Cake Job Scraper — Asia tech jobs, salary ranges & hiring companies

Get clean, structured job data from Cake (formerly CakeResume) — the tech-focused job board used across Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and the rest of Southeast Asia. Search any keyword in English, Chinese or Japanese and download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel. No login, no browser, no proxy setup.

What you get

Run it with the default input and results look like this:

{
  "title": "Python 後端工程師 (Data Integration & Visualization)",
  "companyName": "InAddition Consultants Ltd.",
  "companyUrl": "https://www.cake.me/companies/inaddition-consultants",
  "salaryMin": 1000000,
  "salaryMax": 1200000,
  "salaryCurrency": "TWD",
  "salaryPeriod": "year",
  "salaryText": "TWD 1,000,000 - 1,200,000 per year",
  "locations": ["台北市, 台灣"],
  "city": "Xinyi District",
  "stateName": "Taipei City",
  "country": "TW",
  "jobType": "full_time",
  "seniorityLevel": "mid_senior_level",
  "minWorkExpYear": 3,
  "language": "Chinese",
  "contentUpdatedAt": "2026-07-20T08:40:28Z",
  "url": "https://www.cake.me/companies/inaddition-consultants/jobs/pythonvisualization",
  "description": "【工作職責】您將加入我們的核心開發團隊…"
}

28 fields per job by default, including the full plain-text description, the salary range Cake publishes, seniority level, minimum years of experience, number of openings, company logo and the company's city, district and postcode.

Turn on Include detail page data and each job also gets datePosted, remoteRequirement (e.g. Anywhere), the HTML description and Cake's internal job identifier.

Who uses this

• Recruiters & sourcing teams — see which companies across Taiwan and Japan are hiring, for which roles, at what pay
• Salary benchmarking — Cake listings carry structured salaryMin / salaryMax / currency / period, not free text you have to parse
• Lead generation — every row carries the hiring company, its Cake profile, logo and office location
• Job boards & alert bots — poll a keyword on a schedule and diff against yesterday's dataset
• Market-entry research — measure how many companies in a country are hiring for AI, backend, semiconductor or PM roles right now

How to use

1. Enter a keyword — python, product manager, 後端工程師, データエンジニア all work
2. Optionally set a location exactly as Cake spells it: Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Taipei City
3. Set Max jobs (default 50; Cake pages 10 at a time)
4. Optionally enable Include detail page data for posted dates and remote-work requirements
5. Run, then download from the Dataset tab as JSON / CSV / Excel, or pull it through the Apify API

Example input

{
  "keyword": "data engineer",
  "location": "Japan",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "includeDetails": true
}

Notes on reliability

• The scraper reads the same structured payload the Cake website itself renders from, so fields stay consistent instead of breaking every time the design changes
• Cake sits behind Cloudflare and allows only a handful of requests per minute from any single IP. This Actor rotates Apify's datacenter IPs automatically and retries challenged requests on a fresh one, so large exports and detail mode keep moving instead of stalling
• Jobs that do not disclose pay come back with empty salary fields rather than a misleading 0

Pricing model

You pay per result — a small fee for each job returned. A 200-job export costs less than a coffee, and you only pay for rows you actually receive.

FAQ

Does it need a proxy? Nothing to configure. It uses Apify's built-in datacenter proxy to spread requests across IPs; no residential proxy or extra setup is needed.

How fresh is the data? Each job carries contentUpdatedAt straight from Cake, and with detail mode on you also get datePosted. Schedule the Actor daily and diff to catch new postings.

Can I get every job for a country? Yes — leave the keyword broad and raise maxItems. Cake reports the total match count in the log so you know how deep the result set goes before you commit to a big run.

Which countries are covered? Cake is strongest in Taiwan and Japan, with meaningful coverage in Singapore, Hong Kong and the wider APAC region. Use the location filter to narrow it.

More Taiwan job data

Hiring teams and salary researchers usually pull from more than one board. These Actors share the same output style, so you can combine their results in one sheet:

• 104.com.tw Job Scraper — Taiwan's largest job board — salaries, skills, benefits and recruiter contact emails
• 1111.com.tw Job Scraper — Taiwan's #2 board — strong in SMEs, service and manufacturing
• 518 Job Scraper — Taiwan service, retail and part-time jobs with hourly pay
• yes123 Job Scraper — Taiwan jobs with city filters across all 22 counties

All of them run on Apify's own servers without proxies and charge per result only.
