Jobstreet & JobsDB Scraper — SEA & Hong Kong Jobs | $0.9/1k

What does Jobstreet & JobsDB Scraper do?

Jobstreet & JobsDB Scraper extracts job ads from Jobstreet and JobsDB, the largest job boards in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, and delivers them as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. One run covers six country sites: Jobstreet Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia, and JobsDB Hong Kong and Thailand. Type keywords such as software engineer or accountant and cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Makati City or Kowloon, or paste search and job URLs from your browser, and get one row per job: title, company, location, salary (the displayed text plus parsed minimum, maximum, currency and period), work type, remote/hybrid/on-site, job category, posting and closing dates, and the full job description.

It works as a Jobstreet API and JobsDB API alternative: no account, no login, no browser and no residential proxy. It reads the same public, logged-out job search the sites show to every visitor.

Use cases for this Jobstreet and JobsDB scraper

• Recruiting and staffing agencies: see which companies are hiring for the roles you place in Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong or Thailand, with company names, industries, sizes and websites for lead lists.
• Salary benchmarking across Asia: collect advertised salary ranges per role and city, already split into salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency (MYR, SGD, PHP, IDR, HKD, THB, USD) and salaryPeriod.
• Labour-market research and job boards: track postings per category, city, work type or remote option, or feed fresh listings into your own product.
• AI agents and automations: a daily scheduled run with postedWithinDays: 1 and sortBy: "date" gives a clean "new today" feed per country.

Optional fields are left out when the ad does not publish them; for example about half of all ads hide the salary. Labels are in English; the job texts stay in the language the employer wrote them in (English, Bahasa, Thai, Chinese).

Result status (tri-state output)

status	Meaning	Billed?
ok	The job was found and extracted.	Yes
not_found	The site answered, but the search has no jobs, or the pasted job no longer exists. The row names the search or job.	No
error	The site could not be read after retries. error says why.	No

A run that finds nothing still ends successfully with its free not_found rows, so a scheduled search that is empty today does not show up as a failed run.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description

postedWithinDays	integer	-	Only jobs listed in the last N days
salaryMin, salaryMax	integer	-	The sites' salary filter, in each site's local currency
salaryPeriod	string	month	What the salary filter means: month, year or hour

Filters apply to keyword searches and fill in whatever a pasted search URL does not already set. The four example URLs are skipped automatically as soon as you set keywords, locations, other country sites or any filter. With no keywords, locations or URLs of your own, the Actor lists the newest jobs of each selected site.

Example input:

{
    "countries": ["MY", "SG", "ID"],
    "keywords": ["data analyst", "accountant"],
    "locations": ["Kuala Lumpur", "Singapore", "Jakarta Raya"],
    "workTypes": ["fullTime"],
    "postedWithinDays": 7,
    "maxItems": 500,
    "maxItemsPerSearch": 100
}

How much does it cost to scrape Jobstreet and JobsDB?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Platform usage (compute, storage, data transfer) is included in these prices:

Event	Price	Charged when
Actor start	$0.005 per run	Once when the run starts (one event per GB of memory; the Actor runs on 1 GB).
Job ad	$0.0009 per job	One job with status: ok was saved to the dataset.

1,000 jobs cost about $0.91 ($0.005 to start plus 1,000 x $0.0009), full descriptions included. Rows with status not_found or error are never billed, and a job found by several of your searches or sites is saved and billed once. The free Apify plan's monthly credit covers several thousand jobs.

You can cap spending per run with Maximum results and with the run's Max total charge option; the Actor stops gracefully when either limit is reached and keeps everything it has already saved.

How it compares

• Six country sites in one run and one schema, Jobstreet and JobsDB together, with duplicates across sites and searches removed.
• Single job URLs work, not only search pages: paste https://hk.jobsdb.com/job/<id> or just the id and get the full ad.
• Salaries are parsed per market: Indonesian dot-separated rupiah, "315k p.a." style Hong Kong ranges, hourly pesos, USD-paid remote roles; the displayed text is kept next to the numbers.
• Fast: one search call returns up to 100 jobs; with full descriptions a 600-job run across six sites took 98 seconds on Apify.

