- Brand secondary-market analysis: Track how specific brands move through the Japanese pre-owned market — pricing, condition distribution, sell-through velocity
- Price monitoring: Track JPY prices over time for specific brands, models, or condition grades
- Authentication/appraisal: Calibrate Japanese-market pricing for authentication services
- Inventory research: Filter by brand code, category, or condition to understand supply depth
Input
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

How it works
The actor calls RAGTAG's public item-search JSON API at /api/v1/item/search/json — no HTML parsing, no browser rendering, no proxy required. It paginates through results (100 items per page) until the catalog is exhausted or maxItems is reached. Optional brand and category filters reduce the page count for targeted runs.
Full catalog run: ~2,450 pages × 100 items = ~245,000 listings at 2 requests/sec ≈ a few hours.
Pricing note
All prices are in Japanese Yen (JPY). For cross-border comparison, apply current JPY/USD or JPY/EUR exchange rates. The base_price_jpy field shows the original list price — useful for computing the markdown percentage relative to retail.
Condition grades
RAGTAG uses a proprietary grading system from best to worst:
| Grade | Meaning |
|---|---|
S | Unused / mint condition |
A | Near-mint, minimal signs of use |
AB | Between A and B |
B | Light use, normal wear |
BC | Between B and C |
C | Visible wear |
CD | Between C and D |
D | Heavy wear, significant flaws |
Notes
- Content is in Japanese (UTF-8). Brand names are available in both Latin (
brand) and kana (brand_kana). - The
availableflag reflects RAGTAG'ssoFlg(sold-out flag) at scrape time. Items sell quickly — run-to-run freshness matters for arbitrage use cases. - Color names are in Japanese. Common mappings: 赤=red, 黒=black, 白=white, 青=blue, 茶=brown, グレー=gray, ベージュ=beige, ピンク=pink.
