## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Doda.jp Jobs Scraper — Japan 転職・求人

Scrape job listings from [doda.jp](https://doda.jp), **Japan's #2 job site** (10M+ monthly visits). English field names, original Japanese content, and salaries normalized to **annual JPY and USD** — ready for international recruiters, market intelligence, and data teams without any Japanese-processing pipeline of your own.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | doda.jp **search URLs** — keyword, area, occupation, salary and all other filters are reproduced exactly. Takes precedence: when set, keyword search is skipped. |
| `keyword` | string | Search term (Japanese or English), e.g. `エンジニア`, `データサイエンティスト`, `python`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Cap on results. Leave empty (or `0`) to scrape **all** results. |
| `usdRate` | integer | JPY per USD for the `salary_*_usd` fields (default `150`). |
| `proxyConfig` | object | Optional — doda.jp usually works without a proxy. |

#### Pasting search URLs

Compose any search on doda.jp (keyword, 勤務地, 職種, 年収, こだわり条件…), copy the address-bar URL, paste it in. Multiple URLs are combined and deduplicated.

### Output

One item per listing, English field names, original Japanese values:

```json
{
  "jid": "3015284994",
  "title": "Webプロダクトクリエイター／フルリモート前提／未経験歓迎",
  "catch_copy": "★入社後3ヶ月は研修だけ！…",
  "company": "株式会社ｔａｌｅ",
  "business_content": "◆Web開発（自社サービス）…",
  "description": "…full job description…",
  "requirements": "◆学歴不問◆未経験・第二新卒歓迎…",
  "work_location": "【配属後は原則フルリモート勤務…】",
  "stations": ["駒沢大学駅", "新宿駅", "渋谷駅"],
  "salary_text": "月給25万円～60万円以上＋賞与年2回…",
  "salary_examples": ["【月収例】◆28万円（未経験入社：1年目）…"],
  "salary_basis": "monthly",
  "salary_min_jpy": 3000000,
  "salary_max_jpy": 7200000,
  "salary_min_usd": 20000,
  "salary_max_usd": 48000,
  "is_new": true,
  "is_near_deadline": false,
  "url": "https://doda.jp/DodaFront/View/JobSearchDetail/j_jid__3015284994/-tab__pr/",
  "search_query": "エンジニア",
  "scraped_at": "2026-07-15T09:00:00.000Z"
}
````

#### Salary normalization — the killer feature

Japanese job ads express pay as 年収 (annual), 月給/月収 (monthly), 日給 (daily) or 時給 (hourly), with amounts in 万円 (10,000-yen units) like `月給19万6,200円`. The actor parses all of these and outputs comparable **annual JPY** (monthly ×12, daily ×245, hourly ×160×12) plus a USD conversion — so `月給25万円～60万円` becomes `salary_min_jpy: 3000000, salary_max_jpy: 7200000` automatically. The raw text is always kept in `salary_text`.

#### Field mapping (EN ↔ doda)

| Output field | doda source |
|---|---|
| `title` | 職種名 (occupationName) |
| `catch_copy` | キャッチコピー |
| `company` | 企業名 |
| `business_content` | 事業内容 |
| `description` | 仕事内容 |
| `requirements` | 対象となる方 |
| `work_location` | 勤務地 |
| `stations` | 最寄り駅 |
| `salary_text` | 給与 |

### Why this scraper

- **First mover** — the only doda.jp actor on Apify
- **Complete** — leave Max Items empty and it walks the entire result set (50 jobs/page), stopping automatically
- **Fast & cheap** — HTTP-only, no headless browser
- **Analysis-ready** — normalized salaries make cross-listing comparison and JP↔international benchmarking trivial

### Use cases

- **International recruiting** — source Japanese openings with salaries you can actually compare
- **Market intelligence** — hiring volumes, salary bands and remote-work share in the Japanese market
- **Company monitoring** — track which Japanese firms are scaling engineering teams
- **Job aggregation** — structured Japanese listings for global job platforms
