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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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)](https://en-hyouban.com/), 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. --- ### What You Get Each output record corresponds to one company page. The dataset includes: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `company_id` | string | 11-digit En Hyouban company identifier | | `company_name` | string | Company name in Japanese | | `company_name_en` | string | English name if available | | `industry` | string | Industry sector (e.g., 流通・小売, IT・通信) | | `prefecture` | string | Prefecture of headquarters | | `overall_rating` | number | Aggregate employer rating (1–5 scale) | | `rating_count` | integer | Total employee reviews driving the rating | | `rating_breakdown` | object | Per-dimension scores: 会社の成長性や将来性, 実力主義, 活気のある風土, 20代成長環境, and five more | | `avg_annual_salary_jpy` | integer | Average reported annual salary in JPY | | `salary_by_role` | array | Per-role salary ranges when available | | `reviews` | array | Recent employee reviews with author details, rating, and post date | | `employee_count` | integer | Headcount (従業員数) | | `founded_year` | integer | Year founded | | `headquarters` | string | Full headquarters address | | `source_url` | string | Source page URL | #### Sample Record ```json { "company_id": "10000000090", "company_name": "株式会社綿半ホームエイド", "industry": "流通・小売（ホームセンター）", "prefecture": "長野県", "overall_rating": 3.5, "rating_count": 198, "rating_breakdown": { "会社の成長性や将来性": 3.4, "事業の優位性や独自性": 3.2, "実力主義": 3.1, "活気のある風土": 3.2, "20代成長環境": 3.5, "仕事を通じた社会貢献": 3.2, "イノベーションへの挑戦": 3.6, "経営陣の手腕": 3.3 }, "avg_annual_salary_jpy": 3900000, "salary_by_role": [], "reviews": [ { "author_name": "女性 / 経理 / 現職（回答時） / 新卒入社 / 在籍6～10年 / 正社員", "rating": 3.7, "posted_at": "2024-12-02" } ], "employee_count": 344, "founded_year": 1977, "headquarters": "長野県長野市大字南長池205番地", "source_url": "https://en-hyouban.com/company/10000000090/" } ```` *** ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxItems` | integer | — | Maximum number of companies to scrape. Set to `0` to scrape all ~300k companies. Required. | Start small to verify output matches your needs. Each company page is independent — the actor stops cleanly at the limit you set. *** ### 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. *** ### Pricing This actor uses Pay Per Event pricing. You are charged per company record extracted. See the actor's store page for the current rate. *** *Built and maintained by [OrbTop](https://orbtop.com)* # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional list of en-hyouban company page URLs to scrape (e.g. https://en-hyouban.com/company/00006069738/).
