The most complete PriceCharting price scraper available. It returns every price point the guide exposes for a product, the full condition and grade ladder (loose, CIB, new, graded, box-only and manual-only for video games; ungraded, Grade 7, 8, 9, 9.5 and PSA 10 for trading cards), plus console or set, sales volume, release info and an optional AI deal read. The full ladder is the arbitrage value: it lets you see the spread between what you can buy at and what you can sell or grade into.

What it does

Search PriceCharting by name or pass direct product URLs and get clean, structured prices for video games, trading cards (Pokemon, sports, Magic: The Gathering and more) and other collectibles.

• Capture the full condition and grade price ladder: loose, CIB, new, graded, box-only and manual-only for games; ungraded, Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9, Grade 9.5 and PSA 10 for cards.
• Add per-product detail on demand: release date, genre, publisher, ESRB rating, UPC and approximate sales volume.
• Optional AI deal scout that reads the ladder and returns a value assessment, the best condition to buy, an arbitrage note and a collector-demand read.
• Filter to only video games or only trading cards, or keep everything.
• Export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

Use cases

• Game resellers and flippers: compare loose vs CIB vs new spreads across a watchlist to find the conditions worth buying and reselling.
• Card resellers and breakers: pull the ungraded to PSA 10 ladder to spot cards where the grading upside covers submission cost.
• Collectors: track the current value of a want list or a personal collection across consoles and card sets.
• Grading and arbitrage: read the gap between ungraded and graded prices to decide what to submit and at what grade.
• Insurance and valuation: build a priced inventory of games and cards for coverage, estate or resale valuation.
• Price monitoring and repricing: feed prices into a store or marketplace repricer and rerun on a schedule.
• Market research: measure demand with sales volume and compare release-era titles across a genre or publisher.

Billing and limits

This actor is pay per result. You are charged only for real records; an empty or failed run costs nothing beyond the actor-start event.

• apify-actor-start: charged once per run to cover initialization.
• result: charged once per product returned with its price ladder.
• price_details: optional, off by default. Charged only when the extra product-page fetch returns the full grade and condition ladder plus sales volume and release info.
• ai_deal_scout: optional, off by default. Charged only when the AI returns a usable analysis.

Notes:

• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 results per run. Paid plans lift the cap.
• Paid add-ons (price_details, ai_deal_scout) are disabled on free plans.
• A spend cap is enforced: once your configured maximum charge is reached, the run stops emitting billable results.
• No login, cookies or proxy configuration required. Anti-bot handling is internal.

FAQ and troubleshooting

Do I need an account or API key for the source? No. Just provide a query or product URLs.

Why are the grade 9, 9.5 and PSA 10 (or graded, box-only, manual-only) prices null on a search-only run? The search view exposes the first three price columns. Turn on priceDetails, or pass productUrls, to get the complete ladder plus sales volume and release info.

Can I mix games and cards in one run? Yes. Each record is tagged with its category. Use the category input to keep only games or only cards.

Why did a product come back with some null fields? Not every product lists every price point or metadata field. Genuinely missing values stay null.

What currency are prices in? USD.
