## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Daiso Korea Scraper — Real Units Sold, Prices & Reviews

Scrape **Daiso Korea (daisomall.co.kr)** — the 1,500-store value retail giant whose ₩1,000–5,000 products keep going viral worldwide (Daiso beauty dupes, kitchen gadgets, organizers). Search any keyword or collect customer reviews, and get clean structured JSON with a field almost no retailer exposes: **total units sold per product**.

### Why this data is special

- 📈 **Real sales volume** — every product returns `totalSold` (cumulative units ordered). Not estimated popularity: actual demand numbers, straight from Daiso's own API
- 💬 **Deep review data** — full text, star rating, date, review photos, **repurchase flag**, and structured attribute answers (e.g. "두께: 보기보다 두꺼워요" / thickness, texture, durability)
- 🇰🇷 **Trend origin signal** — viral "Daiso dupes" appear here months before they hit TikTok, Amazon, or resellers

### 🤖 Five questions an AI agent can answer with this Actor

Connected through MCP (see below) or called from a workflow, this Actor lets an agent answer questions such as:

1. *"What are the 20 best-selling beauty products at Daiso Korea by actual units sold?"* — `mode: "search"`, `keywords: ["화장품"]`, sort by `totalSold`
2. *"Which Daiso sheet masks launched recently are already selling thousands of units?"* — search `마스크팩`, filter `isNew` and `totalSold`
3. *"Is the VT PDRN toner sold out online, and what do buyers say about it?"* — search `VT PDRN` for `isSoldOut`, then `mode: "reviews"` with its `productNo`
4. *"What share of reviews for this product are repurchases, and what do the attribute ratings say about thickness or texture?"* — reviews mode; group `isRepurchase`, read `attributes`
5. *"Compare Daiso's ₩1,000–5,000 price points for storage boxes with their ratings and sales."* — search `수납`, tabulate `price`, `rating`, `totalSold`

### ⚡ Try it in 30 seconds (free)

1. Click **Try for free** — the input is pre-filled with a keyword.
2. Click **Start**. A few hundred products take 10–20 seconds.
3. Open **Output**, sort by `totalSold`, and you have Daiso Korea's real best-seller list for that category. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Apify's free plan includes $5 of credit every month — about 1,200 results with this Actor, no card required. Pricing is $4 per 1,000 items + $0.005 per run, platform usage included.

### 📊 What the data shows (September 2026 sample)

I ran this Actor on 15 category keywords — 2,349 unique products, 24.8 million units sold in total — and ranked them by `totalSold`:

| # | Product | Price | Units sold |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Eclat wet wipes, 150 sheets | ₩1,000 | 994,677 |
| 2 | Pull-out kitchen towels, 150 sheets | ₩1,000 | 770,852 |
| 3 | Tempo toilet paper roll | ₩500 | 590,389 |
| 4 | **VT PDRN Glow sheet mask** | ₩1,000 | 499,272 |
| 5 | Mommy Care sea grape skin pads, 80 pads | ₩5,000 | 342,377 |
| 8 | Boncep freeze-dried Vita C ampoule kit | ₩5,000 | 267,685 |
| 12 | VT PDRN Glow toner, 200 ml | ₩5,000 | 212,668 |
| 22 | VT Reedle Shot 100 ampoule, 2 ml × 6 | ₩3,000 | 149,840 |

33 of the top 48 products are beauty or personal care; 23 cost ₩1,000 or less; average rating 4.80; none sold out. Six VT products in the top 48. This is the kind of answer you get from one run — for any category, any time.

### What you can do with it

- 🔍 **Spot viral products early** — sort by `totalSold` to see what Koreans actually buy in volume
- 🧴 **K-beauty & dupe research** — track the Daiso beauty products that keep selling out
- 🏭 **Product development & sourcing** — see which designs, sizes, and price points win in the world's most competitive value-retail market
- 📊 **Review mining** — thousands of structured Korean reviews with photos and repurchase signals, ready for sentiment analysis or LLM pipelines
- 🤖 **Feed AI agents & dashboards** — clean JSON output for Sheets, BI tools, or RAG

### Modes

#### 1. Search mode (`mode: "search"`)

Search products by keyword (Korean works best: `수세미`, `수납`, `화장품`, `주방`...). Returns name, price, rating, review count, **total units sold**, 3-level category, image, sold-out/new/online-only flags. Results include total match count and paginate automatically.

