Yahoo Japan Auctions Scraper

🚀 Yahoo Japan Auctions Scraper

Get real sold prices and live listings from Yahoo! Auctions Japan (ヤフオク!), Japan's largest auction marketplace. The Yahoo Japan Auctions Scraper searches by keyword and returns final prices, bid counts, condition, category, seller rating and end times. Every item is labelled as an auction, a fixed-price sale or a flea-market sale, so you compare like with like.

✨ Features

• 💴 Sold prices (last ~180 days): Final prices of ended auctions and completed sales, newest first. Built for resale pricing, arbitrage and market research.
• 🔨 Live listings: Current price, bids, buy-now price, time left and end time for items on sale now.
• 🏷️ Sale type on every row: auction, fixedPrice or fleamarket. Nearly half of Yahoo's "sold" results are fixed-price or flea-market sales, not auctions.
• 📚 Full history, not just the first 15,000: Yahoo only lets you page through 15,000 results per search. Ask for more and the scraper splits the search into price ranges automatically.
• 📅 Sold-after date: Only the sales you haven't collected yet.
• 🔍 Filters: Price range in yen and category ID.
• 🧾 Clean data: ISO timestamps (Japan time), numeric prices, condition code plus an English label, full category path and working links (flea-market items link to PayPay Flea Market).

🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter keywords: Japanese or English, e.g. nintendo switch, ポケモンカード, rolex.
2. Pick sold or live results and, optionally, a price range, category and "sold after" date.
3. Run the scraper: Get one row per item, ready to export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

💰 Pricing

❓ Good to Know

• Sold results cover about the last 180 days. That is how long Yahoo keeps them.
• price is the final price for sold items and the current price for live items, in Japanese yen.
• Condition codes follow Yahoo's six grades: NEW, USED10 (like new), USED20, USED40, USED60, USED80 (poor). Live results do not include condition.
• Seller names are hidden by Yahoo and are not included. Seller rating and store/individual status are.
• Over 15,000 items per keyword are collected across price ranges, so they are not in strict date order.
• Yahoo Japan is not available from the EU and UK. The default proxy works; don't choose European proxy countries.
