JobStreet Jobs Scraper

JobStreet runs job boards for Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia on SEEK's job platform.

Choose a Country, type accountant and click Start. Pay appears only when the advertiser shows it: 509 of 1,369 Malaysian software engineer ads had it in a September 2026 run. It costs $0.50 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan ($0.25 on Business), and the $5 of monthly credit in Apify's Free plan covers about 10,000 jobs.

How to scrape JobStreet

1. Pick the Country: Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines or Indonesia. With several countries ticked, the same search runs once on each site.
2. Type Keywords such as accountant, software engineer or nurse, and a Location spelled the JobStreet way: Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Metro Manila, Cebu or Jakarta. An empty location searches the whole country.
3. Filter with Classifications, Work types, Remote options, Listed in the last (1 to 31 days), Minimum yearly salary in the local currency and Sort by. JobStreet applies them in its own search. In October 2026 a minimum of 60,000 cut Malaysian accountant ads from 5,718 to 2,852, and 3 of the first 10 left had no visible pay, because the filter also uses pay that employers hide.
4. A search set up on the website can be pasted into Search links from JobStreet (optional), e.g. https://my.jobstreet.com/accountant-jobs/in-Kuala-Lumpur?worktype=243 for part-time jobs. Its keywords, place and filters are kept.
5. Keep Include full job details on for the full text and the expiry date of the first 450 ads, then click Start. Ads land in the Output tab as they arrive; export them as CSV, Excel or JSON, or read the dataset with the API.

Limits

• JobStreet's search gives at most 500 ads per query. When Maximum jobs asks for more, the actor walks through the 30 classifications and splits any classification over 500 by its 4 work types, yet one slice can still hold more. In September 2026 software engineer matched 2,659 ads in Malaysia and the split reached 1,369 of them; full-time ICT jobs alone filled one slice of 500. The run log estimates how many ads stayed out of reach.
• The numbers are read out of the pay text, so wording without figures, such as Attractive package, leaves them empty. salaryText always keeps the original.
• Several countries are read one after another and share Maximum jobs, so the first site can use up the whole limit.
• workArrangement is set on a minority of ads: 254 of 1,369 in Malaysia and 72 of 1,031 in Singapore in September 2026.
• Descriptions come from a second service that allows about 500 reads per session. The actor uses a single session per run and stops asking at 450, so later ads keep their search fields while description, descriptionHtml and expiresAt stay empty; the SUMMARY record reports them as detailsSkipped. A run per country or per classification keeps each part under that limit. After a "Too many requests" reply the actor waits 15 seconds, doubling up to 2 minutes, before it asks again.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape JobStreet?

JobStreet publishes these ads to anyone who opens the site, and the actor reads them through the site's public search and job detail services, slowing down when they ask. It returns job ads only, never candidate profiles. Some ads include an email address for applications: 56 of 1,369 Malaysian and 103 of 1,031 Singaporean descriptions in a September 2026 run. How you use the data is your responsibility.

How many ads does each JobStreet site have?

On 11 October 2026 a search without keywords matched 75,162 ads in the Philippines, 66,060 in Singapore, 58,671 in Indonesia and 51,239 in Malaysia. Narrow it with keywords, a location or a classification before a large export, because of the 500-ad limit per query.
