It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Japan Dev Scraper: Japan Tech Jobs, Salaries, and Visa Evidence

### ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต What does this Actor do? Japan Dev Scraper pulls English-friendly tech job listings from Japan-Dev.com, including job title, company, salary, location, remote policy, and visa sponsorship evidence. When a listing does not publish a value, the row leaves that field empty instead of guessing, so nothing you see was invented. This matters for three kinds of buyers: - **Recruiters and hiring teams**: "I need to know the moment a new Tokyo backend role goes up, not find it three weeks late." - **Relocation and visa consultants**: "I only want roles that actually say they sponsor visas, not ones I have to guess about." - **Market researchers and pipeline builders**: "I track Japan tech salary bands every week and need the same job IDs across runs so my numbers line up." Run it once for a snapshot, or turn on change tracking and let it tell you what is new, updated, reappeared, or gone since the last run. ### ๐Ÿš€ How it works
STEP 1
Set your search
Enter search terms, locations, and technologies to target. 		STEP 2
Narrow by fit
Filter by salary, remote policy, visa sponsorship, and Japanese level. 		STEP 3
Run once or monitor
Get today's list, or turn on change tracking for a running feed.
### ๐Ÿงฐ Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `searchQueries` | array of strings | No | Batch search terms matched against published job title, company, description, and tags. | | `locations` | array of strings | No | Batch city, prefecture, region, or country values published by the source. | | `techTags` | array of strings | No | Technology tags such as TypeScript, Go, React, or Kubernetes. | | `minSalary` | integer | No | Keep a job only when its published maximum salary meets this value. | | `maxSalary` | integer | No | Keep a job only when its published minimum salary stays under this value. | | `salaryCurrency` | string | No | Exact currency filter. Currency is never assumed when the source omits it. | | `remoteOnly` | boolean | No | Keep only jobs with explicit remote evidence. | | `visaOnly` | boolean | No | Keep only jobs with explicit visa, sponsorship, or relocation evidence. | | `japaneseLevels` | array of strings | No | Exact published language labels such as N1, N2, business, native, conversational, or basic. | | `startUrls` | array of URLs | No | Specific Japan Dev job URLs to fetch directly instead of a full search. | | `maxItems` | integer | No | Maximum successful job records returned after filters. | | `sortBy` | enum | No | Deterministic ordering: job ID, title, date, salary, or location. | | `sortOrder` | enum | No | Ascending or descending order for the selected sort field. | | `monitorMode` | enum | No | `snapshot` returns current rows. `changes` returns only rows whose status changed. | | `monitorScope` | string | No | Stable name for a recurring monitor. Reuse it to compare against the previous run. | | `includeUnchanged` | boolean | No | In changes mode, also include rows that did not change. | | `includeMarketSummary` | boolean | No | Save an aggregate salary summary built only from published salary data. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | Optional Apify proxy configuration. | ### ๐Ÿ“Š Data table | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `recordType` | string | `job` for a listing, `error` for a failed source page. | | `jobId` | string | Stable identifier for the listing, consistent across runs. | | `jobUrl` | string | Canonical link to the job on Japan-Dev.com. | | `title` | string | Published job title. | | `company` | string | Hiring company name. | | `companyUrl` | string | Company website link, when published. | | `companyLogoUrl` | string | Company logo image link, when published. | | `location` | string | City, when published. | | `region` | string | Prefecture or region, when published. | | `country` | string | Country code, when published. | | `remote` | boolean | Whether the listing gives explicit remote-work evidence. | | `visaSponsorship` | boolean | Whether the listing gives explicit visa or sponsorship evidence. | | `visaEvidence` | string | The source text