Overview

PSA Price Guide's full category list -- the discovery endpoint for the category_path parameter used to browse or fetch a set's price table. Every category is a distinct collectible type (Baseball Cards, Basketball Cards, Boxing Cards, Football Cards, Golf Cards, Hockey Cards, Soccer Cards, Non-Sports/TCG Cards, Racing Cards, Sports Tickets, Tennis, Unopened Packs, Presidential Autographs, Sports Autographs, Professional Model/Game-Used Bats, Graded Baseballs). 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

- `path` values are not a uniform slug+id template — most categories are a single URL path segment (e.g. `baseball-card-values`), but `game-used-bats` and `graded-baseballs` carry no `-values` suffix, and `presidential-autograph-values/presidential-autographs` carries an extra segment. Use the returned `path` value verbatim as `category_path` when calling `psa-price-guide-set`. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "categories": [ { "id": 13, "name": "Baseball Cards", "path": "baseball-card-values" }, { "id": 3, "name": "Basketball Cards", "path": "basketball-card-values" }, { "id": 4, "name": "Boxing Cards", "path": "boxing-card-values" }, { "id": 5, "name": "Football Cards", "path": "football-card-values" }, { "id": 6, "name": "Golf Cards", "path": "golf-card-values" }, { "id": 1, "name": "Hockey Cards", "path": "hockey-card-values" }, { "id": 17, "name": "Soccer Cards", "path": "soccer-card-values" }, { "id": 7, "name": "Non-Sports/TCG Cards", "path": "non-sports-card-values" }, { "id": 10, "name": "Racing Cards", "path": "racing-card-values" }, { "id": 12, "name": "Sports Tickets", "path": "sports-ticket-values" }, { "id": 16, "name": "Tennis", "path": "tennis-card-values" }, { "id": 11, "name": "Unopened Packs", "path": "unopened-pack-values" }, { "id": 2176, "name": "Presidential Autographs", "path": "presidential-autograph-values/presidential-autographs" }, { "id": 2, "name": "Sports Autographs", "path": "sports-autograph-values" }, { "id": 8, "name": "Professional Model / Game-Used Bats", "path": "game-used-bats" }, { "id": 9, "name": "Graded Baseballs", "path": "graded-baseballs" } ] } } ```

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.
