# cgc-cert — CGC Comics certificate verification

Verifies CGC comic/magazine cert numbers against `https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/<cert>/` (Firecrawl render of the
Cloudflare-challenged public page; Scrapfly fallback). One request per known cert; the CGC census is login-gated and
never fetched.

- `certUrl(cert)` / `certFromUrl(url)` (also accepts the short `cgccomics.com/<cert>/` form).
- Output: `catalog_item` (title, issue, publisher, issue date/year, grade, label category → qualifier, page quality,
  key/art comments, grader notes, `identifiers.cgc_cert`) + partial `population_report` from the on-page
  "Total Graded by CGC: In 9.0: n / In Higher Grades: m".
- Shared parser: `connectors/firecrawl/_g2-grading-lib/ccg.ts` (CCG template used by CGC Comics, CGC Cards, NGC, PMG).
- Fixtures: `data/fixtures/cgc-cert/` — rebuild with `capture.ts cgc-cert action-comics-1=1134755001 not-found=9999999999`.
