## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Seek Jobs Scraper - Australia & NZ Jobs and Salaries

### What is Seek Jobs Scraper?

**Seek Jobs Scraper** is a tool that lets you **scrape job listings from seek.com.au and seek.co.nz**: title, company, location down to suburb and postcode, salary (as written and as numbers), work type, work arrangement, classification, listing and expiry dates, the **full job description**, the **employer's screening questions**, and the **company's rating, review count, industry, size and website**. Type a keyword or paste any Seek link, click **Start**, and download the jobs as Excel, CSV or JSON.

- ⚡ **Fast:** 2,000 jobs with full descriptions in under 30 seconds, and 9,000+ jobs from one keyword across Australia in about 35 seconds (our tests)
- 🔎 **Every filter Seek has:** location, classification and sub-classification, work type, on-site/hybrid/remote, salary range, date listed and company
- 📈 **Past Seek's limit:** Seek shows about 550 jobs for one search; with this scraper big searches still give you all of them
- 🏢 **Company insights:** employee rating, review count, industry, size, website and perks next to every job
- 🔓 **No login:** no Seek account needed
- 💸 **Free to try:** the $5 of free usage every Apify account gets each month covers about 3,300 jobs with full details (about 6,200 without)

### What can Seek Jobs Scraper do?

- **Scrape Seek job search results** for any keyword, like `python developer` or `registered nurse`
- **Scrape Seek jobs by location**: a suburb, city, region or state, like `All Sydney NSW`, `Melbourne VIC 3000` or `All Auckland`
- **Filter by classification and sub-classification**, like Information & Communication Technology > Engineering - Software
- **Find remote, hybrid or on-site jobs**, full time, part time, contract or casual
- **Collect salary data**: the advertised salary text plus the minimum, maximum and period read from it
- **Get the full job description** and the **screening questions** applicants are asked
- **Scrape every job from one company**, like `Woolworths` or `Dan Murphy's`
- **Scrape single Seek job pages** from their links
- Works on **seek.com.au (Australia)** and **seek.co.nz (New Zealand)**
- Export to Excel, CSV, JSON, HTML or XML, or send the data to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier and more

### What data can you extract from Seek?

| | | |
|---|---|---|
| 💼 Job title and job ID | 🏢 Company and advertiser | 📍 Location, suburb, state, postcode |
| 💰 Salary text, min, max, period, currency | 🕒 Work type | 🏠 On-site, hybrid or remote |
| 🗂️ Classification and sub-classification | 📅 Listed date and expiry date | 📝 Full description (text and HTML) |
| ❓ Employer screening questions | ✨ Key selling points | ⭐ Company rating and review count |
| 🏭 Company industry and size | 🌐 Company website and perks | 🔗 Job link and company profile link |

### How to scrape Seek jobs

1. [Create a free Apify account](https://console.apify.com/sign-up).
2. Open **Seek Jobs Scraper**.
3. Enter search keywords and a location, or paste Seek search or job links, one per line.
4. Pick the filters you want (classification, work type, salary, date listed) and how many jobs you need per search.
5. Click **Start**, then download the jobs as Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML.

### How much does it cost to scrape Seek jobs?

You pay only for the jobs you get. A job from the search list is a **job**; a job saved with **Include full job details** turned on (the default), or from a single job link, is a **job with full details**.

| Apify plan | Jobs per 1,000 | Jobs with full details per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Free | **$0.80** | **$1.50** |
| Starter (Bronze) | **$0.70** | **$1.30** |
| Scale (Silver) | **$0.60** | **$1.15** |
| Business (Gold) and higher | **$0.50** | **$1.00** |

Platform usage is included in these prices, so there is nothing else to pay.

Example: 1,000 jobs with full details cost $1.50 on the Free plan and $1.00 on Business. Turn off **Include full job details** and the same 1,000 jobs cost $0.80 on the Free plan.

Every Apify account gets **$5 of free usage each month**, enough for about 6,200 jobs at the Free-plan list price. See the **Pricing** tab for details.

The **Overview** tab shows the main columns; every field is in the downloads. The run report lists, for each search, how many jobs Seek lists, how many were saved, and which place Seek matched your location to.

### Which fields come with full details?

| Field | List only | With full details |
|---|---|---|
| Title, company, location, classification, work type, arrangement, salary, listed date, teaser, key selling points, logo | ✅ | ✅ |
| Full description, screening questions, expiry date | | ✅ |
| Suburb, state, postcode, standard role title | | ✅ |
| Company rating, reviews, industry, size, website, perks, profile link | | ✅ (when the company has a Seek profile) |

Salary fields are empty when the advertiser does not show a salary. `salaryMin` and `salaryMax` are filled only when the salary text states a clear amount and period (about half of the shown salaries); `salaryText` always keeps the advertiser's own words.

