What does Mercari Japan Scraper do?

This Actor collects listing data from any Mercari Japan search or category URL. It extracts the listing data directly as the webpage loads, so you get the complete set of product details.

It supports keyword search with filters for price range, sort order, and listing status (on_sale, sold_out, trading). Scrolling and page transitions are handled automatically, and the run stops when your selected limit is reached.

Why use Mercari Japan Scraper?

Mercari is a massive peer-to-peer secondhand marketplace. Resellers and pricing analysts require stable access to listing and completed-sales data:

• Cross-border resale research: Check sold-vs-active status, condition, and seller IDs before sourcing items to flip on eBay, Mercari US, or Depop. No special browser extensions required.
• Pricing intelligence: Pull JPY prices at scale for electronics, streetwear, anime, and vintage fashion. Feed into a spreadsheet with a live exchange rate formula to get USD equivalents in one step.
• Data pipelines: Drop output directly into Google Sheets, Excel, or automated tools for market snapshots.
• Brand and competitor monitoring: Track how specific brands or items move through the secondhand market. Run on a schedule to detect changes and price shifts over time.

Data table

Pricing

Running this Actor costs approximately $3.99 per 1,000 results. A run of 500 listings typically finishes in 2-3 minutes.

Mercari caps search results at around 3,000 items per query. For broader coverage, run multiple keyword or category URLs in one session using the startUrls input.

Tips

• Use proxies in production: Enable Apify Proxy for production runs. Without a proxy, Mercari Japan may block search requests in large batches.
• Validate first: Set limit to 20-50 to check field coverage before committing to a full run.
• Multiple keywords: Add several search URLs to startUrls to cover multiple keywords in one run. The Actor deduplicates results across URLs automatically.
• Scheduling: Use Apify's built-in Scheduler to run recurring snapshots of the listings.
• Sold listings: Set status to ["sold_out"] to pull completed-sale data for price comps.
