Oliveyoung Scraper — K-Beauty Search in Olive Young's Own Popularity Order

Scrape Olive Young (oliveyoung.co.kr) — Korea's #1 health & beauty retailer and the place where K-beauty trends are born. Search any keyword or brand and get clean, structured JSON with prices, discounts, ratings, review counts, and English brand names, ordered by Olive Young's own popularity ranking.

Olive Young is where Korean consumers actually buy their skincare and makeup — over 1,300 stores plus the dominant online mall. If a product ranks here, it is trending in Korea months before it reaches global marketplaces. This Actor gives you that signal without needing Korean language skills, a Korean IP, or manual browsing.

How it works

Search products by keyword — Korean or English both work (선크림, sunscreen, toner, anua, mediheal...). Returns rich data straight from Olive Young's own search API, including ratings (out of 5 and 10), review counts, English brand names, and sold-out / coupon / today's-special flags. Results are ordered by Olive Young's popularity ranking, so the first results for a category keyword are effectively that category's current top sellers.

A dedicated official best-sellers ranking mode (top 100 per category) is coming in the next version.

Why this Actor

• Built by a Korean marketing practitioner — I use Olive Young and the Korean beauty market daily, so the data model reflects how the platform actually works (기획 bundles, 올영픽 picks, 오늘드림 quick delivery, coupon layers)
• Fast and affordable — no headless browser; runs on lightweight HTTP with smart session handling
• English-friendly — English brand names included; keywords work in English or Korean

📅 Pull a whole category every week (bulk & scheduled use)

Most teams don't need one search — they need the same 10–30 category keywords every week, so they can see what moved. Here is the setup that costs a few dollars a month and needs no code:

1. Enter your keyword list (one per line — e.g. 선크림, 토너, 세럼, 앰플, 클렌징, 쿠션, 립틴트, 마스크팩) and set Max items high enough for everything you want, e.g. 3000.
2. Click Save as task on a finished run, then open the task's Schedule tab and pick weekly (Monday 09:00 KST is a good time — Olive Young's weekly sale starts Monday).
3. In the task's Integrations tab, send each run to Google Sheets, S3, a webhook or Slack. Every run lands as a new dated dataset, so week-over-week comparison is a lookup on goodsNo.

What it costs: $4 per 1,000 products, platform usage included. 2,000 products a week ≈ $8 a week; a full 20-keyword weekly sweep at ~3,000 products ≈ $12 a week. There is no cap on run size — the Actor pages through Olive Young's results automatically.

Need 10,000+ products a month or a custom setup (specific categories, brand lists, deduplication, price-change alerts)? Open an issue on this Actor and tell me what you're tracking — I can set up the task for you or adjust the Actor.

Q&A

How do I scrape Olive Young (oliveyoung.co.kr)? Run this Actor with a keyword or brand name. It calls Olive Young's own search API and returns every matching product as structured data — no browser automation, no Korean IP, no login. A 100-product run takes about 10 seconds.

Does Olive Young have a public API? No. Olive Young offers no official public API for product data. This Actor is the practical alternative: it returns the same data the website shows (prices, discounts, ratings, review counts, brand, category, flags) as JSON, CSV or Excel, and you can call it over the Apify REST API like any other API.

How do I find the best-selling K-beauty products in Korea? Search a category keyword such as 선크림 (sunscreen), 토너 (toner), 세럼 (serum) or 쿠션 (cushion). Results come back in Olive Young's own popularity order, so the first rows are that category's current top sellers, with reviewCount and rating to confirm.

Can I search in English? Yes. English brand names (anua, cosrx, round lab, mediheal) and common product words work. Korean category keywords return more results. Every product includes brandEn, the brand's English name.

How do I track Olive Young prices and discounts over time? Save your input as a task and schedule it daily or weekly. Each run stores originalPrice, salePrice, discountRate, hasCoupon and isTodaySpecial, so you can chart price history and promotions in Google Sheets or a BI tool.

How do I get the reviews for these products? Pass the goodsNo values to my Olive Young Reviews Scraper — it returns every review with the reviewer's skin type, skin tone and concerns.

Are prices in USD? Prices are in KRW exactly as shown on the site (₩1,400 ≈ US$1).

🤖 Use it from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent (MCP)

This Actor works as a tool for AI agents through the Apify MCP server. Add this server URL to Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client and the agent can call the Actor by itself:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=cocomoon/oliveyoung-scraper

Then just ask in plain language — for example: "Find the 20 most popular toners on Olive Young right now and show price, discount and review count."

FAQ

Can I schedule it? Yes — use Apify Schedules to run it daily/weekly and feed the dataset anywhere (Sheets, S3, webhook, MCP/AI agent).
