Why this data is valuable

• Vintage market pricing — Emerald City is one of the best-known vintage dealers in the US; their asking prices are a reference point for '50s–'70s Fender, Gibson and Martin values.
• Sold comps — sold listings stay in the feed, so you can track what actually moved.
• Dealer inventory monitoring — get notified when a new vintage piece drops (run on a schedule).
• Arbitrage & sourcing — compare against Reverb, eBay and auction results.

Input

All fields are optional — run it with no input to get the whole catalog.

{
    "searchQueries": ["stratocaster", "1959 les paul"],
    "collections": ["amps", "acoustics-martin"],
    "maxItems": 200,
    "onlyAvailable": false,
    "minPrice": 1000,
    "maxPrice": 50000
}

• searchQueries — keywords matched against title, brand, year, category and tags. Empty = everything.
• collections — scrape specific store collections by handle (e.g. amps, vintage-showcase, bass-fender, acoustics-martin) instead of the whole store.
• maxItems — cap the number of results (0 = all, ~400 listings).
• onlyAvailable — true to skip sold items.
• minPrice / maxPrice — USD price window.

Usage tips

• Schedule a daily run with onlyAvailable: true and diff against the previous dataset to catch fresh arrivals.

• Combine with a Reverb or eBay sold-listings scraper to spot under/over-priced instruments.

FAQ

Does it need a proxy? No — the actor reads the store's public product feed directly.

How fast is it? The full catalog (~400 listings) returns in a few seconds.

Is this legal? The actor only collects publicly available product listing data (titles, prices, photos' URLs). No personal data is collected.
