SEEK, JobStreet & JobsDB Scraper | $1.5/1K — 8 Countries

SEEK, JobStreet & JobsDB Scraper | $1.5/1K — 8 Countries

US$1.50 per 1,000 jobs with full details, US$0.60 per 1,000 without details, plus US$0.01 per run. Proxies included; failed searches, unknown locations, duplicates and jobs skipped by onlyNew are never charged.

• 8 countries, 3 brands, one output format: SEEK (AU, NZ), JobStreet (MY, SG, PH, ID) and JobsDB (HK, TH) in the same run, one pipeline instead of three.
• Up to 10,000 jobs per search, past the sites' ~550-result cap, by splitting the search into categories, sub-categories and work types.
• Only-new mode remembers up to 50,000 delivered jobs per search, so a daily schedule returns (and charges) only fresh ads.

Scrape job listings from SEEK (Australia and New Zealand), JobStreet (Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia) and JobsDB (Hong Kong and Thailand) with one actor and one output format. The three brands run on the same platform, so you get the same fields for all 8 countries.

Each job comes with the full description (plain text, Markdown or HTML), salary as min / max / currency / period next to the original salary text, applicant count when the site shows it, screening questions, the expiry date and the company profile (size, website, rating and number of reviews). Search by keyword, location, category, work type, work arrangement, salary and date posted. You can also paste search or job URLs.

What it does that other SEEK scrapers don't:

• More than 550 results per search. SEEK, JobStreet and JobsDB stop paging at about 550 results. When a search has more, the actor splits it by category, sub-category and work type, then merges the slices and removes duplicates.
• Only new jobs. Turn on onlyNew and schedule the actor. Each run returns only the jobs it hasn't delivered before, and jobs it already delivered are skipped at no charge.
• Full details in the base price. Description, applicant count and company data don't cost extra.

Built for job market research, salary benchmarking, recruitment and sales lead generation, job boards and aggregators, and hiring-signal monitoring across Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.

Use cases

• Salary benchmarking: salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryCurrency / salaryPeriod as numbers, per role, city and country.
• Recruitment and sales leads: who is hiring, for what and how often, with the company profile (size, website, rating) on every row.
• Daily job monitor: schedule a search with onlyNew and get only the ads posted since the last run.
• Job boards and aggregators: one schema for 8 countries, with the full description in text, Markdown or HTML.
• Labour market research: count ads by category, work type and work arrangement across AU, NZ and Southeast Asia.

How to use it

1. Pick one or more Countries.
2. Add Keywords (one search per line). Leave the list empty to collect every job that matches the other filters.
3. Optionally add Locations ("Sydney", "Auckland", "Kuala Lumpur", "Jakarta", "Kowloon", "Bangkok") and filters: date posted, work type, work arrangement, salary range and category.
4. Set Max jobs per search and run. Export from the Jobs view as JSON, CSV or Excel.

locations	array of strings	empty	Up to 20; each one is searched in each selected country
maxResults	integer	100	Max jobs per search, 1 to 10,000
includeDetails	boolean	true	false = list only, cheaper and faster
descriptionFormat	string	text	text, markdown or html
onlyNew	boolean	false	Deliver each job once across runs

  "onlyNew": true,
  "sortBy": "date",
  "maxResults": 500
}

    { "url": "https://www.seek.com.au/data-analyst-jobs/in-All-Melbourne-VIC?daterange=14" },
    { "url": "https://th.jobsdb.com/job/95568192" }
  ]
}

Getting past the 550-result cap

SEEK, JobStreet and JobsDB show at most about 550 results per search, even when the counter says 18,000. When you ask for more than 550 and the search has more, the actor:

1. reads the result counts per category (one request),
2. runs each category as its own search,
3. splits any category still above 550 into sub-categories, then into work types, and as a last resort collects both the newest and the most relevant 550 of that slice,
4. merges everything and drops duplicates by job id.

The log shows how many slices were used and how many unique jobs they covered. In our tests, a "nurse" search in Australia (7,863 results) with maxResults: 1500 returned 1,500 unique jobs from 5 slices, with no duplicates, instead of stopping at 550.

Only new jobs (incremental mode)

With onlyNew on, the actor keeps a history per search (country, keywords, location and filters) in your account. Each job is delivered once. On the next run, jobs that were already delivered are skipped at no charge and only new ads come back. Each saved task keeps its own history. For a monitor, sort by Newest first and set Max jobs per search above the number of jobs posted between runs.

Pricing

Pay per event, with no subscription and no proxy costs:

Event	Price
Run start	$0.01 per run
Job with full details (description, applicants, company profile)	$1.50 per 1,000 jobs ($0.0015 each)
Job without details (includeDetails: false)	$0.60 per 1,000 jobs ($0.0006 each)

Scenario	Approximate cost
100 jobs with full details	~$0.16
1,000 jobs with full details	~$1.51
10,000 jobs, list only	~$6.01
Daily "only new" monitor, 50 new jobs a day	~$0.09 per day

You are never charged for failed searches, locations that can't be found, jobs skipped by onlyNew, or duplicates. Every run respects the spending limit (maxTotalChargeUsd) you set on Apify and stops at that exact amount.

