Noble Knight Games OOP Board Game Catalog Scraper

Scrapes the Noble Knight Games catalog for out-of-print, used, and collectible board games, RPGs, wargames, and miniatures.

Noble Knight is the dominant condition-graded OOP/used tabletop marketplace — the standard reference for collector and reseller valuation of out-of-print titles. This actor extracts the full condition price ladder for each product (New/Mint/NM/VG+/etc.) along with publisher, category, genre, and stock status.

What it extracts

Each record represents one product in the Noble Knight catalog:

Field	Description
product_id	Noble Knight internal product ID
title	Product title
product_url	Canonical product page URL
product_type	Item type (e.g. Boxed Game, Softcover, Miniature)
publisher	Publisher name
product_line	Noble Knight product line grouping
category	Top-level category (Board Games, Role Playing Games, War Games, etc.)
genre	Genre sub-classification
condition_grade	Best available condition grade
price	Price of best available copy (USD)
currency	Currency code (USD)
in_stock	True if at least one condition is in stock
condition_price_ladder	All condition grades with prices, pipe-delimited per line
sku	Noble Knight variant SKU
description	Product description text
image	Product image URL
year	Publication year when available
bgg_id	BoardGameGeek ID when cross-linked

Condition price ladder format

The condition_price_ladder field contains one entry per available condition, newline-separated:

SW (MINT/New)|24.99|true
NM|19.99|true
EX/NM|17.99|false
VG+/NM|14.99|false

Inputs

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxItems	integer	10	Maximum product records to scrape. Set to 0 for the full catalog (~500k+ products).
productUrls	array	—	Optional list of specific Noble Knight product URLs to scrape directly, skipping the sitemap.

Examples

Scrape 100 products from the sitemap:

{
  "maxItems": 100
}

Scrape specific products by URL:

{
  "maxItems": 5,
  "productUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147993326/007---Spectre-Board-Game" },
    { "url": "https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147832914/007-Everything-Or-Nothing---Official-Strategy-Guide" }
  ]
}

How it works

1. Walks the Noble Knight sitemap index (sitemap.xml) to collect product URLs from sitemapproducts*.xml child sitemaps (9+ files, 500k+ products total).
2. Fetches each product page with an English locale header to ensure USD pricing (prevents geo-redirect to jp.nobleknight.com).
3. Returns the condition price ladder, product metadata and description for each title.
4. Emits one dataset record per product.

The full catalog contains over 500,000 SKUs. For large runs, set a generous timeoutSecs and use maxItems to scope the crawl.
