What it does

The actor searches Seek (seek.com.au or seek.co.nz), applies the filters you pass as input, paginates through the matching job listings, and writes one normalized record per job to the run's dataset. With withDetails on, each job page is opened to add the full description, advertiser verification, share link, and listing expiry. An optional contact-enrichment add-on can look up a public business contact email and name for each result.

Data covers Australia and New Zealand job listings from Seek. It is aimed at recruitment, talent sourcing, salary benchmarking, market research, and lead generation.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the 5 most relevant software engineering jobs in Sydney with full detail.

{
  "keyword": "software engineer",
  "location": "Sydney",
  "country": "au",
  "maxJobs": 5,
  "withDetails": true,
  "salaryType": "annual"
}

Leave location empty to search the whole country. Set country to nz to search Seek New Zealand. Every filter is optional.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~seek-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword":"software engineer","location":"Sydney","country":"au","maxJobs":25,"withDetails":true}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~seek-jobs-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword":"registered nurse","country":"nz","dateRange":"7","maxJobs":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/seek-jobs-scraper \
  --input '{"keyword":"marketing manager","location":"Melbourne"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per job returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Detail add-on. When withDetails is on and the full job page is fetched, a details add-on event is charged in addition to the base result. Turn withDetails off to skip it.
• Contact enrichment add-on. When enrichContacts is on, the add-on is billed per attempt, plus an extra charge only when an email is actually found.
• No charge on failure. If a search fails and no data was returned, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 results per run, and the enrichment add-on is capped at 3 attempts. Upgrade for a higher maxJobs.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The filter combination matched nothing on Seek. Loosen filters (remove salaryFrom/salaryTo, widen dateRange, or clear location). Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I search New Zealand jobs? Set country to nz. The actor then searches seek.co.nz.

How do I get only remote jobs? Set remoteOnly to true. The actor keeps jobs detected as remote from work arrangement, work type, title, or location.

Why is the description field missing? withDetails was off. Turn it on to fetch each job page for the full description and extra metadata.

What does the contact-enrichment add-on return? When enabled, it attempts a public business contact email and a person's name, filling the enriched* fields. It is billed per attempt plus per email found, and is capped by enrichContactsMax.

Is this an official Seek tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Seek. It reads only data that is publicly available on the Seek website. Use it in accordance with Seek's terms of service.