It is not for you if you need candidate profiles, recruiter contact data, applicant counts or anything inside a Jobstreet or JobsDB account; those are out of scope by design.

Integrations, exports and API access

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, XML and HTML from the Output tab or the dataset API. Apify integrations and webhooks push the same rows into Google Sheets, Airtable or a CRM, Slack, Amazon S3 or your own endpoint, directly or through Zapier, Make and n8n. Call the Actor from the Apify API (snippets on the API tab), from the Apify MCP server, or from any AI agent: inputs are plain strings and numbers, and every row carries status and error.

Tips

• Keep maxItems small while testing, then raise it. The budget is first shared evenly between your searches, so a multi-country run returns a mix of countries.
• Put all keywords and countries in one run instead of many small runs: you pay the start fee once and duplicates are removed.
• Set fetchDetails to false for the fastest list-level runs (title, company, location, salary, category, teaser and dates, but no full description).
• Search in the site's language too: Thai and Bahasa keywords work as typed.

Limitations

• Locations are shared across sites. The six sites use one SEEK job pool, so a Kuala Lumpur search on the Hong Kong site also returns Kuala Lumpur jobs. Pick only the matching country when you search by city; duplicates are removed either way.
• The sites' search is broad. Like on the websites, a keyword also returns related jobs, and the salary filter keeps ads that hide their salary.
• No apply link. The employer's own application page is not published to logged-out visitors; isLinkOut tells you whether applying happens off-site, and url opens the ad.
• Vietnam and the former Jobstreet Thailand site are not covered: they no longer exist as SEEK sites.
• Undocumented data source. The Actor reads the public job search the sites' own pages use. The sites can change it at any time; rows then come back as error with a reason and the Actor is updated (report it in the Issues tab).
• Descriptions are the employer's own text. E-mail addresses and phone numbers are removed, and recruiter phone numbers and contacts are never requested, but a description may still mention a person by name.

FAQ

Do I need a Jobstreet or JobsDB account or API key? No. You only need an Apify account. The Actor uses the sites' public, logged-out job search.

Can I paste a search from the website? Yes. Set your filters on the site, copy the address bar URL (for example https://my.jobstreet.com/software-engineer-jobs/in-Kuala-Lumpur?worktype=242) and paste it. Keywords, location, category, work type, date and salary filters in the URL are kept.

Which currency is salaryMin in? The one in salaryCurrency, per salaryPeriod. Most ads in these markets state a monthly salary in the local currency; some remote roles pay in USD or AUD.

Why is companyName empty on some rows? Those ads are posted as "Private Advertiser"; the site does not disclose the employer, so the field is left out rather than filled with the placeholder.

Why did I get fewer rows than maxItems? The searches had fewer matches, duplicates across sites and searches were removed, or the run hit your Max total charge limit. Check the run log for "Stopping gracefully".

Is it legal to scrape Jobstreet and JobsDB? Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, but you are responsible for how you use the output. Read the legal notice below and the sites' terms of use, and do not collect personal data without a legitimate reason.

Can I use this Actor from an AI agent or MCP client? Yes. Called with no arguments it returns 20 current software engineer jobs from four countries in a few seconds. Every row is self-describing (status plus error), inputs are plain strings, and results can be fetched via the dataset API or the Apify MCP server.

Legal and data-protection notice

This Actor extracts only job ads that Jobstreet and JobsDB publish publicly to logged-out visitors; it does not extract private user data such as candidate profiles, recruiter names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, gender or precise location (e-mail addresses and phone numbers found in free-text job descriptions are removed before the row is saved, and the ads' contact phone numbers are never requested), and it does not log in or work around access controls. However, your results could still contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union, by the PDPA in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, by the Data Privacy Act in the Philippines, by the PDP Law in Indonesia, by the PDPO in Hong Kong and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you are unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You are responsible for complying with the sites' terms of use and applicable law when using the extracted data.
