## 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.

# README

## Audiogon Used HiFi Marketplace Scraper

Scrape used HiFi and audiophile equipment listings from [Audiogon.com](https://www.audiogon.com), the leading peer-to-peer marketplace for high-end audio equipment. Extract listings across all categories including amplifiers, speakers, DACs, turntables, cables, headphones, tubes, and more.

### What data you'll get

Each listing record includes:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `listing_id` | Unique Audiogon listing slug/ID |
| `title` | Listing title (e.g. "VAC Statement 450S Tube Amplifier") |
| `price_usd` | Asking price in USD |
| `condition` | Equipment condition (Mint, Excellent, Very Good, etc.) |
| `category` | Category slug (amplifiers-receivers, speakers, etc.) |
| `listing_url` | Full URL to the listing page |
| `image_urls` | Array of listing image URLs |
| `seller_location` | Seller city/location if shown on card |
| `listed_at` | Listing date/time if available |
| `scraped_at` | ISO timestamp when the record was scraped |
| `description` | Full listing description (when fetchDetails is enabled) |
| `seller_username` | Seller Audiogon username (when fetchDetails is enabled) |
| `seller_feedback_count` | Number of seller transactions (when fetchDetails is enabled) |

### Input options

| Option | Type | Description | Default |
|--------|------|-------------|---------|
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of listings to scrape | 10 |
| `categories` | array | List of category slugs to scrape. Leave empty for all 16 categories | All categories |
| `fetchDetails` | boolean | Visit each listing page to get description, seller info, and more images (slower) | false |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy configuration (residential proxy required — Audiogon is CF-protected) | Residential |

#### Available categories

`accessories`, `amplifiers-receivers`, `analog`, `cables`, `computer-audio`, `da-converters`, `digital`, `furniture`, `headphones`, `home-theater`, `integrateds`, `music`, `power`, `speakers`, `tubes-valves`, `vinyl`

### Usage notes

- **Cloudflare protection**: Audiogon uses Cloudflare Managed Challenge (Turnstile). This actor automatically handles CF bypass using CapSolver. Residential proxy is required and included by default.
- **Listing count**: Audiogon displays approximately 20 listings per page. The `maxItems` parameter controls the total number scraped across all requested categories.
- **Images**: Card-view images are lazy-loaded and may appear as 1x1 placeholders in listing-only mode. Enable `fetchDetails: true` to get full gallery images from listing detail pages.
- **Pagination**: The actor follows pagination links automatically up to 100 pages per category.

### Example output

```json
{
  "listing_id": "lisb61ei-vac-statement-450s-tube",
