Mercari Image Search Scraper

🚀 Mercari Image Search Scraper

Find Mercari Japan listings from a photo. The Mercari Image Search Scraper takes image URLs and returns the visually matching listings from jp.mercari.com, the same "search by photo" the Mercari app offers, with price in yen, on-sale or sold status, brand, condition, size, photos and seller. Switch to sold listings to get sold comps by photo: what items that look like yours actually sold for. Built for resellers, buyers sourcing from Japan, pricing and authentication checks, and matching your stock to Mercari listings.

✨ Features

• 📷 Photo in, listings out: Any direct image URL (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or AVIF, up to 10 MB) or data: URL. Large photos are resized for you. One search per image.
• 🧾 Sold comps by photo: Choose on-sale listings, sold listings or both. Sold rows show the final listed price the item went for.
• 💴 Price filters: Limit matches to a yen price range.
• 🏷️ Rich rows: Name, price (JPY), status, brand, condition, size, category, shipping payer, thumbnails and photos, listing dates, seller ID or Mercari Shops shop ID, and a direct link.
• 🔢 Deep results: Up to 120 matches per page, most similar first, up to ~900 unique matches per photo. Repeats between pages are removed.
• 💸 Pay per search: One price per image searched and a small price per extra page. Images that fail to load or find no matches are free.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Paste image URLs: Product photos from your stock, a listing on another site, or any page.
2. Pick status, price range and depth: On sale, sold or all; optional min and max price in yen; how many matches per image.
3. Run the scraper: You get one row per matching listing, numbered by similarity and grouped by the photo that found it.

• isShopsItem marks Mercari Shops listings (business sellers). They have a shopId and a /shops/product/ link; regular listings have a sellerId.
• Field names match the Mercari Listings Scraper, so you can merge the two datasets.
• Images that fail come back as { "searchImage": "...", "status": "image_error" | "failed" | "no_matches", "error": "..." } rows and are not charged.
