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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Seek.com.au Jobs Scraper — Salary, Company & Full Description Scrape **seek.com.au — Australia's #1 job board** (and seek.co.nz) — any keyword/location search, with filters, or individual job URLs. Every job comes back in one clean schema with title, company, location, salary, classification, work type, the full description, apply link, and dates. Pure HTTP, no browser. ![How it works](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muhamed-didovic/muhamed-didovic.github.io/main/assets/how-it-works-seek.png) ### Why use this scraper - **Any Seek search, filters and all** — paste a `{keyword}-jobs/in-{location}` URL or a `/jobs?keywords=&where=` URL with whatever filters you set (classification, work type, salary range, date posted) and the actor honours them and paginates through every matching result. - **Full job detail** — title, company, location, salary, classification + sub-classification, work type, the complete HTML description (and plain-text), apply link, listing + expiry dates. - **Salary + classification, parsed** — salary range as shown, and the SEEK classification split into parent + sub-classification. - **No browser, no anti-bot fuss** — reads Seek's embedded `SEEK_REDUX_DATA` directly. Fast and cheap. ### Overview Seek embeds its full job data in each page as a JSON island. The actor classifies each URL (search / job), walks search results page by page (~22 per page, `?page=N`), fans out to each job, and normalises everything into a consistent row. Ideal for recruiters, sourcers, market analysts, and job aggregators. ### Supported inputs | Input URL shape | Example | |---|---| | **Keyword/location search** | `seek.com.au/developer-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW` | | **Query search** | `seek.com.au/jobs?keywords=nurse&where=Melbourne` | | **Filtered search** | `…?keywords=marketing&where=Brisbane&worktype=242` (any site filter) | | **Individual job** | `seek.com.au/job/{id}` | > **Tip:** run a search on seek.com.au, then copy the URL from your browser's address bar — the filter parameters drop straight into `startUrls`. seek.co.nz works too. ### Use cases - **Recruiters & sourcers** — pull live roles by keyword, location, classification; build target lists. - **Market analysts** — track salary ranges, demand by classification, posting volumes over time. - **Job boards / aggregators** — ingest Seek listings with full descriptions into your own index. - **Competitor monitoring** — watch which companies are hiring for what, where. ### How it works 1. You provide one or more Seek URLs (search or job). 2. The actor classifies each URL and walks search results with `?page=N` pagination (filters preserved). 3. Each job's `SEEK_REDUX_DATA` is parsed for the full structured record. 4. Rows are normalised to one schema and streamed to your dataset — JSON or CSV. ### Input configuration | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `startUrls` | array | — | seek.com.au / seek.co.nz URLs (search or job) | | `flatten` | boolean | `true` | Flatten arrays for CSV-friendly output | | `maxItems` | integer | `10000` | Hard cap on rows collected | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | `8` | Parallel job fetches | ### Output samples **Flattened (`flatten: true`, default):** ```json { "portal": "seek", "jobId": "92535131", "title": "Junior Software Engineer", "company": "DMA Global", "advertiserId": "39942912", "location": "Sydney NSW", "classification": "Information & Communication Technology", "subClassification": "Engineering - Software", "workType": "Full time", "salaryDisplay": "$50,000 – $70,000 per year", "teaser": "We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer…", "descriptionText": "Junior Software Engineer DMA Global Sydney NSW…", "applyUrl": "https://www.seek.com.au/job/92535131", "isExpired": false, "listingDate": "2026-06-05T02:19:17.024Z", "listingDateLabel": "2d ago", "expiresAt": "2026-07-05T13:59:59.999Z" } ```` ### Key output fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `jobId`, `canonicalUrl`, `shareLink` | Identity | | `title` | Job title | | `company`, `advertiserId`, `advertiserVerified` | Employer | | `location` | e.g. "Sydney NSW" | | `classification`, `subClassification`, `classificationFull` | SEEK category (parent + sub) | | `workType` | Full time / Part time / Contract / Casual | | `salaryDisplay` | Salary as shown (e.g. "$50,000 – $70,000 per year") | | `teaser` | Short summary | | `bulletPoints[]` | Highlight bullets | | `description`, `descriptionText` | Full HTML + plain-text | | `phoneNumber` | Recruiter phone (when present) | | `applyUrl` | Apply / job link | | `isExpired`, `status`, `listingDate`, `listingDateLabel`, `expiresAt` | Status + dates | ### FAQ **Can I scrape a filtered search?** Yes — paste any Seek search URL with its filters (classification, work type, salary, date posted, etc.). They're preserved and paginated automatically. **Does it work for New Zealand?** Yes — seek.co.nz URLs work the same as seek.com.au. **How many jobs per search?** A search returns up to ~22 per page and the actor paginates until `maxItems`. A single query commonly has hundreds to thousands of matches. ### Support Found a bug or need a field added?

Search URLs are paginated and fanned out to individual jobs automatically until `Maximum items` is reached. ## `flatten` (type: `boolean`): When enabled (default), arrays (e.g. `bulletPoints`) are JSON-stringified into `*_json` fields for CSV. Disable to keep the full nested JSON. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on the number of jobs collected. Seek search pages return ~22 results each; use this cap to control billing. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of job pages fetched in parallel. 6-12 is the sweet spot. ## `minConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Minimum number of job pages fetched in parallel. ## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`): Number of retries before a failed request is given up. ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Defaults to Apify Residential with country=AU. Seek serves data cleanly to good fingerprints; AU residential IPs are recommended for large runs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.seek.com.au/developer-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW", "https://www.seek.com.au/nurse-jobs/in-All-Melbourne-VIC", "https://www.seek.com.au/jobs?keywords=marketing&where=Brisbane%20QLD" ], "flatten": true, "maxItems": 10000, "maxConcurrency": 8, "minConcurrency": 1, "maxRequestRetries": 5, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "AU" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
