Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## RemoteOK Jobs Scraper Extract current RemoteOK job listings into clean dataset rows for recruiting, market tracking, lead sourcing, and job-alert workflows. The actor supports two input modes: - Keyword search for broad current listings or matching roles such as `python` or `senior+devops`. - URL list mode for one or more RemoteOK listing URLs. ### Why use it - Wider filter surface than basic RemoteOK actors. - Keyword mode and URL mode in one actor. - Client-side sort choices for newest, oldest, salary, and company ordering. - Expanded normalized output with original fields preserved when `includeRawFields` is enabled. - Salary, company, location, age, and tag filters. - Optional MCP connector export to apps such as Notion, Linear, Airtable, and Apify. ### Input modes #### Keyword search Use keyword mode when you want matching jobs from current listings. - `searchTerms` accepts one or more terms. - Use `all jobs` for a broad run without keyword narrowing. - A value such as `senior+devops` requires all tokens to match in the listing text or tags. - Each search term is processed separately and capped by `maxItems`. #### URL list Use URL mode when you already know the listing URLs to read. Accepted examples: ```text https://remoteok.com/remote-react-jobs https://remoteok.com/remote-dev-jobs https://remoteok.com/remote-design-jobs https://remoteok.com/remote-dev-jobs?q=python&page=2 ```` Each URL is processed separately and capped by `maxItems`. ### Filters | Input | What it does | | --- | --- | | `tags` | Keeps jobs whose tag list contains at least one selected tag. | | `companies` | Keeps jobs whose company name contains one of your values. | | `locations` | Keeps jobs whose location text contains one of your values. | | `minSalary` | Keeps jobs whose salary range reaches at least this amount. | | `maxSalary` | Keeps jobs whose salary range starts at or below this amount. | | `postedWithinDays` | Keeps jobs posted within the selected age window. | | `requireSalary` | Keeps only rows with salary data. | | `sortBy` | Reorders saved rows by posting time, salary, or company. | | `maxPages` | Limits how many result pages are walked for each search term or source URL. | | `maxItems` | Maximum matching rows to save for each search term or source URL. It is a cap, not a guarantee. | ### Data you get Each row includes every core field exposed by basic RemoteOK actors and adds normalized helpers such as: - `jobId`, `title`, `companyName`, `locationText` - `postedAt`, `postedEpoch`, `postedAgeDays` - `salaryMid`, `hasSalary` - `descriptionText` - `tagCount`, `matchedSearchTokens`, `matchedTagFilters` - `sourceUrl`, `sourceType`, `searchTerm` When `includeRawFields` is enabled, the complete original job object is also kept in `raw`. ### MCP connector export The `mcpConnectors` field is optional. When connectors are selected, the actor writes the dataset first, then sends a condensed summary of saved jobs to the selected connectors. Connector failures do not change the dataset output. For Notion, also set `notionParentPageUrl`. Use `maxNotifyJobs` to cap how many saved jobs are sent to each connector. ### Example input Keyword search: ``` { "mode": "search", "searchTerms": ["all jobs"], "sortBy": "posted-desc", "maxItems": 20, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [] } } ``` URL list: ``` { "mode": "url", "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-dev-jobs" } ], "requireSalary": true, "sortBy": "salary-desc", "maxItems": 10, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [] } } ``` ### Example output ``` { "jobId": "1134146", "slug": "remote-hh2-biztech-1134146", "title": "hh2", "companyName": "Biztech", "locationText": "南港區, ", "postedAt": "2026-06-25T09:06:30+00:00", "salary_min": 0, "salary_max": 0, "hasSalary": false, "tags": ["project manager", "exec", "product manager", "dev", "medical", "digital nomad", "ops"], "url": "https://remoteOK.com/remote-jobs/remote-hh2-biztech-1134146", "applyUrl": "https://remoteOK.com/remote-jobs/remote-hh2-biztech-1134146", "sourceType": "search-term", "searchTerm": "react", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-26T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Connection Use the connection field only when your run environment needs a different route. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Use keyword search to filter current listings by terms, or URL mode to read one or more RemoteOK listing URLs directly. ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Enter job keywords or tag phrases such as python or senior+devops. Use all jobs for a broad default run. Each term is processed separately and capped by Max items. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Paste RemoteOK listing or tag URLs. Each URL is processed separately and capped by Max items. ## `tags` (type: `array`): Keep only jobs whose tag list contains at least one of these values. ## `companies` (type: `array`): Keep only jobs whose company name contains one of these values. ## `locations` (type: `array`): Keep only jobs whose location text contains one of these values. ## `minSalary` (type: `integer`): Keep only jobs whose salary range reaches at least this amount. ## `maxSalary` (type: `integer`): Keep only jobs whose salary range starts at or below this amount. ## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`): Keep only jobs posted within this many days. Leave empty for no age filter. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Client-side sort order applied after filtering. ## `requireSalary` (type: `boolean`): Keep only jobs where a salary range is present. ## `includeDescriptionText` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, the actor adds a cleaned plain-text version of the listing description. ## `includeRawFields` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, the actor keeps the full original job object alongside normalized fields. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum matching rows to save for each search term or start URL. This is a cap, not a guarantee. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Leave empty or 0 for unlimited. When a source has more matching jobs than fit in one results page, the actor walks additional pages until this cap or Max items is reached. ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Connection settings for environments that require a custom route. ## `mcpConnectors` (type: `array`): Optionally send scraped jobs into apps you already use via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector once under Apify Settings Integrations, then select it here. The connector receives a condensed summary per job; the full record stays in the dataset. Leave empty to skip. Supported: Notion, Linear, Airtable, and Apify. ## `notionParentPageUrl` (type: `string`): URL or id of the Notion page under which job pages are created. Required for Notion export; ignored by other connectors. ## `maxNotifyJobs` (type: `integer`): Cap on jobs written to each connector. Does not affect the dataset. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "searchTerms": [ "all jobs" ], "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-react-jobs" }, { "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-dev-jobs" } ], "sortBy": "posted-desc", "requireSalary": false, "includeDescriptionText": true, "includeRawFields": true, "maxItems": 20, "maxPages": 0, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [] }, "maxNotifyJobs": 50 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
