En Hyouban (Lighthouse) Japan Company Review Scraper

Extract company reviews, employer ratings, salary data, and employee feedback from En Hyouban (エン カイシャの評判), Japan's second-largest employer review platform. Each company record includes structured review data from JSON-LD markup — clean, parseable, and stable.

Japan's employer-review market is dominated by two platforms. The larger one is AWS-WAF-blocked. En Hyouban is reachable, structured, and covers roughly 300,000 companies across every industry and prefecture. This actor is the only way to get this data in bulk.

Input

Parameter	Type	Default	Description

Use Cases

HR tech and recruiting platforms building Japan-market employer intelligence. En Hyouban's rating and review data reflects domestic employee sentiment that Glassdoor does not cover for Japan.

Equity research and due diligence where understanding workforce satisfaction, attrition signals, and management perception supports investment theses.

Competitive benchmarking across industries. The eight-dimension rating breakdown (growth trajectory, meritocracy, transparency, team culture, youth development, social contribution, innovation, management quality) gives a richer signal than a single star rating.

Salary benchmarking for Japan. Average annual salary data plus employee-count context — useful for compensation analysis and headcount planning in Japanese markets.

Discovery Method

The actor walks En Hyouban's sitemap index (sitemap_top.xml) and its gzip-compressed child sitemaps, which together list the full set of company detail pages. No pagination, no directory traversal. The sitemap covers approximately 300,000 entries across all 47 prefectures and all industry categories.

Extraction is driven by the site's application/ld+json markup (EmployerAggregateRating schema) for ratings and reviews, supplemented by CSS selectors for salary and company metadata fields.
