Rakuten Ranking API Documentation Read the Rakuten Ichiba sales ranking. Choose the period (daily, weekly, monthly or realtime), a genre, and optionally the female or male buyer ranking. Each row has the rank, the change since the last period (up, down, same or new), the price as a number in JPY, the review count, the shop and an id, shop_code and manage_number that the item and reviews endpoints accept unchanged. Rakuten shortens long titles on the ranking page: use the item endpoint for the full title. Some genres have no ranking for a period. The list is then empty and the request is not billed. updated_on is the day of the ranking. Cost: 1 credit per request. Empty lists and failed requests are not billed.
