Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## 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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## πŸ’Ό Seek Jobs Scraper β€” Most Comprehensive (AU & NZ) **Scrape Seek job listings from Australia (seek.com.au) AND New Zealand (seek.co.nz) β€” title, company, location, parsed salary min/max, work type, remote flag, posting date, bullet points, advertiser details, and (optionally) the full job description with contact email β€” at a fraction of what the other Seek actors charge. Then schedule it as a saved-search monitor that pings Slack, email, or webhook the moment a new job is posted.** ### How it compares | | **This actor** | Leading Seek scraper | Other Seek scraper | |---|---|---|---| | **Price per 1,000 jobs** | **$0.20** ($0.40 with full descriptions) | $2.50 | $2.01 (incl. actor-start fee) | | **Countries** | AU + NZ in one run | AU | AU | | **Per-job actor-start fee** | None | β€” | Yes (charged per run) | | **Parsed salary (min/max/currency/period)** | βœ… | not advertised | not advertised | | **Full description + contact email/phone** | βœ… optional (+$0.0002/job) | β€” | β€” | | **Remote/hybrid/on-site flag** | βœ… | not advertised | not advertised | | **New-job monitor + Slack/email/webhook alerts** | βœ… built in | β€” | β€” | | **Raw API payload kept per job** | βœ… (`raw` field β€” nothing trimmed) | β€” | β€” | | **Failure handling** | per-page retries with fresh proxy sessions; one bad page never kills the run | β€” | 6% reported run-failure rate | *Incumbent prices/figures as published on their Apify store pages, June 2026. Feature dashes = not listed on their store page.* No login, no API key, no browser automation β€” the actor reads Seek's own public JSON search API and filters **server-side**, so you pull only the jobs you actually want, fast. --- ### What does Seek Jobs Scraper do? It extracts **job listings** from [Seek](https://www.seek.com.au) β€” the dominant job board for Australia & New Zealand, with 160k+ live Australian listings β€” and returns clean, structured rows you can export to **JSON, CSV, Excel, or push to your app via API**. - πŸ”Ž **Search the way Seek does** β€” keywords, location ("Sydney", "All Auckland"…), classification (industry), sub-classification, work type, salary band, date posted. All server-side. - 🌏 **Both countries** β€” Australia, New Zealand, or both in a single run. - πŸ’° **Salary, parsed** β€” the advertised label (`"$120,000 – $140,000 per year"`) PLUS numeric `salary_min`, `salary_max`, `salary_currency` (AUD/NZD), `salary_period` (year/hour/day/week/month). - 🏠 **Remote flag** β€” `is_remote` from Seek's own On-site / Hybrid / Remote work-arrangement data. - 🏒 **Advertiser intel** β€” advertiser id + name, employer company-profile URL, verified-advertiser flag and registration date (with descriptions on). - πŸ“ **Full descriptions** *(optional)* β€” complete HTML job ad + plaintext, expiry date, and the **contact email / phone** when the ad includes one (recruiter lead-gen gold). - πŸ”” **Saved-search monitor** β€” schedule it and get **Slack / email / webhook alerts** for newly posted jobs matching your query. - πŸ“¦ **Nothing thrown away** β€” every job keeps the full raw API payload under `raw` (branding, tracking ids, SEO hierarchy, the lot). --- ### What data does it extract? For every job listing: - πŸ†” `id`, πŸ”— `job_url`, 🌏 `country` (AU/NZ) - 🏷️ `title`, `teaser`, `bullet_points[]` - 🏒 `company_name`, `advertiser_id`, `advertiser_name`, `employer_company_url`, `advertiser_verified`*, `advertiser_registered`* - πŸ“ `location`, `country_code`, `area_hierarchy[]` (suburb β†’ region) - πŸ—‚οΈ `classification` + `classification_id`, `subclassification` + `subclassification_id` - πŸ’Ό `work_types[]`, `work_arrangements[]` (On-site/Hybrid/Remote), `is_remote` - πŸ’° `salary_label`, `salary_min`, `salary_max`, `salary_currency`, `salary_period` - πŸ“… `listing_date` (ISO UTC), `listing_date_display`, `expires_at`*, `is_expired`* - ⭐ `is_featured`, `display_type`, `role_id`, πŸ–ΌοΈ `logo_url` - πŸ“ `description_html`*, `description_text`*, `abstract`* - πŸ“§ `contact_email`*, πŸ“ž `contact_phone`* - πŸ—ƒοΈ `raw` (the complete untouched API payload), ✨ `is_new` (monitor mode), πŸ•’ `scraped_at` *\* = filled by the optional `fetchDescriptions` enrichment.