Rakuten data scraping use cases

Real-time Rakuten intelligence for your business.

Cross-region catalog comparison

Titles
Categories
Category tree
Rakuten runs separate storefronts by market, and the same product is not offered or categorised the same way in each. Scrape titles, categories and trees across the JP, TW and FR properties to compare how the range differs by region.

Marketplace assortment mapping

Category tree
Categories
Brand
A marketplace this size is navigated entirely through its category tree. Scrape product categories and trees alongside titles to map how the catalog is organised, which departments run deepest, and where a brand sits inside it.

Brand and seller coverage

Brand
Categories
Product URL
The brand field turns a flat listing dump into a competitive picture. Scrape it across the catalog to measure how much shelf space each brand holds and where a label is present in one region but absent in another.

New listing detection

Item ID
Variant ID
Product URL
Marketplace inventory turns over constantly. Scrape item and variant IDs on a schedule and diff the results to catch products as they list and spot what disappears, without re-reading the whole catalog each time.
