## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Reverb Scraper - Music Gear Listings & Prices

Scrape [Reverb](https://reverb.com) music-gear listings - guitars, basses, pedals, synths,
amps, drums and pro audio - straight from Reverb's **documented public REST API**. Search
by keyword and condition, or paste a Reverb search URL, and get clean, structured JSON for
every listing: price, shipping, make/model/year/finish, condition, seller, categories,
photos and the canonical listing URL.

### Why this Actor

- **Real API, not brittle HTML.** Pulls from `https://api.reverb.com/api/listings` (HAL+JSON,
  API version 3.0). No CSS selectors to rot, no headless browser, no per-listing detail
  requests - fast and cheap.
- **Rich, normalized fields.** Price split into amount + currency, condition normalized to a
  human label *and* a machine slug, shipping resolved to a USD figure, plus category paths,
  photos, offers-enabled and the canonical `reverb.com/item/...` URL.
- **Precise targeting.** Keyword `query` + `condition` filter, or paste your own Reverb
  search URL (marketplace or API) and let the Actor lift the parameters out of it.
- **Clean pagination & dedup.** Follows the API's `_links.next` and de-duplicates by listing
  id, so you get exactly `maxItems` unique listings.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | array | Reverb search URLs (`api.reverb.com/api/listings...` or `reverb.com/marketplace?query=...`). If empty, `query` + `condition` are used. |
| `query` | string | Keyword search, e.g. `fender stratocaster`. Empty query browses all live listings. |
| `condition` | enum | `all` (default), `used`, or `new`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Stop after this many listings (default 100). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify Proxy (datacenter) - Reverb's public API is open, so no residential proxy is needed. |

#### Input example

```json
{
    "query": "fender telecaster",
    "condition": "used",
    "maxItems": 200,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
````

Or with a pasted search URL:

```json
{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://reverb.com/marketplace?query=tube%20screamer&condition=used" }
    ],
    "maxItems": 100
}
```

### Output fields

Each dataset record contains:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `id` | Reverb listing id (numeric). Dedup key. |
| `title` | Listing title. |
| `make` | Brand / manufacturer (e.g. `Fender`). |
| `model` | Model name. |
| `year` | Model year as an integer when Reverb provides a plausible 4-digit year, else `null`. |
| `finish` | Colour / finish (may be empty). |
| `condition` | Normalized human condition label (e.g. `Excellent`, `Brand New`). |
| `conditionSlug` | Machine-readable condition slug (e.g. `excellent`, `brand-new`). |
| `price` | `{ "amount": <float>, "currency": "USD" }`. |
| `priceDisplay` | Formatted price string (e.g. `$1,899.52`). |
| `shippingPrice` | Shipping cost as a number (US rate preferred; `0.0` when free expedited shipping). |
| `shippingCurrency` | Currency of `shippingPrice`. |
| `freeExpeditedShipping` | Boolean. |
| `isSold` | `true` when the listing state is sold/ended (public search returns live listings). |
| `soldPrice` | Sold price when present, else `null`. |
| `state` | Listing state slug (e.g. `live`). |
| `sellerName` / `shopName` | Reverb shop name. |
| `shopSlug` | Shop URL slug. |
| `preferredSeller` | Boolean - Reverb "Preferred Seller" flag. |
| `location` | Seller location when Reverb includes it, else `null` (the public search index does not expose per-listing location). |
| `photoUrl` | Primary photo URL. |
| `url` | Canonical `reverb.com/item/...` listing URL. |
| `categories` | List of category paths (e.g. `["Electric Guitars / Solid Body"]`). |
| `createdAt` / `publishedAt` | ISO 8601 timestamps. |
| `offersEnabled` | Boolean - whether the seller accepts offers. |
| `auction` | Boolean. |
| `sku` | Seller SKU when present. |
| `originalPrice` | Original / pre-drop price when present. |
| `listingCurrency` | Seller's native listing currency. |
| `inventory` | Available quantity. |
| `scrapedFrom` | Always `reverb.com`. |

### Notes on data source

- **Endpoint:** `https://api.reverb.com/api/listings?query=<q>&condition=<used|new>&per_page=50`,
  sent with headers `Accept: application/hal+json` and `Accept-Version: 3.0`. Public listing
  search works **without an OAuth token**.
- **Pagination:** the response's `_links.next.href` is followed until it runs out or `maxItems`
  is reached.
- **Scope:** the public search index returns **live** listings; per-listing seller location and
  sold prices are not exposed there and are emitted best-effort (`null` when absent).

### Legal / usage

Public marketplace data for research; not a consumer report, not for FCRA purposes. Respect
Reverb's Terms of Service and use the data responsibly.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more Reverb search URLs. Paste an api.reverb.com/api/listings URL, or a reverb.com marketplace/search URL (e.g. https://reverb.com/marketplace?query=telecaster) - the query & condition are lifted from it automatically. If left empty, the Search query + Condition below are used (empty query browses all live listings).

## `query` (type: `string`):

Keyword search, e.g. "fender stratocaster", "tube screamer", "moog". Used when no Start URL is provided. Leave empty to browse all live listings.

## `condition` (type: `string`):

Filter by item condition. "All" returns both used and new listings.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after collecting this many listings.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Reverb's public API is open, so Apify's default (datacenter) proxy is enough - no residential proxy needed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [],
  "query": "stratocaster",
  "condition": "all",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```