* --- ### Who is it for? - 🎯 **Recruiters & agencies** mapping open roles, clients' competitors, and which ads include direct contact emails. - πŸ“Š **Labour-market & salary analysts** tracking demand, advertised salary bands, and remote-work share by industry or city. - πŸ€– **Job-alert builders** wiring fresh postings into Slack, Discord (via webhook), or their own apps within minutes of posting. - πŸ› οΈ **Job aggregators & boards** backfilling AU/NZ inventory with structured, deduplicated rows. - πŸ’‘ **Sales & GTM teams** using job postings as buying signals ("hiring 5 DevOps engineers" = infrastructure budget). --- ### Two ways to use it 1. **Bulk scrape** β€” pull every job for a keyword, city, industry, salary band, or work type into one clean dataset. 2. **Saved-search monitor** *(the recurring play)* β€” set `monitorMode: true`, attach an **Apify Schedule** (e.g. hourly), and the actor emits/alerts **only jobs new since the last run**. Pair with `dateRange: 3` and the default `Newest first` sort so each run stays tiny and cheap. --- ### How to use it (step by step) 1. Click **Try for free**. 2. Enter **Keywords** (e.g. `engineer`) and/or a **Location** (e.g. `Sydney`) β€” or leave both empty and pick a classification to sweep a whole industry. 3. Pick the **Country**: Australia, New Zealand, or both. 4. *(Optional)* add filters: work type, salary range, posted-within days. 5. *(Optional)* turn on **Fetch full descriptions** for the complete ad, expiry date, advertiser verification, and contact email/phone. 6. Click **Start**, then open the **Dataset** tab to view/export. 7. *(Optional)* set **monitorMode** + a **Schedule** + an alert channel to get pinged on new postings. #### Quick start ```json { "keywords": "engineer", "location": "Sydney", "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Saved-search monitor example ```json { "keywords": "data engineer", "location": "Melbourne VIC", "dateRange": 3, "monitorMode": true, "alertOnNewJob": true, "slackWebhookUrl": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/…" } ``` #### Recruiter lead-gen example (full ads + contact emails, both countries) ```json { "keywords": "registered nurse", "country": "both", "fetchDescriptions": true, "maxItems": 500 } ``` *** ### Input | Field | What it does | |-------|--------------| | `keywords` | search keywords, like the Seek search box (empty = all jobs) | | `location` | free-text "Where" β€” `Sydney`, `Melbourne VIC`, `All Auckland`… (empty = whole country) | | `country` | `AU` Β· `NZ` Β· `both` | | `classification` / `subclassification` | Seek industry ids, comma-separated (e.g. `1209` = Engineering, `6281` = ICT) | | `workType` | `242` Full time Β· `243` Part time Β· `244` Contract/Temp Β· `245` Casual/Vacation (comma list) | | `salaryMin` / `salaryMax` + `salaryType` | advertised salary band filter, annual or hourly | | `dateRange` | only jobs posted in the last N days (server-side) | | `sortMode` | `ListedDate` (newest first, default) Β· `KeywordRelevance` | | `fetchDescriptions` | add full HTML/plaintext description, expiry, advertiser verification, contact email/phone | | `maxItems` | hard cap per run (0 = everything the query can reach) | | `monitorMode`, `alertOnNewJob` | recurring watcher + alerts | | `webhookUrl`, `slackWebhookUrl`, `emailRecipients` | alert channels | | `proxyConfiguration`, `requestConcurrency` | proxy + parallelism (datacenter is enough) | **Common classification ids:** 1200 Accounting Β· 1203 Admin & Office Support Β· 1209 Engineering Β· 1211 Construction Β· 1223 Healthcare & Medical Β· 6281 Information & Communication Technology Β· 6304 Trades & Services Β· 6251 Education & Training Β· 1225 Hospitality & Tourism Β· 6205 Sales. (Pick a category on seek.com.au and copy the id from the URL for the rest.) *** ### Output Each job is one dataset record (fields listed above). Export to **JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or RSS**, or fetch via the **Apify API**. `listing_date`/`expires_at` are ISO UTC; salary numbers are in AUD (AU) or NZD (NZ). Example record (truncated): ```json { "id": "92643651", "job_url": "https://www.seek.co.nz/job/92643651", "country": "NZ", "title": "Production Engineer", "company_name": "PEC", "location": "Marton, Manawatu", "country_code": "NZ", "classification": "Engineering", "subclassification": "Industrial Engineering", "work_types": ["Full time"], "work_arrangements": ["On-site"], "is_remote": false, "salary_label": "$65,000 – $80,000 per year", "salary_min": 65000, "salary_max": 80000, "salary_currency": "NZD", "salary_period": "year", "listing_date": "2026-06-10T21:37:13Z", "listing_date_display": "2d ago", "bullet_points": ["Great team