SEEK Jobs Scraper (Australia)

Every live job on SEEK, Australia's biggest job board, as clean JSON you can drop straight into a spreadsheet, a CRM or a job board of your own. Search the way you would on the site itself: a job title, a suburb or state, one of SEEK's 30 classifications, full time or casual, on-site or remote, a pay range. Turn on descriptions and every row also carries the complete ad text.

No login. No cookies to paste. No API key. One flat price per job, platform usage included, so the number you see is the number you pay.

What it costs

Event	Price, all-in
Each job returned	$2.00 per 1,000
Full ad text, when you ask for descriptions	$1.00 per 1,000
Run start	$0.001

Platform usage (compute, proxies) is included in those prices — SEEK's public search API answers without a proxy, and that saving is already in the number. A search that matches nothing is never billed beyond the start fee, and a job whose description cannot be fetched is not charged for the description.

What you get

One record per job listing:

Field	Description
jobId	SEEK's listing ID
title	Job title as advertised
companyName	Hiring company or recruiter
companyUrl	The company's SEEK profile, when it has one
advertiserId	SEEK's advertiser ID, stable across that advertiser's ads
location	Suburb and city as SEEK shows it, e.g. Bondi Junction, Sydney NSW
locationRegion	The state the listing rolls up to
allLocations	Every location on the listing, when it names more than one
countryCode	AU
salary	Pay exactly as the advertiser wrote it, e.g. $43.19 to $55.40 per hour
workType	Full time, Part time, Contract/Temp or Casual/Vacation
workTypes	All work types on the listing
workArrangement	Remote, Hybrid or On-site, when SEEK labels it
classification	One of SEEK's 30 categories, e.g. Healthcare & Medical
subClassification	The category below it, e.g. Nursing - General Medical & Surgical
classificationId	SEEK's numeric classification ID
listedAt	When it was listed, ISO timestamp
listedDate	The same date as YYYY-MM-DD
listedAtDisplay	Listing age in SEEK's own words, e.g. 4d ago
isFeatured	Whether the advertiser paid to feature it
teaser	The one-line summary on the search card
bulletPoints	The selling points on the card
roleId	SEEK's normalised role, e.g. registered-nurse
companyLogoUrl	Company logo, when the ad has branding
jobUrl	Direct link to the listing
searchKeyword	Which of your keywords found this row
searchLocation	The location you searched
source	seek.com.au
scrapedAt	When the row was collected

Switch on Add the full job description and every row also gets:

Field	Description
description	The complete ad text, plain text with its list and paragraph breaks kept
descriptionHtml	The same text with the advertiser's original formatting
expiresAt	When the listing comes down
isExpired	Whether it has already closed
isExternalApply	Whether applications go to the company's own site instead of SEEK

Descriptions are billed as a small extra, and only when a description actually comes back. A listing with nothing to return costs you nothing beyond the base row.

Who uses this

• Recruiters and staffing agencies. Watch what your competitors are advertising, in which suburbs, at what pay, and spot the roles a client is filling without you.
• Sales and lead-gen teams in Australia. A company advertising fifteen new roles is a company with a budget. companyName plus classification and location is a buying signal you can act on the same day.
• Job boards and aggregators. A clean, deduplicated feed of Australian listings with descriptions, refreshed as often as you schedule it.
• Salary and labour-market research. salary, workType, workArrangement and classification across thousands of live ads is a much better read on the market than a survey from last year.
• Job seekers and career coaches. Set the listing age to Today, schedule it daily, and get every new posting in your field before the pile builds up.

How the search works

The inputs are SEEK's own search boxes, in SEEK's own words.

What takes one or more keywords. Each is run as its own search and the results are merged and de-duplicated on the listing ID, so searching registered nurse and enrolled nurse together never gives you the same ad twice.

Where takes a place written the way SEEK writes it: Sydney, Melbourne VIC, Bondi Junction NSW 2022, Western Australia, or All Australia. If SEEK does not recognise the name, the run tells you so by name instead of quietly reporting zero jobs.

Classifications, work type and work arrangement are SEEK's own filters. Leave them empty for everything.

Salary type plus paying at least / at most filters on the pay range the advertiser entered, which is not always the same as the salary text shown on the ad. Some Australian advertisers enter a range but hide it, so a pay filter can exclude ads whose salary field looks empty.

Listed in the last is the new-postings filter. Set it to Today and schedule the actor daily to build a feed of nothing but fresh listings.

One thing worth knowing before you set a big maximum jobs: SEEK itself serves at most 550 results for any single search, no matter how many hits it reports. Past that it stops returning rows. To go wider, split the work: several keywords, or one classification per run, or state by state. The run status always tells you when a search hit that ceiling, so you never mistake it for "there were no more jobs".

Questions people ask

Do I need a SEEK account or an API key? No. This reads public listings the same way an ordinary visitor's browser does, with no sign-in of any kind.

How many jobs can I get in one run? As many as you set, but SEEK serves at most 550 results per individual search. Several keywords, or one classification per run, or one state per run, all multiply that. The run status says when a search hit the ceiling.

Can I get the full job description? Yes, switch on Add the full job description. You get both a plain-text version that keeps the ad's list and paragraph structure, and the original HTML. It costs a small extra per job, charged only when a description is actually returned.

Does it cover New Zealand, or SEEK's Asian sites? This one covers seek.com.au, the Australian site. New Zealand and the Asian boards run on separate SEEK sites.

Why is salary empty on some rows? Because the advertiser chose not to publish a pay figure, which is common in Australia. The pay filter still works on those ads when the advertiser entered a range privately, which is why a salary filter sometimes returns rows whose salary field is empty.

Can I run it as a daily alert for new jobs? Yes. Set Listed in the last to Today, schedule the actor daily, and you get only that day's listings. Add an integration to push them into Slack, a Google Sheet or your own webhook.

How do I search a whole state or all of Australia? Put Western Australia, Queensland or All Australia in Where. State and national searches hit the 550-per-search ceiling quickly, so pair them with a classification or a specific keyword.

Is scraping SEEK legal? This collects public job advertisements: company, role, location, pay and the ad text. It collects nothing about individual people, no applicants and no profiles. Use the data in line with SEEK's terms and your own local rules.

What happens if SEEK blocks the run? The run stops fetching after two refused requests rather than spending your money retrying against a block, keeps everything it already collected, and says exactly what happened in the run status.
