🚀 UEX Star Citizen Commodities Scraper

🚀 Export the Star Citizen commodity economy in seconds. Pull every UEXcorp commodity with names, codes, SCU weight, and live buy and sell prices.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-08 · 📊 Up to 25 fields per record · official UEXcorp API 2.0 · live market prices

Turn the UEXcorp commodity economy for Star Citizen into clean, structured records you can drop into a trade-route planner, a market tracker, or a spreadsheet. Pull the whole catalog or filter by commodity kind, and optionally enrich each entry with its best buy and sell terminals drawn from live per-terminal prices.

Coverage is the public UEXcorp commodity catalog as the official API 2.0 publishes it: every commodity with its name, code, kind, SCU weight, average buy and sell prices, and availability flags, plus optional best-terminal enrichment that surfaces where to buy lowest and sell highest. Data is read live, so every run reflects the in-game economy as UEXcorp tracks it.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Traders and haulers	Plan profitable trade routes
Tool and overlay builders	Power an in-game market companion
Org logistics and analysts	Track the commodity economy over time
Spreadsheet planners	Export the full catalog for offline analysis

📋 What the UEX Star Citizen Commodities Scraper does

This Actor calls the official UEXcorp API 2.0 and returns one clean record per commodity:

• Commodity kind filter — return only commodities whose kind matches your text (case-insensitive, partial match), for example Metal, Gas, or Drug. Leave empty for the whole catalog.
• Best trading terminals — optionally enrich each commodity with its best buy terminal (lowest price) and best sell terminal (highest price) from live per-terminal prices. This makes one extra request per commodity, so it is slower.

You control how many records come back, and every record carries a scrapedAt timestamp.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Description
kind	string	Optional filter. Only return commodities whose kind matches this text (case-insensitive, partial match), for example Metal, Gas, Drug, or Agricultural. Leave empty to return every kind.
includeTerminalPrices	boolean	When enabled, each commodity is enriched with its best buy terminal (lowest price) and best sell terminal (highest price) from live per-terminal prices. One extra request per commodity, so it is slower. Defaults to false.
maxItems	integer	How many commodities to return. Free plan is capped at 10.

Example 1 — every metal commodity with best terminals

{
    "kind": "Metal",
    "includeTerminalPrices": true,
    "maxItems": 50
}

Example 2 — the full catalog, prices only

{
    "kind": "",
    "includeTerminalPrices": false,
    "maxItems": 100
}

⚠️ Good to Know: turning on includeTerminalPrices adds the best buy and sell terminal for each commodity but makes one extra request per item, so runs take longer. Leave it off for a fast catalog pull with average prices only. The kind filter is a partial, case-insensitive match.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account or API key? No. The Actor reads the public UEXcorp API 2.0, which needs no login or key.

How do I filter by commodity kind? Set the kind field to text like Metal, Gas, or Drug. It is a partial, case-insensitive match.

What does best-terminal enrichment do? With includeTerminalPrices on, each commodity gains its best buy terminal (lowest price) and best sell terminal (highest price) from live per-terminal prices.

Why is enrichment slower? It makes one extra request per commodity to load per-terminal prices, so larger runs take longer.

Why are the best-terminal fields null? They are only populated when includeTerminalPrices is enabled. Without it, you still get average buy and sell prices.

What is SCU weight? The cargo weight per Standard Cargo Unit, useful for planning hauls.

How fresh is the data? Every run reads live from UEXcorp, so it reflects the economy as UEXcorp tracks it at run time.

Can I export to Excel or CSV? Yes. Apify lets you download the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

Can I schedule this? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to snapshot the economy on any cadence.

Is this affiliated with UEXcorp or Star Citizen? No. This is an independent tool that reads only publicly available data.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Results are available through the Apify API, so you can pull them into any app, database, or workflow you already run.
