Japan Tackleberry Used Fishing Tackle Prices — Scraper

Live on Apify: Tackleberry Japan Scraper - Used Fishing Tackle Prices API — callable as a REST API from any language.

What this actor does

This actor scrapes product data from @Berry Net (タックルベリーB-net), one of Japan's largest specialty retailers for new and used fishing tackle. It returns structured JSON — product ID, title, price in JPY, original / regular price, discount rate, image, product URL, used/new flag, category, and stock status — for every reel, rod, lure, line, and accessory that matches your keyword or category.

Tackleberry B-net aggregates stock from hundreds of affiliated stores across Japan, which makes it a high-depth window into the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) fishing tackle world. JDM reels and rods from brands like Shimano (シマノ), Daiwa (ダイワ), and Abu Garcia hold strong value and are prized by anglers worldwide — often at a premium outside Japan. This actor surfaces both the new-product range and the often-scarce used inventory, which is where the genuine bargains are.

All output is written to the default Apify dataset as clean, machine-readable records you can export as JSON, CSV, or XML, or push onward via the Apify API and webhooks. Whether you are a reseller hunting rare discontinued lures, a store building a price-comparison dashboard, or an analyst studying Japan used tackle pricing trends, this scraper gives you dependable live Japanese marketplace data for the fishing-tackle niche.

  "maxItems": 200
}

Output

Each product is written to the default Apify dataset in this shape:

{
  "productId": "1234888",
  "title": "エメラルダスXボート65LS-S・E",
  "name": "エメラルダスXボート65LS-S・E",
  "price": 15246,
  "regularPrice": 21780,
  "discountRate": 30,
  "imageUrl": "https://b-net.tackleberry.co.jp/html/upload/save_image/no_image_product.png",
  "productUrl": "https://b-net.tackleberry.co.jp/products/detail/1234888",
  "isUsed": true,
  "categoryId": 12,
  "inStock": true
}

The price vs regularPrice pair plus discountRate makes margin math immediate, and isUsed separates used bargains from new stock at a glance.

Use cases

• Price monitoring — track JDM reel and rod prices across Tackleberry's large store network, and alert when a target item drops in price or goes out of stock.
• Rare lure detection — monitor used inventory for discontinued and hard-to-find lures, and never miss one when it goes on sale.
• Price-comparison dashboard — aggregate Japanese tackle prices against Mercari and Yahoo Auctions to find the cheapest source for any item.
• Market research — analyze Japan used tackle pricing trends, discount behaviour, and stock turnover to inform buying decisions.
• Resale arbitrage — buy underpriced JDM tackle domestically and resell internationally, where demand for Shimano and Daiwa is consistently high.
• AI training data — build a labelled dataset of Japanese fishing-tackle listings (title, brand, category, condition, price) for valuation and classification models.

Why Japan data

The JDM fishing-tackle market is globally influential — Japanese reels and rods are engineered to a standard the rest of the world looks up to, and used tackle retains significant value. Tackleberry B-net aggregates listings from across the country, giving you nationwide price discovery in one query. For anglers, small exporters, and tackle retailers, reliable access to this Japanese marketplace data is a concrete edge for sourcing and pricing.

FAQ

Can I search used items only? Yes — use category search with the used-items parameter (sale_type[]=3). Provide a categoryId and the actor returns only used products.

Do I need a Tackleberry account or API key? No. The actor scrapes publicly available product listing pages.

Are prices in Japanese yen? Yes — all prices are reported in JPY.

Are the product names in Japanese? Yes — Tackleberry is a Japanese-only site, so names appear in Japanese (model codes and brand names are often in Latin characters).

How fresh is the data? Real-time. The actor fetches data at execution time directly from the website.

Can I schedule runs? Yes — open the Apify Schedule tab and set a daily (or custom) interval.

Limitations

• The actor reads listing pages; some product-level details (such as precise stock status) may not be available for every item.
• The website is Japanese-only, so all titles/names are in Japanese.
• To respect rate limits, the actor waits 1–3 seconds between page requests.
• The British brand "Tackleberry" is unrelated; this actor targets the Japanese @Berry Net retailer.

Integrations

Works with Apify Connectors (Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, Supabase, GitHub) and can POST results to a webhook URL when the run finishes. Combine with a Schedule to build a fully automated fishing-tackle price-monitoring pipeline.
