A practical Seek API alternative: search by keyword, location, work type, salary range, or a search URL. Export title, company, location, AUD/NZD salary, work type, remote/hybrid, classification, teaser, and listing date as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Fast HTTP, no headless browser, no login. Call it from Python, Node.js, cURL, or Apify MCP.

Built for recruiting intelligence, salary benchmarking, and hiring-intent lists across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, and Wellington.

When to use this Actor

• You need a Seek jobs scraper that returns structured JSON for Australia or New Zealand
• You want keyword + location + work type + salary range without running a browser
• You need company, location, salary label, work arrangement, and listing date on each row
• You scrape Seek from Python, Node.js, or an MCP assistant
• You run a daily monitor and only want new job ids saved

When not to use this Actor

• Single job-ad pages (/job/…). Those pages are behind a browser check. Use a search keyword or a search URL.
• Resumes, candidate profiles, or apply-form automation. This Actor reads public job cards only.
• Guaranteed email or phone. Search cards do not include direct contacts.
• Seek Asia, Jobstreet, or Jobsdb. This Actor covers Australia and New Zealand only.
• A full job description. The search card includes the teaser and bullet points. The ad page is not fetched.

Key features

• Australia and New Zealand — country AU or NZ, or a start URL on either board
• Search URL parsing — /python-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW and query filters (keywords, where, worktype, daterange, salaryrange)
• Native filters — full time, part time, contract, casual; on-site, hybrid, remote; listed within 1–31 days; salary floor and ceiling
• Salary on the card — original label plus min, max, and period (YEAR, MONTH, HOUR) when the label contains numbers
• HTTP JSON — Chrome TLS against the public search endpoint, 256 MB, no browser
• Proxy off by default — the search endpoint responded without a proxy in testing
• Monitor mode — named Key-Value store of seen job ids; later runs save only new ids and stop when a date-sorted page is already known
• Deduplicated job ids across pages and keywords

FAQ

Is this an official Seek API? No. It calls the public search JSON the website uses. You do not need Seek developer credentials.

Can I paste a Seek search URL? Yes. startUrls accepts keyword paths and filtered query strings. Individual /job/ pages are skipped because those pages are behind a browser check.

Do I need a proxy? Leave proxy off. Testing reached the search JSON without one. Enable a proxy only if a run fails with HTTP 403.

Is salary always present? No. Many ads omit pay. salaryMin and salaryMax are set only when the salary label contains amounts. Read salaryPeriod before comparing two numbers.

Does this cover Seek Asia? No. Australia (AU) and New Zealand (NZ) only.

What is monitor mode? With monitorMode on, seen job ids are stored in a named Key-Value store. The first run is the baseline. Later scheduled runs save only ids that were not seen before, and stop when a newest-first page is already known.

Can I export JSON, CSV, or Excel? Yes. Every run writes a dataset you can download as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull with the Apify API.
