Pricing

Pay Per Event — one flat rate per job delivered to your dataset.

No proxy cost — this actor uses the Seek public JSON API directly.

Pricing example

You are only charged for jobs actually delivered. Empty queries and blocked requests are not charged. Turning on includeDescriptions fetches an extra page per job (billed by Apify as platform compute, not as an extra per-result fee from us).

FAQ

Do I need an API key or proxy? No. This actor uses Seek's official public v5 API — verified at HTTP 200 with no blocking. Zero credentials needed.

Australia or New Zealand? Set siteKey to AU-Main for Seek.com.au or NZ-Main for Seek.co.nz. Both in one actor.

Can I filter by industry? Yes — use classificationId (e.g. 6281 for ICT). Get category IDs from Seek's facet response or their public sitemap.

What if a query returns 0 results? The actor logs the query as empty and exits cleanly — no crash, no charge for empty pages.

Integrations

Built for AU/NZ recruiters, job aggregators, and labor-market researchers tracking hiring trends across Australia and New Zealand — the JSON/dataset output drops into the tools you already run, no glue code:

• n8n / Make / Zapier — trigger a run or pipe every new dataset item into 500+ apps (Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, HubSpot, your database) with no code: n8n, Make, Zapier.
• Webhooks — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes, to push results straight into your pipeline (docs).
• MCP server — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client so an AI agent can pull this data mid-conversation (guide).
• API & SDKs — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs.
