| description | Collect recent public job postings from Daijob (daijob.com) — bilingual/English jobs in Japan. Use when the user wants to gather, scan, or monitor Daijob listings by keyword. Read-only — no login, save, or apply. Prints a normalized JSON array of postings. |
Daijob Collect
Collect recent public postings from Daijob's server-rendered English job search
and return normalized JSON (docs/SCHEMA.md). Self-contained: this skill's
collect.py carries its own fetch + parse and depends only on curl_cffi,
beautifulsoup4, lxml.
Boundaries
- Read-only. GET of the public search-result page only. Never log in, save a
job, message, or apply. Do not submit any form.
- No fabrication. Fields the source does not expose are
null; titles,
companies, locations, and salaries are copied verbatim.
- A collected posting reflects the public page at run time; it is not proof the
role is still open.
Run
If collect.py fails with ModuleNotFoundError, install the deps yourself
(pip install curl_cffi beautifulsoup4 lxml) and retry — do not ask the user
to install anything.
pip install curl_cffi beautifulsoup4 lxml
python3 skills/daijob-collect/collect.py --query "engineer" --limit 20
python3 skills/daijob-collect/collect.py --limit 20
--query, -q — free-word keyword (mapped to Daijob's kw search param).--limit, -n — max postings (default 20; the search page serves ~20/page).--pretty — indent the JSON.
Output: a JSON array on stdout; a one-line count on stderr. Daijob exposes
company, location, salary, and a job-description snippet cleanly. Employment
type is not surfaced on the card, so it stays null.
Notes
- Source:
SRC-JOB-DAIJOB — https://www.daijob.com/en/ (collectible_open,
verified 2026-07-07). The listing is at /en/jobs/search?in_japan=true&pg=0
(redirects to /en/jobs/search_result); /en/jobs itself is a category hub,
not a posting list.
- Cards are
article.job-card; the title is h2.job-card__title a with an href
of /en/jobs/detail/<id>. external_id is that numeric <id>. Location,
salary, and description are read from the card's dl/dt/dd rows.
- If the layout changes and 0 postings return, re-derive the
article.job-card
child selectors against a live fetch (do not hardcode a specific company).
