📋 What the SEEK Job Scraper does

Two input modes with eight filters:

• 🔍 Keyword search. Search by job title, skills, or keywords (e.g. "software engineer", "data analyst").
• 🔗 URL mode. Paste any SEEK search URL with filters already applied.
• 📍 Location filter. City, state, or region (e.g. "Sydney NSW", "Melbourne VIC", "All Australia").
• 📂 Classification filter. Job category and sub-category IDs from SEEK's taxonomy.
• 🏷️ Work type filter. Full-time, part-time, contract, casual.
• 💰 Salary range filter. Min-max salary (e.g. "50000-80000").
• 📅 Date range filter. Filter by posting recency.
• 📝 Include details toggle. Fetch full descriptions and screening questions from detail pages.

Each job record includes title, company, location, work area, salary range, work type, classification, posting date, listing URL, and (when details enabled) full description, key responsibilities, screening questions, and contact info.

💡 Why it matters: manually browsing SEEK for market intelligence means clicking through pages of results and copying data by hand. This Actor exports structured job data at scale, ready for your recruitment dashboard, salary benchmark, or workforce-planning pipeline.

startUrl	string	""	Direct SEEK search URL. Use this or keyword search, not both.

Example: software engineer jobs in Sydney, $100K+.

{
    "keywords": "software engineer",
    "where": "Sydney NSW",
    "salaryRange": "100000-200000",
    "includeDetails": true,
    "maxItems": 50
}

Example: all contract data analyst jobs in Melbourne.

{
    "keywords": "data analyst",
    "where": "Melbourne VIC",
    "workType": "contract",
    "maxItems": 100
}

⚠️ Good to Know: enabling includeDetails fetches each job's detail page for full descriptions and screening questions. This is slower (1-2 seconds per job) but returns much richer data. Residential proxies are recommended for detail-page fetching.
