JobStreet SEA Scraper — Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong

JobStreet SEA Scraper is an Apify actor that extracts job listings from JobStreet (Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia) and JobsDB (Thailand, Hong Kong) via the same SEEK GraphQL API the sites' own frontend uses — no HTML scraping, no browser required. It returns title, company, structured salary (min, max, currency, period), location, work type, and — optionally — the full job description.

Use it to build a job-market dashboard, feed an ATS/lead pipeline, benchmark SEA salaries by role and country, or track competitor hiring across six Southeast Asian job markets — exported to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

What the JobStreet SEA scraper does

• 🌏 Six SEA countries, one actor — Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia (JobStreet brand) plus Thailand and Hong Kong (JobsDB brand), all on the shared SEEK GraphQL API.
• 💰 Structured salary — salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency (MYR/SGD/PHP/IDR/THB/HKD), and salary_period (yearly/monthly/weekly/daily/hourly), parsed from the raw label — not left as a free-text string.
• 🔎 Keyword + filters — search by keywords, location, work type, date posted, and minimum salary.
• 📄 Full descriptions on demand — optional per-job detail fetch (fetch_detail) for the complete description in text and HTML, plus work arrangement and classification.
• ⚡ HTTP-only, no anti-bot browser tier — the GraphQL endpoint answers from a plain datacenter IP; no login, no CAPTCHA, no browser overhead.
• ✅ Validated output — every row is Pydantic-validated before it's pushed; a malformed listing is dropped, not shipped with garbage fields.

How to scrape JobStreet job listings

1. Click Try for free and open the actor.
2. Choose country — MY, SG, PH, ID (JobStreet) or TH, HK (JobsDB).
3. Enter keywords (optional — leave blank to browse all jobs for that country).
4. Optionally narrow with location, work_type, date_posted, or salary_min.
5. Toggle fetch_detail for full descriptions (bills the job-detail event per job).
6. Click Start and watch results stream into the dataset.
7. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull from the Apify API.

Search Malaysia for "python developer", full descriptions included:

{
  "country": "MY",
  "keywords": "python developer",
  "max_results": 100,
  "fetch_detail": true
}

Browse all Singapore jobs, listings only (no detail fetch, cheaper):

{
  "country": "SG",
  "max_results": 200,
  "fetch_detail": false
}

JobStreet job data output

Each job is one dataset row. Sample from a live MY run (fetch_detail: true):

{
  "job_id": "93226956",
  "title": "Software Engineer",
  "company": "Lenovo",
  "url": "https://my.jobstreet.com/job/93226956",
  "country": "MY",
  "location": "Bangsar South, Kuala Lumpur",
  "salary_min": 6500,
  "salary_max": 8500,
  "salary_currency": "MYR",
  "salary_period": "monthly",
  "salary_raw": "RM 6,500 – RM 8,500 per month",
  "work_type": "Full time",
  "listing_date": "2026-07-09T08:18:13.000Z",
  "teaser": "Join our engineering team building next-gen laptops...",
  "description_text": "About the role: We are looking for a Software Engineer to join...",
  "description_html": "<p>About the role...</p>",
  "requirements": null,
  "benefits": null,
  "work_arrangement": "On-site",
  "classification": "Engineering - Software (Information & Communication Technology)",
  "sub_classification": null,
  "apply_url": "https://my.jobstreet.com/job/93226956",
  "advertiser_id": "60303580",
  "scraped_at": "2026-07-18T09:12:44.118203+00:00"
}

With fetch_detail: false, only the listing-level fields (job_id through scraped_at, minus the detail-only fields) are returned — faster and cheaper.

Field	Description
job_id, title, company, url	Core identifiers and listing title.
country, location	Which site the job came from and its location label.
salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency, salary_period, salary_raw	Structured salary breakdown parsed from the raw label, plus the original text.
work_type, listing_date, teaser	Employment type, when it was posted, and the short teaser blurb.
description_text, description_html	Full job description (detail fetch only).
work_arrangement, classification, sub_classification	On-site/hybrid/remote and SEEK's classification taxonomy (detail fetch only).
apply_url, advertiser_id	Apply link and the advertiser's SEEK id (detail fetch only).
scraped_at	Capture timestamp.

Do I need a proxy for JobStreet?

No, not for typical use. The SEEK GraphQL endpoint (/graphql) answers directly from a plain datacenter IP — no residential proxy required, unlike the site's own HTML routes (which sit behind a WAF challenge this actor never touches). A proxy is only useful for spreading a very high-volume run's requests across more IPs.

If you do run your own scrapers (inside or outside Apify) and need reliable proxies at scale, we use DataImpulse — pay-as-you-go IPs with per-country targeting and no monthly minimum:

Why this JobStreet scraper

• Six SEA markets, one schema — JobStreet (MY/SG/PH/ID) and JobsDB (TH/HK) normalized into the same flat, CSV-friendly row shape.
• No anti-bot browser tax — the GraphQL vector works from datacenter IPs, so runs are fast and cheap.
• Structured salary, not free text — currency, period, min/max parsed for every SEA currency format (comma- and dot-thousands).
• No official API key needed — JobStreet/JobsDB have no public API; this actor replicates the same GraphQL requests the sites' own frontend makes.
• Open source — the underlying jobstreet-scraper Python package ships a Typer CLI and a FastAPI server; the Apify wrapper is a thin layer.

FAQ

Is this the official JobStreet/JobsDB API? No — neither JobStreet nor JobsDB publish an official public API. This actor scrapes the same public data via the same GraphQL requests the sites' own frontend makes.

Why isn't Vietnam included? jobstreet.vn redirects to Jora, a different SEEK platform with its own vector — out of scope for this actor.

What's the difference between JobStreet and JobsDB? Both are SEEK-owned brands sharing the same underlying platform and GraphQL API — JobStreet serves MY/SG/PH/ID, JobsDB serves TH/HK. This actor treats them identically; only the country you pick determines the brand.

Do I need a proxy? No — see Do I need a proxy for JobStreet.

How is fetch_detail pricing different? With fetch_detail: true, each job bills both a job-result event (the listing) and a job-detail event (the full description) — set it to false if you only need listing-level fields.

Is scraping JobStreet legal? This actor collects only publicly available job-listing data — no personal data beyond what advertisers publish. You are responsible for complying with JobStreet/JobsDB's terms and applicable laws.
