📋 Overview

Need SEEK job data without copy-pasting? This scraper turns any SEEK (seek.com.au / seek.co.nz) search into a clean, structured dataset — by keyword and location, by a pasted search URL, or by job ID for full detail — exported as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Why thousands of professionals choose us:

• ✅ Every field that matters: title, company, salary, location, work type, classification, posting date, full description, bullet points, company profile & more

• 💰 Pay only for results: transparent pay-per-job pricing, no charge for invalid input, generous free tier
• 💎 AU + NZ in one tool: seek.com.au and seek.co.nz, no account or API key required

🐛 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check your keywords and where spelling (use SEEK's own location labels, e.g. "Sydney NSW")
• Broaden the search or set where to All Australia

Fewer results than expected

• FREE tier is capped at 25 jobs per run — upgrade for unlimited
• Lower maxResults only limits the run; raise it to get more

Detail mode returns nothing for an ID

• The listing may have expired or been removed; verify the job is still live on SEEK

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

You can also read Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping.
