Seek Scraper - Jobs in 8 Asia-Pacific Countries

The NanoScrape Seek.com.au Scraper is an Apify actor that extracts job listings from seek.com.au. It returns 40 fields per result including title, company, location, company_industry, company_size, priced at $2.5/1k job, with no API key or monthly subscription required.

Seek / JobStreet / JobsDB (General, APAC): 40 fields across 8 countries (AU, NZ, SG, MY, ID, PH, HK, TH) (source platform). Contact email/phone, work arrangement, and classifications. One actor for all APAC job boards.

Cost math

Priced at $0.0025 per job. 10 jobs ≈ $0.03, 100 ≈ $0.25, 1,000 ≈ $2.50. The first runs land inside Apify's $5/mo free-tier credit — pay only for what you extract, no monthly subscription.

Who Should Use This

Asia-Pacific job aggregators and HR tech platforms covering multiple APAC countries need this actor because it is the only scraper that covers all three platform variants (Seek, JobStreet, JobsDB) under a single unified schema, eliminating the need to maintain three separate scrapers with three different output formats. Healthcare and nursing recruitment platforms get employer_questions and contact_email, which are unique to the Seek family and enable pre-screening and direct outreach at the point of scraping. Salary benchmark tools covering the APAC region value the multi-currency salary parsing: AUD, NZD, SGD, MYR, IDR, PHP, HKD, and THB are all extracted and normalized in the same schema. Job monitoring pipelines use the content_hash field to detect listing changes without re-fetching the full detail page on every run.

Get your Apify API token

To run this actor from your own code you need an Apify API token. Get one in about a minute:

1. Sign up for a free Apify account (Google, GitHub, or email).
2. Go to Settings → Integrations → API tokens.
3. Click Create a new API token. Copy it and keep it secret.

Free tier: Apify credits your account with $5 of platform usage every month, no credit card required. Enough to test any actor meaningfully - at $0.001 per result on typical scrapers, that is roughly 5,000 results for free every month.

Call from code

Run this actor from any language via the Apify REST API. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with your API token and adapt the input JSON to your needs.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/santamaria-automations~seek-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

// npm install apify-client
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('santamaria-automations/seek-scraper').call({});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

# pip install apify-client
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_TOKEN')
run = client.actor('santamaria-automations/seek-scraper').call(run_input={})
items = list(client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items())
print(items)

// dotnet add package Apify.Client
using Apify.Client;

var client = new ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN");
var run = await client.Actor("santamaria-automations/seek-scraper").CallAsync(new { });
var items = await client.Dataset(run.DefaultDatasetId).ListItemsAsync();

// Maven: com.apify:apify-client
import com.apify.client.ApifyClient;

ApifyClient client = new ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN");

List<Map<String,Object>> items = client.dataset(run.getDefaultDatasetId()).listItems();
