How to scrape Amazon Japan

Amazon Japan is an online store accessible at amazon.co.jp. Developers typically collect product information from search results, listings, and detail pages.

Ujeebu scrapes any public website. Not listed here? Try any URL in the Playground or ask us about a site.

Recipe one call

Use the Amazon Japan recipe: send the URL, get JSON

5 credits (JS) a page
curl -G 'https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape' \
  -H "ApiKey: $UJEEBU_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=%E3%83%87%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%88' \
  --data-urlencode 'recipe=amazon-jp/listing'

The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields of the recipe. Billed like any /scrape call: successful responses cost credits; blocked, timed-out and failed requests are free.

Recipes

Call a recipe by name with the recipe parameter: the Scrape API applies its extract rules and the settings that work on Amazon Japan. Each recipe was run on two real Amazon Japan pages and keeps only the fields that came back on both; it is checked again every week, and hidden if it stops working.

Code

Complete scripts: set the UJEEBU_API_KEY environment variable and run them as they are. Each one calls the recipe by name (the Go SDK has no recipe field, so the Go script sends the recipe's rules and settings itself), prints the extracted JSON, and prints the credits the request cost (the Ujb-Credits response header) on stderr. A non-200 answer stops the script with the API's error message.

SDK tabs use the official Ujeebu SDKs (ujeebu-python 0.1.5, @ujeebu-org/ujeebu-sdk 0.1.2, github.com/ujeebu/ujeebu-go v0.1.8); there is no PHP SDK, so the PHP tab calls the API with curl. For agents and scripts, the same status and settings are at /scrape/amazon-jp.json.

Collect detail page URLs from listing pages first, then fetch each detail page. Our checks run with JavaScript rendering on (js=true): keep it on.

  • Catalog and assortment trackingFollow which products appear for a search or a category, and in which position.More on this use case
  • Ratings and reviews trackingWatch how ratings and review counts move over time for your products and competitors.More on this use case

Limits and etiquette

  • Public pages only. Pages behind a login, and data shown only to signed-in users, are out of scope.
  • Keep the rate modest: fetch pages one after another or with low concurrency, and cache what you already have.
  • robots.txt of www.amazon.co.jp (read 2026-11-08): public pages allowed for generic crawlers; no crawl delay set.
  • Read Amazon Japan's terms of service before you collect data at scale, and do not collect personal data you have no basis to process. This guide is not legal advice.

Questions

Can you scrape Amazon Japan with Ujeebu?

Yes. 30 of 30 checks of public Amazon Japan pages passed in the last 7 days with the settings on this page.

Which settings work for Amazon Japan?

Call /scrape with js=true, device=mobile. On the default (rotating) proxy, 30 of 34 attempts passed in the last 7 days. Our retry layer found that this site needs "js + mobile".

How many credits does a Amazon Japan request cost?

With these settings a request costs up to 5 credits. Only responses with HTTP 200 or 404 are billed: a blocked or timed-out request is free.

Which fields can I extract from Amazon Japan?

With the extraction recipes on this page, validated on real Amazon Japan pages through our API: search and listing pages: url, title, image, rating, review_count; product pages: title, price, currency, rating, review_count, brand, availability, image, sku, description, url, specs. Pass the recipe as extract_rules in a POST to /scrape and the API returns those fields as JSON.

Is it allowed to scrape Amazon Japan?

Its robots.txt allows generic crawlers on the page types in this guide. Collect public pages only, read Amazon Japan's terms of service, keep your request rate modest and do not collect personal data you have no basis to process. This is not legal advice.

How fresh is this page?

The status and settings come from our own health checks of amazon.co.jp, which run around the clock. Last check: 2026-11-08 15:32:57 UTC; last pass: 2026-11-08 15:32:57 UTC.
