Why this scraper?

📋 Complete bilingual job data

Captures all fields unique to Daijob: Japanese level (JLPT), English level (TOEIC), and other language requirements alongside the full job description.

💴 Structured salary output

Salary ranges extracted as numeric fields (salaryMin, salaryMax in JPY) with currency and period — ready for filtering and analysis without string parsing.

🗾 Full location hierarchy

Location data delivered at three levels: country, prefecture (e.g. Tokyo, Kanagawa), and city for precise geographic filtering.

📝 Descriptions in three formats

Every job description delivered as HTML, plain text, and Markdown — compatible with any downstream pipeline or LLM ingestion.

🔁 Cross-run deduplication

Built-in 90-day deduplication store prevents re-processing listings already captured in earlier runs, reducing costs on scheduled scrapes.

⚡ Lightweight and fast

Runs at 256 MB memory. No browser required. Processes thousands of listings per run.
