Scrape service listings from Coconala, Japan's largest skill and gig marketplace. Extract structured data about services — title, seller, category, price range, ratings, sales count, delivery time, and description — for gig-economy research, competitive analysis, and JP freelance market pricing studies.
What does this actor do?
It walks Coconala's published sitemap index to discover service URLs, then scrapes each service detail page. The actor:
- Discovers service URLs from the
/sitemaps/category-services-index.xmlsitemap (19 category sub-sitemaps, hundreds of thousands of services total) - Extracts structured data from Coconala service pages using JSON-LD (Product schema) plus CSS selectors
- Caps results at
maxItemswith early-exit to stay within the Apify run budget
Pages are server-rendered (Nuxt SSR) — full HTML is present in the initial HTTP response, so no browser is needed.

Each item in the dataset represents one service listing:

Notes
- The actor respects Coconala's crawl-delay via concurrency controls (max 3 concurrent requests)
- Service pages are ~1.1 MB each; uses residential proxy (DataImpulse) for reliable access
- JSON-LD extraction (Product schema) provides structured price, rating, and description data
- Category is derived from the BreadcrumbList JSON-LD block
Use cases
