Asia Pacific Jobs Scraper · SEEK & MyCareersFuture, One Schema

Extract job postings across Asia Pacific in a single run — SEEK (Australia and New Zealand) and MyCareersFuture (Singapore's official government job portal) — mapped to one unified schema, deduplicated across sources. No login.

What you can do with it

• Search Australian, New Zealand and Singaporean postings in one run, instead of buying and maintaining a separate scraper per site.
• Filter once, everywhere: keywords, location and remote apply the same way across every source that supports them.
• Compare pay and location across the region: every record shares the same salaryMin/ salaryMax, city, country and employmentType fields, whichever site it came from.
• Monitor new postings daily: schedule it with onlyNew checked to get, and pay for, only what is new since the last run.

Input

Field	What it does
countries	Countries to collect for: AU, NZ, SG, MY, PH, ID, HK, TH. Default AU, SG, MY, PH. A source outside the requested countries is skipped.
keywords	Job title or keyword, for example software engineer. Empty means each source's own default mix.
location	City or region. Applied by SEEK; ignored by MyCareersFuture.
sources	Which sources to query: seek, mycareersfuture. Both by default.
publishedWithinDays	Keep only postings published in the last N days. Use 1 for a daily monitoring run.
remote	Keep only postings with this remote policy: any, remote, hybrid or onsite.
maxItems	The run stops once this many postings are saved, across both sources combined (default 50).
includeDescriptions	Add the job description as plain text (default off, for speed).
onlyNew	For scheduled runs: skip postings an earlier run of this same search already delivered.

Output

One record per posting, in the schema shared by every job actor on this account:

Why this one

Two of the region's biggest job sources, one schema, deduplicated. country and source on every row to filter or split. No connection, no login required from you.

Good to know

• SEEK needs a real browser. SEEK blocks every lighter anti-bot rung (plain fetch, datacenter proxy, even a Chrome-impersonating TLS fingerprint with a residential proxy), so this Actor opens a stealth browser (Camoufox) behind a residential proxy for it, one session per requested country (AU, NZ). MyCareersFuture is a plain HTTP API and needs none of that.
• remote is only reliable from SEEK. MyCareersFuture publishes no remote/onsite field; its postings are only kept when remote is left at "any" rather than guessed.
• Only AU, NZ and SG are covered today. MY, PH, ID, HK and TH stay in the countries enum because the region is bigger than what has a source yet, but selecting one of them alone returns nothing — a known, documented limit, not a bug, same stance as getonbrd-jobs' own 2-company limit. JobStreet/JobsDB (which would cover MY/SG/PH/ID/HK/TH) and Workforce Australia were evaluated and abandoned: both block a generic crawler through robots.txt.
• SEEK's own search-page limits apply. SEEK's robots.txt disallows every query-string URL except two narrow exceptions and disallows the /job/ detail page outright, so description on SEEK postings is the site's own short teaser, not the full ad, and experienceLevel/skills stay null/[] on them (see the standalone seek-jobs-scraper's own README for the full detail).
• Every result is deduplicated across both sources (by URL, then by normalized title/company/city) before it is counted or charged.
• No personal data: MyCareersFuture's own agency-recruiter footer (licence number and named consultant) and any loose e-mail address are stripped from descriptions before saving.

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.0012 per posting, plus a small start fee. You only pay for the postings you receive, deduplicated across both sources before being counted or charged. Store discounts apply automatically on paid Apify plans.

Run it from your code

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('bibian/asia-pacific-jobs-scraper').call({
  countries: ['AU', 'SG', 'MY', 'PH'],
  keywords: 'software engineer',
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("bibian/asia-pacific-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "countries": ["AU", "SG", "MY", "PH"],
    "keywords": "software engineer",
    "maxItems": 50
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

Monitor new postings daily and connect your tools

1. Schedule it. Save a task, pick your countries and keywords, and schedule it daily with Apify Schedules. Tick Only new results and each run returns, and charges, only the postings earlier runs of the same search did not deliver.
2. Push the results where you work. Add an Apify integration or a webhook to the task: Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n or your own endpoint.
3. Call it from your stack. The API and the JavaScript and Python clients return the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.
4. Let an AI agent use it. Through the Apify MCP server, assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT can search the Store, read this page and run the actor as a tool.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a browser or a proxy? No — this Actor runs its own browser and residential proxy for SEEK internally; you call it like any other HTTP API.

Which countries are covered? Australia and New Zealand (SEEK), Singapore (MyCareersFuture). Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Thailand are selectable but return nothing yet.

Can I get only new postings each day? Yes: set publishedWithinDays to 1, tick onlyNew, and schedule the Actor daily.

Is it legal to scrape? The actor collects publicly visible postings and follows each site's robots.txt rules. How you use the data is your responsibility: check the sites' terms and the laws that apply to you.

Something does not work? Open an issue in the Issues tab. Every public actor is test-run daily and the broken ones are repaired.

Who uses it

• Recruiting agencies and HR teams watch which companies hire, for which roles and at which salary, in their market.

• B2B sales and lead generation: a company that is hiring is a company that is buying. Filter postings by role to spot prospects early.
• Labour-market research: salaries, skills in demand, remote share and hiring volume over time.

Pricing

Pay per result: $1.20 per 1,000 postings, plus $0.01 per run start with the default 4 GB of memory. For example, 100 postings cost about $0.13. You only pay for the postings you receive, and platform usage is included in that price. Store discounts apply automatically on paid Apify plans: up to 20% off every event on the higher tiers.

Monitor new postings daily and connect your tools

1. Schedule it. Save a task, set its publication date filter to the shortest window, and schedule it daily with Apify Schedules. Deduplicate on the id field if you keep your own copy. Tick Only new results in the input and each run returns, and charges, only the postings that earlier runs of the same search did not deliver.
2. Push the results where you work. Add an Apify integration or a webhook to the task: Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n or your own endpoint, triggered at the end of every run.
3. Call it from your stack. The API and the JavaScript and Python clients return the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.
4. Let an AI agent use it. Through the Apify MCP server, assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT can search the Store, read this page and run the actor as a tool.
