## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 7-Eleven Japan Product & 7NOW Delivery Price Scraper

**Scrape real 7-Eleven Japan delivery product prices from 7NOW** - no coding, no manual copy-pasting, no browser to babysit. Get every product's **name, price (pre-tax and tax-included), photo, and stock status**, exactly as a customer ordering 7NOW delivery would see them, for any 7-Eleven Japan store.

### What does this 7-Eleven Japan scraper do?

This Actor scrapes 7-Eleven Japan's **7NOW delivery catalog** - the same product list and pricing shown to real customers ordering delivery - directly from the source, store by store. Give it a store, and it returns every product 7NOW sells there: **onigiri, bento, fried snacks, drinks, sweets, daily goods**, and everything else in the catalog, with real live prices.

Point it at a store by ID or by location, and choose whether you want the **entire catalog** or just products matching a **name you search for** (e.g. `おにぎり` or `coffee`). Run it on-demand, on a schedule, or trigger it via the Apify API - full run monitoring built in.

### Why scrape 7-Eleven Japan delivery prices?

- **Price monitoring** - track how 7NOW prices change over time, per store or across regions.
- **Competitive & market research** - see exactly what a convenience-store delivery catalog looks like in Japan, and how pricing varies by store.
- **Menu/catalog analysis** - build a structured dataset of product names, categories, and photos for analysis or cataloging.
- **Data enrichment** - feed real product and pricing data into your own database, app, or price-comparison tool.

### How to use this 7-Eleven Japan scraper

1. Go to the **Input** tab.
2. Tell it which store to scrape - **Store IDs** (see below for how to find one) is the default and simplest option. It comes pre-filled with a real Tokyo store, so clicking **Start** with no changes gives you a working preview immediately.
3. Leave **Product name filter** empty to get the store's **entire delivery catalog**, or fill it in (e.g. `おにぎり`, `sandwich`, `coffee`) to get only matching products.
4. Click **Start**, then open the **Dataset** tab for your results.

7-Eleven Japan has no public per-store web page to copy a store ID from, so if you don't already know one:

1. Run this Actor once with a **Prefecture filter** set (or leave everything empty for nationwide) - it discovers matching stores automatically and scrapes their catalogs.
2. Note the `storeId` field on any products you care about.
3. For future runs (e.g. a **Schedule** that checks prices daily), set **Store IDs** to just those values - faster, cheaper, and repeatable.

### Input

| Field                 | Type    | Description                                                                                                                                                              |
| --------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `storeIds`            | Array   | One or more store IDs to scrape. Defaults to one real Tokyo store. Clear it to discover stores by location instead.                                                      |
| `prefectureCode`      | String  | Only used when `storeIds` is empty. Limits store discovery to one of Japan's 47 prefectures (pick from the dropdown - no codes to memorize). Leave empty for nationwide. |
| `productName`         | String  | Only return products whose name contains this text (case-insensitive). Leave empty for the full catalog.                                                                 |
| `maxStores`           | Integer | Maximum number of stores to scrape (default: `0` = unlimited).                                                                                                           |
| `maxProductsPerStore` | Integer | Only used when `productName` is empty. Caps products saved per store (default: `0` = unlimited - every product, every category).                                         |

Example input - full delivery catalog for one store:

```json
{ "storeIds": ["000017"] }
```

Example input - just coffee products, across every store in Tokyo:

```json
{ "prefectureCode": "13", "productName": "コーヒー" }
```

Example input - a quick capped preview of a store's catalog:

```json
{ "storeIds": ["000017"], "maxProductsPerStore": 20 }
```

### Output

Each product is saved as one dataset item:

```json
{
    "productUrl": "https://www.7-now.jp/h_customer/goodsDetail?goodsCd=150303",
    "goodsCd": "150303",
    "name": "アメリカンドッグ",
    "price": 166,
    "priceWithTax": 179.28,
    "image": "https://www.7-now.jp/goods_img/CUS1503030004.JPG",
    "currency": "JPY",
    "inStock": true,
    "storeId": "000017",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-14"
}
```

