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 ## Dave & Adam's Card World Scraper - Sports Cards & TCG Products Scrape sports card and trading card game products from **Dave & Adam's Card World** ([dacardworld.com](https://www.dacardworld.com)), one of the largest US card retailers — sealed hobby boxes, cases, packs, blasters and singles across Pokémon, baseball, basketball, football, soccer, MMA, wrestling and more. ### What it does Search dacardworld.com's product catalog by keyword and get clean, structured data for every matching product: title, category, product type, pricing (current price, MSRP, and sale price), brand, year, image, and the product URL. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchQueries` | array of strings | Keywords to search, e.g. `["pokemon"]`, `["topps chrome"]`, `["panini prizm"]`. Each is paginated fully up to `maxResults`. | | `maxResults` | integer | Max products to collect across all queries. `0` = unlimited. Default `50`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional. Defaults to **no proxy** (recommended — the site is behind Cloudflare and the Apify platform IP passes cleanly). | #### Example ```json { "searchQueries": ["topps chrome", "pokemon"], "maxResults": 100 } ```` ### Output Each dataset item looks like: ```json { "id": "959680", "title": "2025 Topps Chrome Platinum '55 Baseball Hobby Box", "category": "Sports", "subCategory": "Baseball", "productType": "Box", "format": "Hobby", "brand": "Topps", "product": "Chrome", "series": "Platinum", "year": "2025", "price": 289.95, "msrp": 289.95, "salePrice": null, "onSale": false, "priceMin": null, "priceMax": null, "currency": "USD", "availability": "Available", "presell": false, "isDeal": false, "dealSoldOut": true, "boxBreak": false, "graded": false, "barcode": "887521143405", "sku": "BVGL0WO8S2", "image": "https://dacardworld1.imgix.net/959684_004_060226.jpg?...", "url": "https://www.dacardworld.com/sports-cards/2025-topps-chrome-platinum-55-baseball-hobby-box", "searchQuery": "topps chrome", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-09T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` #### Field notes - **category / subCategory** — top-level (`Sports`, `Gaming`) and specific niche (`Baseball`, `Basketball`, `Pokemon`, ...). - **productType** — `Box`, `Case`, `Pack`, `Single`, etc. **format** — `Hobby`, `Retail`, ... - **price / msrp / salePrice** — `price` is the current selling price, `msrp` the list price; `salePrice` is populated (and `onSale: true`) when `price < msrp`. - **priceMin / priceMax** — set for range-priced items (e.g. singles offered in multiple conditions). ### Use cases - Monitor sealed box / case prices and spot sales vs. MSRP. - Build price comparison or arbitrage tools across card retailers. - Track new releases, presells, and box-break availability. ### Notes Results come from the site's product search index and reflect its live catalog. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Dave & Adam's Card World. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): One or more keywords to search Dave & Adam's Card World products (e.g. 'pokemon', 'topps chrome', 'panini prizm'). Each query is paginated through its result set up to Max Results. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape across all queries. Set to 0 for unlimited (all available results). Default is 50. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. dacardworld.com 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": [ "pokemon" ], "maxResults": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
