SEEK Jobs Scraper: Australia & New Zealand Jobs + Salary Alerts

Scrape SEEK.com.au and SEEK.co.nz job listings by keyword and location: title, company, salary (parsed to min/max/yearly), work type, remote/hybrid, classification, posting date and URL. Job alerts mode returns only new jobs. No login. $1 per 1,000 jobs.

Scrape jobs from SEEK (seek.com.au and seek.co.nz) in seconds: no login, no browser, no proxy setup. Built for recruiters, staffing agencies, salary analysts and job seekers in Australia and New Zealand.

What you can do with it

• Daily job alerts for a role and city (e.g. electricians in Brisbane)
• Salary benchmarking by role, state and work type
• Lead lists of companies hiring right now in AU/NZ
• Job market dashboards in Google Sheets, Excel or BI tools

Why this scraper

• Clean, normalized salary: the text as shown plus salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod and a yearly equivalent (salaryYearlyMin / salaryYearlyMax) so you can sort and compare.
• Job alerts mode: turn on Only new jobs, schedule the Actor daily, and you get (and pay for) only jobs you have not received before.
• Fast and cheap: reads the site's own search data instead of rendering pages. A default run finishes in a few seconds.
• Pay only for results: $1.00 per 1,000 jobs + $0.005 per run. No results, no job charges. Your spending limit is respected exactly: we never deliver rows you did not pay for, and never charge for rows we did not deliver.
• Deduplicated across keywords and pages.

Job alerts (only new jobs)

1. Set your search and turn on Job alerts mode: only new jobs.
2. Give it an Alert name (one per saved search).
3. Create a Schedule (e.g. every morning) and connect an integration (email, Slack, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, webhook). Each run returns only jobs posted since the previous run. Runs with no new jobs cost almost nothing.

FAQ

Do I need an account or cookies? No. The Actor only reads public job listings.

Does it scrape personal data? No. It returns job ads and company names only, no candidate or recruiter profiles. Use the data in line with the site's terms and applicable laws (GDPR etc.).

Can I get full job descriptions? Rows include the summary/snippet the search shows. Open url for the full ad.

Something broke or you need a field? Open an issue on the Issues tab; we usually answer within a day.

How fresh is the data? Live: every run reads the source at that moment. Schedule it to keep a dataset up to date.

Why did I get fewer jobs than the maximum? The source had fewer matching jobs, or duplicates were removed. You only pay for jobs delivered.
