Scrape beauty salon data from HotPepper Beauty (beauty.hotpepper.jp), Japan's #1 beauty salon booking platform with over 200,000 listed salons. This is the only structured data extraction tool for HotPepper Beauty — the official API was discontinued in 2017, and there are zero competitors on Apify Store.

What data does it extract?

This Actor scrapes comprehensive salon metadata from HotPepper Beauty, covering all four major categories: Hair, Nail, Relaxation/Massage, and Esthetics.

Data is extracted using a 3-layer strategy for maximum reliability:

1. JSON-LD structured data (HairSalon schema) — most reliable source
2. Custom JavaScript data (jsiSalonGraphData) — customer demographics
3. HTML info tables — supplementary details

Why this Actor?

HotPepper Beauty's official API was discontinued in 2017. There is no other way to get structured salon data from Japan's largest beauty platform. This Actor fills that gap with reliable, schema-validated data extraction using JSON-LD structured data for maximum accuracy.

Zero competitors on Apify Store — this is the first and only HotPepper Beauty scraper available.
