Seek JobStreet Jobsdb Scraper — 8 Countries

Scrape job listings from Seek (Australia, New Zealand), JobStreet (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia) and Jobsdb (Hong Kong, Thailand) in one Actor. Every row uses the same flat shape: title, company, structured salary, location, work type, arrangement and the correct public job URL for that market. Optionally pull the full HTML description. Turn on monitoring mode to emit only new or changed listings on a schedule.

No browser, no login, no residential proxy. Results land in an Apify dataset you can export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or pull through the API.

From $1.50 per 1,000 jobs. Full descriptions are an opt-in add-on. See Pricing.

Why one Actor for eight sites

Seek, JobStreet and Jobsdb are the same platform under different brands. Other Store Actors usually cover Seek AU/NZ or JobStreet or Jobsdb. This one takes a list of markets and returns the same fields for each, with the right public URL per brand — so a multi-country talent or lead pipeline is one run, not three Actors and three schemas.

What you get

A search for software engineer on Australia (trimmed):

Field	Example
title	Graduate Software Engineer
companyName	SEEK
salary.label	Be paid $82,000 + super + annual performance bonus
salary.min / max / currency	82000 / 82000 / AUD
salary.period / annualMin	yearly / 82000
locations	Melbourne VIC (AU)
workTypes	Full time
workArrangement	Hybrid
listedAt	2026-09-29T01:40:48Z
url	https://www.seek.com.au/job/94933963

With Include full description on, the same row also carries descriptionHtml, expiresAt, isLinkOut and isVerified.

Markets

Code	Brand	Site
AU	Seek	seek.com.au
NZ	Seek	seek.co.nz
SG	JobStreet	jobstreet.com.sg
MY	JobStreet	my.jobstreet.com
PH	JobStreet	jobstreet.com.ph
ID	JobStreet	jobstreet.co.id
HK	Jobsdb	hk.jobsdb.com
TH	Jobsdb	th.jobsdb.com

What makes this useful

• One schema across eight markets. Filter or join on site / brand without renaming columns per country.
• Structured salary from free text. Seek only publishes a label. The Actor parses min, max, currency and period, and when the period is known also fills annualMin / annualMax (monthly × 12, weekly × 52, and so on). Currency defaults to the market's (AUD, NZD, SGD, …) when the label has $ but no code. Labels with no usable number leave the numeric fields null — the original label is always kept.
• Monitoring mode for schedules. First run emits every match as NEW. Later runs only emit jobs that are new or whose title / listed date changed (UPDATED). State lives in the run's default key-value store, keyed by your search (or by an explicit State key so several schedules stay isolated).
• Cheap to run. Plain HTTP, 512 MB default memory, no residential proxy. Listings are billed only when stored; a failed detail fetch leaves descriptionHtml null and is not charged for the detail event.
• Ready-made Store examples. Open one, press Try for free, change the keywords — see Ready-made examples.

Limits you should know

Seek stops returning results after about 500 hits per query, regardless of page size. Narrow with keywords, location or Listed within rather than raising max pages past 10. Broader keywords will not dump the whole board.

Detail fetches that fail leave descriptionHtml null and are not billed. The run stops cleanly when it reaches your maximum charge.

How to use it

Today's software roles in Australia:

{
  "sites": ["AU"],
  "keywords": "software engineer",
  "dateRange": "1",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Singapore and Malaysia, with full descriptions:

{
  "sites": ["SG", "MY"],
  "keywords": "data analyst",
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Daily monitor for new nursing jobs in Auckland:

{
  "sites": ["NZ"],
  "keywords": "nurse",
  "where": "Auckland",
  "monitoringMode": true,
  "dateRange": "3"
}

Tips

• Keywords are required. Use the same string you would type into the Seek / JobStreet / Jobsdb search box.
• maxItems is across every selected market. Searching AU + NZ with maxItems: 100 returns up to 100 rows in total, not 100 each.
• For alerts, prefer monitoring mode + a short dateRange. That keeps each scheduled run small and only stores what actually changed.
• Set a stateKey if two schedules share similar keywords but different locations, so their monitoring state does not collide.
• Leave proxy configuration alone. The Actor does not need a residential proxy for normal use.

FAQ

Do I need an account on Seek / JobStreet / Jobsdb?
No. The Actor only collects publicly listed jobs. No login and no API key.

Can I search several countries in one run?
Yes. Pass multiple codes in sites, for example ["SG", "MY", "PH"]. Rows share one schema; use site or brand to filter afterward.

Why did I get fewer than maxItems rows?
Seek caps each query at about 500 results, and some keywords simply have fewer listings in the date window you chose. Narrow or broaden keywords, or widen dateRange.

Why is salary.min null when there is a salary label?
Some labels are qualitative (“Competitive”, “Attractive package”) or mix benefits without a clear number. The original salary.label is always kept; numeric fields stay null when nothing reliable can be parsed.

How does monitoring mode decide something changed?
A job is UPDATED when its title or listed date differs from the previous run for the same search state. Unchanged jobs are skipped unless you turn on Also emit unchanged jobs.

Is residential proxy required?
No. Normal runs use plain HTTP on low memory. Leave proxy settings at the default unless you have a specific reason to override them.

How should I use the data?
You are responsible for complying with Seek / JobStreet / Jobsdb terms and applicable laws (including privacy and recruitment rules) for your use case.
