salary-seeker's Issues

Failed to calculate salary range: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

URL
Just one example:
https://www.seek.com.au/job/67210946

Browser
Firefox 112

Description
Seems to be happening on every job I've clicked on today:

Salary (estimated): Failed to calculate salary range: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

No longer estimating salaries - seek look to have changed layout

Salary estimator no longer works, layout has changed on seek so not sure if that has impacted it?

On Firefox, salary keeps getting added over and over again.

Browser
Firefox

Description
The extension keeps adding the salary to the job multiple times.

Appears to be broken as of 13/03

Hello.

Extension no longer showing salaries in chrome, 13/03. The web-based version / tool of this still works, albeit slower than previous. Seek might have put some rate/delay in.

Doesn't appear to be working as of 5/04/2022

Manifest json is in the wrong folder and Chrome won't side-load

The manifest must be moved into the main folder or background.js moved into the Chrome folder.

URL
Provide the URL for the job. For example:

https://www.seek.com.au/job/12345678

Browser
Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or Edge

Describe what bug you are seeing.

Higher Salaries Not Reporting Correctly

After receiving an email from seek regarding being able to search higher salary brackets, I thought I'd give it a go.

I then noticed some discrepancies and think the extension may need an udpate

For example, there is this job, which clearly indicate the salary in the ad, and is visible when 350k+ is selected as a filter, however the extension is reporting $189,000 - $195,000

https://www.seek.com.au/job/58055183?type=standout#sol=9b2554a2ea81eed02d25f558aecccf584496db51

Firefox link in README is dead, and can't find extension in searching in the store.

Title 😢

New Ads posted on Seek.com.au aren't displaying salary correctly

It appears ad posted on seek.com.au since 28th July aren't displaying the salary range, the message that appears is:
Salary (estimated): Failed to calculate salary range: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
Tested previous days and they all still appear to be working.

Seek.co.nz

Seems like it always returns
$30,000 - $31,000
for seek.co.nz

No longer estimating salaries

Receiving the following error: Failed to calculate salary range: Unexpected token U in JSON at position 0

Using latest version on Chrome in Win 10

Salary (estimated): Failed to calculate salary range: Unsuccessful response: 500

Hi, just installed the extension and all jobs are showing like this. I tried refreshing the page several times, disabled my adblocker and it also doesn't show any jobs in the recent list.
