## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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

### 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
