## 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

## Japan Used Instrument Market — Cross-Shop Price Comparison

**Compare used guitar & instrument prices across Japan's largest used-instrument marketplaces in a single dataset.**

Scrapes listings from **Digimart (デジマート)** — Japan's largest used-instrument marketplace (2,000+ shops) — and **Ishibashi Music U-BOX (イシバシ楽器)** — one of Japan's biggest music store chains (12 stores, 7,000+ used items in stock). Each item is tagged with its `source` and `shop` so you can compare prices for the same model across shops.

### Why this is useful

- **Cross-shop price comparison** — the same guitar/amp often differs by 10-30% between shops
- **Resale arbitrage** — find underpriced gear at one shop, sell at another
- **Price monitoring** — track market moves for your gear before buying/selling
- **Full market scan** — one run covers electric/acoustic guitars, basses, effects, amps, drums, keyboards, and more

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchKeyword` | string | `Fender` | Keyword filter (empty = full market scan) |
| `maxItems` | integer | 100 | Max items to collect |
| `maxPages` | integer | 2 | Max pages per source |
| `sources` | string | `digimart,ishibashi` | Comma-separated source list |

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `productId` | Product ID at source shop |
| `title` | Product title |
| `price` | Price in JPY |
| `brand` | Brand |
| `shop` | Source shop name |
| `category` | Category label |
| `condition` | Condition (新品/中古/ビンテージ) |
| `source` | `digimart` or `ishibashi` |
| `imageUrl` | Product image URL |
| `productUrl` | Product page URL |
| `scrapedAt` | Scrape timestamp |
| `listPrice` | Regular/list price in JPY (when discounted) |
| `instruType` | Instrument type code |
| `instruTypeLabel` | Instrument type label (新品/中古/アウトレット) |
| `inStock` | Stock availability (boolean) |
| `shopName` | Selling shop name (Digimart only) |
| `registeredAt` | Listing registration date |

### Output sample

```json
{
  "productId": "DS10679928",
  "title": "Made in Japan Limited Active Modern Stratocaster HSS Rosewood Fingerboard Black フェンダー [限定モデ",
  "brand": "Fender",
  "category": "エレキギター",
  "price": 275000,
  "listPrice": null,
  "condition": "新品",
  "instruType": "1",
  "instruTypeLabel": "新品",
  "inStock": true,
  "shopName": "イシバシ楽器 デジマート店",
  "registeredAt": "2026/08/10",
  "imageUrl": "https://img.digimart.net/prdimg/s/2b/daef69e60a8b5ba9d6147894732cc4f424264d.jpg",
  "productUrl": "https://www.digimart.net/cat01/shop1484/DS10679928/",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-10T09:54:40.242533Z",
  "source": "digimart",
  "shop": "イシバシ楽器 デジマート店"
}
```

The `source` + `shop` fields let you compare the same instrument across shops: run once with `searchKeyword: "Fender"` and get Digimart and Ishibashi prices side by side.

### Pricing

Pay per event — $0.00005/run + **$0.002/item**.

### Integrations

Works with Apify [Connectors](https://apify.com/integrations) — push results to Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, Supabase, or GitHub with one click (no code needed). Trigger on a [Schedule](https://apify.com/docs/schedules) for daily price monitoring.

### Data source notes

- **Digimart**: server-side rendered search pages with embedded dataLayer JSON (item_id, brand, category, price, stock). 174k+ items for guitar alone.
- **Ishibashi Music U-BOX**: server-side rendered search (`store.ishibashi.co.jp/search`), 2,379+ used electric guitars, 7,000+ used items total.

Both sources are public web data; only factual product information (name, price, brand, stock status) is collected.

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).
