Yahoo Auctions Japan Sold Prices (ヤフオク落札相場)

Sold-item comps from Yahoo! Auctions Japan (ヤフオク!) — what items actually sold for: title, final price in JPY, bid count, end time, condition and category, in a clean English schema.

This Actor searches the public closed-auction (sold items, 落札相場) listings on auctions.yahoo.co.jp by keyword — optionally narrowed by category — and returns each sold item as English-schema JSON: item title, sold price (JPY), buy-now price when the listing had one, bid count, end timestamp (ISO 8601), condition (new/used plus the site's condition grade code), category path and id, thumbnail image URL, item URL, fixed-price vs auction flag, flea-market flag, and watch count. Optional price-range and condition filters and end-time/price sorting are applied client-side.

Yahoo! Auctions is Japan's largest auction marketplace and its sold-price history is the reference price database for Japanese collectibles, cameras, trading cards, figures, watches and electronics — but it is Japanese-only and invisible to most international tooling. This Actor is the bridge for price research, resale comps and authenticity/market analysis.

Unofficial tool. Not affiliated with or endorsed by LY Corporation (LINEヤフー株式会社) or Yahoo! Auctions (ヤフオク!). It collects publicly available data only (no login, no paywall), politely (strictly serial requests, ≥1.2 s apart, hard per-run budget, no block evasion), fetches only URLs the site's robots.txt allows, and extracts item facts only — no seller information of any kind (no seller IDs, names, ratings or locations), no personal data (relevant e.g. under GDPR: no personal data is collected or processed). Users are responsible for ensuring their own use of the data complies with the source site's terms and applicable law.

Who is this for?

• Resellers & arbitrage — real sold prices (not asking prices) for anything traded in Japan: trading cards, figures, retro games, camera gear, watches, denim.
• Overseas collectors & proxy-buying services — know the fair market price in Japan before bidding or quoting; Zenmarket/Buyee-style flows need exactly this data.
• Authenticity & market research — price distributions, bid activity and condition mix per item family; spot outliers and fakes by price.
• Data teams — a stable English schema over a Japanese-only source, with an analysis-ready shape (numeric prices, ISO timestamps, coarse + detailed condition).

Sample output (dataset item)

{
  "itemTitle": "ポケモンカード コイキング AR 080/073 ポケカ",
  "soldPriceJpy": 7645,
  "buyNowPriceJpy": null,
  "bidCount": 20,
  "endedAt": "2026-08-25T21:58:28+09:00",
  "condition": "used",
  "conditionDetail": "USED60",
  "categoryPath": ["おもちゃ、ゲーム", "ゲーム", "トレーディングカードゲーム", "ポケモンカードゲーム", "シングルカード"],
  "categoryId": 2084317608,
  "imageUrl": "https://auc-pctr.c.yimg.jp/i/auctions.c.yimg.jp/images.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/image/...",
  "itemUrl": "https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j1241577860",
  "isFixedPrice": false,
  "isFleaMarket": false,
  "watchCount": 43,
  "source": "ヤフオク! 落札相場 (auctions.yahoo.co.jp closed search)",
  "sourceUrl": "https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/",
  "license": "Publicly available data — unofficial tool; users are responsible for compliance with the source site's terms",
  "retrievedAt": "2026-08-25T13:12:44.000Z"
}

condition is new / used; conditionDetail is the site's grade code (NEW, or USED10…USED80 — lower number = better condition). isFixedPrice separates buy-it-now listings from true auctions; bidCount and watchCount signal demand.

Input example

{
  "keyword": "ポケモンカード",
  "priceMin": 1000,
  "priceMax": 50000,
  "condition": "used",
  "sortBy": "price",
  "maxItems": 100
}

keyword is required (Japanese keywords match best). category takes a numeric Yahoo Auctions category id (the auccat value in category URLs). Price range, condition and sorting are applied client-side after fetching — the equivalent URL parameters are disallowed by the site's robots.txt, and this Actor strictly requests only robots-allowed URLs. Tight filters therefore discard part of what was fetched; raise maxApiRequests if a filtered run comes back incomplete.

Pay per result — see the pricing tab. One upstream page holds 50 sold items.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? Live from the public, login-free closed-auction search (落札相場) pages on auctions.yahoo.co.jp at run time. Every record embeds the source, source URL, a license note, and the retrieval timestamp.

Is this an official Yahoo! / LY Corporation service? No. Unofficial, independently built and maintained, and not affiliated with or endorsed by LY Corporation. It reads only publicly available pages. (Yahoo's official auction API was discontinued in 2018; no API route exists.)

Is seller information included? No — deliberately and verifiably not. Seller IDs, display names, ratings, store flags and item location are never extracted (the test suite asserts recursively that no seller-derived value can appear in any output field). Sold-price analysis needs the item and the price, not the person.

Does it respect robots.txt? Yes, strictly. The closed-search page this Actor uses (/closedsearch/closedsearch) is expressly allowed by the site's robots.txt; several filter URL-parameters are disallowed there, so this Actor never sends them and applies those filters client-side instead.

Who is responsible for how the data is used? You are. The Actor collects publicly available factual data politely, but the legality of your specific use (redistribution, database rights, the source site's terms) is your responsibility as the user.

How fresh and complete are the results? Sold listings are what the site's closed search returns at retrieval time, most recently ended first (the site retains roughly the last 180 days of sold items). Treat each run as a snapshot; re-run for fresh comps.

What about server load? Strictly serial requests, ≥1.2 s apart, 50 items per request, hard per-run request budget (max 60), exponential backoff, no CAPTCHA/login/block evasion. If the site changes its page format, the Actor stops with a clear error instead of silently mis-parsing; if it blocks persistently, the run fails visibly.
