Wantedly Japan Jobs Scraper

Wantedly Japan Jobs Scraper

Scrape Wantedly Japan job listings by occupation, keyword, or direct URL, up to a million per run. Every project comes with its mission, culture, duties, company headcount, and founder name. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Wantedly Japan's startup and tech job listings are public, but browsing them manually across dozens of occupation filters and keywords is slow. This Actor reads the project feeds directly, applies your occupation, keyword, and sort-order filters, and returns each matching job in one flat row. It also fetches the full project detail pages and the hiring company pages so you get the mission, culture, duties, founder name, and headcount without clicking into every listing.

Who uses it	What they scrape Wantedly for
International recruiters	Build a pipeline of Japanese startup engineering and design roles without navigating the site in Japanese.
Market analysts	Track which tech occupations and skills are most in demand across Japanese startups this quarter.
ATS and HR tool builders	Feed structured Wantedly job data into an applicant tracking system or internal job board.
Job seekers	Filter and export the newest Wantedly projects for a specific role like Web Engineer or Data Scientist.

What it does

This Actor collects Wantedly Japan project listings by occupation type, free-text keyword, or direct URL, and returns each one as a flat row with optional full project detail and company page enrichment.

• 🏢 Full company profiles: founder name, founding date, employee headcount, address, slogan, and company description.
• 📋 Full project details: mission ('なぜやるのか'), culture ('どうやっているのか'), and job duties ('こんなことやります') blocks.
• 🔍 Occupation and keyword filters: pick from 50+ Wantedly occupation slugs, combine with a free-text search, and sort by recommended, popular, or newest.
• 🇯🇵 Japan-resident proxy: defaults to residential proxy with country=JP, required to avoid Wantedly rate-limiting and blocks.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your occupation filter and searchQuery combination returns listings on Wantedly.com. Try running with occupationTypes empty and no keyword first to confirm the Actor can reach the site, then narrow your filters.

Why are my runs slow?

When includeJobDetails and includeCompanyDetails are both enabled, the Actor makes one request per project and one per unique company. For large maxItems values this takes time. Disable enrichment if you only need listing-level data.

Why do I get blocked or see empty pages?

The Actor defaults to a Japanese residential proxy. If you changed the proxy configuration, switch it back to RESIDENTIAL with country=JP. Datacenter IPs are routinely blocked by Wantedly.

Some occupation slugs return fewer results than expected.

Wantedly's occupation filters map to specific site categories. If a slug returns few projects, try the parent 'all' category instead, or leave occupationTypes empty and use only a searchQuery to cast a wider net.

The company details fields are empty.

Ensure includeCompanyDetails is set to true. Some smaller startups may not have filled in their full company page on Wantedly; in that case those fields will be blank.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Wantedly account or API key?	No. The Actor reads the public project listing pages and detail pages directly. No login, no API key, and no app registration are required.
Can I scrape jobs for a specific company only?	Yes. Paste a company URL like https://www.wantedly.com/companies/{slug} into the startUrls field, and the Actor will collect all open projects from that company.
What does the 'Fetch full project pages' option do?	When enabled, the Actor visits each individual project page to capture the full mission, culture, and job duties text blocks, plus the complete JobPosting structured data. We recommend leaving it on.
What does the 'Fetch company pages' option do?	When enabled, the Actor visits each unique hiring company page to capture the founder name, founding date, employee headcount, address, slogan, and company description.
Why does the Actor require a residential proxy?	Wantedly blocks or rate-limits requests from datacenter IPs. The Actor defaults to Apify's residential proxy with country set to Japan, which routes your requests through Japanese residential IPs to avoid blocks.
Can I filter by multiple occupations at once?	Yes. The occupationTypes field is a multi-select. You can pick several specific roles, or choose a parent category like 'Engineering (all)' to get every engineering sub-role in one run.
How do I search for a keyword like 'Python' or '機械学習'?	Enter your keyword in the searchQuery field. It combines with any occupation filter you have set, so you can search for Python within Engineering roles specifically.
What sort orders are available?	You can sort by Recommended (Wantedly's default mixed ranking), Popular (high-engagement projects), or Newest (most recently posted first).
Can I scrape a single job posting by URL?	Yes. Paste a direct project URL like https://www.wantedly.com/projects/1234567 into startUrls, and the Actor will return that one listing with all enrichment options applied.
What output formats are supported?	You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform.
