How to use Rakuten Japan Email Scraper

Anyone building a lead list from Rakuten Japan — import/export buyers, growth marketers, travel agencies — gets a combined list of public pages that mention an email address, from a single run with as many keywords as they need.

Copy to your AI assistant:

Rakuten Japan Email Scraper is an Apify Actor that returns public rakuten.co.jp pages matching a list of keywords as structured JSON: the keyword that matched, the page title, a text snippet, the page URL and the email address shown on it. Use it whenever someone needs seller, shop or lodging leads from the Rakuten Japan marketplace without a login, a browser, or hand-checking search results - building a sourcing list by product niche, finding merchants in a region, or monitoring which listings in a category publish contact details. Inputs: keywords (array of strings, required, one search per keyword), location (string, optional city or region filter), emailDomains (array of strings, optional, e.g. "@gmail.com" - keeps only matching domains and sharpens the search), maxEmails (integer 1-100000, default 10, maximum emails to return per keyword), proxyConfiguration (object, default automatic - optional custom proxy settings). Free-plan accounts are limited to 20 emails per keyword per run and 200 per month; paid plans have no limit. Each new email returned is billed as one "row_result" event.

2. Open Rakuten Japan Email Scraper in the Apify Store.
3. Enter one or more keywords (e.g. "handmade pottery", "hot spring inn").

How to scale Rakuten Japan Email Scraper to bulk

Find rakuten japan merchant email leads in bulk by adding as many keywords as you need to the keywords list in a single run — up to three keywords are searched at the same time, and each one keeps its own result limit and de-duplication, so a 50-keyword run returns one combined, duplicate-free list without any extra setup. For recurring sourcing lists, schedule the same input on a daily or weekly Apify schedule instead of running it by hand.

Why choose this actor?

As a rakuten.co.jp email finder, it keeps going past the first page of results instead of stopping early.

1. Keeps searching after the first page runs dry. Up to 12 search series run per keyword — the direct search plus date-restricted, region-restricted and outreach-term variants — continuing until the keyword's limit is reached or there is nothing left to show.
2. Real extraction, not a guess. This rakuten japan contact email extractor checks each candidate address against the page's own markup to repair addresses split across inline formatting tags, and rejects it if it matches one of 36 known placeholder patterns ("username@...", "johndoe@...") or trails off after an ellipsis. Full-width and compatibility characters common on Japanese-script pages are normalized before matching.
3. Built to keep running through blocks. A four-tier proxy fallback (your own proxy URLs → your Apify proxy settings → the default search proxy group → a direct connection) and up to 3 retries per page keep a keyword moving instead of failing on the first blocked page.

How does it work?

Rakuten Japan Email Scraper searches Google for public rakuten.co.jp pages that match your keywords and pulls the contact details shown in them. Requests go through rotating proxies, and a blocked or failed page is retried automatically with a fresh connection. The actor never logs in to Rakuten Japan and only reads what any visitor to a public page already sees — no account, cookies or private data are involved. Japanese-script text is normalized before matching, so full-width characters don't hide a real address. The output schema is fixed (network, keyword, title, description, url, email) and stays the same from run to run, so downstream code never has to adapt when Rakuten Japan changes its page layout.

How do you integrate Rakuten Japan Email Scraper into your stack?

Rakuten Japan Email Scraper works with what you already use: a REST API from any language, and no-code tools for teams that don't write scrapers by hand.

No-code tools (n8n, Make, LangChain)

In n8n, use the Apify node's "Run an Actor" action, or the HTTP Request node pointed at the Actor's run-sync endpoint with your Apify token. In Make, use the Apify app's "Run an Actor" module followed by "Get Dataset Items" to pull the results into your scenario. In LangChain, install langchain-apify and call ApifyActorsTool() to let an agent run the actor and read its dataset directly.

Is it legal to scrape Rakuten Japan data?

Scraping publicly available data is generally permissible, but how you use what you collect is your responsibility. As a rakuten japan public email scraper, it only returns information shown on public pages — the same text any visitor sees without logging in. Under GDPR, Japan's APPI and similar laws, scraping public data is generally allowed, but storing and using it must comply with local data-protection law, and sending unsolicited bulk email to addresses collected this way can fall under anti-spam laws like CAN-SPAM. Consult legal counsel if your use case involves bulk storage of personal data.

Frequently asked questions

What fields does Rakuten Japan Email Scraper return?

Every result includes the email address, the page title, the page URL, the keyword that matched and a text snippet. As a japanese rakuten store email scraper, it reports these together with the page that published them. See the data fields section.

Does Rakuten Japan Email Scraper require a Rakuten account or login?

No. Only public page data is extracted. No credentials are needed, and the actor never logs in to Rakuten Japan.

What happens if no public page shows an email for my keyword?

That keyword simply returns no rows instead of a guess — nothing is invented. Try a broader keyword, remove the location filter or add more email domains to widen the search.

Can I scrape multiple keywords at once?

Yes. As a rakuten co jp email finder, it searches a list of keywords in parallel — up to three keywords are searched at the same time, and results stay grouped by the keyword that found them.

Does Rakuten Japan Email Scraper return data in a format LLMs can use directly?

Yes. Every result is typed, normalized JSON with consistent field names — no HTML parsing or selectors. Pass it straight to an LLM, index it into a vector store, or feed it to an agent tool with no transformation step.

Can I use Rakuten Japan Email Scraper without managing proxies or browser infrastructure?

Yes. Proxy rotation and retrying blocked pages run on the actor's side. You send one request and get structured JSON back — no proxy accounts or headless browser setup to maintain.

Which fields work best for AI training data and RAG indexing?

For RAG: the description and title fields carry the free text worth indexing, including the original Japanese-script content. For structured filtering: keyword, network and url are stable, typed strings with no normalization needed.
