SEEK Job Scraper - Deduplicated, Pay Once Per Job (AU & NZ)

Get every matching job from SEEK (seek.com.au and seek.co.nz) as clean JSON, CSV or Excel: title, employer, salary, full description, applicant numbers, employer industry and size, exact posting dates and structured locations. Built to be complete and fair:

• Complete. SEEK stops every search at 550 results, even when it reports thousands. This Actor detects that wall and automatically splits the search (by sub-category, work type, salary band and region) until every matching job is reached. Most other scrapers silently return the first 550.
• Deduplicated, billed once. Duplicates inside a run are removed. Give your search a memory name and jobs you already received are skipped in every later run. You never pay twice for the same job.
• Filter by employer, not just by job. Industry (the site's own employer taxonomy), employer name, rating, recruitment agencies on or off, private advertisers on or off.
• Honest about what you get. Every run ends with a summary of coverage and how often each field was populated. The table below tells you what to expect per market before you spend a cent.

Also covers JobStreet (Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia) and JobsDB (Hong Kong, Thailand): pick any of the eight markets in the "Countries" dropdown. If you mostly need those markets, the sibling listings JobStreet Job Scraper and JobsDB Job Scraper are the same engine with those defaults.

30-second start

1. Pick Countries (🇦🇺 Australia, 🇳🇿 New Zealand are preselected) and, if you like, Locations from the list or type your own ("All Sydney NSW").
2. Pick Job categories (for example "Marketing & Communications") and/or type Keywords ("marketing manager").
3. Optional: Employer industries (for example "Online Media & eCommerce", "Specialty Retail").
4. Choose Posted within (last 24 hours, 3, 7, 14 or 30 days).
5. Give it a Memory name if you will run it again and only want new jobs.
6. Start. Download JSON, CSV or Excel from the Dataset tab, or read it through the API.

Prices: $0.60 per 1,000 jobs found, plus $0.30 per 1,000 for full job details and $0.10 per 1,000 for employer profiles (only when the employer actually has one). A complete record therefore costs $1.00 per 1,000 jobs. Duplicates, filtered-out jobs and empty profiles are free. There is no start fee.

What you get, per market

	Australia	New Zealand	Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia	Hong Kong, Thailand
Job title, employer, teaser, bullet points, category, work type, listing date, URL	always	always	always	always
Full description (HTML, text, Markdown, sections)	always with job details	always	always	always
Salary shown on the ad, parsed to min / max / period / currency	32% of ads show a salary; usually per year, often "+ super"	similar to Australia	most ads show a salary, usually per month (RM, S$, PHP, Rp)	many ads show a salary per month (HK$, THB)
Applicant count, share with resume and cover letter	appears a few hours after posting; 74% of ads	same	same	same
Employer industry, size, website, rating, reviews	28% of ads link to an employer profile	similar	similar; profiles are common for larger employers	similar
Suburb / district, region, state	yes	yes (region)	yes (state or region)	yes (district and area)
Postcode	96% of ads	64% of ads	not published on the site	not published on the site
On-site / hybrid / remote	when declared by the advertiser	same	same	same
Screening questions	when the advertiser uses the site's apply flow	same	same	same
Labels in the local language	n/a	n/a	Indonesia: yes (set Label language)	Thailand and Hong Kong: yes

Things this Actor deliberately does not do: it does not reveal salary ranges the advertiser chose to hide, does not collect recruiter contact details from profile pages, does not log in or touch anything behind a login, and does not cover Zhaopin (China), which runs on a different platform.

How the filters map to the site

Input	What it does
Countries	Which sites to search. Each country is one dataset; results carry market, country and brand.
Locations	Regions and cities exactly as the site names them (dropdown), or anything you would type into the site's location box. Unresolved entries appear in unresolvedLocations in the run summary.
Job categories / sub-categories	The site's classification taxonomy (30 categories, 394 sub-categories). Labels or ids both work through the API.
Keywords	The site's keyword search.
Work type, work arrangement, salary from/to	The site's own filters. The salary filter also matches ads that hide their salary.
Posted within	1 / 3 / 7 / 14 / 30 days use the site's filter. Any other number of days through the API is applied exactly. postedAfter / postedBefore are exact ISO timestamps.
Employer industries	Matched against the employer's company profile. Decide with "Employers without a known industry" whether profile-less employers are excluded (precise) or included (complete).
Must contain / must not contain	Plain-text filters over title, teaser, bullets, employer and (with job details) the full description.
Search URLs	Paste any search, job or company URL from SEEK, JobStreet or JobsDB (old or new domains).
Memory name	The key that makes repeat runs return only new jobs.

Output

One item per job. Nested objects for developers (salary, classifications, descriptionSections) and flat fields for spreadsheets (salaryMin, salaryMax, state, postcode, companyIndustry...). The last item of every run is a run-summary with coverage, fill rates, filter counts and charges.

id, url, market, country, brand	Identity. sourceMarket shows where a cross-listed ad originated.
title, normalisedRoleTitle, teaser, bulletPoints, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, descriptionSections	The ad.
listedAt, createdAt, updatedAt, expiresAt	ISO timestamps (UTC).
classification, subclassification (+ ids)	The site's job taxonomy.
location, suburb, area, city, state, stateCode, postcode, locationHierarchy	Structured location.
workType, workArrangement	Full time / part time / contract / casual; on-site / hybrid / remote.

Using the API

Same input as the form. Ids and labels are interchangeable.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation_craft~seek-job-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('automation_craft/seek-job-scraper').call({

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("automation_craft/seek-job-scraper").call(run_input={
    "markets": ["AU"], "keywords": "marketing manager", "postedWithinDays": "7", "maxItems": 200})
items = [i for i in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items() if i.get("type") != "run-summary"]

Scheduling: create a Schedule in Apify (daily or weekly) with a memory name set; each run then delivers only the jobs that appeared since the previous run.

Notes on the 550-result wall

SEEK returns at most 550 results per distinct search and then silently returns empty pages, no matter how many jobs it says exist. This Actor probes the total, and when a search is over the wall it splits it into narrower searches (sub-category, then work type, then salary band, then region) and merges the results, removing duplicates. The run summary reports slices, uniqueJobsSeen and slicesTruncated (which should be empty). Very broad searches (for example a whole country with no filters) can take a few minutes; narrow them with a category or a time window when you can.

Fair use

This Actor reads publicly available listings and the public employer profiles the site publishes, at a polite request rate (4 per second by default). It never logs in. Use the data in line with the site's terms and the laws that apply to you.
