Does it cover physical doujin goods?

Coverage follows DLsite's own catalogue, which is digital-first; physical sourcing is covered by the Mandarake scraper instead.

Are ratings and review counts included?

Whatever the listing page publishes — rating, review count, circle name — can be captured alongside the title and price.

Is the content adult-only?

DLsite hosts both all-ages and adult sections. You scope a run by the search terms and sections you supply; the scraper returns what the catalogue shows.

Japan Market Data › DLsite Scraper API

DLsite Scraper API

DLsite is the largest marketplace for independently produced Japanese digital works: doujin games, comics, voice dramas, ASMR and illustration sets. Its catalogue is enormous, categorised in Japanese, and refreshed constantly, which makes manual market research impractical beyond a handful of titles.

This scraper converts DLsite listing data into JSON so a whole category can be sampled at once. That makes it usable for trend research, recommendation features, or simply understanding what is actually selling inside a niche.

What you get

`item_name`	Work title as published.
`current_price_jpy`	Price in yen, including discounted campaigns where present.
`category`	Genres and tags attached to the work.
`item_url`	Product page URL.
`image_url`	Cover image URL.

Field names follow the actor's dataset schema and can differ slightly between actors — check the actor page for the exact input and output schema before wiring it into a pipeline.

Use cases

Trend research: find which tags and genres are gaining listings within a category.
Catalogue tooling: enrich an internal database with titles, covers and prices.
Price tracking: watch how campaign discounts change the effective price of a work.

How a run works

Starting a run: call the Apify API with the actor id fruitful_quintessence~dlsite-scraper, or press Start on the actor page and download the dataset. Check the actor page for its exact input schema — a run is scoped by the search terms you supply, and billing is per result returned (roughly $0.002 per item).

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fruitful_quintessence~dlsite-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["your", "search", "terms"]}'
