Seek Jobs Scraper (Australia & New Zealand)

Scrape job offers from Seek Australia (seek.com.au, served today as au.seek.com) and Seek New Zealand (seek.co.nz, served as nz.seek.com). Paste the search results URL your browser shows, filters included, or a job URL, and get one record per job: title, advertiser, location, classification and sub-classification, work type, work arrangement, salary text as shown, listing date, card tags and selling points. Turn on includeDetails to also get the full ad, its status and expiry, the apply type, the employer questions, contacts found in the ad and the company profile, at no extra charge.

What makes it different:

• Every job beyond Seek's 550-result limit. Seek serves at most 550 results per search (page 18 comes back empty, with a total of 0). Bigger searches are split by work type, classification and sub-classification, sorted by date, and the run compares the distinct jobs you got with the total Seek announced. Any gap is reported with both numbers, never hidden.
• One visitor per run. Seek shows different totals and orders to different visitors (measured: 1,098 vs 1,160 jobs for the same search). The run keeps one visitor id from start to end, also after a platform migration.
• Expired jobs are marked, never presented as open; a job id that does not exist gets a clear warning.
• No browser, no residential proxy: Seek's own search and job details APIs, through the Apify datacenter proxy.

What to paste

You paste	Example	What you get
A keyword search	https://www.seek.com.au/nurse-jobs/in-Sydney-NSW-2000	every job of the search, in the site's order
A classification search	https://www.seek.com.au/jobs-in-information-communication-technology/in-Melbourne-VIC-3000/full-time?daterange=7&salaryrange=100000-&salarytype=annual	filters kept exactly as in the URL
A remote / hybrid search	https://www.seek.com.au/data-analyst-jobs/remote	workarrangement filter
A New Zealand search	https://www.seek.co.nz/developer-jobs/in-All-Auckland	NZ jobs, url on nz.seek.com
A job	https://www.seek.com.au/job/95568355	that job with its details (detailsSource: jobPage)

Supported URL parts: /<keywords>-jobs, /jobs, /jobs-in-<classification> (the 30 Seek classifications), /<keywords>-jobs-in-<classification>, /in-<location>, /full-time, /part-time, /contract-temp, /casual-vacation, /remote, /hybrid, and every query parameter of the site (daterange, salaryrange, salarytype, sortmode, classification, subclassification, workarrangement...). page= is ignored: the run starts at page 1. A URL the actor does not understand is rejected with the reason; it is never replaced by a broader search.

No URL? Fill Keyword, Location, Country (AU or NZ) and the optional filters. URLs win over the keyword fields.

Where: same resolution as the website. A free location is searched exactly as Seek's website searches it, for the keyword fields and for pasted /in-<location> URLs alike: a postcode or a state code (3000, Sydney NSW) is kept as typed; a plain place name is looked up once in Seek's own location suggestions and becomes the region the site uses when there is one (Wellington -> All Wellington, Perth -> All Perth WA), otherwise it is kept as typed (Newcastle, Bondi). Measured on 16 places on 2026-10-29: same location and same totals as the website 16/16 (sending the raw text gave a wrong total for 7 of them, down to -20%). A place Seek does not know (Hunter Region) is never replaced by another one: the site shows no job for it, so the URL ends no_results with a LOCATION_UNKNOWN warning. The run summary shows the location searched (whereSearched).

Output

One record per job and run (jobId is the key: a job found by two of your URLs is delivered once). Unknown values are null, never "", 0 or false. Real record, abridged (39 of the 73 fields shown, ad text shortened; search nurse-jobs/in-Sydney-NSW-2000, read on 2026-10-29). Every field is listed in the dataset schema:

Good to know:

• advertiserName is the name the card shows (GWM); companyName is Seek's normalised company name (Great Wall Motors), not shown on the card, null when Seek has none.
• salaryLabel is the salary text exactly as shown ($80,000 – $110,000 per year, Excellent hourly rates!). Seek has no structured salary: no amount is invented.
• classification and subClassification are the first classification (the one the card shows); classifications lists all.
• searchPart is null for jobs from the site's own pages and names the split part (worktype=242&classification=1211) for jobs read beyond the 550 limit; their page/position are those of the part (50 per page).
• With includeDetails off, every detail field is null (or []) and detailsSource is listing.

