How to scrape Rakuten Ichiba

Rakuten Ichiba (rakuten.co.jp) is an online store. This guide is built from our own checks of its public pages: what the pages contain, whether our requests get through right now, and the request settings that worked.

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 Rakuten Ichiba 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://search.rakuten.co.jp/search/mall/towel/' \
  --data-urlencode 'recipe=rakuten'

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.

Recipe

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

Search and listing pages

Validated 2026-10-31

One call: recipe=rakuten 5 credits (JS) a page

curl -G 'https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape' \
  -H "ApiKey: $UJEEBU_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://search.rakuten.co.jp/search/mall/towel/' \
  --data-urlencode 'recipe=rakuten'

The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields below; the Ujb-Recipe header names the version (for example rakuten/listing@v1) and Ujb-Credits the cost.

extract_rules (2 rules): the rules behind the recipe

The API applies these rules and the settings js=true for you when you send recipe=rakuten. To change what comes back, send your own extract_rules (they replace the recipe's) or any setting (yours always win). Sites without a recipe work the same way with extract rules.

[].concat(l.itemListElement || []).map(e => ({ name: e.name ?? e.item?.name ?? null, url: e.url ?? e.item?.url ?? null })) : null;"
    }
}

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.

Search and listing pages

Pages through 3 result pages, one at a time, and stops early when a page has no results.

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/rakuten.json.

For search and listing pages, change the query or the page parameter in the URL to paginate, and fetch the pages one after another rather than in bursts. 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. Start with the default (rotating) proxy, the cheapest one that passed most of its attempts in our checks.

  • Read Rakuten Ichiba'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.
