## 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 – Himalayas, Remote OK, We Work Remotely, Jobicy & Arbeitnow

Get fresh remote jobs from five remote job boards in one clean schema: **Himalayas, Remote OK, We Work Remotely,
Jobicy and Arbeitnow**. Filter by keyword, hiring region and minimum salary, get jobs newest first across all
boards, with duplicates (the same role posted on two boards) removed. An only-new mode turns it into a daily feed.

### What data can I get?

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `title`, `company`, `companyLogo` | `Frontend Engineer React and AWS`, `Numentica` |
| `locationText`, `anywhere` | `USA`, `false` (hiring region as the board states it; `anywhere: true` = open worldwide) |
| `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryPeriod` | `160000`, `176000`, `USD`, `year` |
| `employmentType`, `seniority`, `category`, `tags` | `Full-Time`, `Senior`, `Developer`, `["react", "aws"]` |
| `postedAt`, `expiresAt` | ISO dates |
| `source`, `sourceName`, `url`, `applyUrl` | `jobicy`, `Jobicy`, listing link, apply link |
| `description` | full job description as plain text |

### How much does it cost?

**$1.50 per 1,000 jobs.** You pay only for jobs delivered. A daily feed of 300 new remote jobs costs about $0.45 a day.

### How do I use it?

1. Pick boards (all five by default).
2. Optionally add keywords (`react`, `product designer`), hiring regions (`Europe`, `USA`, `anywhere`), a minimum
   yearly USD salary, or a posting window.
3. Run, then download JSON, CSV or Excel, or call the API.

```json
{
  "keywords": ["react", "typescript"],
  "locations": ["anywhere", "Europe"],
  "salaryMinYearlyUsd": 90000,
  "postedWithinDays": 7,
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

### How do I build a daily remote-jobs feed?

Turn on **Only new jobs** and schedule the Actor daily. Each run returns only jobs you haven't received before,
newest first, so you never pay twice for a job. Pipe the dataset to Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack or your site.

### How are salaries compared across boards?

Boards quote pay hourly, monthly or yearly. `salaryPeriod` keeps the original, and the minimum-salary filter
converts to yearly (hourly × 2,080, monthly × 12) before comparing. Jobs without a published USD salary are left out
when the salary filter is set.

### Crediting the boards

These boards publish their jobs through public APIs and feeds and ask that republished jobs **credit the board
and link to the original listing**. Every row carries `sourceName` and `url` for exactly that: if you show these
jobs on a site or in a newsletter, link each one to its `url` and mention its `sourceName`. Remotive is not included
because its API terms don't allow republishing.

### Use cases

- **Remote job boards and newsletters:** a deduplicated feed from five boards with salaries.
- **Job seekers:** one alert for every new remote role matching your stack and region.
- **Market research:** remote salary bands and hiring volume by category or region.
- **Recruiting and sales:** companies hiring remotely right now.

### FAQ

**Is it legal?** It reads each board's public API or RSS feed, the way those boards intend them to be used, and
keeps the attribution fields they ask for. No login, no personal data.

**Why do some boards return fewer jobs?** Each board's public feed exposes a different window: Remote OK about the
latest 100 jobs, We Work Remotely about the latest 90, Himalayas and Arbeitnow page back further.

**Do I need a proxy?** No. It runs at 256 MB without a proxy.

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).
