## What's an Apify Actor?
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/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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
### What does SEEK Job Scraper do?
**SEEK Job Scraper** extracts job listings from [SEEK](https://www.seek.co.nz), one of the largest job boards in New Zealand and Australia. It works with **any SEEK country site** — seek.co.nz, seek.com.au, seek.com.sg, seek.co.th, seek.com.ph, seek.com.mx, seek.com.hk, and more. Give it one or more SEEK search or category URLs and it returns structured data for every listing — job title, company, location, salary, posted date, description, and the listing URL.
Because it runs on the Apify platform, you get automatic proxy rotation, scheduling, webhooks, and integrations with tools like Zapier, Make, and Google Sheets — no infrastructure to maintain.
### Why use SEEK Job Scraper?
- **Job market research** — track hiring trends, in-demand roles, and salary ranges across industries and regions.
- **Recruitment and sourcing** — build a feed of new openings matching your criteria without manually browsing SEEK.
- **Lead generation** — identify companies that are actively hiring for staffing agencies or B2B outreach.
- **Competitive intelligence** — monitor how competitors are hiring and what they're paying.
### How to use SEEK Job Scraper
1. Click **Try for free** to open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more SEEK search URLs under **Start URLs** (e.g. a search results page or job category page) — from any SEEK country site.
3. Set **Max jobs per start URL** to control how many listings to scrape from each URL.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your results from the **Dataset** tab, or connect them to your workflow via webhook or integration.
### Input
The Actor accepts the following input fields (see the **Input** tab for the full schema):
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | SEEK search or category URLs to scrape. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of job listings to scrape per start URL. `0` means unlimited. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Uses Apify Proxy by default. |
#### What to put in each field
- **`startUrls`** — Go to SEEK, search or filter for the jobs you want (by keyword, location, category, salary, etc.), then copy the resulting page URL and paste it here. This must be a search-results or category page, e.g. `https://nz.seek.com/Software-Engineer-jobs` or `https://www.seek.com.au/data-scientist-jobs/in-Sydney-NSW-2000`. Do **not** paste a link to a single job listing — the Actor discovers individual jobs itself from the search results. You can add multiple start URLs to scrape several searches (or SEEK country sites) in one run.
- **`maxItems`** — How many job listings you want, counted separately per start URL. For example, `maxItems: 20` with two start URLs returns up to 40 jobs total (up to 20 from each). Leave it at the default for a quick sample run, raise it for a full export, or set it to `0` to scrape every listing the search returns.
- **`proxyConfiguration`** — Leave this on the default setting (Apify Proxy, Residential group). SEEK blocks Apify's shared datacenter proxy pool, so Residential is required for reliable results.
Example input:
```json
{
"startUrls": [{ "url": "https://nz.seek.com/Software-Engineer-jobs" }],
"maxItems": 5,
"proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}
````
### Output
Each scraped job listing is stored as a single item in the dataset. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.
Example output:
```json
{
"title": "Senior Software Engineer",
"company": "Example Company Ltd",
"location": "Auckland",
"salary": "$120,000 - $140,000",
"postedDate": "2026-07-15",
"description": "We are looking for an experienced software engineer...",
"url": "https://www.seek.co.nz/job/12345678"
}
```
#### Data table
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `title` | Job title |
| `company` | Hiring company / advertiser name |
| `location` | Job location |
| `salary` | Salary or pay range, if disclosed |
| `postedDate` | Date the job was posted, converted from SEEK's relative date text |
| `description` | Full job description text |
| `url` | Link to the job listing on SEEK |
### How much does it cost to scrape SEEK data?
This Actor runs on Apify's pay-per-usage pricing based on compute time. A run scraping a few dozen listings typically finishes in a couple of minutes and costs a fraction of a compute unit. Apify's free tier includes monthly platform credits, so light usage can often run at no extra cost. Use **Max jobs per start URL** to control run size and cost.
### Tips and advanced options
- Use narrower SEEK search URLs (e.g. filtered by keyword, location, or category) to scrape more targeted results and reduce run time.
- Lower **Max jobs per start URL** for quick daily monitoring runs; raise it for one-off bulk exports.
- Schedule the Actor on Apify to run daily or weekly and track new listings over time.
### FAQ and disclaimers
This Actor only extracts publicly available job listing data from SEEK. Use it in accordance with SEEK's Terms of Service and applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Website structure changes may occasionally affect scraping — if you notice missing or incorrect data, please report it via the **Issues** tab.

# Actor input Schema
## `startUrls` (type: `array`):
One or more SEEK search-results or job-category page URLs, from any SEEK country site (e.g. seek.co.nz, seek.com.au, seek.com.sg). Copy the URL directly from your browser after applying filters (keyword, location, category) on SEEK — do not paste a single job listing URL here.
## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):
Maximum number of job listings to scrape, counted separately for each start URL. Set to 0 to scrape every listing found.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):
Proxy used to fetch SEEK pages. SEEK blocks Apify's shared datacenter proxy pool, so Residential proxy is used by default.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"startUrls": [
{
"url": "https://nz.seek.com/Software-Engineer-jobs"
}
],
"maxItems": 5,
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": true,
"apifyProxyGroups": [
"RESIDENTIAL"
]
}
}
