✨ What this Actor does / Key features

• 🌏 Two countries, one Actor — flip a single country input between Australia (seek.com.au) and New Zealand (seek.co.nz); the same structured fields come back for both.
• 🔎 Multi-keyword search — pass a list of job queries (e.g. registered nurse, software engineer) and each one runs as its own search, so you cover several roles in a single run.
• 📍 Location targeting — narrow to any city, state or region (Sydney, Melbourne VIC, Auckland) or leave it empty to browse a whole country.
• 💰 Advertised salary capture — pulls the salary label exactly as SEEK displays it (when present), ready for compensation benchmarking.
• 🏢 Company & classification data — every row carries the hiring company name and SEEK's own industry classification for clean segmentation.
• 🕒 Freshness signal — the posted-date display lets you filter for brand-new vacancies or track daily hiring velocity.
• 🔗 Direct listing URLs — each record links straight to the original SEEK ad for one-click verification or apply.
• ⚡ Scales to thousands — combine multiple keywords and locations in one run to blow past SEEK's per-query ceiling.
• 🛡️ Proxy support — Apify Proxy integration; residential + the target country is preconfigured (SEEK requires it) to keep runs clean.

🚀 Quick start (3 steps)

1. Configure — add one or more keywords (or leave empty to browse everything), set a location, and pick AU or NZ.
2. Run — click Start. The Actor paginates the SEEK search results for each keyword and streams jobs into your dataset.
3. Get your data — open the Output tab and export to JSON, CSV, JSONL, Excel or XML, or pull it via the Apify API.

📥 Input

You don't need a single required field — run it empty to browse a whole country, or narrow with keywords and a location. Everything is optional.

Example — tech roles in Sydney, Australia

{
  "keywords": ["software engineer", "data analyst"],
  "location": "Sydney",
  "country": "AU",
  "maxResults": 500
}

Example — healthcare hiring across New Zealand

{
  "keywords": ["registered nurse", "aged care"],
  "location": "Auckland",
  "country": "NZ",
  "maxResults": 1000
}

Example — browse everything in a state (recruitment sourcing)

{
  "keywords": [],
  "location": "Melbourne VIC",
  "country": "AU",
  "maxResults": 2000
}

Field	Type	Description
keywords	array	One or more job queries (e.g. developer, registered nurse). Each runs as its own SEEK search. Leave empty to browse all jobs for the location.
location	string	City, state or region as SEEK expects it (Sydney, Melbourne VIC, Auckland). Empty = nationwide.
country	string	AU for seek.com.au or NZ for seek.co.nz.
maxResults	integer	Total cap across all keyword searches in the run.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings. Residential + the target country is required by SEEK and preconfigured by default.

Tip — reaching more jobs: SEEK returns ~20 results per page and caps a single query near 1,000 results. To go deeper, split a broad search into several narrower keywords and locations in one run and raise maxResults.

📤 Output

One row per job — a clean flat record, exportable to JSON, CSV, JSONL, Excel or XML. Here is a sample:

{
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
  "company": "Atlassian",
  "location": "Sydney NSW",
  "salary": "$140,000 – $170,000 per year",
  "classification": "Information & Communication Technology",
  "workType": "Full Time",
  "listingDateDisplay": "2d ago",
  "url": "https://www.seek.com.au/job/74812345"
}

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape SEEK? The Actor only collects publicly available job listing data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with SEEK's terms and applicable laws.

Does SEEK have a public API? SEEK does not offer an open public jobs API, so this Actor reads SEEK's public search results and returns structured job data instead — no API key needed.

Do I need a SEEK account or login? No. There is no SEEK account, login or API key required — only an Apify account. The Actor reads public SEEK search results.

Do I need a proxy? Yes. SEEK requires a residential proxy in the target country, which is preconfigured by default so runs work out of the box.

Can I scrape both Australia and New Zealand? Yes. Use the country input to choose seek.com.au (AU) or seek.co.nz (NZ). Run the Actor once per country to cover both.

How many jobs can I collect? SEEK returns ~20 results per page and caps a single query near 1,000 results. To collect more, combine several keywords and locations in one run and raise maxResults.

Is this a seek.com.au API alternative?

Yes. SEEK has no public jobs API, so this Actor works as an unofficial seek.com.au API alternative — it reads public search results and hands you a structured job dataset you can pull via the Apify API.

Can I scrape SEEK jobs without login?

Yes. This is a no-login job data extraction tool — it only reads public SEEK listings. A residential proxy in the target country is required and preconfigured by default.

How do I export SEEK job listings to a CSV or JSON dataset?

Run the Actor with your keywords and location, then download the resulting dataset as CSV, JSON, JSONL, Excel or XML from the Apify console, or fetch the JSON through the Apify API.

How do I scrape software developer jobs in Sydney from SEEK?

Add developer to keywords and set location to Sydney, and the Actor returns each SEEK listing with title, company, salary, work type and a direct link.

How do I collect New Zealand jobs from seek.co.nz?

Set country to NZ and the scraper reads seek.co.nz instead of seek.com.au, returning the same structured job fields for any New Zealand location.

How do I benchmark advertised salaries by role on SEEK?

Search a role across a location and each row includes the salary label SEEK shows, so you can build a compensation benchmark dataset in CSV or Excel.

⚖️ Legal

This Actor extracts only publicly available data and is intended for legitimate recruitment, research and analytics use. You are responsible for complying with SEEK's terms of service and any applicable local laws.

This Actor is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SEEK; SEEK and all other trademarks mentioned here are the property of their respective owners.

How much SEEK data can you extract in one run?

A single run returned 500 job ads in 176 seconds on the example input. That is roughly 170 job ads a minute. Widen the search — more queries, more pages, a broader location — and the same run goes deeper.

There is no hard ceiling built into this Actor. What bounds a run is the result limit you set, the breadth of the input you give it, and how much SEEK itself publishes. Because billing is per result, a wider run costs proportionally more and a narrow one costs almost nothing — so it is worth starting small and scaling once the output looks right.

📝 Changelog

2026-11-01

• Monthly health check (2026-11-01): a live run on the current build completed successfully and returned data. Input options, output fields and pricing are unchanged.
• README refreshed: 1 link to renamed Actors updated, 1 link to retired Actors removed; independence disclaimer added; documented 15 additional output fields.

2026-10-15

• Every request now has a hard time limit, so a proxy connection that stalls can no longer hold up the run or push it past its timeout.
• A run that reaches its maximum cost per run now stops cleanly with its results saved and a status message, instead of ending as aborted.
• A proxy group your account cannot use no longer stops the run at start-up; it falls back to the default Apify Proxy.
• Runs with a short timeout (API and AI-agent calls) now finish inside it with what they collected, instead of being cut off.
• Memory is managed within the run's own limit, which removes a rare out-of-memory crash on large pages.
• The default used when the field is left out for maxResults is now 3,409 (was 200).

2026-09-23

• Fleet-wide quality audit. Verified end to end against live data and re-checked the input schema, the output columns and the run configuration.

2026-09-01

• Fleet-wide health check. Verified against this Actor's real run history: 30-day success rate, output row counts, per-field fill rates, and peak memory against the configured memory limit.
• Reviewed for the failure patterns that have cost this fleet runs — unguarded proxy setup, retry loops that can outlast the run's own time budget, and full-page HTML parsing that can exhaust a small container.
• No change to input, output fields or scraping logic.

2026-08-11

• Maintenance release: refreshed the build and dependencies.
