Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for direct.playstation.com

A dedicated official-store scraper tuned for direct.playstation.com — its categories, price formats and currency (USD), not a generic tool pointed at it.

💶 Structured pricing

Current price as a clean number in USD, plus discounts and previous prices where the source shows them. Items without a published price return null, never a guess.

📦 Stock status

Availability on every record, so you can monitor stock and catch restocks.

🖼️ Photos

Photo URLs for every product where the source publishes them.

📄 Full item content

Complete description and title for every record, with a direct link back to the source.

Known limitations

• Some fields (brand, condition, shipping) are only returned when the seller or source publishes them — expect null on a share of records.
• Prices and stock change constantly; records reflect the moment of scraping.
• Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
• Items can sell or be withdrawn at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

---

Technical details

• Source: direct.playstation.com
• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
• Retry: automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
