A robust Apify Actor for scraping Japanese real estate listing metadata from HOME'S (homes.co.jp), one of Japan's largest property listing platforms operated by LIFULL Co., Ltd.

Key Features

• JSON-LD First Strategy: Extracts structured data from <script type="application/ld+json"> tags containing RealEstateListing schema, ensuring high accuracy and resilience against UI changes.
• DOM Fallback: When JSON-LD is unavailable, falls back to DOM-based extraction from property card elements.
• Japanese Price Parsing: Handles all Japanese price formats including 万円 (10,000 JPY), 億 (100,000,000 JPY), and mixed notation like 1億2,000万円.
• Comprehensive Data: Extracts price, area (m²), address, layout (間取り), built year, station access, floor details, building structure, management fees, and more.
• Rate-Limited & Polite: Built-in rate limiting (max 30 requests/minute, max concurrency 2) to respect the target site.
• Schema Validation: Every record is validated against a Zod schema before being pushed to the dataset.
• Deduplication: Automatic removal of duplicate listings by property ID.
