#/definitions/psa.autographFactsSubjectResponseDoc

Overview

One autograph subject's full public reference page: PSA's own authentication notes (signing habits, forgery risk, signature evolution), a general biography, and a per-item-type price guide (e.g. 3x5/AP card, photo, check, letter, single-signed ball -- item types vary by subject). subject_id is the numeric id from a psa-autographfacts-subjects result. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.

Infrastructure behavior

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.

• Proxy strategy: managed automatically where needed
• Browser rendering: enabled for supported targets that require rendered HTML or JavaScript execution
• Browser cluster: supported dynamic workloads can be routed through distributed browser instances
• Retry behavior: automatic retry/fallback may be used depending on endpoint type
• Challenge handling: challenged pages or unusable upstream HTML are detected and surfaced clearly when they cannot be used
• Billing: credits are charged only for successful 2xx responses
• Observability: responses include request context where available

Response behavior

- `autograph_profile` is PSA's own free-text authentication notes for this subject's signature (signing habits, forgery risk, signature evolution). - `subject_profile` is PSA's own free-text biography for this subject. - `prices` maps PSA's own item-type labels (e.g. `3x5/AP`, `Gum Card`, `Photo`, `Check`, `Letter`, `SS Bat`, `SS Ball`) to PSA's own formatted price text — these item types vary by subject, not a fixed global list. `"IMP"` marks an item type PSA considers impossible/unavailable for this subject rather than a real price. - A `subject_id` PSA cannot resolve returns `404`. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "subject_id": "1", "name": "Hank Aaron", "autograph_profile": "Hank Aaron has always been considered very fan friendly when it comes to signing autographs. Even at the height of his fame when he was chasing Ruth's career home run record, Aaron often took the time to accommodate his fans.", "subject_profile": "Henry Louis \"Hank\" Aaron (February 5, 1934-January 22, 2021) established himself early in his career as one of the greatest power hitters in baseball.", "prices": { "3x5/AP": "$65", "Gum Card": "$150", "Photo": "$350", "Check": "$200", "HOFPlakBW": "IMP", "HOFPlakG": "$200", "Letter": "$250", "SS Bat": "$300", "SS Ball": "$250" }, "source_url": "https://www.psacard.com/autographfacts/subject/profile/1" } } ```

Error behavior

Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.

When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
