Rakuten

The rakuten_search source is designed to retrieve Rakuten search result pages. We can return the HTML for any Rakuten page you like. To see the response example with retrieved data, download this sample output file in HTML format.

Request samples

The samples below illustrates how you can get a Rakuten search result.

curl 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
