Which formats are available?

Datasets export to CSV, JSON, Excel and other common formats directly from the run's dataset view.

Do I need to write code?

No. A run can be started from the Apify console and the dataset downloaded from the UI; code is optional for automation.

How do I compare two snapshots?

Export both, match rows on item_url, and compare the price column — the same diff approach as an API-driven monitor.

Japan Market Data to CSV

Not every analysis needs a pipeline. A surprising amount of useful work happens in a spreadsheet: sorting a category by price, filtering to a condition grade, and eyeballing where the outliers sit.

Apify datasets export directly to CSV, Excel and JSON, so the practical workflow is to run a scoped search, export the rows, and open the file. For recurring work, the same dataset feeds Python or a BI tool without changing anything upstream.

What you get

`item_name`	Column for sorting and filtering.
`current_price_jpy`	Numeric column, safe to sort and aggregate in a spreadsheet.
`condition`	Filter column for separating grades.
`item_url`	Reference column for opening the original listing.
`image_url`	Image column for visual review.

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

Hand a category overview to a colleague who works in spreadsheets, not JSON.
Filter a category to one grade and sort by price to find the cheapest acceptable copy.
Archive a dated export as a price snapshot for later comparison.

How a run works

Starting a run: pick the actor for your marketplace from the publisher page, then start it from the Apify console or the API. Billing is per result returned (roughly $0.002 per item), so a scoped search stays cheap.
