✨ Features

Rakuten Japan Phone Number Scraper fetches clean, structured phone-number leads from Rakuten Japan. It's ideal for sourcing agencies, dropshipping research, customer-support outreach and building a seller call list — in effect, a rakuten.co.jp phone number finder and rakuten japan phone number lead generation tool in one.

It extracts, per result:

• Phone number – the number, normalised to international E.164 form and checked against the chosen country.
• URL – the exact Rakuten Japan page the number was found on.
• Title – the page title as shown in search results.
• Description – the public text the number appears in, for quick context without opening the page.
• Country / Dial code – the country you searched and its dialling code.

⚡ Full-width Japanese digits and characters are normalised to plain ASCII before the number is matched, so a seller's phone number written in Japanese-script form is still found and validated correctly.

3. 194 countries, one actor. Pick any of 194 countries (or Global for no country filter) and up to 10,000 phone numbers per keyword, with up to 3 keywords searched at the same time — this rakuten japan public phone number scraper covers one shop or a hundred the same way.

How does it work?

This actor searches the public web for Rakuten Japan pages that match your keyword and reads the phone number from whatever text the page's own public listing shows — it never logs into Rakuten Japan or opens a private page. Requests go through rotating proxies and anti-bot handling runs automatically, so a blocked attempt is retried with a fresh session instead of failing the run. Only what any logged-out visitor already sees is read: the page's title and public description text, with full-width Japanese digits and characters normalised before matching. Every number found is normalised into one consistent international format and checked against the destination country's real length and pattern before it is returned, so the output schema stays the same no matter which country or keyword you search. Rakuten Japan's own layout can change at any time; because the actor reads general page text rather than one fixed element, small layout changes don't automatically turn into empty rows.

Is it legal to scrape Rakuten Japan data?

Scraping publicly accessible web data is generally permitted; this actor only returns phone numbers shown on public Rakuten Japan pages — what any visitor sees without logging in. Using the numbers you collect to contact people is separately governed by anti-spam and telemarketing law wherever your contacts are (for example the US TCPA/CAN-SPAM rules, or GDPR and ePrivacy rules in the EU), and storing personal data must comply with the data-protection law that applies to you. Consult legal counsel if your use case involves bulk storage of personal data or contacting people found this way.

Frequently asked questions

What fields does Rakuten Japan Phone Number Scraper return?

It returns the phone number, the page URL, the page title, the public description text, and the country/dial code for every match. See the data fields section for the full list.

Does Rakuten Japan Phone Number Scraper require a Rakuten Japan account or login?

No. Only public Rakuten Japan page data is extracted; no credentials are needed.

How fast does Rakuten Japan Phone Number Scraper run?

There's no fixed speed limit. A local test run without a proxy found 2 phone numbers for one keyword in about 24 seconds; results on Apify's infrastructure (typically through Apify Proxy) will vary with the keyword and country.

What happens if a keyword matches no phone number?

A keyword that matches no public Rakuten Japan page showing a number of the chosen country simply returns no rows for that keyword — the run still ends successfully with whatever other keywords found.

Can I scrape multiple Rakuten Japan keywords at once?

Yes. Put every keyword in the keywords array; up to 3 are searched at the same time, each with its own maxPhoneNumbers budget — find rakuten japan merchant phone number leads across a whole shop list in one run.

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

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

What happens when Rakuten Japan changes its layout or anti-bot system?

This actor reads general page text rather than one fixed selector, so most layout changes don't break it outright. When Rakuten Japan makes a bigger change, the actor is updated and your calls keep returning the same JSON schema on your end.

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

Yes. Proxy rotation and retry handling run on the actor's side. You send one request and get structured JSON back — no proxy accounts, no headless browser setup, no maintenance.

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

For RAG: the title and description fields are the text-rich context. For structured filtering or training data: phone_number, country and dial_code are typed strings that need no further normalisation.