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

#### Data table

| Field                               | Description                                                                                                                               |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `productUrl`, `goodsCd`             | The product's own page on 7-now.jp, and its internal product code.                                                                        |
| `name`, `image`                     | Product name and photo.                                                                                                                   |
| `price`, `priceWithTax`, `currency` | Pre-tax price, tax-included price, and currency (always `"JPY"`).                                                                         |
| `inStock`                           | Best-effort availability flag - no explicit "sold out" marker was found live, so this is `true` unless a future catalog page exposes one. |
| `storeId`                           | Which store this product's price came from.                                                                                               |
| `scrapedAt`                         | Date (`YYYY-MM-DD`) this Actor captured the item.                                                                                         |

### Pricing / Cost estimation

Scraping 7NOW's delivery catalog requires a full browser session per store to resolve 7NOW's delivery-address form (there's no plain-HTTP shortcut - verified live that even an exact session/token replay via `curl` is rejected). A single store's catalog spans 300+ categories, so a full, uncapped run per store takes a few minutes. Use **Product name filter** or **Max products per store** to keep test runs quick and cheap; scale up once you know what you need.

### Tips for better runs

- Start with **Product name filter** set to something specific if you only care about one item or category - it's the fastest way to get a targeted answer.
- Use **Store IDs** for repeat/scheduled price checks on stores you already know - it's the cheapest, most predictable option.
- Use **Prefecture filter** for broad discovery across one region without listing individual store IDs.
- Use the Apify **Schedule** feature to re-run this Actor periodically and track price changes over time.

### FAQ

**Is this legal?** This Actor only collects publicly visible product and pricing data. You are responsible for using the data in accordance with 7-Eleven's Terms of Service and any applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

**Why are product names in Japanese?** 7NOW publishes its catalog in Japanese only - this Actor passes product names through exactly as published, without machine translation, to avoid introducing errors.

**Why did a store return no products?** A few possible reasons: the store's address didn't fit the format 7NOW's address form expects (rare - some rural addresses use a different shape), the store doesn't participate in 7NOW delivery, or the delivery-address session failed after retrying (transient - re-running usually resolves it).

**Does this scrape store location details (address, hours, phone)?** No - this Actor is focused entirely on 7NOW delivery products and pricing. `storeId` on each product is the only store-level field in the output.

**Found a bug or have a feature request?** Please use the Issues tab on this Actor's page - feedback directly shapes future updates.

# Actor input Schema

## `storeIds` (type: `array`):

Get delivery products from one specific store, several specific stores, or every store this search matches - just this Actor's internal store ID for each (e.g. <code>000017</code>), one per line. 7-Eleven Japan has no public per-store page to copy an ID from, so the usual flow is: run this Actor once with <b>Store IDs</b> empty (nationwide or a <b>Prefecture filter</b>) to see which stores it finds, note the <code>storeId</code> field on any products you care about, then run again with just those IDs here for fast, targeted re-scrapes. Defaults to one real Tokyo store so a first run is fast and cheap - clear this field (and optionally set a <b>Prefecture filter</b>) for broader coverage instead.

## `prefectureCode` (type: `string`):

Only used when <b>Store IDs</b> is empty. Limits the search to one of Japan's 47 prefectures - pick one from the dropdown (no need to look up codes yourself, they're all listed here and in this Actor's README). Leave as <b>All prefectures</b> to search nationwide (~21,000 stores - capped by <b>Max stores</b>, which defaults to unlimited).

## `maxStores` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of stores to scrape in this run. Default is 0 (unlimited - every store matching your filter, or all ~21,000 nationwide if no filter is set). Set a smaller number to cap a broad/nationwide test run.

## `productName` (type: `string`):

Only return products whose name contains this text (case-insensitive, e.g. <code>おにぎり</code> or <code>coffee</code>). Leave empty to get every product 7NOW offers at each matched store - this still has to check every category to find matches, so it isn't faster than a full run, just narrower.

## `maxProductsPerStore` (type: `integer`):

Only used when <b>Product name filter</b> is empty. Caps how many delivery products are saved per store. Default is 0 (unlimited - every product in every category the store offers). A single store's full catalog spans 300+ categories, so set a smaller number here if you want a quick preview instead.
