## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Reverb Scraper

Scrape Reverb.com marketplace listings for musical instruments and gear at scale. Extract product data by keyword, condition, category, and price — perfect for musicians, resellers, and market researchers.

### What data can you get?

#### Search mode (fast)

- Title, make, model, finish, year
- Price (with currency and buyer price)
- Condition (New, B-Stock, Used, Non-Functioning)
- Shop name and ID
- Description
- Categories
- Photos (full resolution + thumbnails)
- Auction status, offers enabled
- Listing URL

#### Detail mode (full data)

All of the above, plus:

- Seller location (city, region, country)
- View and watch counts
- Offer count
- Return policy
- Accepted payment methods
- Seller feedback count and rating
- Shipping rates by region
- Free shipping flag
- Local pickup only flag
- Handmade and sold-as-is flags

### How to use

1. Enter one or more **search queries** (e.g., "Fender Stratocaster", "Gibson Les Paul", "drum machine")
2. Optionally filter by **condition**, **category**, or **seller region**
3. Set **price filters** if needed
4. Toggle **Scrape Full Details** for complete listing data (slower but richer)
5. Run the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel

### Example output

```json
{
  "listingId": 93231483,
  "title": "Fender American Professional II Stratocaster",
  "make": "Fender",
  "model": "Fender Stratocaster American Professional II",
  "finish": "RW 3-Tone Sunburst",
  "year": "2023 - Present",
  "price": 1299.99,
  "priceCurrency": "USD",
  "priceDisplay": "$1,299.99",
  "condition": "Excellent",
  "shopName": "Guitar Center",
  "categories": "Electric Guitars / Solid Body",
  "offersEnabled": true,
  "photos": [
    {
      "url": "https://rvb-img.reverb.com/i/full/image.jpg",
      "thumbnail": "https://rvb-img.reverb.com/i/thumbnail/image.jpg"
    }
  ],
  "url": "https://reverb.com/item/93231483-fender-stratocaster",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-03-17T06:30:00.000Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Musicians**: Find deals on specific instruments, compare prices across sellers
- **Resellers**: Monitor prices and find underpriced gear to flip
- **Market research**: Track pricing trends for specific makes, models, and years
- **Vintage gear tracking**: Monitor rare and vintage instrument listings
- **Price monitoring**: Combine with Apify schedules to get notified of new listings
- **Data analysis**: Export to CSV/Excel for spreadsheet analysis

### Input options

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | string\[] | Search terms (required) |
| `condition` | string | Filter: new, b-stock, used, non-functioning |
| `category` | string | Category slug (e.g., 'electric-guitars', 'amps') |
| `itemRegion` | string | Seller region code (e.g., 'US', 'GB', 'JP') |
| `maxListings` | integer | Max results per query (default: 100, 0 = unlimited) |
| `minPrice` | integer | Minimum price filter (USD) |
| `maxPrice` | integer | Maximum price filter (USD) |
| `sortBy` | string | Sort: relevance, price_asc, price_desc, newest, oldest |
| `scrapeDetails` | boolean | Get full listing details (default: false) |

### Tips

- **Search mode** is ~10x faster than detail mode. Use it for bulk price monitoring.
- **Detail mode** is best when you need location, view counts, or seller ratings.
- Use **category** filter to narrow results (e.g., 'effects-pedals', 'keyboards-synths').
- Use **Apify Schedules** to run this scraper daily/hourly for automated monitoring.
- Combine with **Apify integrations** (Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier) for automated workflows.

### Limitations

- Only scrapes publicly available listing data
- Price filters are in USD only
- Maximum ~2,500 results per search query due to API pagination limits
- Seller contact info is not available through public data

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
