GoCollect comic prices and hot comics

Get public GoCollect comic listings, trending ranks, issue metadata and available price fields as structured data. Use a small search to identify comics, or collect the current hot-comics list for a market-research snapshot.

Try the hot-comics list

{"mode":"hotComics","limit":10}

The Output table shows title, rank, available grade prices, source link and collection time. Grade prices are only returned when exposed by the public page. A missing price is not zero.

Find an issue

{"mode":"search","searchQuery":"amazing spider-man","limit":10}

Search results include available sale-record counts and publication information. Check the issue and variant, then use the returned URLs in detail mode:

{"mode":"comicDetail","comicUrls":["https://gocollect.com/comic/amazing-spider-man-300"],"limit":1}

Detail mode adds public creator and publisher metadata, key-issue notes, and any price range present in structured page data. A historical low/high sale range is not the fair market value of a specific grade.

Use the results again

Download JSON, CSV or Excel from the completed run. Save a search or hot-list input as an Apify task to collect periodic snapshots. Retain url, slug and scrapedAt so you can compare the same issue across exports. Scheduled runs incur the normal charges. The Actor does not store a separate price-history database.

For API use, run lulzasaur/gocollect-scraper, wait for completion and retrieve the run's defaultDatasetId. Apify's run and dataset guide covers the request flow. Keep credentials in your client or request header.

Modes and coverage

Mode	Result
hotComics	Current public hot list, ranks and available grades price object.
search	First-page keyword matches and available sales-count/date metadata.
comicDetail	Metadata and available public price fields from supplied URLs.
publisher	Keyword search using the publisher text. This is not a strict publisher filter.

limit caps returned rows. Search and hot-list modes only parse the initial page, so a larger limit does not guarantee more results. The legacy comicAge and proxyConfiguration inputs are not applied by this version. No login or paid GoCollect account is used, and subscriber-only sales history is not included.

The three Output views organize trending prices, search results and issue details. The full JSON retains every returned field; export field selection is independent of the table view. Null fields mean the public page did not provide a parsed value. Inspect results before using them in pricing decisions.

Pricing

The current result price is $0.01 per returned row, plus the small Actor Start charge shown on the Pricing tab. Ten rows are $0.10 in result charges. Start with a small limit and set a maximum charge. The live Pricing tab is authoritative.

For graded-supply research, see CGC Comic Census. Match the issue, printing and variant carefully because the sources do not share IDs. For help, use this Actor's Issues tab and include a small input example with no credentials.
