## Pricing

from $0.69 / 1,000 jobs

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
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`).

Every row has the same fields in the same order as our other remote job scrapers; a field We Work Remotely does not give is `null` or an empty list. Dates are ISO 8601 in UTC.

### Use cases

- **Remote job boards and newsletters:** fresh We Work Remotely jobs by category every day
- **Job seekers:** every remote job for your skill in one sheet
- **Recruiters:** which companies are hiring remotely, by category and region
- **Market research:** remote demand by category and region

### Tips

- **Daily feed:** schedule a run with **Date posted: last 24 hours**.
- **Broad keywords match more:** the keyword is matched in the whole description, so `python` also finds jobs that only mention it.
- **Link back:** when you publish the jobs, link to each job (`url`) and name We Work Remotely as the source.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI agents can run We Work Remotely Scraper through the Apify MCP server. Ask for example "List remote design jobs from We Work Remotely posted this week" and the agent starts the run with `{"categories": ["remote-design-jobs"], "datePosted": "7", "maxResults": 100}`.

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).
