What it does

This actor pulls listing data directly from Joongna's public search API (the same one that powers web.joongna.com), so results are fast and complete — no fragile HTML scraping in the happy path. Two modes:

• Search — every listing matching a keyword (e.g. nike, 아이폰, jordan 1).
• Category — browse the newest / most-relevant listings in a top-level Joongna category (e.g. Women's fashion, Digital/Electronics, Star goods).

Four sort orders are supported: recommended/relevance, newest, price low→high, and price high→low.

Privacy first: this actor collects item data only. It never emits seller nicknames, IDs, store handles, profiles, or manner-temperature. Item, price, image, and public engagement counts only.

Field	Meaning
source	Always "joongna".
listing_id	Joongna listing id (seq).
name	Listing title.
price_krw	Asking price (KRW).
status	Sale status. The search feed only returns on-sale items, so this is effectively always "selling" (see Known limitations).
category	Always null from the search feed — see Known limitations.
region	Always null from the search feed — see Known limitations.
free_shipping	Whether the listing ships free (parcel fee is 0).
wish_count	Number of users who wishlisted the listing. A real demand signal.
chat_count	Number of buyer chats opened on the listing. A real demand signal.
url	Listing page URL.
image_url	First product image (clean original asset).
listed_at	Listing sort/refresh time (KST, UTC+9).
scraped_at	ISO-8601 timestamp (KST, UTC+9).

Known limitations (honest)

• region is not available from Joongna's search feed — the API returns an empty location for listing rows, so this field is always null. It is kept for schema compatibility only.
• category name is not returned on search rows. Use category mode with a categorySeq to scope results to a category instead of reading it off each row.
• status does not vary in practice: the search API only returns on-sale listings, so status is always "selling". Reserved/sold listings are not exposed by this feed.

These fields are documented, not billed on — pricing reflects only the fields that reliably populate (name, price, image, wish/chat counts, free shipping, timestamps).

Use cases

• Secondhand price research — track asking prices for sneakers, electronics, luxury goods, and K-pop goods across Korea's broadest secondhand marketplace.
• Resale & arbitrage sourcing — surface underpriced or high-demand listings (sort by newest or price, rank by wish_count / chat_count).
• Demand analysis — measure listing volume and engagement (wishlists, chats) for a product or category over time.
• AI agents & datasets — feed structured secondhand data into pricing models, sourcing dashboards, or LLM agents.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape this data? This actor collects only public, non-personal catalog data — the same listings any visitor to web.joongna.com sees without logging in. No personal data is collected (no seller nicknames, ids, or profiles). You are responsible for how you use the data; see the legality note below.

What does it cost in practice? $2.50 per 1,000 results (launch pricing) + a few cents of platform usage. Example: a 500-result daily pull costs about $1.25/day. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers ~2,000 results.

Do I need to configure proxies? No — the default settings work out of the box. For large runs or if you see repeated HTTP 403/429 errors, optionally enable Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group (see the proxy recommendation below).

How fresh is the data? Every run scrapes the live site at run time. Schedule the actor for recurring snapshots.

What is NOT included? No seller data of any kind (privacy by design), and no region or per-row category name — Joongna's search feed doesn't return them, so they are null. Only on-sale listings are exposed, so status is effectively always "selling".

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 — no seller nicknames, store ids, profiles, or manner-temperature. Item, price, image, and public engagement data only.
• Requests are rate-limited: one page at a time with a ≥ 500 ms delay between requests, to stay gentle on Joongna's servers.
• You are responsible for using the data in line with Joongna's terms of service and applicable law.

⚠️ Proxy recommendation

Joongna may block datacenter IPs or high request volumes. For reliable runs — especially at higher maxItems — enable Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group. The actor automatically uses the proxy configuration you provide (via proxyConfiguration in input) and, if a proxy tunnel fails, falls back to a direct connection rather than hanging. If you see repeated API HTTP 403/429 errors in the log, switch on residential proxy.
