SEEK Jobs Scraper: Every Job, Counted

Get every job a SEEK search lists in Australia or New Zealand, checked against SEEK's own count for that search, and each job with its full description, salary, applicant count, work type, classification, expiry date, screening questions and the hiring company's profile (industry, size, website, rating and reviews). One row per job. No SEEK account or cookies needed.

Tested daily. Latest check: 25 of 25 python developer jobs in All Adelaide SA, matching SEEK's count; 973 jobs from three searches in Australia and New Zealand, two of them read whole (459 of 459).

What does this Actor do?

You give it keywords and a place, or links to SEEK job searches. For each search it reads SEEK's results and then each job's details, and saves one row per job, until it reaches your limit or the search has no more jobs. When the search has a count (up to 500 jobs), the run's final status tells you whether every job was read: "Saved 25 jobs from 1 search. That is every job the site lists for the search (25 of 25)."

SEEK repeats a few promoted jobs at the top of every results page, and its headline number counts those repeats. This Actor saves each job once and checks the search against the number of distinct jobs.

Each job comes with:

• its title, link, teaser, summary and the full description, as text and as HTML
• the date it was listed, when it expires, and whether it has expired
• the salary, when the job shows one
• work type (full time, part time, contract, casual) and work arrangement (on-site, hybrid, remote)
• SEEK's classification and subclassification, with their ids
• the place: suburb, city, state, postcode and country
• the advertiser, whether SEEK verified it and since when it advertises on SEEK
• the hiring company's SEEK profile, when it has one: industry, size, website, description, rating, number of reviews and perks
• the screening questions the employer asks applicants, when there are any
• the job's selling points, tags ("Expiring soon"), logo, cover image and video
• phone numbers the ad lists, when it lists any
• how many people applied and SEEK's application volume label, when SEEK shows them
• whether you apply on SEEK or on the employer's own site
• the search it was found in, and how many jobs SEEK counted for it

Why use it?

• Know you have the whole search. For a search of up to 500 jobs the run checks what it read against SEEK's own count, so a short read is never silent.
• The company comes with the job. Industry, size, website, rating and review count are on the row when the company has a SEEK profile.
• Track a job market. Run it daily with "Today" and "Newest first", and collect each day's new jobs in Australia or New Zealand.
• Use the data anywhere. Download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send it to your own tools through Apify's API and integrations.

How to use it

1. Pick the Country, then type one or more Keywords and a Location, or paste Search links, or both.
2. Optionally, choose Classifications, Work types, Work arrangements, Date listed, a Salary range, Sort by and Max jobs per search.
3. Click Start. When the run ends, open the Output tab to view the jobs or download them.

Run it with no input to see a sample: up to 100 "python developer" jobs in Adelaide, charged as usual.

Links that work

A SEEK job search on seek.com.au or seek.co.nz, such as https://www.seek.com.au/data-engineer-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW?daterange=7 or https://www.seek.co.nz/jobs?keywords=nurse&where=All%20Auckland. Its keywords, place, classification, subclassification, work type, work arrangement, date listed, salary and sort filters are used. Links on au.seek.com and nz.seek.com work too. A classification written in the link's path (/jobs-in-information-communication-technology) is not read: pick it under Classifications instead. Other SEEK pages (a single job, a company) and other sites stop the run before anything is read, naming the link.

Input

Field	What it does	Default
Country (market)	AU (seek.com.au) or NZ (seek.co.nz), for the keywords	AU

How much does it cost?

No surcharges and no paid options; an item that fails is not charged.

You pay for what you get:

• $1 per 1,000 jobs ($0.001 a job). Each job is charged once per run, even when two of your searches list it.
• No start fee, and nothing per search.

So a search that lists 400 jobs costs $0.40. If you set a maximum cost for a run, the Actor stops when it reaches it and keeps every job saved so far.

How long does a run take?

About 25 jobs in 15 to 25 seconds; 973 jobs from three searches in 6 to 10 minutes.

Good to know

• At most 550 jobs per search. That is what SEEK lists for one search. For more, split it: several cities instead of a whole state, or "Today" every day. A search of more than 500 jobs is read to SEEK's limit and is not checked against the count.
• SEEK decides what matches. Its count includes jobs that only loosely match a keyword; the Actor returns what SEEK lists.
• Counts move. SEEK's count for a busy search changes while it is read, so a search can read a job or two short of it. The final status says so, by search.
• One job, one row. A job found again in the same run, under the same or another search, is saved and charged once. It still counts toward each search that lists it, so every search is checked against its own count.
• A job taken down mid-run keeps the fields the results showed (title, company, place, salary, teaser) and has details_read set to false.
• A search that cannot be read is reported in the run's status; the other searches carry on. The run fails only when none could be read.
• Running it daily? Remove repeats by job_id.

FAQ

Do I need a SEEK account or cookies? No. The Actor reads what anyone can see on SEEK without signing in.

Does it cover other SEEK sites (Jobstreet, JobsDB)? Not yet: Australia and New Zealand only.

Can I run it from my own code, on a schedule, or with other apps? Yes. Like any Apify Actor, you can start it through the Apify API, run it on a schedule, and connect it to other apps with Apify's integrations and webhooks.

Is it legal to scrape SEEK?

This Actor reads only public job ads. An ad can name a recruiter or list a phone number; treat those as personal data. Check SEEK's terms and the laws that apply to you (such as the Australian Privacy Act or the GDPR) before you use the data. If you are unsure, ask a lawyer.
