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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Jobs Scraper Search Seek (Australia's largest job board) and get clean, de-duplicated job JSON: title, company, location, salary label and canonical listing URLs. One click, no required fields, no LLM. ### What it does Seek is Australia's dominant job platform. This actor searches Seek listings by keyword — optionally filtered by city with the natural `"python developer in Sydney"` syntax — and returns clean job JSON: title, company, location, salary label, category and the canonical listing URL. Paginates automatically up to your `maxResults`, de-duplicates repeated/featured listings, and is ready for recruiting pipelines, market research and AI agents. **Why this one:** - **Natural `keywords in city` location filter** - **Automatic pagination + dedup of featured/repeated listings** - **Salary label and category included when published** - **No LLM anywhere** — deterministic output, predictable costs, no hallucinated fields - **Clean by default** — canonical URLs (tracking parameters stripped), parsed numbers, merged duplicates ### Quick start (no code) 1. Click **Try for free** / **Start** — every field has a working default, nothing is required. 2. (Optional) change **query** to what you need. 3. Open the **Dataset** tab when the run finishes → export as JSON, CSV or Excel. ### Input | Field | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `query` | no | `data engineer` | Search keywords, optionally with location: `python developer in Sydney`. | | `maxResults` | no | `20` | Maximum clean results (capped at 500) | | `enrich` | no | `false` | Deterministic enrichment per record — see below | | `monitor` | no | `false` | Compare with the previous run, flag NEW records only | Example input: ```json { "query": "python developer in Sydney", "maxResults": 50 } ```` ### Output Real example record (from a live run): ```json { "id": "93454609", "title": "Data Engineer", "url": "https://www.seek.com.au/job/93454609", "location": "Melbourne VIC", "seller": "IBAC", "description": "Create data technology solutions with internal stakeholders to strengthen IBAC's data capabilities.", "category": "Information & Communication Technology", "listed_at": "2026-07-22T22:31:19Z", "completeness": 0.5 } ``` The final `_summary` row carries run totals (`total_clean`, `deduped`, `enriched`); in monitor mode a `_changes` row lists keys new since the last run. **Field reference** | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `id` | Seek listing ID (stable, deduplication key) | | `title` | Job title | | `url` | Canonical listing URL (`seek.com.au/job/`) | | `seller` | Company / advertiser name | | `location` | Listing location(s) | | `salary (price_text)` | Salary label when the company publishes one | | `category` | Seek classification (e.g. Information & Communication Technology) | | `listed_at` | Listing date | | `price` / `price_text` | Parsed numeric value + original text, when the source publishes one | | `completeness` | 0–1 filled-fields score (with `enrich`) | ### Use cases - **Recruiting** — daily feed of fresh roles for your keywords and cities (monitor mode). - **Salary research** — collect salary labels across a role to benchmark offers. - **Market mapping** — who is hiring the most data engineers in Sydney this month? - **Job boards** — power an AU-focused niche job board with scheduled pulls. - **AI agents** — live 'what jobs match X in Y city?' answers via MCP. ### Enrichment (optional, charged only when it produces something) Set `enrich: true` and every record additionally gets: e-mail addresses extracted from the description (when present), the canonical `domain` of the record's URL, and a `completeness` score (0–1, how many core fields are filled). Deterministic — the same input always yields the same output — and you are **only charged for records that actually got enriched**. Records where enrichment adds nothing are free. ### Monitor mode — change alerts on a schedule Set `monitor: true` and the actor compares the current run with the previous one (per-actor named storage) and flags **only NEW records**. Combine with [Apify Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) for a daily/hourly watch: the `_changes` summary row lists what appeared since the last run, and the `change-alert` event is charged **per new record only** — an unchanged run costs you almost nothing. ### Use it from your code **Python** ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("") run = client.actor("EnezLi/seek-scraper").call(run_input={ "query": "python developer in Sydney", "maxResults": 50 }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` **JavaScript** ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '' }); const { defaultDatasetId } = await client.actor('EnezLi/seek-scraper').call({ "query": "python developer in Sydney", "maxResults": 50 }); const { items } = await client.dataset(defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ``` **curl** ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/EnezLi~seek-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "query": "python developer in Sydney", "maxResults": 50 }' ``` ### Use it with AI agents (MCP) This actor is agent-ready: it appears in Apify's **AGENTS / MCP servers** catalog, so any MCP-capable assistant (Claude, custom agents, LangGraph tools) can discover and call it with a one-line tool call — zero required fields means an agent can run it safely with defaults. Connect your agent to the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) and ask for live data in natural language. ### Pricing — Pay-Per-Event, start is free | Event | When charged | |---|---| | Actor start | **Free ($0)** — try it with one click | | `result` | Per clean result returned | | `enrichment` | Only per record that actually got enriched | | `change-alert` | Monitor mode: per NEW record since the previous run | No subscription, no minimum. Volume discounts apply automatically through Apify account tiers (up to −44% on GOLD). Typical run cost example: 20 results ≈ a few cents total — you can predict your bill from the numbers above before you run. ### Is this legal? This actor collects **publicly available data only** — the same information any visitor sees in a browser, via public endpoints. It does not bypass logins, collect private personal data, or store credentials. You are responsible for using the output in compliance with the source site's terms and the laws that apply to you (e.g. GDPR when the output contains personal data). ### Support & feedback Found a bug, need another field, or want a variant for a related platform? **Open an issue on the Issues tab** — issues are monitored and answered, and frequently-requested fields get added to the standard output. The actor is maintained as part of a scraper family built on one shared, tested core (bugs fixed once are fixed everywhere). ### Changelog - **0.1** (2026-07) — initial public release: search, dedup, optional enrichment, monitor mode, PPE pricing. ### Limitations (honest ones) Uses Seek's own site search API (not an official partner feed) — stable in practice but unofficial; if Seek changes it, the actor is patched or retired per our maintenance policy. Australia site only for now. ### FAQ **Does it cover New Zealand?** This actor targets seek.com.au (Australia). NZ support is a planned variant — open an issue to vote for it. **Why do some rows have an empty salary?** Many companies simply don't publish one; the field is empty rather than guessed — this actor never invents data. **How fresh are results?** Each run queries Seek live — results are current as of the run, and `listed_at` tells you the listing date. **Do I need an API key or account on the source platform?** No. The actor uses public endpoints — you only need your Apify account. **Does it use AI / an LLM?** No. The core is fully deterministic: same input, same output, no hallucinations, no per-token costs. **Can I run it on a schedule?** Yes — use Apify Schedules; combine with monitor mode to pay only for what's new. **What's the maximum number of results?** 500 per run (memory-safe cap). Run multiple queries or schedule runs for more. **How is my bill calculated?** Only from the events in the Pricing table — start is free, and there is no subscription. # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Job search keywords, optionally with location: 'python developer in Sydney'. Leave empty to run the default example — no required fields. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of clean results to return (capped at 500). ## `enrich` (type: `boolean`): Adds deterministic enrichment per record: extracted emails, canonical domain and a completeness score. Charged per enriched record (see Pricing). ## `monitor` (type: `boolean`): Compares this run with the previous one and flags NEW records only. Ideal for scheduled runs — get alerted when something changes. Charged per change. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "data engineer", "maxResults": 20, "enrich": false, "monitor": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
