Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Extract structured item data including title, creator name, category hierarchy, price, material, images, and engagement metrics across all major product categories. ### What data does it extract? Each record contains: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `item_id` | Creema item ID (numeric) | | `title` | Item title (Japanese) | | `creator_name` | Creator or brand name | | `category` | Category breadcrumb hierarchy (e.g. "Accessories > Earrings > Stud earrings") | | `price` | Price with currency code (e.g. `2400.00 JPY`) | | `favorite_count` | Number of favorites/likes | | `material` | Primary material(s) used | | `image_urls` | Newline-separated list of product image URLs | | `detail_url` | Full URL of the item detail page | | `rating` | Average review rating (null — dynamically loaded, not in server HTML) | | `review_count` | Number of reviews (null — dynamically loaded, not in server HTML) | ### How does it work? 1. **Discovery**: Seeds from 16 top-level category listing pages covering the full catalog (accessories, fashion, bags, art, cosmetics, etc.) 2. **Pagination**: Iterates through paginated category listings (`/listing/N?page=P`), each returning ~125 items 3. **Extraction**: Fetches each item detail page (`/item/NNNNN/detail`) and extracts structured data from embedded `schema.org/ProductGroup` JSON-LD plus DOM elements ### Input | Parameter | Type | Description | Default | |-----------|------|-------------|---------| | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of item records to scrape | 10 | ### Usage notes - **Language**: All content is in Japanese (UTF-8) - **Rating/Review fields**: These fields are loaded via JavaScript after page load and are not available in server-rendered HTML. They will always be `null` in the output. - **Category coverage**: The scraper seeds from all 16 top-level Creema categories; records span the full catalog - **Rate limiting**: The actor uses polite concurrency (5 concurrent requests) respecting Creema's crawl guidelines ### Example output ```json { "item_id": "16323696", "title": "【1秒で乾く！】 住所スタンプ アドレススタンプ 住所印 はんこ ゴム印", "creator_name": "malmall", "category": "雑貨・ステーショナリー > はんこ・スタンプ", "price": "3480.00 JPY", "rating": null, "review_count": null, "favorite_count": 2179, "material": "プラスティック", "image_urls": "https://c.p02.c4a.im/images/item/16323696/b63405de1faae6f53e26baf6eb06e9b7f66917c23c4d688a2b1d157fe6047719", "detail_url": "https://www.creema.jp/item/16323696/detail" } ```` ### Use cases - **Craft market intelligence**: Track pricing trends, popular materials, and category demand across Japan's largest handmade marketplace - **Creator/maker lead generation**: Identify prolific creators and their product niches for partnership or sourcing outreach - **Cross-border artisan sourcing**: Discover unique JP handmade products for import or resale — a dataset with no Western Etsy-scraper equivalent - **Competitive analysis**: Monitor handmade product trends, pricing, and creator activity in the JP artisan-commerce segment # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of item records to scrape.
