SUUMO Data Parser & API

SUUMO is Japan’s largest property portal — ~30M monthly visits (Similarweb, late 2025) and ~8M listings — and PropAPIS extracts its rental, resale, new-build, commercial and land data, including floor plans, photos, station walk-time and building age, through a single REST API. Owned by Recruit Holdings, SUUMO carries the richest residential field set in East Asia, and PropAPIS serves it without you building or maintaining a JS-heavy scraper.

Platform Overview

Data Availability

SUUMO is the most field-rich residential source in the region. Listings carry floor plans, photo galleries, layout codes (e.g. 2LDK), nearest-station walk-time and building age — the structured residential detail East-Asia portals are known for (per the East & Southeast Asia research report). Note: comprehensive agent-only data flows through REINS (the broker MLS, not public), and official transaction prices come from the separate MLIT government API; SUUMO is the public consumer layer.

• Rent: Long-term residential rentals (賃貸)
• Buy: Resale apartments and houses (中古)
