Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## SEEK Jobs Scraper: Titles, Salary, Company, No Login

> Plain HTTP against SEEK's own public search API. No login, no proxy, no browser.

> You are only charged for a job that actually lands in your dataset. A failed or empty page is never billed.

### Overview

SEEK is Australia's largest job board, and this actor turns any SEEK keyword and location search into structured rows: job title, company, classification, salary label, work type, listing date and a direct apply link.

Give it one or more keywords such as "software engineer" or "registered nurse", optionally a location like "Sydney NSW", and it returns everything SEEK's own search results page would show you, without opening a browser.

Real jobs, in seconds ✅ · Salary label captured when disclosed ✅ · Classification and subclassification included ✅ · MCP ready for AI agents ✅

### How it reaches SEEK without a browser

SEEK's search results pages sit behind an enterprise bot management challenge, and a plain request to those pages is rejected outright. But the search page itself is only a shell: once it loads in a real browser, it calls SEEK's own versioned public search API to fill in the results, and that API endpoint answers a bare request directly, with no cookies, no session and no proxy required. This actor talks to that same endpoint SEEK's own front end uses. Nothing here relies on a browser, a proxy pool or a workaround that could quietly stop working: it is the real API, the same one that powers seek.com.au itself.

Because there is no proxy and no browser render, there is close to nothing standing between your search and the result. That is also why this actor can be priced well below actors that render pages in a browser to get the same data.

### Input

```json
{
  "keywords": ["software engineer"],
  "where": "Sydney NSW",
  "maxJobsPerKeyword": 40,
  "workType": "",
  "sortMode": "KeywordRelevance"
}
```

| Field | What it takes |
| --- | --- |
| `keywords` | One or more search terms. Each is searched independently and results are combined into one dataset, deduplicated by job ID. |
| `where` | A SEEK location string, for example "Sydney NSW", "Melbourne VIC" or "All Perth WA". Leave blank to search all of Australia. |
| `maxJobsPerKeyword` | Hard cap per keyword. SEEK returns 20 jobs per page, so this is your main cost and runtime control. |
| `workType` | Optional filter: full time, part time, contract or temp, casual or vacation. |
| `salaryMin` / `salaryMax` | Optional annual AUD salary band filter. |
| `sortMode` | Best match (SEEK's relevance ranking) or most recent listings first. |

### Output

```json
{
  "job_id": "93953663",
  "title": "Software Engineer (Developer)",
  "company_name": "Coadys Personnel Consultants",
  "classification": "Information & Communication Technology",
  "subclassification": "Engineering - Software",
  "location": "Sydney NSW",
  "work_types": ["Full time"],
  "work_arrangement": "Hybrid",
  "salary_label": "$85K - $95K + Super",
  "teaser": "Dynamic National Technology Co. | Salary $85K - $95K + Super | Amazing Staff Benefits",
  "is_featured": false,
  "listing_date_display": "14h ago",
  "apply_url": "https://www.seek.com.au/job/93953663",
  "search_keyword": "software engineer",
  "search_location": "Sydney NSW",
  "scraped_at": "2026-08-13T20:10:12.108Z"
}
```

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 🆔 `job_id` | SEEK job ID, stable for deduplication across runs |
| 📄 `title` | Job title |
| 🏢 `company_name` | Advertising company or agency |
| 🗂️ `classification` / `subclassification` | SEEK's own industry taxonomy |
| 📍 `location` | Location label as displayed |
| 🕐 `work_types` | Full time, part time, contract, casual |
| 🏠 `work_arrangement` | On site, hybrid or remote, when disclosed |
| 💰 `salary_label` | Salary exactly as the advertiser wrote it, blank if undisclosed |
| ✍️ `teaser` | Short listing summary line |
| ⭐ `is_featured` | Whether the ad is a featured or premium placement |
| 📅 `listing_date_display` | Recency as SEEK shows it, for example "14h ago" |
| 🔗 `apply_url` | Direct link to the job on SEEK |

### Common use cases

**Talent market research.** See who is hiring for a role in a city right now, what they call the role, and what they are willing to say about salary.

**Salary benchmarking.** Pull every disclosed salary label for a role and location to build a real, current pay range instead of relying on a survey.

**Recruitment and sourcing lead lists.** Build a list of companies actively hiring for a skill set, with a direct link into the live ad.

**Competitor hiring signals.** Track what roles a competitor is opening, which often reveals what they are building next before it is public.

**AI agents.** Feed live SEEK listings into an agent that answers "who is hiring software engineers in Sydney this week and what are they paying?"

### Pricing

| Event | Price | You pay when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Job delivered | $0.0015 | A job lands in your dataset |

**$1.50 per 1,000 jobs.** A search that returns nothing costs nothing.

### Run it on a schedule

1. Run once with the keywords and location you want repeated, then click **Save as a task**.
2. In the Apify Console go to **Schedules, Create new**.
3. Pick a frequency and attach the saved task.
4. Wire the dataset to Sheets, Slack or a webhook from the **Integrations** tab.

Deduplicate on `job_id` so a repeated schedule never reprocesses the same listing, and compare `listing_date` across runs to catch genuinely new postings.

### FAQ

**Do I need a SEEK account?**
No. The actor reads SEEK's own public search results only.

**Does it return the full job description?**
It returns the search result teaser and highlight bullet points, which is everything SEEK's own results list shows. The full description lives on the individual job page, which the `apply_url` links straight to.

**Why did I get fewer jobs than my cap?**
Because the search has fewer matching jobs, or the result set was exhausted before the cap. The run reports what it actually found rather than padding the count.

**Does this cover New Zealand SEEK too?**
Not currently. This actor is scoped to seek.com.au (Australia) only.

**Will this actor break if SEEK changes its site design?**
It talks to SEEK's underlying data API rather than parsing rendered page HTML, which is meaningfully more stable across visual redesigns, though no scraper can promise a target will never change its API.

### Use from Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP agent

```

Or call it programmatically:

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('themineworks/seek-jobs-scraper').call({
  keywords: ['software engineer'],
  where: 'Sydney NSW',
  maxJobsPerKeyword: 40,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
