Andertons Music Co Scraper

Scrape products from Andertons Music Co — the UK's iconic guitar shop (home of "The Captain" on YouTube), selling guitars, basses, amps, pedals, synths, drums, and studio/recording gear. This Actor uses the site's own storefront product API and returns clean, structured product data with UK (GBP) pricing.

What it does

Given one or more search queries (e.g. stratocaster, les paul, boss pedal) and/or category URLs (e.g. /browse/guitar-dept/), the Actor returns matching products with brand, VAT-inclusive GBP pricing, sale/list price, availability, category, SKU, image, and URL.

Great for:

• Price tracking — monitor UK street prices for gear in GBP
• Arbitrage — compare UK vs US/EU pricing on guitars, pedals, and synths
• Market research — catalogue coverage, brand assortment, stock levels
• Deal alerts — find items on sale (onSale: true, listPrice vs price)

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQueries	array of strings	Search terms to scrape. Default: ["stratocaster"]
categoryUrls	array of strings	Optional category pages to scrape, e.g. https://www.andertons.co.uk/browse/guitar-dept/
maxListings	integer	Max products per query/category. 0 = all available (capped at 2000). Default: 100
proxyConfiguration	object	Optional proxy. The storefront API works without a proxy.

Field notes:

• price — current selling price, VAT-inclusive GBP (what a UK customer pays)
• listPrice — original price when the item is on sale, otherwise null
• availability — Available, Unavailable, or Preorder
• category / categoryPath — deepest department category (brand listings excluded)
• Category-sourced records carry sourceCategoryUrl instead of searchQuery

Why this Actor

• Uses the site's own product API — fast, no brittle HTML parsing
• Accurate VAT-inclusive GBP prices including sale prices
• Search and full category browsing with pagination
• Clean, flat records ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, or alerting

Usage tips

• Keep maxListings modest (100–500) for quick runs; large categories can hold thousands of items.
• Combine several targeted queries (brand + model) for the cleanest result sets.
• No proxy needed in normal use.
