## 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

## Reverb Listings Scraper

Scrape **active gear listings** from [Reverb.com](https://reverb.com) — the world's largest online marketplace for musical instruments. Get prices, conditions, sellers, and photos for any guitar, pedal, amp, or piece of gear.

> **Search terms this actor covers:** reverb scraper, reverb.com scraper, reverb listings scraper, reverb price research, used guitar prices, musical instrument price tracker, used gear market data, reseller price research.

---

### What It Does

- Searches Reverb by **keyword**, **make**, or **category**
- Filters by **condition** (mint, excellent, very-good, good, fair, poor), **price range**, and **year range**
- Sorts by newest listings, price, or relevance
- Paginates automatically until `maxItems` is reached
- Extracts structured data: title, make, model, year, condition, price, original price, shop name, category, photo, and listing URL

Uses Reverb's **public REST API** (`api.reverb.com`) — **no browser, no Cloudflare, no proxy required**. Returns clean JSON natively.

---

### Use Cases

| Who | What they do with it |
|---|---|
| **Gear resellers** | Research current market prices before buying or listing an instrument |
| **Musicians** | Track price history for a specific make/model (e.g. Fender Stratocaster) |
| **Shop owners** | Monitor competitor listings and price drops in your category |
| **Price alert builders** | Feed data into a bot that notifies you when a target item drops below a threshold |
| **Developers / analysts** | Build used-gear price databases, dashboards, or trend reports |

### FAQ

**Q: Do I need a Reverb account or API key?**\
No. The actor uses Reverb's public API endpoint (`api.reverb.com/api/listings`) which is accessible without authentication.

**Q: Does it require a proxy or browser automation?**\
No. Reverb's public API returns clean JSON — no Cloudflare, no JavaScript rendering, no CAPTCHA.

**Q: What condition values are supported?**\
Reverb uses: `mint`, `excellent`, `very-good`, `good`, `fair`, `poor`. Pass one of these as the `condition` input.

**Q: Can I scrape a specific category without a keyword?**\
Yes. Set `categorySlug` (e.g. `electric-guitars`, `effects-and-pedals`, `amplifiers`) and leave `query` empty. You can browse Reverb category slugs from the site URL structure.

***

### Notes

- At least one of `query`, `make`, or `categorySlug` is required
- `originalPrice` is `null` when no price-drop has occurred
- `shipping` field may be `null` if the seller hasn't specified shipping terms
- Reverb's API returns up to 50 results per page; the actor paginates automatically