backing the visa sponsorship flag. | | `japaneseLevels` | array of strings | Published Japanese language requirement labels. | | `techTags` | array of strings | Recognized technologies mentioned in the listing. | | `category` | string | Published job category, when available. | | `employmentType` | string | Full-time, part-time, or contract, when published. | | `salaryMin` | number | Minimum published annual salary. | | `salaryMax` | number | Maximum published annual salary. | | `salaryCurrency` | string | Currency of the published salary. | | `datePosted` | string | Date the listing was published. | | `validThrough` | string | Date the listing expires, when published. | | `description` | string | Full published job description. | | `changeType` | string | `NEW`, `UPDATED`, `REAPPEARED`, `EXPIRED`, or `UNCHANGED` in monitor mode. | | `status` | string | `success` or `error` for this row. | | `errorCode` | string | Reason code for a failed source page. | | `sourceUrl` | string | The exact page this row was retrieved from. | | `retrievedAt` | string | Timestamp this row was retrieved. | ### ๐Ÿ” Monitoring Japan Dev over time Set `monitorMode` to `changes` and give it a `monitorScope` name you reuse on every scheduled run. Each run after the first returns only rows that changed, labeled `NEW`, `UPDATED`, `REAPPEARED`, or `EXPIRED`. A failed or incomplete run never updates what counts as expired, so a source outage cannot look like a wave of closed jobs. ### ๐Ÿ’ฐ Pricing This Actor is pay per result. You are charged only for job records returned, with no subscription and no charge for an empty run. ### โญ Enjoying Japan Dev Scraper?

### โ“ FAQ **Does this Actor need a Japan Dev account or login?** No. It reads only public job pages. No account, password, or cookie is required. **What happens if a listing does not publish a salary or location?** The field is left empty instead of guessed, so every value you see came from the listing itself. **Can I get told only when something changes?** Yes. Set `monitorMode` to `changes` with a saved `monitorScope`, and each run after the first returns only new, updated, reappeared, or expired listings. **Is this different from a one-time job list?** Yes. It remembers what it saw on the last run under the same `monitorScope`, so it can tell you what changed since then instead of handing you the same full list every time. ### ๐Ÿ”— Other actors - [Japan Jobs Feed ๆ—ฅๆœฌๆฑ‚ไบบ: Mynavi, Rikunabi, Wantedly, Green, Kyujin](https://apify.com/getascraper/japan-jobs-feed) โ†— - reads several Japanese job boards in one run, in one format, with a monitor mode for new jobs. - [TokyoDev Scraper: Japan Tech Jobs & Companies](https://apify.com/getascraper/tokyo-dev-scraper) โ†— - English tech job listings and company profiles from TokyoDev. - [Wantedly Japan Jobs Scraper: Startup Job Listings](https://apify.com/getascraper/wantedly-jobs-scraper) โ†— - Startup job listings and culture data from Wantedly Japan. - [CareerCross scraper: ใ‚ญใƒฃใƒชใ‚ขใ‚ฏใƒญใ‚น bilingual jobs](https://apify.com/getascraper/career-cross-scraper) โ†— - Bilingual and visa-context job listings from CareerCross. - [BizReach Japan jobs scraper: ใƒ“ใ‚บใƒชใƒผใƒ](https://apify.com/getascraper/bizreach-scraper) โ†— - Executive and career-change job listings from BizReach. - [MyNavi Tenshoku Scraper: Japan Jobs With Full Company Profiles](https://apify.com/getascraper/mynavi-scraper) โ†— - Japan job listings with full company profile data from MyNavi Tenshoku. # Changelog This Actor's version history is a separate document: https://apify.com/getascraper/japan-dev-scraper/changelog.md # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Optional OR-matched batch queries across published title, company, description, and tags. ## `locations` (type: `array`): Optional OR-matched city, prefecture, region, or country values published by Japan Dev. ## `techTags` (type: `array`): Keep jobs whose published title or description contains one of these recognized technologies. ## `minSalary` (type: `number`): Keep a job when its published maximum is at least this value. ## `maxSalary` (type: `number`): Keep a job when its published minimum is at most this value. ## `salaryCurrency` (type: `string`): Optional exact currency filter.
