Yahoo! Auctions is built for buyers in Japan - yen prices, prefectures, Japanese labels - so our crawlers work through Japanese network exits, with pacing, proxy rotation, rendering and CAPTCHA handling included. You choose the scope - keywords, categories, sellers, price bands, live listings or closed results - and the cadence; we build the crawler, keep it running and repair it when the pages change.
Japanese titles stay as written, while labels such as condition, seller type and the auction flags map to fixed English values. Delivery goes out as CSV, Excel or JSON over SFTP, to Google Cloud Storage or through our own API, with field documentation. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.
Our Yahoo Auctions scraper keys every row on the auction ID, which ends each listing address under /jp/auction/ and is printed on the page as オークションID, and reads the listing page with the labels the site itself uses. Each field gets its own column with an English name; the Japanese label is kept once in the field documentation.
Search tiles carry the current and buy-it-now prices, bid count, time left and a shipping line, so live listings can be collected from a keyword list before any listing page is opened.
The closed auctions are what most buyers come for. For any keyword, Yahoo! Auctions keeps a 落札相場 page of auctions that ended in the last 180 days: each result shows the winning bid (落札), the starting price, the number of bids, the end date and time, the ship-from prefecture and the seller's rating, and the page opens with the lowest, average and highest winning bid for the query, sorted by end time. To scrape Yahoo Auctions sold listings at scale, we run those pages per model or keyword and keep each result as a row.
Live search is sliced the way the site slices it: the all, auction and fixed price (定額) tabs with their counts, condition, store or individual seller, current-price and buy-it-now bands, region, and quick filters such as 鑑定付き (appraised), ending within an hour, anonymous delivery and convenience-store pickup. Shipping on search tiles is quoted for one destination prefecture, so we fix it - Tokyo unless you choose another - and record it per row.
Repeated runs on live listings give a price history for each auction: how the current price climbs, how the watch count and bids build up, and whether an automatic extension pushed the close past its scheduled end.
Yahoo! Auctions - Yahoo!オークション, long known as Yahuoku (ヤフオク!) - opened in September 1999 and is run today by LY Corporation. ヤフオク! became its official name in 2013; on 1 November 2023 the service returned to the Yahoo! brand, alongside its fixed-price sister market Yahoo!フリマ. Many buyers still say Yahuoku, so both names matter when data is matched.
Listings come in two formats: auctions, where bids push the current price up until the end time, and 定額 fixed price listings that sell at the stated amount. Many auctions also carry a buy-it-now price that ends them at once. Sellers are either ストア, registered businesses trading under a store name, or 個人, private individuals. Prices are in yen with the tax shown, shipping is quoted from the seller's prefecture, and many listings offer anonymous delivery (匿名配送) or collection at a convenience store.

If you sell online, run a marketplace, or advise e-commerce clients, you already know why eBay matters: it’s one of the few places where big retailers compete side by side with thousands of small merchants and private sellers.
E-commerce teams do not just need “some” competitor data anymore. They need a continuous stream of real prices, discounts, stock levels, reviews, and seller behavior from the platforms that actually shape their markets.
Amazon provides valuable information gathered in one place: products, reviews, ratings, exclusive offers, news, etc. So scraping data from Amazon will help solve the problems of the time-consuming process of extracting data from e-commerce.
ScrapeIt runs data collection as a managed service. On an auction site such as Yahoo! Auctions that means timing as much as parsing: listings change by the minute near the close and move into closed results afterwards, so we schedule runs around end times. Usernames of private sellers are personal data under GDPR and are left out by default; store names stay in. A free project assessment comes first, and a sample can be ordered before any plan starts.
Yes. The ScrapeIt Yahoo Auctions API serves auction ID, title, current price, buy-it-now price, number of bids and end time - plus the winning bid once an auction closes - as JSON from an endpoint we run, on the refresh schedule you pick. The same records come as CSV or XLSX files, a JSON feed or a direct database load.
Yes. Listings, current prices, bid counts and closed auction results on Yahoo! Auctions open without an account. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on Yahoo Auctions - and we collect it legally.
The closed-result pages reach back 180 days from the day of the run. Anything older drops out of public view, so a longer series is built by running the same queries on a schedule and keeping every result already collected.
Yes. Seller type - ストア for businesses, 個人 for private sellers - is a filter on the site and a field on each listing, so it becomes a column. Store names are kept; usernames of private sellers are left out by default and only their rating score stays.
Titles and descriptions stay in Japanese as the seller wrote them, and an English translation column can be added. Condition grades, seller type and the automatic extension and early end flags map to fixed English values, and prices stay in yen with the tax amount in its own column.
