## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## JobsDB Scraper | Hong Kong & Thailand Jobs, Salary & Company Data (no API)

Scrape **JobsDB** job search results: title, company, salary, location, classification, work type, posted date. Covers **Hong Kong / Thailand**. Uses SEEK's official JSON API — **no login, no API key, no token**. Bulk-paste keywords and export clean snake_case structured data (JSON / CSV / Excel).

Great for: labour-market research, salary benchmarking, recruitment intelligence, competitor job monitoring, talent-pool building.

> For Malaysia / Singapore / Philippines jobs, use the sister Actor "JobStreet Scraper".

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `job_id` | Job ID, primary key |
| `title` | Job title |
| `url` | Job link |
| `company` | Company name |
| `advertiser` | Advertiser (may be a recruiting agency) |
| `advertiser_id` | Advertiser ID |
| `salary_label` | Salary string, e.g. `HK$25,000 – HK$35,000 per month` (`null` if none) |
| `work_types` | Work-type array, e.g. `["Full time"]` |
| `work_arrangement` | Arrangement array, e.g. `["On-site"]` |
| `location` | Work location |
| `location_country` | Location country code |
| `classification` | Job classification, e.g. `Accounting` |
| `subclassification` | Sub-classification |
| `teaser` | Job teaser (not the full JD) |
| `bullet_points` | Highlights array |
| `listing_date` | Posted time (ISO 8601) |
| `listing_date_display` | Posted-time display, e.g. `5h ago` |
| `is_featured` | Whether it is a featured/sponsored job |
| `role_id` | SEEK role code |
| `site` | Site code |
| `keyword` | The search keyword this row came from (your original input) |
| `scraped_at` | Scrape time (ISO 8601) |

> Missing values are `null`; fields are never dropped.

### Modes

| Mode | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| `search` | Keyword → job listings | ✅ v1.0 |
| `detail` | Job ID → full JD + full benefits | 🔜 v1.1 |

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| `site` | select | Site hk/th | `hk` |
| `keywords` | array | Job keywords (title or skill) | — |
| `bulkInput` | text | One keyword per line, auto-merged | — |
| `location` | text | Optional, restrict to a location | — |
| `maxItems` | integer | Cap **per keyword** (1–500) | `50` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Default Apify datacenter auto-rotation | datacenter |

### Input examples

**1. Accountants in Hong Kong (first 10)**
```json
{ "site": "hk", "keywords": ["accountant"], "maxItems": 10 }
````

**2. Data engineers in Thailand**

```json
{ "site": "th", "keywords": ["data engineer"], "maxItems": 20 }
```

**3. Bulk multi-keyword (Hong Kong)**

```json
{ "site": "hk", "bulkInput": "accountant\nmarketing\nsoftware engineer", "maxItems": 15 }
```

**4. Restrict to a location (engineering jobs in Kowloon)**

```json
{ "site": "hk", "keywords": ["engineer"], "location": "Kowloon", "maxItems": 50 }
```

### Notes

- **`maxItems` is per keyword**: 3 keywords × 50 = up to 150 rows. If the same job ranks for two keywords, it is output once per keyword (different `keyword` value), preserving each keyword's search fact.
- **Salary is a raw string**: `salary_label` comes straight from SEEK (currency, range and period vary); the original text is kept and never force-parsed. Many jobs hide the salary, in which case it is `null`.
- **`teaser` is not the full JD**: search mode returns a summary; the full job description ships in detail mode (v1.1).
- **Jobs are a snapshot**: the live JobsDB page is authoritative.

### FAQ

**Q: Do I need a JobsDB account or API key?**
No. Only public job search results are scraped — no login or token required.

**Q: Can I scrape multiple countries at once?**
One site per run. For Malaysia / Singapore / Philippines use the sister Actor "JobStreet Scraper".

**Q: Can I get the full job description and benefits?**
Search mode returns the teaser and structured fields; the full JD ships in detail mode (v1.1).

**Q: How is it billed?**
Pay per event (PPE): $0.005 per run start + $0.002 per job. You are only charged after data is successfully stored.

### Disclaimer

This tool only scrapes publicly visible JobsDB job information for labour-market research and data analysis. Users must comply with JobsDB/SEEK terms of service and local law, and are responsible for how the data is used. This tool collects no private data that requires a login. Job content reflects what the site actually shows.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

JobsDB v1.0 supports search mode.

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

Which JobsDB country to scrape.

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

Job keywords (title or skill), e.g. accountant, data engineer, marketing. One concept per keyword is most accurate.

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

Restrict to a location, e.g. Kowloon, Bangkok. Leave blank for nationwide.

## `bulkInput` (type: `string`):

**One keyword per line** (press Enter for a new line, no quotes or commas). Merged into the keywords field at run time.

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

Max items **per keyword**. N keywords fetch up to N× this number. Higher means higher cost.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

SEEK's API is friendly to datacenter requests; the default Apify datacenter proxy rotation is fine. Only adjust if you hit blocks at scale.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "site": "hk",
  "keywords": [
    "accountant"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```
