AtHome Japan Scraper [$1.5/1K💰] | Rent | Sale | Listings

AtHome Japan Real Estate Scraper

Extract rental and sale property listings from at home (athome.co.jp) — rent and management fee, deposit and key money, layout, floor area, floor, building age, address, nearest station and walk time, agency name and phone, photos, move-in cost and GPS coordinates — as structured JSON, from $1.5 per 1,000 listings.

Built for:

• Japan rental market research and price monitoring
• Relocation and expat-housing platforms
• Real-estate investors pricing Tokyo and Osaka wards
• Lead generation from listing agency contacts
• Building structured property databases with coordinates

Extract AtHome Listings For Japan Rental Market Research

Give the actor a listing type and a prefecture (for example rent + tokyo), optionally narrowed to a ward slug such as shibuya-city, and it walks the result pages until maxListings is reached. Each row is one room for rent or one building for sale, with prices already normalised to integer yen — 17.7万円 becomes 177000 — plus deposit and key money as both text (敷金/礼金) and month counts, so you can filter and sort without parsing Japanese strings.

How It Works

For each result page the Actor parses the Angular server-state JSON embedded in the HTML, which carries 30 rooms per request. With details enabled it calls AtHome's own BFF endpoint for rent, initial costs, agency phone, full photo list and coordinates.

Prices are normalized to integer yen and Japanese deposit and key-money text is translated into month counts. Each row covers one room or building with layout, area, floor, age, station access and address.

This is a pure HTTP/JSON actor on 256 MB of memory — no browser, no rendering:

1. Listing pages — athome.co.jp/chintai/{prefecture}/list/page{N}/ is an Angular Universal page whose entire result set is embedded in a <script id="serverApp-state"> JSON blob; the actor parses first-view-ITEMS.data.propertyListData.propertyList directly (30 rooms per request). Sale listings (/mansion/…, /kodate/…) use the same pattern under bukkenData.bukkenList.
2. Detail JSON API — for each listing the actor calls the site's own BFF endpoint csite-bff/rent-living/property-detail/first-view?bukkenNo={id}&…, which returns data.propertyData with rent info, initial costs, the agency card (kaiinInfo, including phone), surrounding info (lat/lng) and the full image list. No cookies or login are required. Sale listings are enriched from their detail page's serverApp-state blob instead.

The site may present a Geetest challenge to aggressive datacenter traffic, so keep concurrency low on large runs and enable Apify Proxy (residential recommended) for volume.

Automate Japan Property Monitoring With Schedules & Webhooks

• Daily rent monitoring: schedule listingType: rent for a ward and diff consecutive runs on listingId to catch new listings, rent cuts and what left the market.
• Weekly price-per-m² tracking: keep includeDetails: false for the cheapest sweep of whole prefectures, then enrich only the areas that moved.
• Investor deal alerts: webhook the dataset into Slack or a spreadsheet and filter sale listings by priceYen and areaM2.
• Relocation feeds: pipe a daily scheduled run into an expat-housing site or CRM; recurring runs also improve this actor's Store recommendation signals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use this actor instead of the official API?

AtHome (athome.co.jp) does not publish a public listings API. What the site does offer — the internal BFF endpoint and the embedded Angular SSR state — is exactly what this actor reads, over plain HTTP with no browser and no login. Third-party paid wrappers around AtHome listings exist (for example per-lookup credit APIs), but they are an added dependency and cost; this actor is the direct, pay-per-result route.

What are the alternatives to scraping AtHome?

1. Other Japan property portals — SUUMO (Japan's #1 portal, ~70,000+ rentals in Tokyo alone) and LIFULL HOME'S (#3) are the standard cross-checks, and several Apify actors cover them (see Related Actors).
2. Third-party paid property APIs that wrap AtHome/SUUMO listings, billed per lookup — convenient but priced per call.
3. Agency direct feeds and licensed data for institutional users.
4. Scraping the public pages, which is what this actor does at a fraction of a cent per listing.

Is there a free AtHome API?

No. There is no free and no documented public AtHome developer API. This actor reads the same embedded JSON the site's own frontend uses, and free Apify accounts get a 10-listing preview, paid accounts the full run up to maxListings.

How do I search a specific ward or city?

Set prefecture to the roman prefecture slug and city to the AtHome city/ward slug — shibuya-city, shinjuku-city, suginami-city, osaka-city-kita-ku and so on. Leave city empty to sweep the whole prefecture.

Is the rent price normalised?

Yes. rentYen, priceYen, managementFeeYen and initialCostYen are integers in yen (the actor converts 万円 to yen for you), while rentText/priceText/managementFeeText keep the original string. Deposit and key money come as both deposit/keyMoney text and depositMonths/keyMoneyMonths counts.

Does it cover sale listings, not just rentals?

Yes — listingType: sale-mansion covers condominiums and sale-house covers detached houses. Sale records populate priceYen/priceText instead of rent, and are enriched from the detail page's SSR state.

Do I need a proxy?

Not for small runs. The embedded JSON and BFF endpoints answer plain HTTP requests; for large or high-frequency runs enable Apify Proxy (residential recommended) because the site can present a Geetest challenge to heavy datacenter traffic.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: returns at home (athome.co.jp) rental and sale property listings for a Japanese prefecture (optionally a ward), one row per room/building, with yen-normalised prices, deposit/key money, layout, area, station access, agency contact, photos and coordinates.

Minimal input:

{ "listingType": "rent", "prefecture": "tokyo", "maxListings": 20 }

Cheap sweep variant (no detail requests):

{ "listingType": "rent", "prefecture": "osaka", "maxListings": 100, "includeDetails": false }

Output fields: listingId, url, listingType, propertyType, buildingType, title, buildingName, rentYen, rentText, priceYen, priceText, managementFeeYen, managementFeeText, deposit, depositMonths, keyMoney, keyMoneyMonths, layout, areaM2, floor, buildingAge, buildingAgeYears, address, ward, city, prefecture, nearestStation, line, walkMinutes, access, agentName, agencyPhone, agencyAddress, agencyUrl, photos, photoDetails, imageCount, initialCostYen, coordinates, scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• listingType and prefecture are required; city is optional and narrows to a ward.
• maxListings counts rooms for rentals and buildings for sale; pages are read lazily, so a cap of 100 usually needs one request.
• includeDetails: true adds one request and one billed listing-detail event per listing; set it false for the cheapest possible sweep (agency phone stays null).
• If a detail request fails, the list-page record is still pushed and the detail event is not charged.
• Free accounts get a 10-listing preview regardless of maxListings.

Billing: pay-per-event — result $0.0015 per listing, listing-detail $0.0005 per enriched listing, plus an Actor start event; free accounts get a 10-listing preview.
