A plain-HTTP, no-proxy Apify Actor that extracts public rental listings
from SUUMO (suumo.jp, Recruit) — Japan's largest property portal — into a
single normalized record shape: rent in integer JPY, management fee, area,
layout, nearest station and walking minutes, address, images and listing URL.
Access lane (verified live 2026-09-30, issue #213)
- The chintai ichiran list page serves the full server-rendered result set
over plain HTTP with a browser-grade User-Agent — no proxy, no browser,
no challenge. Probe:
?ar=030&bs=040&ta=13&pc=50→ 200, 688 KB, ~3,906 cassette-item markers;&page=2→ 200, 554 KB, ~3,263 markers. - No captcha markers, no wall. The Store incumbents (
fatihtahta/suumo-japan-scraper,sian.agency/suumo) scrape the same data through residential proxies — this lane gets it at $0 datacenter egress. - URL grammar (the incumbents' stable contract):
/jj/chintai/ichiran/FR301FC001/?ar={area}&bs={business}&ta={todo}&pc={perPage}.bs=040is the rental business code,pc=50fixes 50 entries/page; page 1 is the bare URL and pages 2+ append&page=N. - The list page carries only
BreadcrumbListJSON-LD, so the cassette HTML is the source of truth (no JSON-LD extraction needed).
Input
prefecture—13Tokyo (default),12Chiba,11Saitama,14Kanagawa. Each code pins the site's JIS prefecture code (ta) and its parent region (ar=030, Kanto) by construction.maxPages— 1–5 list pages (50 entries per page, default 1)maxResults— 1–200 room adverts (default 50)requestDelaySecs— 0.5–10 s between page requests (default 1.0)
Output (dataset)
One record per room advert (a building with several rooms yields several rows):
| field | notes |
|---|---|
listing_key | stable composite key suumo.jp:{prefecture}:{url}|{layout}|{area}|{rent} — dedupe on this |
url | room detail URL (falls back to the building page when a room row carries no own link) |
building_name | 建物名 from the cassette cassetteitem_content-title text (never a 詳細を見る link label) |
address | 所在地 from the cassette detail block |
property_type | 賃貸マンション / 賃貸アパート / … |
layout | 間取り (1LDK, 2DK, ワンルーム, …) |
area_m2 | 専有面積 in m² |
rent_jpy | monthly rent normalized from 万円 (8.3万円 → 83000) |
management_fee_jpy | 管理費 in JPY when quoted |
nearest_station / walk_min | station from 交通 (slash form ＪＲ中央線/八王子駅) and 歩N分 / 徒歩N分 on the nearest line (null on bus-only lines) |
images | cassette image URLs (lazy-load placeholders excluded) |
prefecture / prefecture_code / source / scraped_at | request scope + provenance |
Example input
Notes
- A persistent 403 raises
BlockErrorimmediately (there is no proxy lane to rotate onto): a wall on >50 % of requests is the issue's kill criterion — close the lane with evidence rather than silently retrying. - The four Kanto prefectures are the probe-verified minimum. Another region
means probing and pinning its
arcode first — never guessing it. - Not yet deployed (no Apify credentials in the build environment); push with
apify pushfrom this folder when deploying.
Cost
~0.6–0.7 MB HTML per page, no proxy: ≈ $0.0002–0.0004 per default (1-page) run, ≈ $0.001 at the 5-page cap. The incumbents' residential lanes are replaced by $0 datacenter egress.
