SEEK Jobs Scraper — JobsDB, JobStreet & Jora | 6 APAC Markets

Extract job listings from every SEEK-owned job board in Southeast Asia — JobsDB Hong Kong & Thailand, Jora Singapore, and JobStreet Indonesia, Malaysia & Philippines — via SEEK's own public JSON search API, with full job descriptions fetched through the SEEK GraphQL API. No browser, no login, no API key: clean, structured job, salary and hiring data at $0.001 per record.

Built for recruiters, staffing agencies, salary-benchmark researchers, job aggregators and labor-market analysts who need repeatable APAC job market data.

Main Use Cases

• Salary benchmarking — aggregate advertised salary ranges by role, market and location for salary guides and compensation reviews (SEEK's own APAC salary reports are compiled from this same data).
• Hiring & recruitment intelligence — monitor job-post volumes, hiring demand and work-type trends across HK, TH, SG, ID, MY and PH.
• Lead generation for recruiters — build candidate-source lists by keyword, location, work type and posting date.
• Job market research — track job openings, classifications and salary disclosure rates across Southeast Asian markets.
• Job aggregators & job boards — feed a normalized, structured job feed for six APAC countries from one actor.
• Talent & workforce analytics — enrich dashboards and labor-market studies with current, structured job postings on a schedule.

How the SEEK Jobs Scraper Works — Public JSON API, No Browser

The actor queries the same internal SEEK endpoints that the JobsDB, JobStreet and Jora websites themselves call:

1. Search — GET https://{domain}/api/jobsearch/v5/search returns clean JSON per page of 20 jobs: title, company, location, salary label, listing date, work types, classifications, teaser and bullet points.
2. Detail (optional) — POST https://{domain}/graphql with the jobDetails(id:) query returns the full description (HTML + plain text), salary label, advertiser and category for each job.

Both endpoints answer plain HTTPS with a realistic User-Agent and are not Cloudflare-walled (the HTML pages are), which keeps runs fast and cheap — no headless browser is used.

Integrations & Automation — Schedule Job Market Monitoring

• Apify API — call the actor from any app with the Apify REST API or the apify-client SDK (JavaScript, Python).
• Schedules — recommended: run daily with sortMode: "date" and dateRange 1–7 for fresh-listing monitoring; run weekly with broad keywords and a high maxItems for salary benchmarks and market samples.
• Webhooks — push each finished run's data to your own endpoint automatically.
• Zapier / Make — trigger downstream workflows when a run finishes or new records land, via Apify's integration apps.
• Data export — download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS from the Apify dataset, or read them via API.

FAQ — JobsDB, JobStreet & SEEK Data Extraction

Is there an official JobsDB API?

No. JobsDB (part of the SEEK Group) does not offer a public, self-serve API for job-search data. SEEK provides paid affiliate and partnership routes, but any tool that returns JobsDB search results does so by calling the same public JSON endpoints (/api/jobsearch/v5/search and /graphql) that the JobsDB website itself uses. This actor uses exactly those endpoints — no reverse engineering, no login.

How do I scrape JobsDB job listings?

Enter keywords and pick country (hk or th); optionally add location, dateRange, workType or salary filters, then start the run. Results land in the Apify dataset as clean JSON rows: title, company, salary label, location, posted date, category, apply URL and optional full description.

How do I scrape jobs in Singapore? JobsDB Singapore is gone — what now?

SEEK closed the Singapore JobsDB site — sg.jobsdb.com now redirects to Jora. The actor's country: "sg" therefore searches sg.jora.com, the successor brand, through the same SEEK v5 API — Singapore job data stays available without changing your pipeline.

How do I scrape Hong Kong and Thailand jobs?

Set country: "hk" for hk.jobsdb.com or country: "th" for th.jobsdb.com. Add location values like Central, Kowloon or Bangkok, and use dateRange to focus on fresh postings.

Can I use this for salary benchmarking?

Yes. Run broad keyword samples per market (e.g. software engineer, accountant) with includeDescription: false and a large maxItems, then aggregate the salary field. Advertised salary ranges on JobsDB/JobStreet are the same source SEEK uses to compile its own APAC salary reports, and salary-guide providers (e.g. Robert Half, Hays) benchmark from published job-ad data. Note that many employers don't publish a figure, so salary is empty on some records.

SEEK vs Indeed — which job board should I scrape?

Coverage overlaps, so it depends on the market. SEEK is the regional leader in Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines (JobsDB, Jora, JobStreet) plus Australia and New Zealand; Indeed is stronger in many other countries (e.g. India, Vietnam, the Americas). For six-market Southeast Asia coverage in one actor, SEEK via this actor is the better fit — combine with an Indeed actor (see Related Actors) if you need cross-check coverage.

What are the alternatives to this actor?

Other Apify actors in the SEEK family mostly cover only Hong Kong and Thailand (e.g. crawlerbros/jobsdb-scraper, khadinakbar/jobsdb-jobs-scraper, unfenced-group/jobsdb-scraper) or only JobStreet markets (e.g. blackfalcondata/jobstreet-scraper). This is the only one that scrapes all six APAC markets — JobsDB HK, JobsDB TH, Jora SG, JobStreet ID/MY/PH — in a single run with one input schema.

Can I run this actor on a schedule?

Yes — every Apify actor can be scheduled from the Console or via the API. Schedules are the recommended way to keep job-market, salary-benchmark and fresh-listing datasets current.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: returns structured SEEK-family job listings (JobsDB HK/TH, Jora SG, JobStreet ID/MY/PH) — one dataset item per job with title, company, salary label, location, posted date, work type, category, apply URL and optional full description.

Minimal working input:

{ "country": "hk", "keywords": "software engineer", "maxItems": 50 }

Variant — listing-only, no detail requests (faster, half the per-job requests):

{ "country": "my", "keywords": "accountant", "maxItems": 100, "includeDescription": false }

Output field names: jobId, title, company, location, locations, salary, postedDate, postedDateDisplay, workTypes, workType, classification, category, classifications, teaser, bulletPoints, isFeatured, advertiserId, advertiserName, employerId, companyProfileStructuredDataId, applyUrl, companyJobsUrl, country, countryCode, description, descriptionText.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• keywords is the only required field; an empty or missing value fails the run.
• includeDescription (default true) adds one GraphQL request per job — extra time and load. Set false for faster runs when descriptions aren't needed. A failed detail call never drops the listing record.
• maxItems has a hard cap of 1000 (soft default 50); values are clamped into [1, 1000].
• country is an enum: hk | th | sg | id | my | ph. sg hits Jora, id/my/ph hit JobStreet, hk/th hit JobsDB — different domains behind the same API.
• workType is an enum: "" (any) | 242 full time | 243 part time | 244 contract/temp | 245 casual/vacation.
• Free (non-paying) runs are limited to 10 items regardless of maxItems.
• Salary is frequently missing because employers don't publish a figure — null salary is normal, not an error.

Billing: pay-per-event — $0.00005 per actor start (one event per GB of memory) plus $0.001 per dataset item (lower on higher Apify plan tiers). A 100-job run with descriptions costs roughly $0.10 plus the start event.
