Input

Field	Type	Description
searchUrls	string[]	Seek search or job URLs. Prefill: https://www.seek.com.au/python-jobs.
searchTerm	string	Keywords used to build a search URL when searchUrls are missing.
location	string	Optional location, e.g. "Sydney NSW". Combined with searchTerm.
workTypes	string[]	Filter by work type (Full Time, Part Time, Contract/Temp, Casual/Vacation).
workArrangements	string[]	Filter by work arrangement (On-site, Hybrid, Remote).
dateRange	enum	Filter by posted date (any, 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 days).
salaryMin / salaryMax	integer	Filter by parsed salary range.
sortBy	enum	KeywordRelevance or ListedDate.
maxItems	integer	Max jobs per run. Default 3.
scrapeJobDetails	boolean	Fetch each job's detail page for the full description. Default true.

How it works

1. Fetch each searchUrls entry (or build one from searchTerm + location + sortBy).
2. Parse the inline window.SEEK_REDUX_DATA JSON blob and read results.results.jobs[] — Seek ships the full job list as embedded JSON (no browser, no GraphQL auth, no pagination needed for the first page).
3. For each job, fetch https://www.seek.com.au/job/<id> to get the full description and apply link.
4. Apply client-side filters (workTypes, workArrangements, dateRange, salaryMin, salaryMax) before emitting each row.

FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. Seek serves clean HTML to datacenter IPs.

Do I need login / cookies? No.

Why is the sentinel emitted? When the given URL / filters match no jobs, we still emit one record so downstream pipelines never see an empty output.

Are salaries always populated? No — Seek advertisers often omit salary. When it's missing the scraper simply doesn't include the salary / salaryDetails keys (no nulls).
