## What's an Apify Actor?
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.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which countries does this Seek scraper cover?**
It covers the Australian site seek.com.au and the New Zealand site seek.co.nz. Pick the country in the Country input; each site has its own job inventory and locations.
**How many jobs can I collect in one run?**
As many as you set in Max Items. The scraper pages through the search results 32 jobs at a time and stops when it reaches your limit or runs out of fresh listings. A single popular search on Seek can return hundreds of results.
**Can I filter by salary, work type and date?**
Yes. You can filter by work type (Full time, Part time, Contract/Temp, Casual/Vacation), by a minimum and maximum salary (annual or hourly), and by how recently the job was listed (last 1, 3, 7, 14 or 31 days), on top of keyword and location.
**Does it return the full job description and salary?**
Salary appears on the search result whenever the employer advertises one, so it is captured without opening each page. When Fetch Full Details is enabled, the scraper also opens each job page and adds the full description text, the advertiser verification flag and the listing expiry date.
**Why is salary or the company logo sometimes empty?**
Seek only shows a salary range or a branded logo when the employer provides them. When a listing does not advertise pay or upload a logo, those fields are returned empty rather than guessed.
