Pricing

Volume	Cost
1,000 results	$0.99
10,000 results	$9.90
100,000 results	$99.00

Per-result pricing. No minimum. No subscription. Compute costs are included — you pay only for results delivered.

For comparison: hiring a freelancer to manually collect 1,000 job listings costs $50–200 and takes days.

Performance

Scenario	Results	Time
HK developer jobs, no details	500	~30 sec
HK all jobs, with descriptions	200	~90 sec
TH finance jobs, last 7 days	100	~60 sec

---

Known limitations

• Salary data is only available when explicitly listed by the employer (common for senior HK roles, less common in TH)
• Maximum 100 results per page; pagination is automatic
• Job market coverage: Hong Kong and Thailand only (other SEEK Asia markets use a separate platform)
• startUrls mode returns limited metadata without a search context — set fetchDetails: true for full descriptions
