EQL Store Scraper — Korean Designer Fashion Best-Sellers 🛍️

Scrape the daily best-seller rankings from EQL (eqlstore.com) — the premium designer-fashion mall run by Handsome, part of the Hyundai Department Store group — as clean, structured JSON. Get the rank, brand, product name, price (KRW), sold-out flag, and image for every best-selling product across EQL's WOMEN, MEN, and LIFE departments in one run.

Note: EQL here is eqlstore.com (Handsome / Hyundai Dept Store), a Korean designer-fashion retailer — not the unrelated company at eql.com.

The perfect daily trend feed for a Korean e-commerce dashboard: run it on a schedule and you get a fresh top-of-market ranking every day, ready to chart movers, new entries, and sell-outs.

Try it free. Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit — at $2.00 / 1,000 results that's roughly 2,500 products from this actor, no credit card required. Set your input, click Start, and export JSON/CSV/Excel.

What it does

This actor reads ranking data straight from EQL's own best-seller feed (the same endpoint the website calls as you browse a category's "BEST" tab), so results are fast and complete — no fragile full-page scraping, no headless browser. You can scrape:

• All three departments at once (WOMEN + MEN + LIFE, each with its own ranking), or
• A single department (e.g. just WOMEN, or just LIFE).

Every product is returned with its live daily best-seller rank (sort=DAILY_SALE_SEQ), so the output is a ready-made leaderboard.

Why EQL? EQL is Handsome's flagship premium-designer platform (Hyundai Department Store group), carrying labels like ARC'TERYX, ASICS, and a deep bench of Korean designer brands. Its daily best-seller list is a clean, high-signal read on what premium Korean shoppers are actually buying — ideal for a shopping-trend dashboard, brand monitoring, or product sourcing. This actor turns that ranking into a structured dataset you can filter, chart, and pipe into your own tools.

Input

Field	Type	Description
department	string	Which best-seller department to scrape: all (WOMEN + MEN + LIFE), women, men, or life. Default all.
maxItems	integer	Max best-seller products to collect per department. The EQL daily best list runs ~100–120 items per department. Default 120, max 1000.
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings (see below). Defaults to a direct connection.

With department: "all" the actor collects up to maxItems products for each of the three departments, so a default run returns roughly 300 records (the full best list of all three), each tagged with its own dept and per-department rank.

Input example

{
  "department": "all",
  "maxItems": 120
}

{
  "department": "women",
  "maxItems": 40
}

Output

Each best-selling product is one dataset record. rank is the product's position in that department's live daily best-seller list (1 = top seller). price_krw is the current sale price in Korean won. is_sold_out flags products EQL marks as sold out. dept tells you which department leaderboard the record belongs to.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape this data? This actor collects only public, non-personal best-seller data — the same ranking any visitor sees on eqlstore.com without logging in. No personal data of any kind is collected. You are responsible for how you use the data; see the legality note below.

What does it cost in practice? $2.00 per 1,000 results (launch pricing) + a few cents of platform usage. Example: a daily all-departments pull of ~300 products costs about $0.60/day. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers ~2,500 results (5 ÷ 2 × 1,000).

Do I need to configure proxies? No — the default settings work out of the box. EQL serves its best-seller feed without a bot wall, so the actor runs fine on a direct connection. For very heavy pulls you can optionally enable Apify Proxy — see the proxy note below.

How fresh is the data? Every run scrapes EQL's live daily best-seller feed (DAILY_SALE_SEQ) at run time. Schedule the actor daily to build a time series of the rankings.

Is EQL the same as eql.com? No. This actor targets eqlstore.com, the Korean designer-fashion mall operated by Handsome (Hyundai Department Store group). It is unrelated to eql.com.

What is NOT included? Only the best-seller list fields are returned (rank, brand, name, price, sold-out flag, image). This actor does not open each product's detail page, so per-item extras like full descriptions, sizes, or review text are not collected. Brand and product names come as EQL lists them (mostly Korean, some English).

Rate limiting & legality

• The actor collects only public, non-authenticated data. It never logs in and never touches private endpoints.
• No personal data is collected — only public product ranking fields (rank, brand, name, price, sold-out flag, image).
• Requests are rate-limited: one page at a time with a ≥ 500 ms delay between requests (and between departments), to stay gentle on EQL's servers.
• You are responsible for using the data in line with EQL's terms of service and applicable law.

Known limitations (honesty note)

• List-level fields only. This actor returns the best-seller list fields (rank, brand, name, price, sold-out flag, image). It deliberately does not open each product's detail page, so per-item extras (descriptions, sizes, full review text) are not collected.
• Rank is per department. rank is the product's position within its own department's daily best list (WOMEN, MEN, or LIFE) — it is not a single cross-store ranking. Use dept to keep the three leaderboards separate.
• Names/brands are as listed. Product and brand names come exactly as EQL labels them (mostly Korean, some English); they are not translated.
• price_krw is the current sale price shown on the best-seller card. Original/list price and discount rate are not exposed on the list feed and are not returned.
