Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Seek Jobs Search Scraper Extract job listings from SEEK - Australia and New Zealand's leading job platform. Collect job titles, companies, locations, and descriptions from APAC markets. ### Features - **Keyword search** — find jobs by keyword, search term, or role - **Location filtering** — narrow results to specific cities, regions, or countries ### Use Cases - **Australian and New Zealand job market intelligence** — track hiring demand, skill trends, and industry movements across AU and NZ - **Southeast Asian recruitment analysis** — monitor job postings across SEEK's expanding SEA footprint - **Cross-border hiring in APAC** — analyze remote and hybrid roles available across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia - **Regional salary benchmarking** — collect compensation data for roles across different APAC markets ### Sample Input ```json { "mode": "search", "keywords": "software engineer", "location": "Sydney NSW", "country": "au", "jobType": "full-time", "maxJobs": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "AU" } } ```` ### Sample Output ```json { "title": "Senior Software Engineer", "company": "Atlassian", "location": "Sydney NSW", "country": "au", "jobType": "Full Time", "jobUrl": "https://www.seek.com.au/job/12345678", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-20T10:00:00.000Z", "description": "We are looking for a senior software engineer to join our platform team...", "jobId": "12345678", "companyUrl": "https://www.seek.com.au/company/atlassian", "logoUrl": "https://www.seek.com.au/logo/atlassian.png", "salary": "$180,000 - $220,000", "workTypes": "fulltime", "workArrangements": "hybrid", "listedAt": "2026-06-15T08:00:00.000Z", "isVerified": true } ``` ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Required | Description | |-------|------|---------|----------|-------------| | `searchTerm` | string | `software engineer` | | Job title or keyword to search for. | | `keywords` | string | — | | Alternative search keywords. | | `location` | string | `Sydney NSW` | | City or region to search in (e.g. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane).
