Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Remote Jobs Scraper — RemoteOK, Remotive, We Work Remotely & More

**Scrape every major remote-job board into one normalized JSON feed in a single run.** Remote OK, Remotive, Himalayas, We Work Remotely, Jobicy, and Working Nomads — titles, companies, categories, salaries where published, posting dates, full descriptions, and a direct link to every original listing.

| Job title | Company | Board | Location | Salary | Posted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senior DevOps Engineer | Lemon.io | remotive | Europe, LATAM | USD 60000–90000/yr | 2026-08-27 |
| Principal Software Architect | Testlio | jobicy | Remote | — | 2026-08-26 |
| Account Executive, Commercial | Zscaler | weworkremotely | Remote (US) | — | 2026-08-25 |
| AI Data Annotation Expert | micro1 | himalayas | Worldwide | — | 2026-08-28 |

### Why this scraper

- ✅ **Six boards, one schema** — no per-source parsing, field mapping, or RSS handling on your side
- ✅ **Official public APIs and feeds only** — no fragile HTML scraping, so results are complete and stable
- ✅ **Per-board isolation** — one board's outage never blocks the other five
- ✅ **Keyword filtering built in** — `"keywordFilter": "python"` returns only matching jobs across all boards
- ✅ **Source attribution on every record** — each job links back to its original listing
- ✅ **Automated health checks** — every board adapter is exercised continuously against the live feeds

### What you get

```json
{
  "id": "remotive:2087615",
  "board": "remotive",
  "title": "Senior DevOps Engineer",
  "company": "Lemon.io",
  "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-devops-engineer-2087615",
  "location": "Europe, LATAM",
  "categories": ["Software Development"],
  "tags": ["devops", "aws", "kubernetes"],
  "employmentType": "full_time",
  "salary": "USD 60000–90000 per year",
  "postedAt": "2026-08-27T14:02:11.000Z",
  "descriptionHtml": "<p>…</p>",
  "descriptionText": "…",
  "source": "Remotive",
  "sourceUrl": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-devops-engineer-2087615",
  "attribution": "Listing via Remotive (https://remotive.com)"
}
```

### How to scrape remote jobs from six boards at once

```json
{
  "boards": ["remoteok", "remotive", "himalayas", "jobicy", "workingnomads", "weworkremotely"],
  "keywordFilter": "engineer",
  "maxJobsPerBoard": 200
}
```

All fields optional — the default fetches everything from all six boards.

### Pricing

Pay only for results: **about $1 per 1,000 jobs** ($0.001 per job + a fractional start fee) — less on paid Apify plans (down to $0.75/1,000). A full six-board sweep of ~1,000 fresh listings costs roughly **$1**. No subscription.

### This actor vs the alternatives

| | This actor | Single-board scrapers | RSS readers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boards in one run | **6** | 1 | 1 per feed |
| Normalized cross-board schema | ✅ | n/a | ✗ |
| Salary + tags + categories parsed | ✅ | varies | ✗ |
| Keyword filter across all sources | ✅ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Attribution + original listing links | ✅ | varies | ✅ |
| Contact-scrubbed descriptions | ✅ | ✗ | ✗ |

### Use cases

- **Job boards & newsletters** — a fresh, multi-source feed for remote-work products
- **Job-search automation** — filter by keyword, pipe new matches to Slack, email, or Sheets on a schedule
- **Remote labor-market research** — track hiring volume, salaries, and categories over time
- **AI agents & RAG** — normalized JSON via API and the Apify MCP server; agentic payments supported

### Integrations

Run on a schedule with **Apify Schedules**; deliver with **webhooks** or the **Apify API** into Google Sheets, n8n, Make, Zapier, LangChain, or your own stack.

### FAQ

**How fresh is the data?** Live — every run reads each board's current public feed at that moment.

**Can I deduplicate across boards?** Yes — same role posted on two boards keeps distinct per-board ids; dedupe on `title` + `company` downstream if you want cross-board uniqueness.

**Can it alert me about new jobs?** Schedule it hourly/daily and diff against your last dataset, or fire webhooks per run.

**Where do application links go?** Always to the original listing (`url` / `sourceUrl`) — these boards earn their traffic from those links, and this actor is built to respect that. Any board that prefers not to be included is removed promptly on request.

**Why are some emails missing from descriptions?** Output is company-level data by design: stray recruiter contact details are automatically removed. The original listing (always linked) retains full application details.

**A board I need isn't here?** Open an issue on this actor — it goes straight to the maintainer, and new boards ship regularly.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call actorworks/remote-jobs-aggregator --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,actorworks/remote-jobs-aggregator"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
