{
  "sources": ["oliveyoung_global"],
  "maxProductsPerRanking": 5,
  "reviewsPerProduct": 5
}

Pricing

Pay only for what you collect — no subscription.

Event	Price	When
ranking-item	$0.002	One product row of a bestseller ranking (rank, product, price, rating, review count).
review	$0.001	One customer review collected (text, rating, date, option and more).
review-judged	$0.0005	Complaint types, sentiment and purchase motive for one review (only when classification is on).

That is $2 per 1,000 ranking rows, $1 per 1,000 reviews and $0.50 per 1,000 review classifications ($1.50 per 1,000 classified reviews). First run with the form defaults: about $0.05 (5 products, 25 reviews classified, 6 seconds).

Cost examples

Run	Cost
Top 100 of one ranking, no reviews	$0.20
Top 20 + 20 reviews each, classified	$0.64
Top 20 + 50 reviews each, not classified	$1.04
Daily top 50 of 3 categories for 30 days, no reviews	$9.00

With the free $5 monthly Apify credit you can collect about 3,333 classified reviews or 2,500 ranking items.

Failed requests are reported with an error row and not charged. If you set a maximum cost per run, the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached (classification is switched off first when the budget only covers collection).

Works with

• Apify API, JavaScript and Python clients — start a run and read the dataset like any Actor (leoworks/kbeauty-ranking-review-monitor). The Rankings and Reviews dataset views separate the two row types.
• Apify Schedules — a daily schedule gives previousRank, rankChange and isNew for every ranking row; our own monitoring runs this Actor every morning.
• Claude, Cursor and Claude Code through the Apify MCP server — see the next section (verified 2026-10-06).
• Korean Review Classifier — the same labels for Olive Young Korea or any other review dataset: leoworks/korean-review-classifier.

Use with Claude, Cursor or Claude Code (MCP)

Add the Apify MCP server with this Actor as a tool and ask your agent in plain language — for example "Get today's top 10 skincare bestsellers on Olive Young Global with their newest 5 reviews and tell me which products have skin-trouble complaints." The agent calls the tool leoworks--kbeauty-ranking-review-monitor and reads the rows with get-dataset-items.

How to use

1. Pick the rankings: Olive Young Global categories (Skincare, Makeup, Suncare, Face Masks, …) and/or Amore Mall (most purchased or most clicked; daily, weekly or monthly; by category and age group).
2. Set Products per ranking and Reviews per product (0 = rankings only).
3. Optional: Only these brands to keep just your brand and competitors (the whole top 100 is searched, ranks are kept), or Extra product pages to collect reviews of specific products.
4. Run it once, or schedule it daily. From the second run on, ranking rows show the change since the previous run (rankChange, isNew).

Output

Each row has a type: ranking or review. The Rankings and Reviews tabs show them separately.

Prices are in USD on Olive Young Global and in KRW on Amore Mall. Reviews in other languages (Chinese, Spanish, …) are collected but not classified (classifySkipped), and not charged for classification.

Product details (optional, Olive Young Global)

Turn on Product details to add each Olive Young Global ranking product's information sheet as productDetails — no extra charge:

"productDetails": {
  "ingredients": "Water, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water, Propanediol, Glycerin, …",
  "volume": "50mL(+10ml*2ea+Tube Ringer)",
  "idealFor": "For all skin types",
  "countryOfManufacture": "South Korea",
  "manufacturer": "Kolmar Korea Co., Ltd. / …",
  "allFields": { "Expiration date (or expiration date after opening)": "36 months from the date of manufacture", "…": "…" }
}

Supplements use their own sheet (raw materials, nutrition facts); the same keys are filled where they exist. Amore Mall rows are not covered.

Review summary by product (REPORT)

When reviews are collected, the run also saves a REPORT record (Output tab → Review summary by product) at no extra charge: per product, the average rating, complaint rate and complaint mix, sentiment shares, purchase motives and the 3 strongest complaint reviews — plus the same for all products together. Shares are computed over classified reviews; unclassified reviews count for the average rating only.

Classification accuracy

Measured on hand-labelled Olive Young Global reviews (about half with 1–3 stars): complaint type 87% on English reviews it had not seen before, 93% on Japanese reviews. Korean reviews use the same model as our Korean Review Classifier. Automated labels can be wrong; check samples before making big decisions.

FAQ

Which AI makes the judgments? Jev, TypeSafe's decision model (version jev-1.13.0, pinned). Jev answers each label with a calibrated probability instead of generated text, so the same input gets the same answer from run to run. We re-measure accuracy on our labelled test set before we change the model version. Only the review text and its rating are sent to Jev; reviewer profiles and account data are not.

Does it cover Olive Young Korea (oliveyoung.co.kr)? No. The Korean store blocks automated access. For Olive Young Korea reviews, run a dedicated review scraper and classify its dataset with our Korean Review Classifier.

Why does Amore Mall only show Amorepacific brands? Amore Mall is Amorepacific's own store, so its ranking covers its own brands (Sulwhasoo, Laneige, Hera, IOPE, Primera, …).

How is the change since the last run calculated? Each run saves the whole fetched ranking (top 100) in a key-value store in your own Apify account (default name kbeauty-ranking-history). The next run compares against it: rankChange = previous rank − current rank (positive = moved up), isNew = not in the previous ranking. Use a different store name per project, or leave the field empty to turn this off. No extra charge.

How often do the rankings change? Olive Young Global bestsellers update during the day; Amore Mall shows the update time in rankingUpdatedAt. A daily schedule is enough for most tracking.

Does it need an account? No. Both stores are read without logging in.
