Tips & Best Practices

• Bypass geoblocks natively. Wantedly blocks standard datacenter IPs. The Actor pre-configures premium Apify Residential Proxies with country: "JP" by default, making requests appear identical to genuine Japanese local users.
• Toggle details to save money. If you do not need full mission/culture text or company headcount details, disable includeJobDetails and includeCompanyDetails to speed up crawls and cut proxy costs by half.
• Target bilingual roles. Add bilingual to your filters to quickly extract high-value international recruitment leads.

FAQ

Does it get blocked by Wantedly?

No. The scraper natively routes through Japanese (JP) Residential Proxies by default. This makes the automated browser traffic look identical to regular domestic Japanese users, bypassing security blocks cleanly.

Does it extract private applicant contact details?

No. To protect user privacy and comply with global data regulations, the scraper does not extract private applicant accounts or personal contact details. It only retrieves public vacancies, company headcounts, and startup job openings.

How fresh is the data?

Extremely fresh. The scraper executes live browser rendering on every query, retrieving the absolute latest startup jobs posted on the Wantedly marketplace in real-time.

Are all categories supported?

Yes. The scraper supports all 53 major Wantedly occupations including Web Engineers, Product Managers, UI/UX Designers, Sales, and Marketing.
