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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Seek.com.au Jobs Scraper Scrape jobs from [Seek.com.au](https://www.seek.com.au) — titles, companies, locations, salaries, work types, arrangements, classifications, and full descriptions. HTTP-only; no login, no cookies, no proxy required. ### Output (per job) - `type` = `job_seek` - `id`, `url`, `jobLink` (alias of `url`) - `title`, `company`, `companyLogo` - `location` = `{ city, state, postCode, country }` - `locationDescription` — human-readable label (e.g. `"Mulgrave, Melbourne VIC"`) - `locationArea` — Seek tracking area (e.g. `"Eastern Suburbs"`) - `broaderLocationName` — parent region (e.g. `"Melbourne"`) - `workType` — e.g. `"Full Time"`, `"Contract/Temp"` - `workTypeLabels` — raw enum list (e.g. `["FULL_TIME"]`) - `workArrangement` — display text (e.g. `"On-site"`, `"Hybrid"`, `"Remote"`) - `workArrangementTypes` — enum list (e.g. `["ONSITE"]`) - `salary`, `salaryDetails` = `{ min, max, currency, type }` - `postedAt`, `postedAtLabel` (e.g. `"2d ago"`), `expiresAt` - `classification`, `subClassification` - `normalisedRoleTitle`, `normalisedOrganisationName` - `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionText` - `teaser` — short 1-line summary - `bulletPoints` (list) - `questionnaire` (list of screening questions, when present) - `recruiterName`, `recruiterAgency`, `recruiterProfile` - `advertiserId`, `advertiserName`, `advertiserVerified` - `isPrivateAdvertiser` (true when advertiser posts without a company identity) - `isLinkOut` (true = external direct-apply flow) - `isVerified`, `isExpired`, `status`, `sourceZone` - `displayType`, `isFeatured`, `isPremium`, `isStandout`, `isBranded` (listing promo flags) - `applyUrl`, `applyLink` (alias), `directApplyUrl` (when external) - `phoneNumber` (when recruiter provides one) - `videoUrl`, `videoPosition` (when job includes an advertiser video) - `branding` = `{ logoUrl, coverImageUrl, thumbnailCoverImageUrl, id }` - `companyId`, `companySlug`, `companyIndustry`, `companySize`, `companyWebsite` - `companyDescription`, `companyRating`, `companyReviewCount`, `companyPerks` - `companyProfile` (raw nested profile object, when returned) - `emails`, `phoneNumbers` (extracted from description text) - `scrapedAt` If a search returns zero matching jobs, a single `job_seek_blocked` sentinel record is emitted. ### 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/` 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). # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Seek search URLs. Examples: https://www.seek.com.au/python-jobs, https://www.seek.com.au/jobs?keywords=python&where=Sydney, https://www.seek.com.au/job/91572959 (direct job URL also supported). ## `searchTerm` (type: `string`): Optional keyword filter. Used to build a search URL when no searchUrls are supplied. ## `location` (type: `string`): Optional location filter, e.g. "Sydney NSW" or "Melbourne VIC". Combined with searchTerm to build a /jobs?keywords=&where= URL. ## `state` (type: `string`): Optional Australian state filter (e.g. NSW, VIC, QLD). Appended to the location when constructing the search URL. ## `postCode` (type: `string`): Optional Australian 4-digit postcode. Appended to the location when constructing the search URL. ## `radius` (type: `integer`): Distance in kilometres around the location. Passed as Seek's distance parameter when building a search URL. ## `salaryType` (type: `string`): Seek salarytype parameter. Controls how the salary range is interpreted on Seek's side. ## `workTypes` (type: `array`): Client-side filter. Only emit jobs whose workType matches one of the selected values. ## `workArrangements` (type: `array`): Client-side filter. Only emit jobs whose work arrangement matches one of the selected values. ## `dateRange` (type: `string`): Client-side filter on postedAt. "any" keeps all; otherwise only emit jobs posted within the last N days. ## `salaryMin` (type: `integer`): Client-side filter. Only emit jobs whose parsed salary max is at least this value. ## `salaryMax` (type: `integer`): Client-side filter. Only emit jobs whose parsed salary min is at most this value. ## `subclassifications` (type: `array`): Client-side filter. Only emit jobs whose subClassification name matches one of these values (case-insensitive). ## `includeOneInTitle` (type: `array`): Client-side filter. Only emit jobs whose title contains at least one of the given substrings (case-insensitive). ## `requireEmail` (type: `boolean`): Client-side filter. Only emit jobs whose description contains at least one email address. ## `requirePhone` (type: `boolean`): Client-side filter. Only emit jobs whose description contains at least one phone number. ## `requireEmailPhone` (type: `boolean`): Client-side filter. Only emit jobs whose description contains BOTH an email address AND a phone number. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Seek sort order applied to the search URL when constructed from keywords/location. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum job listings to return. ## `scrapeJobDetails` (type: `boolean`): Fetch each job's detail page for the full description + extra metadata. Off = listing-card fields only. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy. Seek 403s bare datacenter IPs on Apify, so the default enables Apify's free datacenter proxy pool. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.seek.com.au/python-jobs" ], "state": "", "salaryType": "any", "dateRange": "any", "requireEmail": false, "requirePhone": false, "requireEmailPhone": false, "sortBy": "KeywordRelevance", "maxItems": 3, "scrapeJobDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
