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 ## COMC Scraper - Sports Cards & TCG Listings Scrape card listings from [COMC.com](https://www.comc.com) (Check Out My Cards / Check Out My Collectibles), one of the largest sports card and trading card consignment marketplaces. Search by keyword and get clean, structured data for every matching listing. ### What it does Given one or more search queries (e.g. `charizard`, `michael jordan`, `2003 lebron james rookie`), the actor paginates through COMC's full search results and extracts every card listing into structured records. ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `itemId` | COMC internal item id | | `title` | Listing title (e.g. `Holo - Charizard [PSA 4 VG-EX]`) | | `subject` | Player / subject parsed from the title (e.g. `Charizard`, `Michael Jordan`) | | `description` | Year + set + card number line | | `category` | Top-level category (e.g. `Pokemon`, `Baseball`, `Basketball`) | | `year` | Card year | | `set` | Set / product name | | `cardNumber` | Card number within the set | | `condition` | `Graded` or `Ungraded` | | `gradingCompany` | Grading company for graded cards (e.g. `PSA`, `BGS`, `SGC`) | | `grade` | Numeric grade (graded) or marketplace condition code (ungraded, e.g. `LP`, `NM`) | | `price` | Numeric price in USD | | `priceText` | Formatted price string (e.g. `$1,242.20`) | | `currency` | Always `USD` | | `image` | Card image URL | | `url` | Full listing URL on COMC | | `seller` | Seller username (only when **Scrape Detail Pages** is enabled) | | `searchQuery` | The query that produced this record | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of when the record was scraped | ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `searchQueries` | array of strings | `["charizard"]` | Keywords to search | | `maxResults` | integer | `50` | Max listings across all queries (`0` = unlimited) | | `scrapeDetails` | boolean | `false` | Visit each listing to also capture the seller username (slower) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | none | Proxy settings (no proxy works best — see Notes) | #### Example input ```json { "searchQueries": ["charizard", "michael jordan"], "maxResults": 200, "scrapeDetails": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` ### Notes - COMC is protected by Cloudflare. This actor uses realistic browser fingerprinting and runs **without a proxy by default** — the Apify platform IP passes Cloudflare's managed challenge cleanly. Enabling datacenter or residential proxies can actually trigger challenges, so only enable a proxy if you have a specific reason to. - One COMC item can appear in multiple graded variants; each price/grade variant is returned as a separate record. Records are de-duplicated by item + grade + URL. - Pricing: charged per result via Apify Pay-Per-Event. ### Use cases - Card arbitrage and pricing intelligence - Building a price-comparison or population/inventory dataset - Tracking specific players, sets, or rookies across the marketplace - Feeding collectibles dashboards, Discord bots, and alerting tools # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): One or more keywords to search COMC.com card listings (e.g. 'charizard', 'michael jordan', '2003 lebron james'). Each query is paginated through its full result set up to Max Results. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of card listings to scrape across all queries. Set to 0 for unlimited (all available results). Default is 50. ## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, visits each card's detail page to also capture the seller username. Slower and uses more requests. Most fields (price, grade, set, image, etc.) are already captured without this. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. COMC is behind Cloudflare and works best WITHOUT a proxy (the default), using the Apify platform IP plus realistic browser fingerprinting. Enabling datacenter/residential proxies can trigger Cloudflare challenges. Only enable a proxy if you specifically need it. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "charizard" ], "maxResults": 50, "scrapeDetails": false, "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": [ "charizard" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/comc-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 📖?
