Reverb Musical Instruments Scraper
Scrape Reverb musical instrument listings by search query, category, condition, or location, up to a million per run. Every listing comes with its price, condition, seller, and photos. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Reverb's official API needs an app registration, OAuth, and rate-limits you. This reads the public listing feeds directly, filtered by search query, category, condition, or seller location, and returns each match in one fixed schema. Perfect for vintage-gear flippers, music store competitive pricing, and instrument insurance.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Reverb for |
|---|---|
| Vintage gear flippers | Which instruments are underpriced right now |
| Music store owners | Competitive pricing for the same models |
| Market researchers | What brands and models are trending |
| Instrument insurers | Current market value for claims |
| Data analysts | Historical price trends for forecasting |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your search query and filters. Make sure the category slug and condition are valid. Also, try increasing maxItems or changing the page number.
Why are some listings missing fields?
Not all listings have every field populated. For example, some sellers may not provide a condition or location. The Actor returns whatever is available.
Why is the run slow?
Scraping many pages takes time. Reduce maxItems or perPage to speed up the run. You can also run multiple instances in parallel.
Why did I get a timeout error?
The website may be slow or blocking requests. Try again later or adjust the proxy settings in the Actor's options.
Can I scrape sold listings?
No, this Actor only scrapes active listings. Sold listings are not publicly accessible in the same way.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need a Reverb API key? | No. This Actor scrapes the public Reverb website directly, so no registration or API key is required. |
| Can I filter by price range? | The current input schema does not include a price range filter. You can filter by search query, category, condition, and location, then filter the results by price in your own code. |
| How many listings can I scrape in one run? | You can set maxItems up to 1,000,000. The Actor will stop after collecting that many listings. |
| What export formats are supported? | You can export the results to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform. |
| Can I scrape a specific seller's listings? | The input schema does not have a seller filter. You can search by keyword or category and then filter by seller in the output. |
| Does this work for international Reverb sites? | The Actor scrapes reverb.com. You can filter by location (city or ZIP code) to find local sellers, but the site is primarily US-based. |
| How often should I run this Actor? | It depends on your use case. For price monitoring, daily runs are common. For market research, weekly or monthly may suffice. |
| Can I get historical data? | This Actor only scrapes current listings. To build historical data, run it regularly and store the results. |
| Is it legal to scrape Reverb? | Scraping public data is generally allowed, but you should review Reverb's terms of service and comply with any applicable laws. |
| What if I get blocked? | The Actor uses Apify's proxy infrastructure to reduce blocking. If you experience issues, try reducing the number of requests or using a different proxy configuration. |
