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 ## Miniature Market Scraper Scrape product search results from [Miniature Market](https://www.miniaturemarket.com) — one of the largest US retailers for board games, miniatures, Warhammer, tabletop RPGs, trading card games (TCG) and hobby supplies. Give it one or more search terms and get clean, structured JSON for every matching product: title, brand, category, current price, retail/MSRP, discount, availability, image, SKU and product URL. ### What you get For each product: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Product name | | `brand` | Manufacturer / brand (e.g. "Catan Studio", "Games Workshop") — from product page | | `category` | Deepest category (e.g. "Other Board Games") — from breadcrumb | | `categoryPath` | Full breadcrumb path (e.g. "Board Games > Other Board Games") | | `price` | Miniature Market's current selling price | | `retailPrice` | Manufacturer retail price / MSRP (list price) | | `onSale` | `true` when the selling price is below MSRP | | `discount` | Dollar amount saved off MSRP | | `availability` | `In Stock`, `Out of Stock`, or `Preorder` | | `sku` | Product SKU | | `image` | Product image URL | | `url` | Product page URL | | `query` | The search term this result came from | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp | ### Input ```json { "searchQueries": ["catan", "warhammer"], "maxListings": 60, "scrapeDetails": true } ```` - **searchQueries** — list of search terms. Examples: `catan`, `warhammer`, `dungeons and dragons`, `magic the gathering`, `pokemon`. - **maxListings** — max products per query (24 per page). Default `60`. - **scrapeDetails** — when `true`, visits each product page to add `brand` and full `category` breadcrumb. Turn off for faster, search-page-only results. - **proxyConfiguration** — optional. The site serves plain HTML and normally works without a proxy. ### Use cases - Price / MSRP monitoring and arbitrage across board-game and miniatures retailers - Availability & preorder tracking for hot releases (Warhammer, MTG, Pokemon) - Building catalogs and price databases for tabletop hobby products - Deal hunting — filter on `onSale` and `discount` ### Output sample ```json { "title": "Catan Starfarers", "brand": "Catan Studio", "category": "Other Board Games", "categoryPath": "Board Games > Other Board Games", "price": 107.99, "retailPrice": 134.99, "onSale": true, "discount": 27.0, "availability": "In Stock", "sku": "CN3005", "image": "https://www.miniaturemarket.com/media/3c/5f/7b/1752155312/cn3007_1.jpg", "url": "https://www.miniaturemarket.com/catan-starfarers-cn3005.html", "query": "catan", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-09T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Notes This is an unofficial scraper and is not affiliated with Miniature Market. Data reflects what is publicly visible on the site at scrape time. Please use responsibly. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Search terms to look up on Miniature Market (e.g. 'catan', 'warhammer', 'dungeons and dragons', 'magic the gathering'). ## `maxListings` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape per search query (24 products per page). ## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Visit each product page to enrich records with brand (manufacturer) and full category breadcrumb. Slower but richer. When off, only search-page fields are returned. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Miniature Market serves plain HTML and usually works without a proxy. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "catan" ], "maxListings": 60, "scrapeDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # 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": [ "catan" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/miniaturemarket-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 📖?
