      Introduction

      The SEEK API provides access to SEEK’s employment marketplace. This documentation is targeted at developers integrating their recruitment software with SEEK.

      Use cases

      The SEEK API provides a unified way to access a shared set of HR-related objects. While there is a single SEEK API, there are a number of ways to use the API to accomplish specific goals:
      As the SEEK API gains more functionality it will add new objects and fields to its existing schema. This lets you leverage your existing development effort and knowledge to access future SEEK features.

      Technology

      The SEEK API leverages existing industry standards whenever possible. The core of the API is built on:
      • OAuth 2.0  for authenticating our integration partners to SEEK.
      • GraphQL for exposing our graph of positions , candidates  and other business objects.
        GraphQL allows you to query and join SEEK’s objects together in whatever way best suits your software. It also gives SEEK insight into how its API is being used and which fields our partners are interested in.
      • HR Open standards  as the basis of our GraphQL schema.
        Your software may already be using an existing HR Open standard such as HR-XML or HR-JSON. HR Open provides us with common, neutral terminology for concepts in the recruitment software space.
      • Webhooks to inform our partners of events that occur on SEEK.
      • Web-based components to ease feature adoption.
        SEEK provides an embeddable and hosted experiences that save you the time of building every use case feature from scratch. These components comply with web standards and are implemented in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

      Multi-market support

      While the SEEK API was initially launched in Australia & New Zealand (ANZ), it was built to be extended to other markets within the SEEK Group .
      The SEEK API is now enabled across our Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets:
