Cardmarket Scraper

Extract daily European market prices from Cardmarket for 20 trading card games, covering both single cards and sealed product, with trend price, lowest listing, 1/7/30-day averages, foil and holo variants, real set names, and price movement since your last run. No API key required.

Why this scraper?

🎮 20 games in one actor

Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Digimon, Flesh and Blood, Star Wars: Unlimited, Dragon Ball Super, Riftbound and eleven more. Pick the game in the input rather than hunting for a separate actor per game.

📦 Sealed product, not just singles

Booster boxes, displays, elite trainer boxes, tins, theme decks, blisters and coins are priced alongside single cards. Set productType to sealed or all. Sealed is where the largest price movements happen and it is the part of the market most tools leave out.

🏷️ Real set names

Cardmarket's catalogue identifies sets by numeric ID only. This scraper resolves those IDs to readable expansion names, and to official three-letter set codes for Magic. You get "Obsidian Flames", not 1234.

📈 Full price history per card

Trend price, current lowest listing, and 1-day, 7-day and 30-day sale averages, for the regular printing and the foil or holo printing separately. Momentum percentages against the 7-day and 30-day averages are calculated for you.

🔁 Price movement between runs

Every record carries changeStatus (NEW, PRICE_UP, PRICE_DOWN, UNCHANGED), the previous trend price, and the percentage change. Schedule it daily and the output reads as a movement feed rather than a flat snapshot.

🇺🇸 EU versus US spread

For Magic, switch on includeUsPrices to add the US market price per card, converted to euros, and the percentage spread against the Cardmarket trend price. That is the cross-Atlantic arbitrage gap on a per-card basis. Printings with no US counterpart, such as Summer Magic and the 30th Anniversary set, are caught before they reach the output: the spread comes back null with a reason in usMatchConfidence rather than a false gap.

🔒 No seller data

This scraper collects no seller usernames, no seller locations, no ratings, and no personal data of any kind. It reads market-level price data only.

Known limitations

• A small share of expansions carry no resolvable set name, mostly promotional and one-off sets. Coverage runs from about 86% to 98% of cards depending on the game. Where the name cannot be resolved, expansionName is null and idExpansion is still returned rather than a guess being made.
• expansionCode is populated for Magic only. Other games have no official short code in the published data.
• Cardmarket publishes no product-URL mapping in its catalogue files, so searchUrl is a search link rather than a direct product link. It resolves to the product reliably.
• Some games publish only a trend figure for the foil printing and no foil averages. The variant average fields are null in those cases.
• Prices refresh once per day, in the early hours European time. Running more often than daily returns the same figures.
• The US market comparison covers Magic only, and reaches about 70% of priced Magic singles. Coverage is thinner at the top of the market: roughly 75% of cards between 20 and 100 euros carry a US price, falling to about 26% above 1,000 euros, because US market data is sparse for the rarest cards. Cards without a US price return null in those fields rather than an estimate. Where a US price exists but the two markets are more than a factor of ten apart, the match is treated as unreliable: euUsSpreadPct is null and usMatchConfidence says why. This affects under 1% of priced Magic singles above 20 euros.
