What data can you extract?

Every job listing returns up to 40 fields organized into these categories:

Job details title, id, teaser, description_full (plain text), description_html (original HTML), classifications (formatted array), classification, sub_classification, work_type, work_arrangement, bullet_points, is_featured, job_status (online/expired), content_hash (MD5 for change detection), listing_date

How to use

1. Search URLs (recommended)

Go to the job site for your country, search by keywords, location and posting date, and paste the URL. Other filters in the URL (salary, work type, classification) are not applied. The country is auto-detected from the domain -- no need to set the country dropdown separately.

Australia example:

{
  "searchUrls": ["https://au.seek.com/registered-nurse-jobs-in-Sydney"],
  "maxResults": 50
}

New Zealand example:

{
  "searchUrls": ["https://nz.seek.com/data-analyst-jobs-in-Auckland"],
  "maxResults": 100
}

Singapore example:

{
  "searchUrls": ["https://sg.jobstreet.com/python-developer-jobs"],
  "maxResults": 100
}

2. Search Keywords

Enter one or more keywords. The scraper searches the selected country and returns matching jobs.

{
  "country": "my",
  "searchQueries": ["python developer", "data engineer"],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 100
}

3. Country selector

Pick a country from the dropdown and leave all other fields empty for a broad search of all jobs in that country.

{
  "country": "hk",
  "maxResults": 200
}

Mixing URLs from different countries

You can paste URLs from multiple countries in a single run. The scraper auto-detects the country from each URL domain.

{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://au.seek.com/react-jobs-in-Sydney",
    "https://sg.jobstreet.com/react-jobs",
    "https://hk.jobsdb.com/react-jobs"
  ],
  "maxResults": 200
}

4. Direct Job URLs (alive checks)

Paste individual job page URLs to check if they're still active and get the full job data. You get exactly one row per unique job (URL forms www.seek.com.au, au.seek.com, www.seek.co.nz, nz.seek.com, with or without query strings, are all accepted and de-duplicated by job id). Each row has the same fields as a search row (title, company, location, classification, work type, work arrangement, salary, teaser, listing date, country, ...) plus the full description, contact details and employer questions. job_status is online, expired (the ad was closed; metadata and description are still returned when Seek keeps them, a job id Seek no longer knows returns title [Expired/Not Found]) or unknown (the lookup failed, so nothing is claimed about the ad; these rows are not charged).

When you pass only directUrls the actor runs no search. maxResults and maxResultsPerQuery apply to search results only: every direct URL is always processed, and includeJobDetails does not affect direct URLs (they are always fully enriched). Each returned direct row is charged like a search row (job-result).

{
  "directUrls": [
    "https://www.seek.com.au/job/91878509",
    "https://www.seek.com.au/job/50000000"
  ]
}

Perfect for monitoring job listings and detecting when positions are filled.

URL filters

The actor reads these parts of a pasted search URL: the keywords (from keywords= or the /python-developer-jobs path), the location (where= or the -jobs-in-Sydney path) and the date range. Every other URL parameter (salary range, work type, work arrangement, classification, sort) is ignored; use the sortBy input to choose the order.

Filter	Parameter	Example
Keywords	keywords=python or /python-jobs	Python jobs
Location	where=Sydney or /python-jobs-in-Sydney	City filter
Date range	daterange=1/3/7/14/31	Last 24h / 3d / 7d / 14d / 31d

Each country is searched in its own market: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines on JobStreet, Hong Kong and Thailand on JobsDB, with salaries in the local currency (SGD, MYR, IDR, PHP, HKD, THB).

Search URL examples by country:

{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://au.seek.com/javascript-jobs?daterange=14",
    "https://nz.seek.com/developer-jobs?daterange=7",
    "https://sg.jobstreet.com/engineer-jobs?daterange=14",
    "https://hk.jobsdb.com/developer-jobs?daterange=7",
    "https://my.jobstreet.com/marketing-jobs",
    "https://id.jobstreet.com/engineer-jobs?daterange=31",
    "https://ph.jobstreet.com/nurse-jobs",
    "https://th.jobsdb.com/developer-jobs"
  ],
  "maxResults": 500
}

Note: Seek limits search results to 500 per unique filtered query (25 pages × 20 results). To get more results, use multiple filtered search URLs — for example, 10 different queries can return up to 5,000 results in a single run.

Hidden salary bands (optional)

Many ads hide their salary. SEEK never shows it, but it does let you filter searches by salary, and an ad that hides its salary is still returned when the filter overlaps the range the advertiser entered. With revealHiddenSalary turned on, the actor uses that filter to work out a band for each job without a visible salary.

How it works. SEEK groups salaries into fixed buckets (SEEK AU/NZ, annual: under 30,000, then 30,000, 40,000, 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 80,000, 100,000, 120,000, 150,000, 200,000, 250,000 and 350,000 and above; the Asia sites use their own monthly buckets in local currency). After each search query, the actor repeats that same search once per bucket and records which buckets each hidden-salary job shows up in. The band runs from the bottom of the lowest bucket to the top of the highest one. This is done once per query for all of its jobs, not once per job.

Output. salary_hidden_min and salary_hidden_max (in the job's currency; salary_hidden_max is left out when the top bucket is open ended), salary_hidden_type (annual on SEEK AU/NZ, where SEEK converts hourly and monthly pay to annual, so bands are annual equivalents; monthly on the Asia sites, in local currency), salary_hidden_source (filter_probe) and salary_hidden_note. These fields are left out for jobs with a visible salary, for jobs where no band was found, and for every job when the option is off.

Precision. The band has SEEK's bucket precision, not the advertiser's exact figures. Example: a New Zealand ad that hides its salary came back in the 60,000 and 70,000 buckets, so you get salary_hidden_min 60000 and salary_hidden_max 80000. The advertiser's real range lies inside that band.

Cost. Each search query needs about 13 extra search requests (more for large queries), so runs take a few seconds longer per query. Each job that gets a band is charged one extra per-job event (job-salary-band) on top of the normal result charge. Jobs without a band, and jobs with a visible salary, are not charged for it. With the option off, nothing changes: no extra requests and no extra charge.

Limits.

• Supported sites: SEEK Australia and New Zealand (annual bands), JobStreet Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines and JobsDB Thailand (monthly bands, local currency). JobsDB Hong Kong is not supported yet. For unsupported countries the option is ignored and the log says so.
• Direct Job URLs get a best-effort probe: the actor searches for the job by its title and location, and only jobs it finds that way get a band. Expect fewer bands than in search mode.
• Very large queries are only probed as deep as the jobs the run actually returned (plus a small margin, at most 600 jobs per bucket). If SEEK blocks a probe request, that query gets no bands rather than a wrong one.
• If the detail page turns out to show a salary after all, the band is dropped and not charged.
