SEEK Jobs Scraper

Stop re-checking SEEK by hand: get only the new jobs for your searches every morning — in a sheet, Slack or your own job board. Search SEEK (Australia and New Zealand) by keyword, location or a pasted search URL and get every matching job as clean JSON with the salary split into min / max / interval; schedule it and each run marks which jobs are new since your last run.

How "new since last run" works

The Actor remembers which jobs each search returned last time. A job it has not seen before is marked isNewSinceLastRun: true. SEEK returns jobs newest first, so a daily run with Max jobs above a day's volume catches every new listing. If the whole search fits within Max jobs, the comparison is exact and jobs that disappeared come back as type: "closed" rows. If the search is bigger than Max jobs, a job only counts as new when it was also posted after your previous run — so an old job that merely moved into view is never reported as new.

Filters (title, location text, salary, remote) never change the comparison, so changing a filter never makes jobs look new.

What you get

Field
title, company, location, locations	as listed
classification, subClassification	the site's job category
workType, workArrangement, remote	full time / contract…, on-site / hybrid / remote
salaryText	the salary exactly as shown
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryInterval	read from that text — null when it has no number (e.g. "Competitive"), never guessed
description	the full job text, HTML stripped (turn off with Include the full description)
teaser, bulletPoints	the summary the employer wrote for the search page
postedAt, isFeatured	listing date, and whether it is a paid featured ad
isNewSinceLastRun	true / false, or null on the first run (unknown, not "old")
jobUrl	link to the job on SEEK
search, country	which of your searches returned it

Input

Put one search per line in Searches (e.g. data analyst) and optionally a Location (e.g. Sydney NSW). Pick one or more Countries. SEEK shows at most the newest ~500 jobs of any one search, so split very broad searches by location or use Posted within. Or set the filters on the site and paste the result page into Search URLs (e.g. https://www.seek.com.au/accountant-jobs/in-Sydney-NSW-2000?worktype=242) — every filter the site has then applies. Many searches in one run are cheaper than one run each.

A search the site refuses comes back as an error row and the run carries on.

Example output

One real row from a test run (long text shortened here with …).

Get only the new jobs every morning (3 steps)

1. Open this Actor in Apify Console, fill in your searches, set What to return to Only jobs that are new since the last run, and click Save as a new task.
2. On the task, add a Schedule — for example daily at 07:00.
3. Open the task's Integrations tab and connect Slack, email, Google Sheets (or Zapier / Make / a webhook). Each morning you get only the new jobs.

You pay only for the new jobs plus $0.01 per run, so a quiet day costs about a cent. When you export by hand, pick the Jobs view: 13 tidy columns, title first, instead of every raw field.

Pricing

$1 per 1,000 jobs, plus $0.01 per run. Closed-job rows and errors are free. With Only jobs that are new since the last run, a daily schedule only pays for the new ones.

For AI agents

For a fast answer call with {"searches": ["data analyst"], "countries": ["AU"], "maxJobsPerSearch": 20, "includeDescription": false} — a few seconds. The defaults (up to 200 jobs with full descriptions) can take about a minute, which is longer than many agent tool timeouts. Each row has type: job, closed or error. isNewSinceLastRun: null means "no previous run to compare with".
