Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## SEEK Jobs Scraper – Australia & New Zealand

Scrape **SEEK** – the #1 job board in **Australia** and **New Zealand** – by keyword and location, or paste any SEEK search URL. Every job comes in one clean format: title, company, location (suburb, city, state), **salary** (parsed into numbers where SEEK shows it), **work type** (full time, part time, contract, casual), **remote / hybrid / on-site**, classification, posting date, teaser and bullet points. No account, no cookies, no API key.

**Why this SEEK scraper**

- ⚡ **Fast and reliable** – reads SEEK's own search data: 100 jobs per request, up to 3,000 jobs per search in seconds.
- 💰 **Salaries parsed** – `salaryText` as shown on SEEK plus `salaryMin/Max`, `salaryPeriod` (hour / year) and a yearly amount in EUR for comparisons.
- 🏷️ **Classification & sub-classification** – e.g. *Healthcare & Medical / Nursing – Aged Care*.
- 🏠 **Work arrangement** – remote, hybrid or on-site, plus work type.
- 🔗 **LinkedIn too (optional)** – add LinkedIn and get both boards in one dataset, duplicates merged.
- 🔔 **New-job alerts** – turn on *Only new jobs*, schedule it, and each run returns only jobs that appeared since the last run (not charged again).
- 🧠 **Enriched** – seniority, department group and 65+ skills detected for every job.
- 🤖 **AI-agent ready** through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com).

### How to use

1. Type **job titles / keywords** and **locations** (e.g. `Sydney`, `Brisbane QLD`, `Auckland`).
2. Pick **Australia** or **New Zealand** and optional filters: posted within, work type, remote / hybrid.
3. Run and export to **Excel, CSV, JSON, Google Sheets**, or connect **Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack**.

### FAQ

**Full job descriptions?** SEEK protects single job pages, so this actor returns the search data (teaser, bullet points, salary, classification). Full descriptions may come in a later version.

**Is it legal?** The actor collects publicly visible job postings. Make sure your use complies with applicable laws and SEEK's terms.
