25 fields per job by default. Pay is parsed from 518's Chinese text into numbers you can sort and average — 時薪 196 至 226 元 becomes salaryMin: 196, salaryMax: 226, salaryPeriod: "hour", 月薪 33,000 至 35,000 元 becomes 33000 / 35000 / "month"; daily, weekly, yearly and per-piece (論件計酬) pay are handled too. City and district are split out of the location string, the MM/DD posting date is resolved to a full ISO date, and 518's badges (responds within 7 days, verified company, urgent hire, near MRT) come back as booleans and tags.

Turn on Include detail page data and each job grows to 49 fields: exact datePosted and validThrough, the employer-stated job type, full HTML and plain-text description, job category (職務類別), number of openings, work hours, days off, education requirement, management responsibility, business travel, pay method and pay day, contact person, industry, street address and postal code, company website and logo.

Who uses this

• Staffing agencies & HR platforms — monitor which chains (7-Eleven, FamilyMart, 繼光香香雞, 全聯…) are hiring store staff in which districts, at what hourly rate
• Wage benchmarking & labour research — 518 is the reference market for Taiwan's hourly wage; pull thousands of 時薪 postings and compare against the statutory minimum by city and industry
• Lead generation — every row carries the hiring business, its 518 company page and, in detail mode, its website, logo, address and contact person; frontline hiring is a strong signal for POS, payroll, insurance and uniform vendors
• Job aggregators & alert bots — schedule a keyword per city, diff against yesterday's dataset, push new postings to your users
• Market-entry & expansion research — count open retail / F&B roles per district to see where chains are expanding right now

How to use

1. Enter a keyword — Chinese works best on 518: 門市 (store staff), 餐飲 (F&B), 超商 (convenience store), 倉儲 (warehouse), 清潔, 司機, 照服員, 作業員, 工讀
2. Optionally pick a City / county (all 22 Taiwanese cities and counties are listed)
3. Optionally pick a Job type — Full-time (全職), Part-time (兼職) or Casual / hourly (打工). When set, 518 filters server-side and every result is tagged with that type for certain
4. Choose Sort by relevance or newest first
5. Set Max jobs (default 50; 518 pages 32 at a time)
6. Optionally enable Include detail page data
7. Run, then download from the Dataset tab as JSON / CSV / Excel, or pull it through the Apify API

Example input

{
  "keyword": "超商",
  "region": "3001002",
  "jobType": "2",
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "maxItems": 300,

}

This returns the 300 newest part-time convenience-store jobs in New Taipei City.

Limitations

• Without a job-type filter or detail mode, employmentType is an inference from the title and pay basis (hourly pay → part-time, monthly → full-time, 工讀/打工 in the title → casual). Select a Job type or enable Include detail page data when you need it to be exact
• Email and phone numbers are only shown to logged-in 518 members and are not collected; contactPerson (a name such as 彭先生) is
• 518 re-surfaces "recommended" postings across pages; duplicates are removed by URL, so a page can yield slightly fewer than 32 rows
• A single keyword search tops out at what 518 itself will page through; for a very broad term split the run by city to go deeper