### How can I use Seek job data?

- **Job market research:** see which roles, skills and locations are hiring across Australia and New Zealand
- **Salary benchmarking:** compare advertised pay by role, classification, city and work type
- **Lead generation for recruiters and B2B sales:** find companies that are hiring, with their website, size and industry
- **Employer branding and competitor tracking:** follow a competitor's open roles and their Seek rating
- **Job boards and aggregators:** feed fresh Seek listings into your own site or alerts
- **Remote work research:** track how many jobs offer remote or hybrid work

### How many jobs can I get?

As many as Seek lists. Seek itself shows about 550 jobs for one search; when you ask for more, you still get the rest of the search. A very narrow but crowded search (say, every full-time on-site job in one sub-classification in one city) can still stop at Seek's limit: the run report says so, and adding a keyword or location reaches the rest. A job that appears in two of your searches is saved once.

### ❓FAQ

#### How much does it cost to scrape Seek?

$1.50 per 1,000 jobs with full details (the default) or $0.80 per 1,000 list-only jobs on the Free plan, less on paid plans, with platform usage included. See the cost section above for every plan and price. **Max jobs per search or link** keeps the cost of a run under control, and you can also set a maximum cost per run.

#### How many jobs can I get from one search?

As many as Seek lists, also past the roughly 550 jobs Seek itself shows for one search; the section **How many jobs can I get?** above explains how to reach the rest of a very large search.

#### Can I scrape seek.co.nz as well as seek.com.au?

Yes. Choose **New Zealand** as the country for keyword searches, or paste seek.co.nz links. Each row's `site` field says which country the job is in.

#### Why did my location give jobs somewhere else?

Seek matches the place you type to one of its own places. `Victoria` on its own matches Victoria Park in Western Australia, while `Victoria VIC` is the state. Write places the way Seek's own location box suggests them. The run report shows the place Seek matched, and the log warns when it differs from what you typed.

#### Can I get the employer's phone number or email?

No. Contact details on Seek are shown only on request, so they are not collected. Apply links and company websites are included.

#### Do I need a Seek account?

No. You don't need a Seek account, cookies or an API key: the scraper collects the public job ads anyone can see without signing in.

#### What happens with an expired job or a wrong link?

The run goes on with the other inputs, and the run report lists the jobs that have expired or do not exist. A link that is not a Seek search or job page is named in the error message before the run starts.

#### Can I connect Seek Jobs Scraper to other tools or AI agents?

Yes. Start runs and download results with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients, send results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack with Apify integrations and webhooks, or let AI assistants and agents run it through the Apify MCP server at [mcp.apify.com](https://mcp.apify.com). For instant answers inside your app, its real-time API returns jobs directly for `/search?q=...&where=...`, without starting a run.

#### Is it legal to scrape Seek?

This scraper only collects public job ads and company profiles that anyone can see on Seek. It does not collect employer phone numbers or emails, or anything about job seekers. Job ads can still mention people by name, which may be protected by laws such as GDPR, so only scrape for a legitimate reason and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. You can read more in [Is web scraping legal?](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/)

Seek Jobs Scraper is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by SEEK Limited.

#### Something isn't working?

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Job titles, skills or companies to search Seek for, one per line ("python developer", "registered nurse", "electrician"). Each keyword is its own search.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Suburb, city, region or state, written the way Seek writes it: "All Sydney NSW", "Melbourne VIC 3000", "Victoria VIC", "All Auckland". Leave empty for the whole country. The run report says which place Seek matched. Seek links that name their own place keep it.

## `site` (type: `string`):

Which Seek to search with the keywords. Links always use their own country.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste Seek links in any mix: search result pages with any filters you set on the site (seek.com.au/python-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW?worktype=242), classification pages, company job pages (/Woolworths-jobs/at-this-company) and single job pages (seek.com.au/job/94427773).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Adds the full description, employer questions, expiry date, suburb and postcode, and the company's rating, review count, industry, size, website and perks. Turn off for a faster, cheaper list with the main fields only.

## `classifications` (type: `array`):

Only jobs in these Seek classifications.

## `subClassifications` (type: `array`):

Only jobs in these sub-classifications, by their name on Seek ("Engineering - Software", "Nursing - Aged Care"). Names used in several classifications, like "Management", need their classification chosen above or written as "Construction > Management".

## `workTypes` (type: `array`):

Only these work types. Leave empty for all.

## `workArrangements` (type: `array`):

Only on-site, hybrid or remote jobs. Leave empty for all.

## `salaryMin` (type: `integer`):

Lowest pay, in the salary type below (for example 100000 a year or 45 an hour).

## `salaryMax` (type: `integer`):

Highest pay, in the salary type below. Leave empty for no upper limit.

## `salaryType` (type: `string`):

How the salary range above is paid.

## `datePosted` (type: `string`):

Only jobs listed in this period.

Order in which jobs are collected.