culture", "Career progression", "Competitive salary"], "contact_email": "careers@pec.co.nz", "description_text": "PEC is a leading New Zealand manufacturer…" } ``` *** ### How much does it cost? Pay-per-event β€” you pay for what you pull, no subscription, **no per-run actor-start fee**. Intended rates: | Event | What it covers | Price | |-------|----------------|-------| | `lot-scraped` | each job returned | **$0.0002 / job** | | `lot-detail-enriched` | each full-description fetch | **$0.0002 / job** | | `monitor-run-completed` | each scheduled watch run | $0.01 / run | | `new-lot-detected` | each newly posted job found | $0.0005 / job | | `alert-delivered` | each Slack/email/webhook push | $0.002 / alert | *(Final per-event prices are set on the actor's pricing page.)* That's **$0.20 per 1,000 jobs** ($0.40/1k with full descriptions) β€” vs **$2.50/1k** and **$2.01/1k** for the other Seek scrapers on the store. An hourly monitor on a niche search costs roughly a quarter a day plus the new jobs it actually finds. #### Why so much cheaper? Seek serves its own search results from a public structured JSON API β€” no browser, no rendering, no proxies burned on anti-bot. 100 jobs per request means 1,000 jobs β‰ˆ 10 requests β‰ˆ a few seconds of compute. We pass that through. *** ### βš–οΈ Is it legal to scrape Seek? This actor only reads **publicly available job listings** β€” the same data anyone sees without logging in. Job ads are business postings, published by employers *to be seen*; contact emails/phones surfaced are the ones advertisers chose to print in their own ads. That said, scraping may conflict with **Seek's Terms of Service** (a ToS-gray area common to all job-board scrapers, including the incumbents): you are responsible for how you use the data β€” review Seek's current ToS before commercial use, honor takedown requests, and handle any personal contact data per applicable privacy law (Australian Privacy Act / NZ Privacy Act / GDPR where it applies). *** ### FAQ **What is Seek?** Seek is the #1 employment marketplace for Australia and New Zealand β€” the default place AU/NZ employers post jobs, with 160k+ live Australian listings at any time. **Do I need an account, login, or API key?** No. The actor reads Seek's public job-search data directly β€” no account, cookies, or API key required. **Can I scrape both Australia and New Zealand?** Yes β€” set `country` to `AU`, `NZ`, or `both`. Each job row carries its `country` so you can split them downstream. **Does it parse salaries into numbers?** Yes β€” alongside the advertised `salary_label`, you get numeric `salary_min` / `salary_max`, the `salary_currency` (AUD/NZD), and the `salary_period` (year, hour, day, week, month). Note many ads simply don't advertise a salary; those stay null. **Can I get the full job description?** Yes β€” turn on `fetchDescriptions` to add the complete HTML ad, a plaintext version, the expiry date, advertiser verification details, and any contact email/phone printed in the ad. It's one extra request per job, billed at $0.0002. **Can I filter to remote jobs?** Filter the output on `is_remote` (from Seek's own On-site/Hybrid/Remote data). You can also put "remote" in `keywords` to narrow server-side first. **How do I monitor a saved search and get alerts?** Turn on `monitorMode`, attach an Apify **Schedule**, and add a Slack/webhook/email channel. Each run emits and alerts **only jobs new since the last run** for that exact search scope β€” state persists in a named key-value store. **How many jobs can one query return?** Seek's API serves roughly **500–550 results deep per query** (the same limit applies in the browser). For bigger pulls, slice by `classification`, `location`, `workType`, or `dateRange` and run the slices β€” the actor logs a warning with this advice whenever it hits the wall. **How do I find classification / work-type ids?** The most common ones are listed in the Input section above; for the rest, pick the filter on seek.com.au and copy the id from the URL. **How fast is it?** The search API returns 100 jobs per request in ~0.5 s β€” 1,000 jobs typically lands in well under a minute without descriptions. **What about jobs posted today only?** Set `dateRange: 1` (server-side "posted in the last day") β€” ideal for daily digests and monitors. **How do I export the data?** JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or RSS from the Dataset tab, or via the Apify API. **Can I integrate with Make, Zapier, n8n, or my backend?