## Pricing

from $0.80 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### How to scrape supported list pages

This Actor accepts individual product links in `productUrls`. It accepts category pages, filtered result pages, search result pages, and seller pages in `categoryUrls`.

1. Open a supported list page in your browser.
2. Choose a category, apply the filters, run a search, and open a seller page you need.
3. Copy the final URL from the address bar and paste it into `categoryUrls`.

The Actor follows the products shown on that page.

### Features

- Scrapes detailed auction listing information from Yahoo Auctions Japan product pages
- Accepts individual product URLs and category pages, filtered result pages, search result pages, and seller pages
- Lets you limit the number of saved products and choose whether to continue through additional result pages
- Returns structured current prices and bid activity, auction timing and condition, seller details, and descriptions and full-size images for viewing, export, and analysis

### Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Its running costs are included.

- **Actor start:** $0.02 once per run — One fixed charge for starting a run.
- **Result:** $0.00089 each ($0.89 per 1,000) — A product record collected directly from a supported list page.
- **Product detail:** $0.00199 each ($1.99 per 1,000) — A full product record collected from its product page.

The start charge applies once per run. Each saved product is charged either as a Result or a Product detail, never both.

| Results in one run | Result | Product detail |
| ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 100 | $0.11 | $0.22 |
| 1,000 | $0.91 | $2.01 |

[Apify's Free plan](https://apify.com/pricing) currently includes $5 in monthly usage credits. If the full $5 is available for this Actor, one run covers about 5,595 Results or 2,502 Product details. Other Apify usage reduces the available credit.

### Input

The Actor accepts the following input parameters:

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `productUrls` | array | Product URLs to scrape |
| `categoryUrls` | array | Supported list pages: category pages, filtered result pages, search result pages, and seller pages |
| `maxResultsPerScrape` | integer | Maximum number of product records to save |
| `usePagination` | boolean | Whether to continue through additional result pages |
| `scrapeProductDetails` | boolean | Enabled returns Product detail records with the product-page fields listed below. Disabled returns Result records with the list-level fields. |

### What data you get in each mode

Every saved product is stored as one record. `scrapeProductDetails` decides which mode you receive; the lists below name every field each mode can return. A field is empty when the website does not show that information.

#### Result

A list-level product record with 12 declared fields:

`url`, `product_id`, `name`, `price`, `buy_now_price`, `currency`, `sku`, `main_image`, `bid_count`, `auction_end`, `canonical_url`, `scraped_at`

#### Product detail

A full product record with 33 declared fields:

`url`, `product_id`, `name`, `price`, `currency`, `in_stock`, `sku`, `brand`, `category`, `breadcrumbs`, `breadcrumb_urls`, `main_image`, `images`, `description`, `description_html`, `seller_name`, `seller_url`, `canonical_url`, `scraped_at`, `auction_end`, `auction_start`, `bid_count`, `bidder_count`, `condition`, `quantity`, `returns_accepted`, `seller_location`, `seller_rating_count`, `seller_rating_percentage`, `shipping_payer`, `starting_price`, `buy_now_price`, `watch_count`

### Output Example (full)

The Actor stores one structured record per product. Card-only records contain only fields available on the list; detail-only fields are omitted.

### Use Cases

- Track auction prices, bid activity, and closing times
- Compare item condition, sellers, and full-size listing images
- Build Japanese auction-market research datasets

### Integrate with AI and automation

#### Use with AI through MCP

Connect your AI assistant to the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp). It can discover and run Actors, then access the results in the same conversation. For example, ask your assistant to scrape a list of products from Yahoo Auctions Japan, compare prices, or summarize the collected data.

#### Run on a schedule

After one successful run, use [Apify Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/schedules) to repeat the same task hourly, daily, weekly, or with a custom cron schedule. Saved tasks are useful when you want to keep the same URLs and settings for every run.

#### Connect with n8n

[Create an n8n account](https://n8n.partnerlinks.io/ezvl1qy3f990) and add the verified Apify node to a workflow. Choose **Run an Actor and Get Dataset** when the workflow should start this Actor, wait for completion, and receive the product rows for the next node. See the [Apify integration for n8n](https://n8n.io/integrations/apify/).

#### Connect with Make

[Create a Make account](https://www.make.com/en/register?pc=vasarmilan) and add the Apify **Run an Actor** module. Follow it with **Get Dataset Items** to pass the product rows to Google Sheets, a database, email, or another Make module. For longer runs, use **Watch Actor Runs** followed by **Get Dataset Items**.

[Read the Make integration guide](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/make).

## MCP server setup

        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
