Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a paid subscription? No. The Rakuten application ID is free to register at webservice.rakuten.co.jp.

Can I search in English? Yes. Keywords work in both Japanese and English, though Japanese keywords typically return the widest selection.

How do I target one shop or one category? Use the shop code to restrict to a single Rakuten shop, or the genre ID to restrict to a category. You can combine them with a keyword and a price band.

How are prices expressed? Prices are in Japanese yen (JPY). Each record also carries tax and postage flags so you know whether the price includes tax and whether postage is free.

How fresh is the data? Every record is read live at run time, so prices, stock and review counts reflect the moment of the run (see observedAt).
