TCGplayer Product Scraper — Listings, Prices & Sales

Paste any TCGplayer.com product URL and get every seller listing with 28 data fields, complete pricing data, condition breakdowns, and optional sales history. Works with Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and every other TCGplayer product line.

Why Use This Actor?

• Complete listing capture — Gets ALL seller listings for a product, not just the first page. Uses TCGplayer's internal API with pagination to fetch every single listing.
• 28 fields per listing — Price, shipping, condition, printing variant, seller rating, seller sales count, Gold Seller status, TCGplayer Direct status, seller programs, and more.
• Product-level aggregations — Instant breakdowns by condition, printing (Normal vs Holofoil), language, listing type, and quantity — no post-processing needed.
• Multi-strategy extraction — Five layered strategies (API interception, request replay, Playwright context, in-page fetch, SSR state, DOM scraping) ensure data is captured even when individual methods fail.
• Anti-bot resilient — Built on Playwright with session pooling, residential proxy support, and human-like browsing patterns to handle TCGplayer's DataDome protection.

Listing Fields (28 per listing)

Example Use Cases

1. Price Monitoring — Track a Specific Card

{
"productUrls":[
{"url":"https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/564929/pokemon-prismatic-evolutions-umbreon-ex-special-art-rare-161"}
],
"includeSalesHistory":true
}

2. Bulk Price Check — Multiple Cards at Once

{
"productUrls":[
{"url":"https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/86222/pokemon-aquapolis-houndour-87"},
{"url":"https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/564929/pokemon-prismatic-evolutions-umbreon-ex"},
{"url":"https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/521389/magic-the-gathering-foundations-llanowar-elves"}
],
"maxConcurrency":3
}

3. Arbitrage Detection

Scrape a product to get all seller listings, then compare each listing's price + shippingPrice against the marketPrice to find underpriced cards.

4. Seller Intelligence

Each listing includes sellerName, sellerId, sellerRating, sellerSales, goldSeller, and sellerPrograms — enough to build seller profiles and track inventory levels.

5. Cross-Game Comparison

Works with every TCGplayer product line — compare listing density and pricing across Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and more.

How It Works

The scraper uses a multi-strategy extraction engine to reliably capture all data:

1. Product Details API — Fetches metadata (total listings, market price, seller count) from TCGplayer's product details endpoint.
2. API Interception — Captures the browser's API calls during page load via Playwright response interception.
3. Request Replay — Replays the exact API request with pagination to fetch ALL listings.
4. Playwright APIRequestContext — Direct API calls sharing the browser's cookies and proxy.
5. In-Page Fetch — Executes fetch() inside the browser context, inheriting authentication cookies.
6. SSR State Extraction — Parses server-side rendered state from the page source.
7. DOM Scraping — Last resort: extracts data from rendered HTML.

Each strategy's results are compared, and the largest complete dataset wins.

Anti-Bot Handling

TCGplayer uses DataDome for bot protection. This actor handles it with:

• Residential proxies — Recommended. Auto-enabled on Apify.
• Session pooling — Automatic session rotation with configurable usage limits.
• Human-like delays — Configurable delay between requests (default 1s).
• Browser fingerprinting — Full Playwright browser with realistic headers.
• Block detection — Detects DataDome challenge pages and retries with a fresh session.

Tip: For best results, use RESIDENTIAL proxies with US country code:

{
"proxyConfiguration":{
"useApifyProxy":true,
"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"],
"apifyProxyCountry":"US"
}
}

Supported Product Lines

• Pokémon
• Magic: The Gathering
• Yu-Gi-Oh!
• One Piece Card Game
• Disney Lorcana
• Flesh and Blood
• Dragon Ball Super
• Digimon
• Star Wars: Unlimited
• And all other TCGplayer categories

Troubleshooting

"0 listings" or empty results

• Check proxy config: Use residential proxies with US country code.
• Verify the URL: Product URLs must contain a numeric product ID (e.g. /product/632994/...).
• Check the product page: Some products may have no active sellers.

DataDome block / "Just a moment" page

• The actor detects blocks and retries automatically (up to maxRequestRetries times).
• Reduce maxConcurrency to 2–3 and increase delayBetweenRequestsMs to 2000+ if blocks persist.

Slow runs

• Each product takes 30–60 seconds due to browser rendering and API pagination.
• Default memory (4096 MB) is recommended for Playwright-based scraping.

Limitations

• TCGplayer.com only — Does not support other marketplaces.
• English listings by default — API requests filter for English-language listings.
• US shipping context — Prices and shipping are calculated for US delivery.
• Real-time pricing — Results reflect pricing at scrape time.
