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

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### Use cases

- **Remote job boards and newsletters:** the newest RemoteOK jobs for your niche every day
- **Job seekers:** fresh remote jobs for your stack in one sheet
- **Salary research:** remote pay by tag
- **Recruiters:** which companies are hiring remotely right now

### Tips

- **How many jobs:** RemoteOK gives the newest 100 jobs per tag; enter several tags to cover more.
- **Daily feed:** schedule a run with **Date posted: last 24 hours**.
- **Link back:** RemoteOK asks that you link to each job (`url`) and name Remote OK as the source when you show its jobs.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI agents can run RemoteOK Scraper through the Apify MCP server. Ask for example "Get the newest remote React jobs from RemoteOK" and the agent starts the run with `{"keywords": ["react"], "maxResults": 100}`.

### FAQ

**How much does RemoteOK Scraper cost?**
You pay per job saved; the **Pricing** tab shows the price on your plan. Free accounts get $5 of usage every month.

**Do I need a RemoteOK account?**
No. The scraper reads only public job listings.

**Why do I get at most about 100 jobs per tag?**
That is how many recent jobs RemoteOK lists for a tag. Add more tags for more jobs.

**Is it legal to scrape RemoteOK?**
The scraper collects public job listings and removes emails and phone numbers from the text. Remote OK asks that you link back to each job and name it as the source; every row keeps the link. Check the rules that apply to how you use the data with your legal advisor. RemoteOK Scraper is not affiliated with or endorsed by Remote OK.

**Can I use it with the Apify API, Make, Zapier or n8n?**
Yes. Start runs and fetch results through the Apify API or any of the Apify integrations, and schedule runs to collect new jobs every day.

**Something does not work. What should I do?**
Open an issue on the **Issues** tab with your input, and we will look at it quickly.

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).
