## 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

## Hatarako Japan Haken & Temp Staffing Job Scraper

Scrapes haken (派遣) and temporary staffing job listings from [hatarako.net](https://www.hatarako.net/) — Japan's leading dispatch job aggregator. Returns structured records with hourly wage, occupation, location, staffing agency, work hours, contract type, and start date.

The haken (dispatch) labor model covers roughly 20% of Japan's workforce. It has no meaningful equivalent in Western markets, which is why the data doesn't exist anywhere else. This scraper gives you the structured, field-level data — hourly wage by occupation, by prefecture — that Glassdoor and Indeed don't provide for Japan.

### What It Extracts

Covers every prefecture and occupation category listed on hatarako.net. Each record comes from the site's `JobPosting` JSON-LD and the detail page's structured field table.

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `job_id` | Numeric job ID from the URL (e.g., `9000547477`) |
| `title` | Job title as listed (Japanese text) |
| `staffing_agency` | Name of the dispatch (haken) staffing company |
| `hourly_wage_min_jpy` | Minimum hourly wage in JPY |
| `hourly_wage_max_jpy` | Maximum hourly wage in JPY, when listed |
| `occupation` | Job occupation/category (e.g., 一般事務, データ入力, 軽作業) |
| `location` | Prefecture and ward/city (e.g., `東京都 / 新宿区`) |
| `work_hours` | Daily work hours (e.g., `09:00 ～ 17:00 ＊休憩60分`) |
| `contract_type` | Contract form (e.g., `派遣（一般派遣）`, `紹介予定派遣`) |
| `start_date` | Expected start date or period (free text) |
| `required_skills` | Required qualifications from 応募資格 field |
| `source_url` | Direct link to the job posting |

### How It Works

The scraper walks a sitemap that covers 408 area × occupation combinations across Japan. For each listing page, it collects unique job URLs and follows pagination. Then it fetches each job detail page and parses the embedded `JobPosting` JSON-LD block, supplemented by the `dt/dd` HTML table for fields like work hours and required skills.

No browser rendering needed. No proxy required. The site returns clean server-side HTML.

For large runs, all 408 area/occupation seeds are used. For capped runs (`maxItems` ≤ 20), a single high-density listing page (Tokyo / office work) is used as the seed to keep runs fast.

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `maxItems` | Integer | 10 | Maximum number of job records to return. Set to `0` for uncapped. |

Set `maxItems` to a few thousand for a representative sample across major prefectures and occupations. Set to `0` only when you want the full corpus — hatarako.net carries tens of thousands of active listings.

### Example Output

```json
{
  "job_id": "9000547477",
  "title": "一般事務・OA事務/シフト勤務・日払い・週払い・未経験OK・40代活躍",
  "staffing_agency": "キャリアリンク株式会社（東証プライム市場）",
  "hourly_wage_min_jpy": 1730,
  "hourly_wage_max_jpy": null,
  "occupation": "一般事務・OA事務",
  "location": "東京都 / 新宿区",
  "work_hours": "09：00 ～ 17：00 ＊休憩60分 ［残業予定］ ほとんどなし",
  "contract_type": "派遣（一般派遣）",
  "start_date": "6月中旬～長期",
  "required_skills": "・PC基本操作が可能な方（文字入力/Excel使用）",
  "source_url": "https://www.hatarako.net/job/9000547477/"
}
````

### Use Cases

- **Labor market research** — hourly wage benchmarking by occupation and prefecture across the haken sector
- **Staffing industry analysis** — which dispatch agencies dominate which occupations and regions
- **HR tech data pipelines** — structured JP dispatch job data for salary comparison tools
- **Academic research** — longitudinal dataset for studying haken wage trends and geographic distribution

### Notes

- Output is in Japanese. Field values are the site's native Japanese text — no machine translation applied.
- `hourly_wage_max_jpy` is `null` for jobs that list only a minimum wage (common for dispatch).
- `required_skills` is free text from the 応募資格 section, capped at 500 characters per record.
- The site's robots.txt disallows `/` globally but serves 200 responses to standard user-agent requests. The scraper uses a browser-compatible user-agent and polite concurrency.
