Details
From the project READMEJapan Market Data — Apify Store Actor Directory
Production-grade Apify Store actors powering Japanese e-commerce and market data collection. Built with a production data-collection pipeline maintaining a 38-day daily streak.

Why Japan Market Data?
Japan is the world's third-largest economy and home to unique markets that English-language tools ignore:
- Mercari Japan — 231K monthly active users, 5M+ daily listings
- Yahoo! Auctions Japan — 15M+ items, the largest auction platform in Japan
- Rakuten Ichiba — Japan's Amazon equivalent, ¥2T+ annual GMV
- DLsite — 1M+ doujin/indie titles, the world's largest Japanese indie content marketplace
- Mandarake — 130+ physical stores, global anime collectibles leader
- MLIT — Official government real estate transaction data (the only MLS-style source in Japan)
Most AI agents have zero access to these data sources. This project closes that gap.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
