What does this Actor do?

• You give: a jp.mercari.com search with filters set on the site (price range, condition, on sale or sold out, sort), copied from the address bar.
• You get: item ID and link, title as the seller wrote it (mostly Japanese), price in yen, status (on_sale, sold_out, or trading = bought, sale in progress), condition in English with its number (1 new, unused; 2 like new; 3 no noticeable scratches or stains; 4 some scratches or stains; 5 scratches or stains; 6 poor overall condition), who pays shipping, brand (on about 2 in 3 items in the historical tests), size, category ID, name and path (in Japanese), seller ID, whether a Mercari Shops store sells it, thumbnail, and listed and last-updated times.
• How many: up to 120 items per page; the Actor follows the pages. "Maximum results" counts the whole run, across all your searches.
• Speed: in the historical local tests, 250 items from one search (3 pages) took 16 seconds (it runs a browser).
• Price: $2.70 per 1,000 items (20 items = $0.054). No start fee.
• Not included: item descriptions, extra photos, seller names, English titles, and a separate sold date.

A real record from a local test run on 2026-10-05, shortened to 11 of its 21 fields. Not shown: currency, conditionId, shippingPaidBy, size, categoryId, sellerId, isShop, imageUrl, updatedAt, searchUrl. condition is Mercari's condition scale in English (1 = new, unused; 6 = poor overall condition). categoryName and categoryPath are Mercari's own category names, in Japanese. Titles stay in the seller's language, mostly Japanese.

The run also saves an OUTCOME record in its key-value store, and the same sentence as the run's status message: COMPLETE (your pages have no more results), MAX_RESULTS (stopped at Maximum results), SPENDING_LIMIT, PARTIAL (some pages failed to load), PAGE_LIMIT, NO_NEW_RESULTS (Only new results is on and nothing is new), NO_MATCHING_RESULTS, NO_RESULTS or FAILED. Only FAILED ends the run as failed.

Pricing

You pay $2.70 per 1,000 items, only for items saved. No start fee. Platform costs (servers and Apify Proxy) are included in the price. Example: the default maximum of 20 saved items costs $0.054 (20 × $0.0027). Fewer saved results cost proportionally less.

• A record found on two of your pages is saved and charged once per run.
• A run that cannot read anything stops with a reason and costs nothing.
• A record seen again in a later run is saved and charged again, unless "Only new results" is on.
• Set "Maximum results" or a spending limit to cap the cost.

Notes

• This Actor is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the website it reads.
• It reads public search results only and needs no login. Seller IDs are the public IDs shown on the site; no names or contact details are collected.
• The site builds its pages with JavaScript, so this Actor runs a headless browser (default memory 2 GB).
• Found a problem? Open an issue on the Issues tab and include the run link.
