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 ## Sealed Wax TCG Price Tracker - Booster Box & Case Prices Track the market price of **sealed / wax trading card products** — booster boxes, elite trainer boxes (ETBs), cases, blasters and hobby boxes — across Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and sports cards (Panini Prizm, Topps, etc.). Powered by **PriceCharting** data. For each sealed product you get the current sealed market price plus, optionally, the **full historical price chart** so you can see how a box has appreciated (or dropped) over time — perfect for resellers, collectors, and investors tracking sealed product as an asset. ### What it scrapes - **Sealed market price** — the current "Ungraded" / sealed price for the box, case, or pack - **Loose box price** — where a partially opened / loose price point exists - **New & graded prices** — when available - **Price history** — full historical price series (sealed, loose box, new, graded) when detail scraping is enabled - **Set / game**, product title, image, and PriceCharting URL ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `searchQueries` | array | `["pokemon booster box", "pokemon elite trainer box", "mtg collector booster box", "panini prizm hobby box"]` | Sealed product search terms. Up to 100 results returned per query. | | `maxListings` | integer | `100` | Max products to scrape per query (1–100). | | `scrapeDetails` | boolean | `true` | Visit each product page for full price history + extra fields. | | `category` | string | `trading-cards` | Category filter. `trading-cards` is recommended for sealed TCG. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Optional proxy. PriceCharting has no anti-bot, so usually not needed. | #### Example input ```json { "searchQueries": [ "pokemon booster box", "pokemon elite trainer box", "mtg collector booster box", "panini prizm hobby box" ], "maxListings": 100, "scrapeDetails": true, "category": "trading-cards" } ```` #### Example search terms - `pokemon booster box`, `pokemon booster case`, `pokemon elite trainer box`, `pokemon booster bundle` - `mtg booster box`, `mtg collector booster box`, `mtg set booster box` - `yugioh booster box`, `yugioh case` - `panini prizm hobby box`, `topps chrome hobby box`, `panini select blaster` ### Output Each item: ```json { "title": "Booster Box", "consoleSet": "Pokemon Surging Sparks", "category": "pokemon-cards", "productId": "7800021", "sealedPrice": 292.50, "looseBoxPrice": null, "newPrice": null, "gradedPrice": null, "releaseDate": null, "priceHistory": { "sealed": [ { "date": "2025-01-15", "price": 310.00 }, { "date": "2025-06-01", "price": 292.50 } ] }, "imageUrl": "https://...", "productUrl": "https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-surging-sparks/booster-box", "searchQuery": "pokemon booster box", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-24T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Notes - The **sealed price** is PriceCharting's "Ungraded" market value for the sealed product (the figure most resellers reference). - Disable `scrapeDetails` for a faster, search-only run (no price history) if you only need current prices. - PriceCharting is server-rendered with no anti-bot, so runs are fast and cheap. ### Pricing This Actor uses pay-per-event billing: you are charged per sealed product scraped. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Sealed / wax product search terms (e.g. 'pokemon booster box', 'pokemon elite trainer box', 'mtg collector booster box', 'panini prizm hobby box', 'yugioh booster box', 'pokemon booster case'). Each query returns up to 100 results from PriceCharting search. ## `maxListings` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of sealed products to scrape per search query. PriceCharting returns up to 100 results per search. ## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, visits each product's detail page to extract the full historical sealed price chart data, new/graded prices, category and release date. Slower but much richer data. Recommended for sealed products. ## `category` (type: `string`): Filter results by category. 'Trading Cards' (default) is recommended for sealed TCG / wax products. Use 'all' for no filtering. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. PriceCharting is SSR with no anti-bot protection, so proxies are usually not needed. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "pokemon booster box", "pokemon elite trainer box", "mtg collector booster box", "panini prizm hobby box" ], "maxListings": 100, "scrapeDetails": true, "category": "trading-cards", "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": [ "pokemon booster box", "pokemon elite trainer box", "mtg collector booster box", "panini prizm hobby box" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/sealed-wax-prices-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 📖?
