## 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 **seek.com.au** and **seek.co.nz** by keyword, city, work type, remote and listed date. Each job has its **title, company, location, salary range, work arrangement, listed date** and **job URL**, plus SEEK's teaser and up to three bullet points, but not the full ad. **No login, no cookies, no API keys**, and not affiliated with SEEK.

**Price: $0.90 per 1,000 jobs.** Failed searches and error rows are free, and a job that two searches return is charged once. Apify's free plan ($5 monthly credit) covers about 5,500 jobs a month.

### Questions it answers

- Which jobs were listed on SEEK today for a role, and which of them show a salary?
- How many remote or hybrid roles are open for a skill in one city?
- Which companies are hiring for a keyword, and in which suburbs?
- What pay ranges do SEEK listings advertise for a role in Australia or New Zealand?

### Who uses this

### Why this SEEK Jobs Scraper

### How to use the SEEK Jobs Scraper

1. Click **Try for free** (a free Apify account is enough).
2. Enter keywords such as `data analyst`, or paste a SEEK search link, one per line.
3. Optional: choose the SEEK site, a city or state, work types, a listed-within window or remote roles only.
4. Click **Start**, then download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or schedule it for a daily feed.

### Input

| Field | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `searches` | – | SEEK keywords or SEEK search links, one per line. Required. |
| `country` | `AU` | SEEK site for keyword searches: `AU` (seek.com.au) or `NZ` (seek.co.nz). Pasted links use their own site. |
| `location` | – | City or state for keyword searches, e.g. `Sydney NSW`. Empty means the whole country. |
| `workType` | – | Only these work types: `full-time`, `part-time`, `contract` or `casual`. Empty means all. |
| `postedWithinDays` | – | Only jobs listed in the last 1, 3, 7, 14 or 31 days. |
| `remoteOnly` | `false` | Only roles SEEK marks as remote. |
| `maxItems` | 100 | Jobs per search (max 5,000). |

Example (the input behind the output below):

```json
{ "searches": ["data analyst", "nurse"], "location": "Melbourne VIC", "maxItems": 20 }
```

### Output

One row per job. A real row from that run:

```json
{
  "jobId": "95140566",
  "url": "https://www.seek.com.au/job/95140566",
  "title": "Registered Nurse / Enrolled Nurse  – Lymphatic Drainage & Oedema Management",
  "company": "Ontime Healthcare Nursing Agency",
  "advertiserId": "35820695",
  "location": "Cheltenham, Melbourne VIC",
  "state": "VIC",
  "country": "AU",
  "salaryText": "$47 – $50 per hour",
  "salaryMin": 47,
  "salaryMax": 50,
  "salaryPeriod": "hour",
  "listedAt": "2026-10-08T06:01:38Z",
  "workTypes": ["Casual/Vacation"],
  "workArrangement": "On-site",
  "isRemote": false,
  "classification": "Healthcare & Medical",
  "subClassification": "Nursing - General Medical & Surgical",
  "teaser": "Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse to provide care for a client requiring lymphatic drainage massage to assist with the management of oedema.",
  "bulletPoints": [
    "Competitive pay rates + travel reimbursement",
    "Weekly pay with easy mobile app shift management",
    "Trusted Victorian boutique agency with 25+ years’ experience"
  ],
  "logoUrl": "https://bx-branding-gateway.cloud.seek.com.au/4f7ca6e3-b0fd-4c03-a740-7780eb98f842.1/jdpLogo",
  "isPromoted": false,
  "searchQuery": "nurse"
}
```

- `teaser` and `bulletPoints` are SEEK's own search-result summary, not the full ad.
- `salaryMin`, `salaryMax` and `salaryPeriod` come from `salaryText` when SEEK shows an amount. Many listings show no salary, and some wording leaves `salaryPeriod` empty.
- `searchQuery` is the search a job came from. A failed search adds one row with an `error` field and no charge.

### Example tasks

Ready-made inputs you can open, change and run:

- [Find remote software engineer jobs in Australia](https://apify.com/redfoxscout/seek-jobs-scraper/examples/seek-remote-software-engineer-jobs-australia)

### How much does it cost?

$0.90 per 1,000 jobs.

- 100 jobs: about $0.09
- 10,000 jobs: about $9.00
- Failed searches and error rows: free. A job that two searches return is charged once.

Apify's free plan gives $5 of credit every month, enough for about 5,500 jobs.

### FAQ

**Is this legal?** The Actor reads job listings that SEEK shows to any visitor without logging in. It does not log in, use cookies or accounts, solve CAPTCHAs, or collect personal details of applicants or recruiters. This is not legal advice, so check the terms and rules that apply to how you use the data.

**Why no full job description?** SEEK's search results include only a teaser and up to three bullet points. The full ad is on a job page that SEEK protects with a bot check. This Actor does not open job pages or try to get past that check, so it returns the summary only. For full descriptions from another job board, see LinkedIn Jobs Scraper below.

**How many jobs can one search return?** SEEK returns at most 550 results per search for a given set of filters. A search with no work type or remote filter is split by work type and work arrangement, so it can return more than 550, up to the `maxItems` you set (max 5,000). With a work type or remote filter set, the 550 limit applies, so narrow the search by city or listed date instead.
