## 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

**Scrape Seek job listings from Australia and New Zealand in minutes** — job title, company, salary, location, work type, full job description, and the **recruiter emails and phone numbers** written in the ad.

### What does Seek Jobs Scraper do?

Seek Jobs Scraper collects job ads from [Seek](https://www.seek.com.au), the largest job board in Australia and New Zealand. Search by keyword and location, filter by work type, remote roles and posting date, and get a clean dataset with every listing's **title, company, salary, location, region, work type, work arrangement (on-site/hybrid/remote), category, listing date** and, optionally, the **full description, contact emails, phone, salary currency and expiry date**.

Because it runs on Apify, you can schedule it daily, call it through the API, and send results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make or your database.

### Why use Seek Jobs Scraper?

- **Recruitment agencies** — find companies hiring right now and reach the hiring contact from the ad.
- **Job market research** — track demand, salaries and work arrangements by role, city and industry.
- **Job boards and aggregators** — keep your listings fresh with new Seek jobs every day.
- **Sales prospecting** — companies that are hiring are companies that are growing and buying.
- **Career tools** — power alerts and dashboards for job seekers.

### How to scrape Seek jobs

1. Click **Try for free**.
2. Enter one or more **Keywords** (for example `python developer`, `registered nurse`).

4. Optionally add filters: work types, posted within, remote only.
5. Click **Start** and download your jobs as CSV, Excel or JSON.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Job titles, skills or companies. Empty = all jobs in the location. |
| `country` | `AU` or `NZ`. |
| `location` | City, region or suburb. Empty = whole country. |
| `maxJobs` | Max jobs per keyword (0 = all). |
| `includeDetails` | Adds full description, emails, phone, expiry date. |
| `workTypes`, `postedWithinDays`, `remoteOnly`, `sortBy` | Filters and ordering. |

### Output

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

    "jobId": "94478118",
    "title": "Senior Full Stack Developer",
    "company": "HammondCare",
    "location": "Sydney NSW",
    "region": "New South Wales NSW",
    "country": "AU",
    "workType": "Full time",
    "workArrangement": "Hybrid",
    "salary": "$140,000 – $160,000 + super",
    "classification": "Information & Communication Technology",
    "subClassification": "Developers/Programmers",
    "listedAt": "2026-10-05T05:37:52Z",

    "phone": null,
    "expiresAt": "2026-11-04T13:20:47Z",
    "description": "About us\nHammondCare provides…",
    "jobUrl": "https://www.seek.com.au/job/94478118"
}
```

### Data fields

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `title`, `company`, `advertiser`, `logoUrl` | Job and employer |
| `location`, `region`, `country` | Where the job is |
| `salary`, `workType`, `workArrangement` | Pay and conditions |
| `classification`, `subClassification` | Seek category |
| `emails`, `phone` | Contacts found in the ad |
| `description`, `teaser`, `bulletPoints` | Ad content |
| `listedAt`, `expiresAt` | Dates |

Built-in views: **Jobs**, **Contacts** and **Details**.

### How many results will I get?

One row per unique job. Each keyword returns up to `maxJobs` jobs; popular searches have thousands. Jobs that appear under several of your keywords are saved once.

### Tips

- Turn off **Include full job details** for the fastest runs when you only need titles, companies and locations.
- Use **Posted within: Last 24 hours** with a daily schedule to receive only new jobs.
- Combine several related keywords in one run — duplicates are removed for you.

### FAQ

**Which countries are supported?** Australia and New Zealand.

**Is it legal?** The Actor collects publicly listed job ads. Use contact details in line with privacy and anti-spam laws (Australian Privacy Act, Spam Act, GDPR).

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,maged120/seek-jobs-scraper"

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