Run it from code

Replace <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN> with your token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

cURL (waits for the run and returns the items):

$curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/gangary~seek-jobstreet-jobsdb-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"country": ["AU"], "keywords": ["data analyst"], "locations": ["Melbourne"], "maxResults": 50}'

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("gangary~seek-jobstreet-jobsdb-scraper").call(
    run_input={"country": ["MY", "SG"], "keywords": ["software engineer"], "maxResults": 200}
)
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job.get("country"), job.get("title"), job.get("salaryMin"), job.get("salaryMax"))

Node.js (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('gangary~seek-jobstreet-jobsdb-scraper').call({
    country: ['HK'],
    keywords: ['accountant'],
    onlyNew: true,
    maxResults: 300,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.length, items[0]);

The synchronous endpoint waits up to 300 seconds; for big runs (thousands of jobs with details) start the run asynchronously and read the dataset when it finishes.

Integrations

Everything below is built into Apify, no extra setup on our side:

• Schedules: run a saved task daily with onlyNew on for a new-jobs alert.
• Webhooks: get a call to your own endpoint when a run finishes.
• Make, n8n and Zapier: send each run's new jobs to Slack, email, Google Sheets, your ATS or CRM.
• Google Drive: drop each run's export into a shared folder.
• Exports: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML from the dataset, or straight from the API.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Apify runs a hosted MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients can call this actor as a tool. Add this server URL to your client (it signs in with OAuth on first use, or send Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>):

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=gangary/seek-jobstreet-jobsdb-scraper

Then ask in plain words, e.g. "Get this week's data engineer jobs in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and compare the salary ranges." Setup details for each client: Apify MCP server docs.

FAQ

Which sites does it cover? All eight sites of the SEEK platform: SEEK Australia and New Zealand, JobStreet Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia, and JobsDB Hong Kong and Thailand. Pick several countries in one run and the output format stays the same.

How many jobs can I get per search? Up to 10,000 per search. Above the platform's ~550 cap the actor splits the search automatically (see above). Very broad searches may still have slices above the cap even after splitting. The log tells you how many jobs were reached.

Is the salary always there? No. Many advertisers hide the salary. When it is shown, you get the original text and the numbers (min, max, currency, period). Some ads put free text in the salary field (for example "Attractive package"). Those keep the text, and the number fields stay empty.

Do I get recruiter emails or phone numbers? No. Personal contact details are never collected, and email addresses and phone numbers inside descriptions are masked.

Why is applicantCount empty on some jobs? The sites show the applicant count only for some ads. When an ad has no count, the field is null.

Can I use a location from another country? Each location is searched on the site of each selected country. If a location belongs to a different country (for example "Sydney" with Malaysia selected), that search is skipped with a free location-outside-country row. A location the site doesn't recognise gives a free location-not-found row.

Are duplicates removed? Yes. A job that appears in several searches or slices of the same run is delivered and charged once.

How do I get a daily alert of new jobs? Save the input as a task with onlyNew on and sortBy: "date", add a daily schedule, and connect the run to Slack or email through Make, n8n or Zapier. Each run delivers and charges only jobs it hasn't delivered before.

What if Apify restarts my run in the middle? Jobs already delivered are saved in the run's state and are not delivered or charged again when it resumes. The start fee is charged once.

Do I need proxies or an account? No. Proxies are included and no login is used. The actor reads only public job ads.

Is it legal to scrape SEEK, JobStreet and JobsDB? The actor collects publicly listed job ads without logging in or bypassing a paywall, and leaves out personal contact details. Check your use case against the sites' terms and the privacy laws that apply to you, such as Australia's Privacy Act, Malaysia's PDPA and Singapore's PDPA.

Honest limitations

• Applicant count, company profile and salary depend on what each ad shows.
• With full details on, each job needs one extra request: expect about 10 jobs per second (600 jobs took about a minute in our tests). List-only runs are several times faster.
• onlyNew remembers up to 50,000 jobs per search. Older ones fall off first.
• Job ads that expire between the search and the detail request are delivered without details, charged at the list-only price, with detailsError: "job-not-found".

Changelog

• 0.1.8 (2026-10-30): cover image and links to related actors in this README.
• 0.1.7 (2026-10-30): first public release: 8 countries, full details, 550-cap splitting, onlyNew.

From the same maker

• Hiring Signals Scanner: who is hiring, how hard and for what, from company job boards on Greenhouse and Lever.
• Website Contact Extractor: emails, phones and social links from the websites of the companies you found hiring.
