💡 Use Cases

1. Price Monitoring & Reseller Flipping

Track price drops on high-value JDM items like Shimano Antares, Daiwa Steez, or Megabass Orochi rods. Schedule a daily run with a keyword list, then pipe results into Slack or Google Sheets to alert when an item crosses your buy threshold. Useful for cross-border resellers shipping from Japan to overseas buyers on eBay, Buyee, or ZenMarket.

{ "keyword": "アンタレス", "maxItems": 200 }

2. Used Tackle Inventory Surveillance

Collectors hunt for discontinued lures, vintage reels, and rare rods that only show up briefly on B-net before being snapped up. Run this Actor on a 6-hour schedule filtered to sale_type[]=3 (used only) to catch new listings the moment they appear. Pair with a webhook for instant notification when a target SKU becomes available.

{ "categoryId": 12, "maxItems": 100 }

3. Japan Fishing-Gear Market Research

Build historical price datasets for JDM tackle categories to analyze seasonal discount patterns, brand pricing tiers, and category-level supply. Ideal input for a price-comparison site, an affiliate deal aggregator, or a B2B data product sold to fishing retailers and proxy-buying services like OneMall or Sendico.

{ "categoryId": 30, "maxItems": 1000 }

⚠️ Limitations

• Listing-page data only. Parses B-net search-results pages. For deep per-product detail (full description, multiple photos, seller info), pair this Actor with a separate detail-page scraper.
• Japanese-language site. All product titles are returned in Japanese. Add a translation layer downstream if you need English titles.
• Soft rate limiting. Waits 1–3 seconds between page requests to be polite to B-net. Large jobs (5,000 items) take several minutes.
• No login required. All scraped data is publicly accessible without an account.
• imageUrl placeholder. Items without an uploaded image return the site's no_image_product.png URL.
• Category coverage. Deep sub-categories (categoryId > 100) may have sparser inventory. Run a small test first.
• Currency. All prices are in Japanese Yen (JPY).

❓ FAQ

Q1. Can I filter for used items only? Yes. Pass categoryId and the Actor automatically appends sale_type[]=3 to the URL, restricting results to pre-owned listings. Recommended for collectors hunting rare discontinued gear.

Q2. How fresh is the data? Real-time. Every run fetches live data directly from B-net — no caching layer. A 09:00 JST scheduled run sees exactly what shoppers see at that moment.

Q3. Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Open the Schedule tab in Apify Console and set any interval (hourly, daily, weekly). Pair with a webhook → Slack notification for price-drop alerts.

Q4. What proxy should I use? B-net does not block datacenter IPs, so the default Apify proxy works. For a Japanese origin IP (occasionally the site serves slightly different inventory by region), use country: "JP".

Q5. Is this Actor TOS-compliant? Yes. B-net's robots.txt permits general crawler access to the search and product pages this Actor targets. We respect Crawl-delay and identify ourselves with a descriptive User-Agent. The site has no published prohibition on automated data collection for non-commercial research.

Q6. Can I export results to Google Sheets or Notion? Yes. Use Apify's Connectors integration — one-click export to Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, Supabase, or any HTTP webhook.

Q7. Do you offer an API or bulk data feed? This Actor is the API. Run it on a schedule, accumulate results in Apify's dataset, and download as JSON/CSV/Excel on demand. For continuous bulk feeds, contact the developer via Apify.

Q8. What happens if B-net changes its HTML structure? The Actor includes regex-based fallbacks and is monitored weekly. If a structural change breaks parsing, the maintainer ships a fix within 48 hours and the version is bumped in the Changelog below.

🔌 Integrations
