## 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

## We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper

Scrapes remote job listings from We Work Remotely's category RSS feeds and exports structured data: job title, company, region, category, headquarters, salary range, full description text, and a direct apply link. Built for recruiters, remote job board operators, and anyone tracking remote hiring trends who needs clean listing data without parsing RSS/XML themselves.

### Why this scraper

- Covers the same core fields as other WWR scrapers on the market — title, company, salary, location, category, full description — at $0.001 per job, roughly a quarter to a fifth of what comparable scrapers charge per result.
- Reads from We Work Remotely's public RSS feeds, which require no login, no JavaScript rendering, and no bot-challenge handling, so runs are simple and consistent.
- No personal data collected — only public job posting content and company information.

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| job\_title | string | Job title as posted |
| company\_name | string | Hiring company name |
| region | string | Allowed work region, e.g. "Anywhere in the World" |
| category | string | WWR job category, e.g. Full-Stack Programming |
| headquarters | string | Company headquarters location as listed in the posting |
| description\_text | string | Plain-text job description with HTML tags stripped |
| salary\_min | number | Minimum salary if a range is stated in the posting (null if not stated) |
| salary\_max | number | Maximum salary if a range is stated in the posting (null if not stated) |
| posted\_at | string | Publication date/time of the listing (ISO 8601) |
| job\_url | string | Direct URL to the job posting on weworkremotely.com |
| source | string | Source site name, always "weworkremotely.com" |

### Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs.rss" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

### Output

```json
{
  "job_title": "Manager, Sales Strategy & Planning",
  "company_name": "Airtable",
  "region": "Anywhere in the World",
  "category": "Full-Stack Programming",
  "headquarters": "Remote - US",
  "description_text": "Headquarters: Remote - US Airtable is the no-code app platform that empowers people closest to the work to accelerate their most critical business processes... [full plain-text job description, HTML stripped] ...To apply: https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/airtable-manager-sales-strategy-planning",
  "salary_min": null,
  "salary_max": null,
  "posted_at": "2026-07-22T07:01:32+00:00",
  "job_url": "https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/airtable-manager-sales-strategy-planning",
  "source": "weworkremotely.com"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$0.001 per job scraped**, charged once per job listing item extracted. A run pulling 50 listings from one category feed costs about $0.05.

### Use cases

- Feeding a remote-job aggregator or newsletter with fresh listings from a specific WWR category (e.g. programming, design, customer support) on a schedule.
- Sales lead generation for recruiting or HR tech vendors, using company\_name and headquarters to build outreach lists of companies actively hiring remote.
- Tracking remote salary ranges by category over time using salary\_min/salary\_max and posted\_at across repeated runs.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ahmdshrif/weworkremotely-jobs-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("ahmdshrif/weworkremotely-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call ahmdshrif/weworkremotely-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

```

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).
