Suumo.jp Japan Real Estate Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

Suumo.jp is Japan's largest real-estate aggregator, covering rentals (chintai), sales (baikyaku), and new construction across all 47 prefectures. This Actor accepts one or more Suumo search-result page URLs — the kind you build by choosing a city, budget, and layout in the Suumo search UI — then follows pagination to collect every visible listing. Each row captures the fields that matter most to analysts, investors, and relocation researchers: the JP-native monetary fields that competitors strip out (deposit, key money, management fee), the madori layout code, and walking time from the nearest transit station.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi replays real Chrome / Firefox TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not a Python script.
• 🌐 Residential proxy rotation via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every block, with optional JP country targeting for geo-restricted pages.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per page, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Pagination handled automatically — follow as many pages as you need, or cap with maxPages for a quick spot-check.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, monetary values normalized to integer Yen, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable listing IDs.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you pay only for results that land in the dataset. No data, no charge (beyond the small start-up fee).

Use cases

• Relocation research — pull 1LDK rentals in central Tokyo, filter by walk time and deposit, compare neighbourhoods side-by-side in a spreadsheet.
• Investment analysis — track price-per-m² across Osaka wards over time by scheduling daily runs and diffing successive datasets.
• Property management benchmarking — monitor competing listings in a target micro-market; alert when a new unit undercuts your asking rent.
• Academic real-estate research — build a structured corpus of JP listing data without hand-copying fields from Japanese HTML pages.
• Immigration/expat tooling — power a filtered rental search app for non-Japanese speakers by normalizing the JP-language fields your app then translates.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.

Pricing

You pay only for results that land. Cap any run with maxTotalChargeUsd. See pricing & billing for worked examples.

Limitations

• Japanese-language source — building names, addresses, property types, and layout codes are in Japanese script (kanji, hiragana, katakana). The Actor preserves them as-is; translation is left to your downstream stack.
• Deposit / key money as rent multiples — Suumo often shows shikikin and reikin as 1ヶ月 (1 month's rent) rather than an absolute Yen amount. Where the implementer can resolve the multiplier against the price, they do; otherwise the field may be null.
• Pagination cap — very large searches (e.g. all of Tokyo) can run to hundreds of pages. Use maxItems or maxPages to cap the run on the free Apify tier.
• Listing freshness — Suumo does not expose a "last updated" timestamp for each listing. scraped_at reflects when the Actor visited the page, not when the landlord last edited it.
• New construction (shin-chiku) — some new-build listing pages have a different HTML structure from resale/rental. The implementer's parser may need a separate branch for those pages.
