Mercari Japan Scraper

🛍️ Mercari Japan Scraper

Scrape listings from Mercari Japan (メルカリ), Japan's biggest flea-market app, by keyword, category, brand, price, condition and status, or straight from search, item, seller and shop URLs. Every listing comes with its yen price, on-sale or sold status, condition, brand, category, shipping terms, seller, photos and auction data. Turn on item details to add the description, likes, comments, shipping method and origin, and the seller's rating. No login and no Mercari account: hundreds of listings in a few seconds.

✨ Why use Mercari Japan Scraper?

• 🧭 Every way in: keywords, search URLs with all their filters, category and brand IDs, seller profiles, Mercari Shops stores and single item URLs.

💰 Pricing

$3.50 per 1,000 listings ($0.0035 per listing), with or without item details. Platform usage (compute and proxy traffic) is charged on top and is tiny: well under a cent per 1,000 listings from searches, and about a cent per 1,000 with item details.

Example: 1,000 sold listings for a keyword cost about $3.50. You can cap any run with the maximum total charge setting, and the run stops cleanly when the cap is reached.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Mercari? The scraper only reads public listings that anyone can see without logging in. Make sure your use of the data follows Mercari's terms and the law where you live, especially for seller names.

Do I need a Mercari account or my own proxy? No. There is no login. The run uses the platform's datacenter proxies by default and moves to Japanese residential proxies by itself if needed.

How many listings can I get? As many as Mercari shows. Mercari serves about 10,000 results per search, so for bigger pulls the scraper repeats the search in other sort orders and skips duplicates. Price ranges or categories split a search further.

Why is a field empty? Some fields only exist for some listings (auction fields, sizes, brand), and the description, likes and seller rating need Include item details. Mercari Shops listings have a shop instead of a seller.

Can I translate titles to English? Titles and descriptions stay in the original Japanese. Condition comes in both Japanese and English, and brands come with their English name where Mercari has one.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs in the console, or start them and read the dataset through the API.
