104.com.tw Taiwan Jobs Scraper

Scrapes job listings from 104.com.tw, Taiwan's largest job board (~50k+ active listings). Uses 104's internal JSON REST APIs — no Playwright, no HTML parsing, no CSS selectors.

Architecture

Two REST API layers:

Layer	Endpoint	Purpose
Search API	/jobs/search/api/jobs	Paginated listing with filters, 30 results/page
Detail API	/job/ajax/content/{hash}	Rich per-job record — welfare, skills, contact, etc.

The detail API is optional (enrichDetails: true). When disabled the scraper runs search-only mode, which is fast and cheap.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
keywords	string[]	["software","engineer","manager"]	Keywords in Chinese or English
area	string	""	Area code for location filter. 6001001000 = Taipei. Empty = all Taiwan
remoteWork	boolean	false	Filter to remote-friendly positions
maxResults	integer	200	Max jobs to collect (0 = unlimited)
enrichDetails	boolean	false	Enrich each job via the Detail API — see new fields below

Area codes (examples)

6001006000	Hsinchu City
