Qiita + Zenn Tech Article Scraper (Japanese developer corpus)
Collects Japanese technical articles from Qiita and Zenn — the two largest developer knowledge-sharing platforms in Japan — and returns them as clean JSON with Markdown / plain-text bodies. Built for Japanese LLM datasets (RAG, fine-tuning, evaluation), developer-trend research and content ideation.
What you get

|---|---|
platform | qiita or zenn |
title, url, id / slug | Article identity |
author, authorName, publication | Author (and Zenn publication if any) |

Input
- Tags / topics — e.g.
claude,python,nextjs,生成AI. Applied to both platforms. - Keywords (Qiita only) — free-text search in title/body.
- User names — pull everything an author published.
- Minimum likes / Published after — dataset quality and recency filters. Filtering happens before charging, so you don't pay for skipped articles.
- Include body — turn off for metadata-only crawls (cheaper).
- Qiita access token (optional) — raises the Qiita API limit from 60 to 1,000 requests/hour (each request fetches up to 100 articles).
Pricing (pay per event)
- Article (with body) — full body + metadata.
- Article (metadata only) — title, URL, author, tags, likes, dates.
The Apify free plan is enough to try it.
Use cases
- Japanese RAG / fine-tuning corpora — e.g. "all Qiita + Zenn articles tagged
claudewith ≥ 20 likes since 2025" in one run. - Developer trend research — which frameworks / tools are Japanese engineers writing about this month?
- Content ideation for tech blogs & YouTube — find high-engagement topics and gaps.
- Competitive intelligence for dev-tool vendors — track how your product and competitors are discussed in Japan.
Example output
Notes
- Qiita is accessed through its official public API; Zenn through its public JSON endpoints and server-rendered article pages, at low request rates.
- Article content belongs to its authors. Use the data in accordance with each platform's terms and Japanese copyright law (research, analysis and internal RAG use are typical).
