What it does

The Actor searches public jobs on SEEK Australia and SEEK New Zealand and saves one row per job. A row has the job ID, title, employer, location, category, work type, salary text, salary numbers when SEEK writes them, listing date and job link. You can also add the full job text and the listing end date.

Good fit

• You need a list of jobs for a role and a place, as a table or JSON.
• You check salaries for a role in one city or across many cities.
• You run the same search every day and want only the jobs you have not seen.
• You feed a job board, a CRM or an AI agent with public job data.

How it works

1. You enter keywords, a location and the filters you need.
2. The Actor reads SEEK search results page by page and adds the job text if you asked for it.
3. It saves the jobs to a dataset that you can open as a table or download.

Quick start

1. Open the Input tab and enter a role in Search keywords, for example data analyst (box 1 in the picture).

2. Enter a city in Location, for example Sydney (box 2 in the picture).

3. Check Maximum jobs. Keep 20 for a first run (box 3 in the picture).

4. Click Start (the button is outside the picture).

5. Open the Output tab when the run ends. You see a table with one row per job (box 5 in the second picture).

   

Expected result: 20 public SEEK jobs in the dataset after about 5 seconds, with status SUCCEEDED.

Empty input: a run with {} uses the defaults, so it searches for data analyst in Sydney and saves up to 20 jobs. An empty keywords value or an unknown field stops the run with reason INVALID_INPUT. It saves no rows and costs only the start fee.

Interacting settings

When	Input A	Input B	Effective behavior	Example	Cost/result effect
Several searches	keywords + moreKeywords	where + moreLocations	Every keyword runs with every location, one after another. Each job is saved once.	2 keywords × 3 locations = 6 searches	The first searches can use all of maxItems
Repeat alerts	onlyNew	sortBy	Only jobs not seen before are saved. date shows the latest jobs first.	onlyNew: true, sortBy: date	An unchanged run saves 0 rows and costs only the start fee
Same alert, other limit	onlyNew	maxItems, sortBy, includeDescription	These three fields do not start a new history. Other search fields do.	Change maxItems from 20 to 50	Earlier jobs stay marked as seen
Recent jobs	dateRange	Any search	SEEK has fixed date windows, so the Actor asks for the next wider window, then removes older jobs.	dateRange: 5	Removed jobs are not charged, but they use up scan limits
Country and place	country	where	The place must be in the selected country. A search that finds only other countries goes on to the next search.	country: NZ, where: Sydney	0 rows, reason LOCATION_OUTSIDE_COUNTRY, start fee only
Job text and time	includeDescription	Run timeout	The Actor stops before the timeout and keeps what it has saved.	400 jobs take about 4 minutes	With a short timeout you get partial results and reason TIME_LIMIT
Delivery	deliveryConnector	deliveryTarget	Both are needed. A delivery error never fails the run.	Notion page link	No extra charge

Send results to Slack or Notion

Pick your connector in the optional deliveryConnector field. After the run saves its data, the Actor posts a short summary (up to 25 rows and a link to the full dataset) there. Put a Notion page link or a Slack channel ID in deliveryTarget: in Notion every run is added on top of that one page, so your workspace does not fill up with new pages. A delivery error never fails the run and costs nothing extra. Connect a service once in Apify Console → MCP connectors.

Pricing

Pricing unit

The Actor uses pay per event. You do not pay platform usage: the developer pays it.

• Run start: $0.015 for each run at the default memory. The start fee scales with run memory (per GB).
• Each saved job: from $0.00098 to $0.0014, based on your Apify plan.
• Each job text: from $0.00063 to $0.0009, only when includeDescription is on and SEEK returns the text.

Apify plan	Each saved job	Each job text
Free	$0.0014	$0.0009
Bronze	$0.00126	$0.00081
Silver	$0.00112	$0.00072
Gold, Platinum, Diamond	$0.00098	$0.00063

A valid search with no results, a filter with no matches and an unchanged onlyNew run all save 0 rows and cost only the start fee. Jobs removed by a filter or already seen are not charged. A partial or failed run costs the start fee plus the rows and job texts it saved. The Actor stops when your run charge limit is reached, keeps the saved rows and reports reason CHARGE_LIMIT.

Cost examples

Scenario	Input scope	Expected item/event count	Base charge	Optional charge	Stop/cap behavior
One job	maxItems: 1	1 start, 1 job	$0.0164	None	Stops at 1 job
Small search	maxItems: 20	1 start, 20 jobs	$0.043	None	Stops at 20 jobs
Normal search	maxItems: 100	1 start, 100 jobs	$0.155	None	Stops at 100 jobs
Normal search with text	maxItems: 100, includeDescription: true	1 start, 100 jobs, 100 texts	$0.155	$0.09	Stops at 100 jobs
Largest search	maxItems: 400	1 start, 400 jobs	$0.575	None	Stops at 400 jobs
Largest search with text	maxItems: 400, includeDescription: true	1 start, 400 jobs, 400 texts	$0.575	$0.36	Stops at 400 jobs or at the time limit
No match or unchanged alert	Any	1 start, 0 jobs	$0.015	None	Ends with 0 rows

All amounts are for the Free plan and the default memory of 256 MB. On Gold and higher, 100 jobs cost $0.113, or $0.176 with job text.

