🗾 Wantedly Japan Tech Jobs & Startup Culture Scraper

🚀 Export Japanese startup job listings with full mission, culture, and team narrative data in seconds. Filter by 53 occupation slugs, free-text keyword, or paste any Wantedly listing or company URL. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

Wantedly is Japan's flagship community-driven recruiting platform. Instead of leading with salary bands and bullet-point requirements, every Wantedly listing pushes the company's mission ("なぜやるのか" - why we do it), team culture ("どうやっているのか" - how we do it), and the substance of the role ("こんなことやります" - what you'll do). It is the dominant venue Japanese startups use to court bilingual engineers, designers, and product managers who care about values fit. This Actor walks Wantedly's public /projects board, paginates the result set for any of the 53 occupation slugs or free-text queries, and returns one clean record per project with title, hiring company, employment type, full structured location, the full narrative blocks, and the JSON-LD JobPosting metadata.

Every record can be enriched in two extra hops: a fetch of the project detail page (to capture the long mission, culture, and job-duties prose) and a fetch of the company page (to pull founder name, founding date, employee headcount, slogan, company description, official website, and address). The Actor reads the JSON-LD that Wantedly publishes alongside every project and company page, so the structured data is the source of truth rather than brittle DOM selectors. Apify residential routing through Japan keeps the requests inside the same geo the official site serves and keeps the Wantedly-side bot filters happy.

📋 What the Wantedly Japan Tech Jobs Scraper does

• 🧭 53 occupation slugs. Pick anything from jp__mobile_engineer, jp__web_engineer, jp__data_scientist, jp__ui_ux_designer, jp__product_manager to jp__corporate_planning. Leave blank to crawl every occupation.
• 🔍 Free-text keyword search. Mix Japanese or English keywords ("python", "AI", "デザイナー") on top of the occupation filter, just like the site search box.
• 💫 Mission and culture narrative. Every Wantedly project ships three culture sections ("why we do it", "how we do it", "what you do"). The Actor captures all three as separate fields, ready for downstream NLP, embedding, or values-fit scoring.
• 🏢 Company-page enrichment. Each unique hiring company is fetched once and merged: founder name, founding date, employee count, slogan, address, company description, official website.
• 🔗 Start URL passthrough. Already have a Wantedly project ID, a company slug, or a filter URL? Paste it into startUrls and the Actor will route it through the right parser (project, company, or listing).
• ⚡ JSON-LD source of truth. Wantedly publishes JobPosting and Organization schema.org blocks on every page. The Actor reads those rather than relying on DOM classes, so layout tweaks do not break the schema.

Each record carries the project image URL, title, employment type, occupation category, full structured location (country, region, locality, street address), project URL, project ID, long description, the short snippet, the mission / culture / job-duties narratives, posting timestamp, company name and slug, company URL on Wantedly, company logo, company description and slogan, employee headcount, founding date, founder, the company's external website, the listing URL the project came from, and a scrape timestamp.

💡 Why it matters: LinkedIn and Indeed under-cover Japan's startup ecosystem because the platforms recruiters there actually use (Wantedly, Bizreach, Green) are different. Pair this Actor with a LinkedIn scraper to see what your global feeds are missing, especially in the bilingual product, AI, and design talent pools.

⚠️ Good to Know: Wantedly's listing page returns 10 projects per page from a JSON-LD ItemList, which is what the Actor uses as the source of truth. Detail-page enrichment adds a second fetch per project (for mission, culture, job duties), and company enrichment adds one fetch per unique company (deduplicated). Disable either flag to halve the run time if you only need the listing-level fields.
