Archidekt Deck Scraper

Archidekt Deck Scraper collects public Magic: The Gathering decks from Archidekt: deck name, format, owner, views, colors and the full decklist with card quantities and prices from TCGplayer, Card Kingdom, Star City Games, Cardmarket and MTGO. Search decks by name, format or owner, or paste deck links. Built for metagame research, deck price tracking and MTG content. No account or API key.

What you get

One row per deck, with:

• Deck: Archidekt deck ID and URL, name, format, owner username, view count, colors, EDH bracket, tags, description, created and updated dates, featured image
• Categories: each deck category (Commander, Sideboard, Maybeboard and so on) with whether Archidekt counts it in the deck and in the price
• Totals: card count and total deck price in USD
• Cards: every card with quantity, categories, in-deck flag, set name and code, collector number, rarity, finish, mana cost, mana value, types, color identity and Scryfall ID
• Card prices: TCGplayer, Card Kingdom and Star City Games in USD, Cardmarket in EUR and MTGO in tix, with foil prices for foil cards

Use cases

• Metagame and Commander research: see which cards and commanders the most-viewed decks run.
• Deck price tracking: find out what popular decks cost and which cards drive the price.
• Content creation: pull decklists for articles, videos and deck techs.
• Card recommendation and machine learning: build a dataset of real, human-built decks.
• Store and inventory planning: see which cards show up in popular builds.

How to use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Search by Format, deck name and/or Owner username, and pick a sort order: most viewed, recently updated or newest.
3. Or paste Deck URLs or IDs. When you do, the Actor ignores the search fields.
4. Set Max decks, and turn off Include decklists if you only need summary rows.
5. Click Start. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read them through the Apify API.

Input example

{
  "format": "Modern",
  "orderBy": "-viewCount",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "includeCards": true
}

Scrape specific decks instead:

{ "deckUrls": ["https://archidekt.com/decks/12028998", "3045150"] }

Field	Description
deckUrls	Deck links or numeric IDs. When set, the search fields are ignored.
search	Deck name contains this text.
format	One of Archidekt's 25 formats, e.g. Commander / EDH, Modern, Pioneer, Pauper.
ownerUsername	Only decks by this Archidekt user (exact username).
orderBy	-viewCount (default), -updatedAt or -createdAt.
maxItems	Maximum decks to return (default 50).
includeCards	Fetch the full decklist (default true). Off gives faster summary rows only.

Pricing

You pay per deck saved to the dataset. Failed requests and skipped private decks cost nothing. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify Console, and the Actor stops cleanly when it reaches that limit.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Archidekt? The Actor reads only public decks through Archidekt's public JSON API, at no more than 60 requests per minute. It never outputs email addresses. You are responsible for using the data in line with Archidekt's terms and the laws that apply to you.

Do I need an Archidekt account or a proxy? No account. The proxy is off by default because the public API doesn't need one. Turn on Apify Proxy for large runs if you see errors.

Can it scrape private or unlisted decks? No. The Actor skips private decks with a warning.

How many decks can I get? Archidekt's search returns at most 1,000 decks per query. Narrow by format, owner or name to reach more.

Can I search by card name? No. Search matches deck names only.

Why is owner sometimes null? Some people use their email address as their Archidekt username. The Actor replaces those usernames with null.

What does cardCount include? Every card in a category Archidekt marks as "included in deck". On many decks that includes the Sideboard, and it never includes the Maybeboard. Each card's categories and inDeck fields let you split it yourself.

Are prices live? They are the prices Archidekt shows at scrape time. marketPrice is the TCGplayer USD price for the card's finish. totalPriceUsd sums marketPrice times quantity over the categories Archidekt includes in the price, so cards without a TCGplayer price are left out of the total.

How are colors worked out? From the color identity of the cards in the deck, or from Archidekt's color counts when Include decklists is off.

Are custom cards included? No. Custom (non-Magic) cards are not included in cards.
