## 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

## AU Data Jobs Scraper - Seek

Daily, recruiter-grade pipeline of Australian data, analytics, BI, ML and
AI roles from Seek, deduped, salary-tagged, ethical-blocklist filtered.

### What this is for

Seek is the dominant AU jobs board, and ~3,000 of its current listings
sit inside our 33-category data-sphere taxonomy. This Actor walks every
listed page across all 33 categories on every run, parses each card,
attaches a taxonomy tag, applies an ethical blocklist (gambling, payday,
weapons, fossil-fuels, defence, surveillance and 14 more excluded
sectors) and writes a clean structured row per listing.

### How this helps you

| You are a... | You use this to... |
|---|---|
| Recruitment agency | Wake up each morning to a JSON / CSV of every new AU data role you can pitch to your candidates, scoped to the desks you cover |
| Career-tech founder | Power "what jobs match my user's skills?" without scraping Seek yourself |
| Data analyst | Track which companies are hiring in your specialty before applying |
| Researcher / journalist | Quote real numbers in your AU labour-market article instead of guessing |
| HR-tech product manager | Embed a live AU jobs feed into your dashboard product without building scraper infrastructure |

### Output (one row per listing)

`title`, `company`, `location`, `salary`, `posted`, `url`, `teaser`,
`area` (taxonomy category), `source`, `work_type`, `classification`,
`scraped_at`. Full schema in `OUTPUT_SCHEMA.json`.

### Pricing

**$0.0003 per dataset item** (~$0.21 per 1,000 jobs scraped). A typical
full-coverage run pulls ~3,000 rows = ~$0.90 per run. Pay-per-result - 
you only pay for rows you receive.

### Excluded by design

No actuarial, risk management, insurance reserving / pricing, IFRS 17 or
financial modelling roles - those are not part of the data sphere. No
gambling, payday, weapons, fossil-fuels, defence, surveillance or 14
other excluded sectors (full list in the ethical blocklist).

CV-free. No personal information ships in this image.

### Run it

In Apify Console, paste an input like:

```json
{ "max_pages": 3, "areas": [] }
````

Or programmatically:

```bash
apify call data_lattice_au/data-jobs-seek-scraper --input-file=- <<EOF
{ "max_pages": 5, "areas": ["data_engineering", "ml_engineer"] }
EOF
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("data_lattice_au/data-jobs-seek-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
