - **priceTix** / **priceUsd** — sell price in event tickets (tix ≈ USD) - **buylistTix** — Cardhoarder buylist (buy) price - **quantityForPurchase** / **inStock** — current stock - **type** — primary card type (e.g. creature, artifact) - **isForRent** / **isBuylisted** — rental & buylist availability flags - **legalFormats** — restricted/banned play formats (when available) - **imageUrl** — high-res card image - **scryfallId** — Scryfall UUID for cross-referencing - **url** — Cardhoarder card page ### Input ```json { "searchQueries": ["ragavan", "black lotus"], "maxListings": 60, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `searchQueries` | string\[] | `["ragavan"]` | MTGO card names to search | | `maxListings` | integer | `60` | Max printings per query (paged 60 at a time) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Optional proxy settings | ### Output (sample) ```json { "name": "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer", "setName": "Modern Horizons 2", "setCode": "MH2", "collectorNumber": "138", "isFoil": false, "finish": "nonfoil", "priceTix": 12.01, "priceUsd": 12.01, "buylistTix": 8.58, "type": "creature", "quantityForPurchase": 4, "inStock": true, "imageUrl": "https://.../front/672.jpg", "scryfallId": "a71d1ec3-2d7a-4749-8936-8bf7a8b83d84", "url": "https://www.cardhoarder.com/cards/139949", "searchQuery": "ragavan" } ``` ### Use cases - Track MTGO singles prices for arbitrage vs paper (Cardmarket, TCGplayer) - Monitor tix price movements around set releases and format shakeups - Feed MTGO deck-cost calculators and price-alert bots - Compare foil vs nonfoil MTGO premiums ### Notes - Prices are in MTGO **event tickets (tix)**; 1 tix ≈ 1 USD. `priceUsd` mirrors `priceTix`. - `rarity` is not exposed by Cardhoarder's search API and is returned as `null`. - Data is sourced from Cardhoarder's public card-search JSON endpoint. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Magic: The Gathering Online (MTGO) card names to search on Cardhoarder (e.g. 'ragavan', 'black lotus'). Each query returns all matching printings. ## `maxListings` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of card printings to collect per search query (paged 60 at a time). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Cardhoarder sits behind Cloudflare; the actor uses browser-like TLS fingerprints and works without a proxy in most cases. Enable Apify Proxy if you hit intermittent challenges. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "ragavan" ], "maxListings": 60, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (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": [ "ragavan" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/cardhoarder-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 📖?
