## 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: Music Gear Listings & Prices

**Search Reverb, the music gear marketplace, and get live listings of guitars,
amps, pedals, synths and drums with price, postage to your country, condition,
make, model and year, plus a market summary per search: median price by
condition, top makes and the cheapest deals. Ideal for gear resellers, shops
and buyers checking what something is worth.**

***

### Who it is for

- **Gear resellers and flippers** pricing stock and spotting underpriced listings
- **Music shops** checking used prices before they buy in or list
- **Buyers** comparing what a model really goes for, with postage included
- **AI agents** that need clean music-gear market data

***

### What you get

#### A market summary per search

| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| `live_listings_on_reverb` | How many live listings Reverb has for the search |
| `listings_analysed` | Listings this run read |
| `price_min`, `price_median`, `price_max` | Asking-price range in your currency |
| `median_by_condition` | Median price for Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair... |
| `offers_enabled_share` | Share of sellers taking offers |
| `top_makes` | Most listed brands |
| `cheapest` | The 5 cheapest including postage, with links |

#### Every listing (optional)

`title`, `url`, `make`, `model`, `year`, `finish`, `condition`, `price`,
`shipping`, `total_price`, `currency`, `offers_enabled`, `category`,
`shop_name`, `preferred_seller`, `image`, `published_at`.

***

### How to use it

1. Add one or more **searches**, e.g. `fender stratocaster` or `boss ds-1`.
2. Optional: **condition** (new, used, B-stock), **price range**, **currency**
   and **ships to** (a country code like `GB`, which also gives postage to it).
3. Click **Start**. Export as Excel, CSV or JSON, or connect to Google Sheets
   and other tools with Apify integrations.

```json
{
  "searches": ["fender stratocaster"],
  "condition": "used",
  "currency": "GBP",
  "shipsTo": "GB",
  "maxListingsPerSearch": 100
}
```

***

### Good to know

- Uses Reverb's official API.
- These are **asking prices of live listings**. Sold prices aren't included.
- Reverb returns up to 2,500 listings per search.

***

### FAQ

**Can I get sold prices?**
No, Reverb no longer offers its price guide publicly. This Actor reads live listings.

**Is postage included?**
Set **ships to** and you get the postage to that country and a total price.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searches": [
        "fender stratocaster",
        "boss ds-1"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("best_actors/reverb-market-data").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "searches": [
        "fender stratocaster",
        "boss ds-1",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("best_actors/reverb-market-data").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searches": [
    "fender stratocaster",
    "boss ds-1"
  ]
}' |
apify call best_actors/reverb-market-data --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,best_actors/reverb-market-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).
