PriceCharting API

PriceCharting values by condition and grade, price history and recent sales as JSON.

The API.SH PriceCharting API turns public PriceCharting pages into structured JSON. Search the price guide for video games, trading cards, comics, coins, Funko Pops and LEGO sets, then pull one item with current values per condition or grade such as PSA 10, monthly price history, PSA and CGC population counts and recent sold listings from marketplaces such as eBay. Console and set pages list every item with its headline values.

API.SH vs the official PriceCharting API

PriceCharting has an official API, but search results and its documentation describe it as a paid subscription feature with a token, rate limits and terms that restrict commercial use. API.SH needs no PriceCharting subscription and returns price guide, history and sold-listing data in one JSON format.

Skip building your own PriceCharting scraper or paying for a single-site subscription, and skip comparing Apify, RapidAPI and ReefAPI listings: API.SH gives you one key and a fixed price per call.

PriceCharting API questions

What PriceCharting data can I get?+
