How can I scrape product listings from Rakuten Japan using Python?
I use Requests and BeautifulSoup to scrape static elements like product titles, prices, and categories on Rakuten Japan’s main product pages.

For dynamic content, like reviews and real-time stock information, Selenium with headless Chrome works well, especially when combined with randomized delays.

Rakuten often provides structured data via JSON embedded in HTML. I parse this directly to capture detailed product info without complex HTML scraping.

Using rotating proxies reduces detection risk, as Rakuten’s servers monitor for frequent requests from single IPs.
