## 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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).
# README
## PayPay Flea Market Scraper — Japan resale listings & prices
Scrape listings from **[PayPay Flea Market (PayPayフリマ)](https://paypayfleamarket.yahoo.co.jp/)**, one of Japan's largest resale marketplaces. Search any keyword in Japanese or English and get prices, conditions, brands, sellers and images as clean JSON — no login, no browser, no proxies to configure.
### What you get
```json
{
"itemId": "z641988800",
"title": "iPhone 16 ケース ブラック イラストデザイン",
"itemUrl": "https://paypayfleamarket.yahoo.co.jp/item/z641988800",
"price": 550,
"currency": "JPY",
"condition": "new",
"brand": "Apple",
"category": "スマホアクセサリー",
"likeCount": 12,
"itemStatus": "OPEN",
"isPriceDown": true,
"thumbnail": "https://.../image.jpg",
"sellerId": "a273ad10..."
}
````
Every listing as one row — numeric yen price, condition, brand, category (with full path), like count, on-sale status, price-drop flag, image, hashtags and seller ID.
### Who uses this
- **Resale & arbitrage** — find underpriced items and compare against Mercari, Yahoo Auctions, Rakuma
- **Price research** — real resale prices by keyword, brand and condition
- **Brand monitoring** — track secondhand pricing and availability of your products
- **Sourcing** — surface deals and price-drops as they appear
### How to use
1. Enter a **keyword** — Japanese or English (`iphone`, `スニーカー`, `時計`).
2. Set **Max items** (default 100).
3. Choose **Sort** — relevance, newest, price low→high, price high→low.
4. Optionally set **On-sale items only** to exclude sold-out listings.
5. Run, then download from the **Dataset** tab as JSON / CSV / Excel, or fetch via API.
### Pricing model
You pay per result — a small fee for each item returned. A 500-item export costs less than a coffee.
### FAQ
**Japanese keywords?** Yes — both `スニーカー` and `sneakers` return results.
**How fresh is the data?** Live. Every run queries PayPay Flea Market in real time.
**Is this legal?** The Actor collects only publicly visible listing data, the same any visitor sees. It does not log in or access private data. You are responsible for complying with the marketplace's terms and applicable laws.
**Something broke?** Open an issue on this Actor's page — typically fixed within 24 hours.