** Yes β€” use the webhook/Slack channels for alerts, or the Apify API to pipe the dataset anywhere. *** ### You might also like - πŸ’Ό Job-posting & hiring-signal scrapers (ATS boards, layoffs, licenses) - 🌏 Other country-specific job-board scrapers - πŸ“Š Company-enrichment and lead-gen actors *** ### Feedback Found a missing field or want a new filter? Open an issue on the actor β€” fast fixes and feature requests welcome. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `string`): Search keywords, exactly like the Seek search box (e.g. 'engineer', 'registered nurse', 'data analyst'). Leave empty to sweep ALL jobs (combine with location/classification filters). ## `location` (type: `string`): Free-text location, exactly like Seek's 'Where' box β€” e.g. 'Sydney', 'Melbourne VIC', 'All Auckland', 'Christchurch Canterbury'. Leave empty for the whole country. ## `country` (type: `string`): Which Seek site to search: Australia (seek.com.au), New Zealand (seek.co.nz), or both. ## `classification` (type: `string`): Seek classification (industry) ids, comma-separated β€” e.g. '1209' = Engineering, '6281' = ICT, '1223' = Healthcare & Medical. Find ids in the seek.com.au URL after picking a classification, or in this actor's README. ## `subclassification` (type: `string`): Seek sub-classification ids, comma-separated (e.g. '6035' = Civil/Structural Engineering). Narrower than classification. ## `workType` (type: `string`): Comma-separated work-type ids: 242 = Full time, 243 = Part time, 244 = Contract/Temp, 245 = Casual/Vacation. Empty = all. ## `salaryMin` (type: `integer`): Lower bound of the advertised salary band (in AUD/NZD, per the Salary type below). Leave empty for no floor. ## `salaryMax` (type: `integer`): Upper bound of the advertised salary band. Leave empty for no cap. ## `salaryType` (type: `string`): Whether the salary range above is annual or hourly. ## `dateRange` (type: `integer`): Only jobs posted in the last N days (server-side, like Seek's 'Listed any time' menu). 0 = any time. Great for monitors: 1 or 3. ## `sortMode` (type: `string`): Result order. 'Newest first' (ListedDate) is deterministic and best for monitors; 'Relevance' mirrors the Seek default for keyword searches. ## `fetchDescriptions` (type: `boolean`): Enrich every job with the full HTML job description (+ plaintext), exact salary label, advertiser verification + registration date, expiry date, and the contact email/phone when the ad includes one. One extra request per job. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on jobs scraped this run (cost/safety guard). Defaults to 50 for a fast first run β€” set 0 to take everything the query can reach (Seek serves ~500-550 results deep per query; slice by classification/location/date to get more). ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Recurring watcher: diff against the prior run's seen jobs (per search scope) and output/alert ONLY newly posted jobs. Pair with an Apify Schedule, 'Newest first' sort, and dateRange 1-3. ## `alertOnNewJob` (type: `boolean`): In monitor mode, deliver an alert for each newly posted job via the channels below. ## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`): POST endpoint for new-job alert payloads (Make / Zapier / n8n / custom). One JSON body per alert. ## `slackWebhookUrl` (type: `string`): Slack incoming-webhook URL for formatted new-job cards. ## `emailRecipients` (type: `array`): Email addresses for the new-job digest (sent via apify/send-mail). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Datacenter rotation is enough β€” Seek's job-search API is public JSON with no anti-bot. ## `requestConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Max parallel requests for description fetches. Keep modest to be polite. ## `diagnose` (type: `boolean`): Dev only. Dumps the raw search + detail JSON to the key-value store (DEBUG\_SEARCH\_JSON / DEBUG\_DETAIL\_JSON) and logs the parsed first row + pagination check, then exits. Leave off for normal runs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": "engineer", "location": "Sydney", "country": "AU", "salaryType": "annual", "dateRange": 0, "sortMode": "ListedDate", "fetchDescriptions": false, "maxItems": 50, "monitorMode": false, "alertOnNewJob": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }, "requestConcurrency": 5, "diagnose": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `items` (type: `string`): The dataset of scraped Seek AU/NZ job listings (one job per row). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
