Rakuten Japan Scraper

🛍️ Rakuten Japan Scraper

Scrape products from Rakuten Ichiba (楽天市場), Japan's largest online marketplace, by keyword, genre, shop or item URL. Each product comes with its yen price, Rakuten points, shipping fee, shop, review score and count, tags and images. You can also add item details (every variation with its own price and stock, the description, breadcrumbs) and customer reviews. No login, no Rakuten API key, and about 500 products in under 10 seconds.

✨ Why use Rakuten Japan Scraper?

• ⚡ Fast: reads Rakuten's own search data over plain HTTP, 45 products per page, several pages at a time.
• 🇯🇵 Japanese kept as-is: names, shops, tags and reviews stay in the original Japanese, and prices are plain numbers in yen.
• 🧭 Every way in: keywords, genre IDs, category pages, whole shop catalogs, single item pages and review pages.
• 🧩 Variations included: with item details turned on, each SKU comes with its options (size, colour…), price, stock, JAN code and image.
• 💬 Reviews as rows: rating, title, text, date, reviewer age range and gender, purchase purpose and photos.
• 💸 Cheap: $1.00 per 1,000 products, and no account or API key to manage.

💰 Pricing

You pay per saved row, plus a small amount of platform usage (compute and proxy traffic, typically a few cents per thousand products):

• Product: $1.00 per 1,000 products.
• Product with item details (when "Include item details" is on): $3.00 per 1,000 products.
• Review: $1.00 per 1,000 reviews.

Example: 1,000 products from a keyword search cost about $1.00 plus a cent or two of usage. With item details it is about $3.00. You can cap the spend of any run with the maximum total charge setting, and the run stops cleanly when the cap is reached.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Rakuten? The scraper only reads public pages that anyone can open without logging in. Check that your use of the data follows Rakuten's terms and the law where you live, especially for personal data in reviews.

Do I need a Rakuten account, API key or my own proxy? No. The run uses the platform's proxies. Datacenter proxies are the default, and the scraper moves to Japanese residential proxies by itself if Rakuten blocks them.

How many products can I get? Rakuten shows up to 6,750 products (150 pages) per search. With no limit set, the scraper repeats a large search in other sort orders to collect more. To get everything in a big category, split it into narrower genres or price ranges.

Why are some fields empty? Shops fill in different data. A product without reviews has reviewScore 0, and fields such as brand, coupons or sale are empty when the shop does not set them. Item-page fields appear only with "Include item details".

Can I schedule it or use it via API? Yes. Save a task, schedule it, and read the dataset over the API or with integrations.

Is the text translated? No. All text stays in the original Japanese, exactly as Rakuten shows it. Prices are numbers in yen.
