rooter, Inc.（株式会社ルーター） is a Tokyo-based Japanese company founded in 2009. Its core business covers web crawling, site controllers, the ad creative data service “アドクロール,” the AI-powered “AIクローラー,” and RPA/data automation. It feels more like a “data collection and automation engineering service provider + vertical advertising data product” than a purely self-service crawling platform for developers.
Its services span data aggregation, open data construction, data hubs, and data consulting. Data collection supports sources such as the web, PDFs, SNS, and native apps, with capabilities including parsing, structuring, entity matching, cleaning, and ongoing operations. AIクローラー is designed for unknown sites and unstructured information: it discovers and collects targets based on keywords and content semantics, making it suitable for company lists, municipal facilities, news, public financial data, and similar use cases. アドクロール focuses on competitive analysis of ad creatives. It supports 22 types of ad media and includes ad search, automatic competitor suggestions, video A/B test analysis, text-appeal search, LP reverse lookup, rankings, CSV downloads, Slack/Chatwork/email notifications, and has begun offering MCP so that generative AI can access advertising data.
The official website does not disclose specific pricing. Engagements are mainly handled through contact, requirements confirmation, feasibility verification, sample data, production buildout, and maintenance/operations. アドクロール offers a free trial and brochure request. Integration information is relatively rich: its data hub mentions support for Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, AWS, GCP, Azure, Salesforce, SAP Cloud, kintone, Canly, Tableau, Looker, Power BI, and others, and can deliver CSV data via AWS S3 and similar methods.
Its strengths are deep crawling experience, coverage of complex data sources such as web, apps, PDFs, and ad creatives, plus an end-to-end support chain from collection to cleaning, analysis, BI, and AI adoption. The downside is that its developer self-service capabilities are unclear: there is no obvious public API reference, SDK, SLA, compliance boundary, or pricing table, and no mention of open-source or self-hosted options. It appears to be relatively project-based, so procurement requires substantial communication and validation upfront.
It is best suited to advertising agencies in the Japanese market, D2C/SaaS advertising teams, enterprise data teams, government/municipal open data projects, and AI teams that need custom crawlers. The main site provides no information about access from China, so this is unknown; payment methods are also not disclosed. If you need international coverage, a self-service API, or a more standardized crawler cloud, you may compare it with Apify, Bright Data, Oxylabs, Zyte, Diffbot, Octoparse, and similar services.
