Seek.com Jobs Search Scraper: Bulk Extract Australian Job Listings

---

What Is Seek.com?

Seek.com is Australia's largest job board, hosting hundreds of thousands of active listings across industries. It connects job seekers with employers and provides detailed search filters by location, role, and experience level. Manually scrolling through search results and extracting job data is inefficient — the Seek Jobs Search Scraper automates collection from search result pages, delivering bulk job records in structured format.

---

Overview

The Seek Jobs Search Scraper targets search result pages (not detail pages) on Seek.com, extracting summary-level job data for each listing displayed. It is optimized for:

• Job aggregator platforms — Feed listings into multi-source job boards
• Recruitment agencies — Monitor job market trends and competitor postings
• Data analysts — Research Australian employment trends by location and industry
• HR teams — Build talent pipelines and competitive intelligence

Key features include bulk extraction up to 200 items per page, graceful error handling, and comprehensive structured output covering employer, salary, location, and work arrangement data.

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object targeting Seek search results pages:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://au.seek.com/software-engineer-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW?page=2"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	array	URLs of Seek search results pages. Mix keywords, locations, and page numbers (e.g., software-engineer-jobs, marketing-jobs). One search URL typically displays 20–30 listings; multiple pages can yield larger datasets.
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum number of listings to extract per page (default: 20, max: 200). Use 200 for comprehensive collection from each search page.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	If true, the scraper continues if some URLs fail. If false, a single failure stops the entire run. Recommended: true for bulk operations.

URL Structure Tips

• Base pattern: https://au.seek.com/[job-keyword]-jobs/in-All-[Location]-[State]?page=[N]

How to Use

1. Identify search results URLs — Go to Seek.com, search for your target role/location, and copy the page URL. You can build multiple URLs with different filters.
2. Configure input — Paste URLs into the urls array. Set max_items_per_url to 200 for full-page extraction.
3. Set error handling — Use ignore_url_failures: true for bulk runs to prevent interruptions if a page temporarily fails.
4. Start the run — Execute the scraper and monitor progress in the run log.
5. Export results — Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis, import, or database loading.

Troubleshooting:

• Ensure URLs point to search results pages, not individual job detail pages.
• Check for location and keyword accuracy in the URL (typos may return no results).
• If a URL yields fewer items than max_items_per_url, the page likely has fewer listings.
• Use page parameters (?page=2, ?page=3) to collect from multiple result pages.