Limits

• One run saves up to 400 jobs and reads up to 25 pages per search and 60 pages in all.
• SEEK shows only part of a very large result list. If you need more, split the search by location or category.
• One run can do up to 20 searches.
• Without job text a run stops with reason DEADLINE after 180 seconds and keeps the saved rows. With job text it can run until 15 seconds before the run timeout, up to 1 hour.
• If SEEK does not answer job text requests 3 times in a row, the Actor stops asking and saves the remaining rows without text. These rows have no job text charge.
• onlyNew remembers up to 20,000 job IDs for each search setup. Run these searches one after another, not at the same time.
• Above 20,000 IDs the run fails with reason STATE_LIMIT. Rows and history saved before that point are kept. Use a narrower search setup.
• If Apify blocks the job history store, the run still saves jobs and warns "New job history is not available". That run does not remember what it found.
• Each SEEK request waits up to 12 seconds and is tried at most twice.
• A job with changed text is not treated as new. The Actor does not report closed jobs and does not create schedules for you.
• The Actor reads only public jobs. It does not log in, apply to jobs or read employer accounts or applicant data. It removes emails and phone numbers from job text.
• Public access does not grant a reuse licence. Check the SEEK terms before you reuse the data. This Actor is an independent tool and is not endorsed by SEEK.

Smallest input:

{
  "keywords": "data analyst",
  "where": "Sydney",
  "maxItems": 20
}

Main output fields: jobId, title, companyName, location, url.

Measured on a real run: 20 jobs in about 5 seconds, $0.043 on the Free plan.

Limits: 400 jobs and 20 searches per run. Only public SEEK jobs in Australia and New Zealand. Turn on includeDescription for job text; it costs more and takes longer.

Troubleshooting

The run has 0 rows

Symptom: status SUCCEEDED, empty dataset, status: not_found in RUN_SUMMARY.

Likely reason: the search or filters match no jobs, or onlyNew found nothing new.

Check: run the same search on SEEK, and look at filtered and duplicates in RUN_SUMMARY.

Action: use wider keywords, remove a filter or raise dateRange.

Reason is LOCATION_OUTSIDE_COUNTRY

Symptom: 0 rows and reason LOCATION_OUTSIDE_COUNTRY.

Likely reason: the location is in the other country, for example Sydney with country: NZ.

Check: compare where and country.

Action: change country or the location.

The run has fewer jobs than expected

Symptom: fewer rows than maxItems, with hasMore: true and a reason such as SCAN_LIMIT, TIME_LIMIT or CHARGE_LIMIT.

Likely reason: the run reached a limit from the Limits section, or your charge limit.

Check: read the status line and RUN_SUMMARY.

Action: raise the run timeout or charge limit, or split the search.

Some rows have no job text

Symptom: description is null with includeDescription: true, and descriptionsMissing is above 0.

Likely reason: SEEK did not answer for these jobs, or the job closed.

Check: read the warnings in RUN_SUMMARY.

Action: run again later. Rows without text have no job text charge.

The run failed with a reason that starts with SOURCE

Symptom: status FAILED and a reason such as SOURCE_SCHEMA, SOURCE_HOST_CHANGED or SOURCE_TRUNCATED. Rows saved before the error stay in the dataset.

Likely reason: SEEK changed, moved or blocked its public pages.

Check: open SEEK in a browser and run the example from Quick start.

Action: if the example also fails, write in the Issues tab.

The summary did not reach Slack or Notion

Symptom: the run succeeded, but there is no summary, and delivery in RUN_SUMMARY shows an error.

Likely reason: the connector is not connected, or deliveryTarget is wrong.

Check: open Apify Console → MCP connectors.

Action: connect the service again, then check the page link or the channel ID.

FAQ

Do I need a SEEK account?

No. The Actor reads only public jobs and needs no login.

Does it work for New Zealand?

Yes. Set country to NZ.

Why is the salary empty?

Many employers do not show pay on SEEK. Then salary and the salary number fields are null.

Why do advertiser and companyName differ?

advertiser is who placed the job, for example a recruiting agency. companyName is the employer name when SEEK shows it.

How do I get only new jobs?

Set onlyNew to true and keep the same search fields in each run. The first run saves all jobs it finds and remembers them.

Do I pay for jobs that a filter removes?

No. You pay only for jobs saved in the dataset.
