Mercari Japan Search Scraper
Scrape search results from Mercari Japan (メルカリ), Japan's largest C2C marketplace. Returns item name, price, condition, brand, thumbnails, and direct item URLs.
Why this works
Mercari's search page is a fully client-side rendered Next.js app. The underlying search API (POST https://api.mercari.jp/v2/entities:search) requires a DPoP security header that the page's own JavaScript generates automatically — it cannot be called with plain HTTP requests.
This Actor drives a real headless Chromium browser with Playwright, lets the page issue its API calls, and captures the JSON responses via network interception. No API keys, no login, no cookies required.

Use cases
- Price research / arbitrage — monitor what similar items actually sell for
- Market intelligence — track inventory levels, condition distribution, and seller activity for a product
- Reseller sourcing — find underpriced listings by keyword + price range
- Brand monitoring — watch new listings for specific brands
Pricing
$0.00005 per run + $0.002 per item (100 items ≈ $0.20).
Limitations
- Proxy: Do NOT enable the Apify auto-proxy — it causes page-load timeouts. Mercari works directly from Apify datacenter IPs. If you use a proxy, use residential proxies only.
- Item count is limited by search ranking (Mercari returns up to ~3,400 results per keyword).
- Images are thumbnail URLs; use the
itemUrlfor full details.
Changelog
- 0.1 — Production release. SPA-based pagination (click 次へ + React hydration wait + retry), full-page browsing mode, total-timeout guard. Verified: 359 items / 3 pages, no duplicates.
- 0.0 — Initial release. Search by keyword, sort, price range; pagination; network-capture based extraction.
