Creema Handmade Craft Marketplace Scraper

Scrape handmade craft item listings from Creema — Japan's largest handmade marketplace with over 15 million items from ~250,000 creators. Extract structured item data including title, creator name, category hierarchy, price, material, images, and engagement metrics across all major product categories.

What data does it extract?

Each record contains:

Field Description
item_id Creema item ID (numeric)
title Item title (Japanese)
creator_name Creator or brand name
category Category breadcrumb hierarchy (e.g. "Accessories > Earrings > Stud earrings")
price Price with currency code (e.g. 2400.00 JPY)
favorite_count Number of favorites/likes
material Primary material(s) used
image_urls Newline-separated list of product image URLs
detail_url Full URL of the item detail page
rating Average review rating (null — dynamically loaded, not in server HTML)
review_count Number of reviews (null — dynamically loaded, not in server HTML)

How does it work?

  1. Discovery: Seeds from 16 top-level category listing pages covering the full catalog (accessories, fashion, bags, art, cosmetics, etc.)
  2. Pagination: Iterates through paginated category listings (/listing/N?page=P), each returning ~125 items
  3. Extraction: Fetches each item detail page (/item/NNNNN/detail) and extracts structured data from embedded schema.org/ProductGroup JSON-LD plus DOM elements

Input

Parameter Type Description Default
maxItems integer Maximum number of item records to scrape 10

Usage notes

  • Language: All content is in Japanese (UTF-8)
  • Rating/Review fields: These fields are loaded via JavaScript after page load and are not available in server-rendered HTML. They will always be null in the output.
  • Category coverage: The scraper seeds from all 16 top-level Creema categories; records span the full catalog
  • Rate limiting: The actor uses polite concurrency (5 concurrent requests) respecting Creema's crawl guidelines
