3. Parses the JobPosting JSON-LD structured data block embedded in each page
4. Transforms the raw schema into a flat record and saves it to the dataset

🔍 FAQ

How do I scrape Japan-Dev.com?

Japan Dev Scraper handles everything automatically. Configure maxItems if you want a subset, leave it at 0 for the full board, and run it. No proxies, no API keys, no setup beyond that.

What data can I get from Japan-Dev.com?

Japan Dev Scraper returns 18 fields per listing: job title, company name and URL, salary range (min/max with currency), location, remote policy, employment type, job category, posting and expiration dates, the full job description in HTML, and a scraped-at timestamp.

Does Japan Dev Scraper need proxies?

It does not. Japan-Dev.com serves direct HTTP requests without anti-bot protection, so the scraper uses a plain HTTP client — which keeps costs low and runs fast.

How much does Japan Dev Scraper cost to run?

The scraper uses Apify's pay-per-event model. At ~281 active listings, a full run stays well under $1. Spot checks or partial runs with maxItems cost proportionally less.

How do I find developer jobs in Japan with visa sponsorship?

Japan-Dev.com lists tech roles aimed at English-speaking developers, many offering visa sponsorship and relocation. Run this scraper to export the full board, then filter the results by remoteType, category, or location to find the roles that fit. Visa and relocation details live in the description field for each listing.

How often is Japan-Dev.com updated?

Japan-Dev.com shows active listings only. Running the scraper periodically (weekly or daily) gives you a reasonably fresh view of the market. The datePosted and validThrough fields tell you how old each listing is.

Why Use Japan Dev Scraper?

• No proxy cost — Japan-Dev has no anti-bot measures, so every run is pure compute with no residential proxy overhead
• Structured salary data — Returns salaryMin, salaryMax, and salaryCurrency as separate fields, not a freeform string you have to parse yourself
• JSON-LD source — Data comes from the site's own structured markup, not fragile HTML selectors, so field consistency is high