#### 2. Reviews mode (`mode: "reviews"`)

Collect customer reviews for specific products (pass `productNo` values from a search run, or product URLs). Returns review text, star rating, date, masked author, review photos, **repurchase flag**, MD's-choice flag, and structured attribute ratings. Newest first.

### Example input

### Why this Actor

- **Built by a Korean marketing practitioner** — I work with Korean retail and e-commerce daily, so the data model reflects how the platform actually works
- **Fast and affordable** — lightweight HTTP, no headless browser
- **Privacy-aware** — author IDs come pre-masked by the platform; no personal data is collected

### Q\&A

**How do I scrape Daiso Korea (daisomall.co.kr)?**
Run this Actor with a Korean keyword such as `화장품` (cosmetics), `마스크팩` (sheet mask), `주방` (kitchen) or `수납` (storage). It calls Daiso's own search API and returns every matching product as structured data — no browser, no login, no Korean IP.

**What are the best-selling products at Daiso Korea?**
Every product comes with `totalSold`, Daiso's cumulative units-ordered counter. Run a category keyword, sort by `totalSold`, and you have the real best-seller list for that category. In my September 2026 sample of 2,349 products, the top beauty item was the VT PDRN Glow sheet mask with about 500,000 units sold at ₩1,000.

**Does Daiso Korea have a public API?**
No. There is no official public API. This Actor returns the same data as JSON, CSV or Excel, and you can call it over the Apify REST API.

**How do I find viral Daiso beauty products and dupes?**
Search `화장품`, `스킨케어`, `마스크팩`, `선크림` or a brand such as `VT`, then sort by `totalSold` or `reviewCount`. Use `isNew` to spot recent launches that are already selling fast.

**Can I get Daiso product reviews?**
Yes — switch `mode` to `reviews` and pass `productNo` values from a search run. You get review text, stars, date, photos, a repurchase flag and Daiso's structured attribute ratings.

**Is this Daiso Japan or Daiso Korea?**
Daiso Korea (아성다이소, daisomall.co.kr) — a separate company from Daiso Japan, with its own product lines, including the Korean beauty collaborations (VT, Boncep, Madeca 21) that are not sold in Japanese Daiso stores.

**Are prices in USD?**
Prices are in KRW exactly as shown on the site (₩1,400 ≈ US$1). Most products cost ₩1,000–5,000.

### 🤖 Use it from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent (MCP)

This Actor works as a tool for AI agents through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp). Add this server URL to Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client and the agent can call the Actor by itself:

```
https://mcp.apify.com?tools=cocomoon/daiso-scraper
```

Then just ask in plain language — for example: *"What are the 15 best-selling sheet masks at Daiso Korea by units sold?"*

### FAQ

**Do I need a Korean IP or account?** No login is used; the default Apify proxy works.

**Can I schedule it?** Yes — use Apify Schedules for daily/weekly trend tracking and feed the dataset anywhere (Sheets, S3, webhook, MCP/AI agent).

**Is this legal?** The Actor collects only publicly available product and review listing data, with author names already masked by the platform. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws and the target site's terms.

**Something broken or missing?** Open an issue on this Actor — I respond quickly.

**⭐ Did it save you time?** A quick star rating on this page takes 5 seconds and helps other teams find a scraper that works for Korean sites.

### Fields under review (candidates for removal)

These fields add little over their neighbours and may be dropped in a future version — if you rely on one of them, say so in an issue and it stays:

- **search**: `source` and `mode` (constant per run), `currency` (always `KRW`), `onlineOnly` (rarely true)
- **reviews**: `source`, `mode`, `boughtOnline` (almost always false — reviews are mostly in-store purchases), `isMdChoice` (very rare)
