What is SEEK's developer API?
SEEK runs job marketplaces in Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Its official API is a partner API for hirers and recruitment software: access requires partner approval, and it is designed for posting jobs to SEEK rather than for reading job-market data.
SEEK's partner API is suited for:
- ATS and HR software vendors that distribute job postings directly to SEEK's candidate audience.
- Approved recruitment platforms with an existing SEEK commercial partnership.

What you should know before choosing Techmap
The API returns 10 postings per request
Correct - the Jobs API is metered per request of 10 postings, which works out at $1 per 1,000 job postings. For bulk volumes you don't page through the API at all: daily JSON Lines files per country arrive in your own S3 bucket via AWS Data Exchange, without request limits.
The API only covers the last 3 months
Correct - the API is built for fresh postings. Everything older lives in the historical archive: 451M+ postings since January 2020, sold per country as datasets in the same schema, so current and historical data join without mapping.
Duplicates are flagged, not removed
Correct - a posting with the same company, city, country and title within 3 days is kept and marked isDuplicate: true, with isDuplicateOf pointing to the first one. Add isDuplicate=false to an API query to exclude them. Keeping them is useful for analysis: they show on which boards, career pages and employment offices a company distributes its job ads - and how much it spends on them.