Run summary

Each run writes a readable Run summary (and the same as JSON in OUTPUT): per start URL, the status, jobs delivered vs jobs announced by Seek, and the reason for anything missing.

Status	Meaning
done	distinct jobs seen + jobs Seek repeated inside one page >= jobs announced, and no page failed, came back empty, only repeated earlier jobs or shrank the total
partial_collection	fewer rows than announced: both numbers and the cause (failed page, empty page before the end, split part too big...); warning PARTIAL_COLLECTION
stopped_at_limit	your maxItems or maximum charge was reached
no_results	Seek announced 0 jobs: the search is empty, the URL is wrong or the site is down (NO_RESULTS warning)
no_new_jobs	every job of this URL was already delivered by an earlier URL
job_not_available	a pasted job id does not exist on Seek (Seek answers "no job" without error); no job charged
location_not_resolved	Seek's location suggestions could not be read and nothing was found; never reported as an empty search
blocked_by_site, network_error, http_error	Seek refused or did not answer even after new IPs — never reported as an empty search

Seek's total counts listing rows, and a page of its listing can show the same job twice (measured twice, always inside one page: 41 rows, 39 distinct jobs). Only those repeats inside one page of the site's own listing are counted: the summary says "41 listed by Seek, 39 distinct (2 repeated by Seek)" and gives siteDuplicates, and the run can be done. A job seen again on a later page (the listing moved while it was read) or inside a split part is never counted as a repeat: any gap stays visible as partial_collection. If more than 10% of the rows are repeats, SITE_DUPLICATES warns that this is unusual. Codes starting with ANO_ (ANO_ACCES, ANO_CHAMP_VIDE, ANO_ERREUR_INTERNE...) come from the shared run checks: access verdicts, a field suddenly empty, an internal error.

A run where no URL delivers anything fails with the exact cause. Warnings (PARTIAL_COLLECTION, UNEXPECTED_DATA, JOBS_SKIPPED, JOB_EXPIRED, DETAILS_NOT_READ, DETAILS_STOPPED, LOCATION_INTERPRETED, DELIVERED_OUTSIDE_LOCATION...) are listed under Checks; "Checks passed" is shown only when there is none.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.60 per 1,000 jobs ($0.0006 per job delivered), details included: the same price with or without includeDetails, and for a pasted job URL. Plus a $0.005 start fee per run (charged by Apify once per GB of memory; the default is 1 GB). Apify subscribers pay less automatically, on every event: 10% off on the Bronze plan, 20% on Silver, 30% on Gold and above.

Jobs	Price (with or without details, start fee included)
20	$0.017
1,000	$0.605

Only jobs written to your dataset are paid. Your maximum charge per run is respected: the run stops cleanly before the job that would exceed it, and no job details are read for a job that could not be paid.

Known limits

• Keyword searches are semantic on Seek: beyond 550 jobs, the split parts may not add up to the announced total (measured 1,150 of 1,160 for nurse jobs in Sydney). The run then ends partial_collection with both numbers. Searches without keyword split exactly (measured 1,003 of 1,003 for Hobart).
• A split part that still holds more than 550 jobs with the same work type, classification and sub-classification can only be read to 550; the gap is reported. Sub-classifications are taken from the jobs read in their classification.
• If Seek's location suggestions cannot be read (new IPs, then a last try after a pause), the location is searched as typed: the URL ends partial_collection (or location_not_resolved if nothing was found), never done, with LOCATION_UNRESOLVED; a resumed run tries the suggestions again. If it then finds Seek's region and some jobs delivered before (searched as typed) are not in that region's search, they stay in your dataset and are counted apart, with a DELIVERED_OUTSIDE_LOCATION warning (deliveredOutsideLocation in the summary). This warning is only given when the region's search was read in full; otherwise the summary only says those jobs could not be checked against it.
• postedAtLabel ("17h ago") is relative to the reading time. Featured ads, multiple locations and multiple work types per job were never seen on 2026-10-29: delivered as Seek sends them.
• Not available without a Seek account: number of applicants. Not provided: estimated salary, parsed salary amounts.
• Several work types or arrangements in the keyword fields are sent comma-separated (not measured on the site).
• Default run timeout: 4 hours (about 0.6 s per job with details on Apify: some 20,000 jobs); raise it for larger searches.
