📋 What the PriceCharting Scraper does

💡 Why it matters: Manually checking prices across 73+ consoles and thousands of items is tedious. This scraper automates the entire process — just point it at a console or category page and get structured pricing data.

The scraper navigates PriceCharting's console listing pages (e.g., /console/pokemon-base-set, /console/nes), extracts every product with its current market prices, and optionally follows each product link to pull historical price charts and recent eBay sold data. Cursor-based pagination handles pages of 150+ items automatically.

📊 Output

Each record contains:

Field	Description
title	Product name (e.g., "Charizard #4")
url	Full PriceCharting product URL

cib	Complete in box price ($)
new	Factory sealed price ($)
graded	Graded price ($)
boxOnly	Box only price ($)
manualOnly	Manual only price ($)

What categories does the scraper support?

Video games (73+ consoles from NES to Switch), Pokemon cards, Magic cards, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Funko Pops, LEGO sets, comics (Marvel, DC, etc.), coins, and sports cards.

How does pricing work?

The actor charges per item scraped. The base price-record event gives current prices. Enable includePriceHistory and/or includeSoldComps for additional data at extra per-item cost. Free users get 10 items per run.

Is scraping PriceCharting legal?

This actor scrapes publicly available pricing data. Respect PriceCharting's terms of service and use the data responsibly.

How fast is it?

Typically 150 items per page load (~1.2s delay between requests). A 1000-item scrape takes approximately 10-15 minutes.

Can I scrape individual product pages?

Yes — paste any https://www.pricecharting.com/game/... URL directly into the start URLs.

What happens if I hit the free tier limit?

The actor caps output at 10 items for free users. Upgrade to a paid plan for up to 1,000,000 items.

Does it work with PriceCharting's search?

Not currently — search is protected by Cloudflare. Use direct console/category URLs instead.

Can I schedule recurring scrapes?

Yes — use Apify's Scheduler to run the actor daily, weekly, or on any cron schedule.

How do I get price history data?

Enable the "Include Price History" option in the input. This fetches each product page to extract monthly price snapshots per condition (Loose, CIB, New, etc.).

What are "sold comps"?

Recent eBay sold listings that PriceCharting tracks — showing actual transaction prices and dates for each item.
