## 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`).

# README

## Remotive Jobs Scraper · Remote Jobs, No Login

Extract remote job postings from remotive.com: title, company, category, employment type, which countries can apply, and the full description. No login, no browser.

### What you can do with it

- **Monitor every open remote job on Remotive.** A single run reads the whole current list of open postings.
- **Filter to a role or team.** Use `keywords` to keep only postings whose title, company, category or description match, for example `react` or `marketing`.
- **Check geographic eligibility before applying.** `applicantCountries` lists exactly which countries a posting accepts; a short list means a real restriction (for example `["US"]`), a long one means effectively worldwide.
- **Feed a job alert or aggregator.** Remotive's own JSON API is off-limits to automated callers (see "Good to know"); this Actor reads the same postings through the public sitemap and job pages instead.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Keeps only postings whose title, company, category or description contain this text (case-insensitive). Empty means every posting. |
| `maxItems` | The run stops once this many postings are saved (default 50). |
| `includeDescriptions` | Adds the full job description as plain text (default on). |

Example input:

```json
{
  "keywords": "react",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "includeDescriptions": true
}
```

### Output

One record per posting:

```json
{
  "id": "remote-job-2069746",
  "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-development/tech-lead-full-stack-rails-engineer-2069746",
  "title": "Tech Lead Full-Stack Rails Engineer",
  "company": "Mitre Media",
  "companyUrl": "https://www.mitremedia.com",
  "category": "Software Development",
  "employmentType": "FULL_TIME",
  "remote": true,
  "applicantCountries": ["US", "CA", "GB", "..."],
  "datePosted": "2026-09-14T20:33:27+00:00",
  "validThrough": "2026-10-15T20:33:27+00:00",
  "description": "Role: Tech Lead Full-Stack Rails Engineer..."
}
```

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

### Why this one

- **Reads the postings that currently matter.** The open-postings sitemap, not a historical archive of closed jobs, so every run is about jobs you can actually apply to today.
- **No browser, no login.** The sitemap and job pages are plain HTTP, so runs are fast and cheap.
- **Geographic eligibility kept structured.** `applicantCountries` is parsed into a clean array instead of being buried in free text.

### Good to know

- Remotive's own JSON API (`/api/remote-jobs`) is disallowed to every automated caller by `robots.txt` and its usage terms ask for a paid plan starting at $5,000/month; this Actor never calls it. It reads the public job-postings sitemap and the job pages themselves instead, both open to `User-agent: *`.
- `title` has Remotive's own "\[Hiring] ... @Company" wrapper removed, since the company is already its own field.
- Any published salary is inside the free-text `description`, not a separate structured field: Remotive does not publish it in the page's structured data.
- A line that carries an e-mail address is dropped from the description.
- The dataset contains job postings only. Recruiter and candidate personal data is never exported.
- This is an unofficial tool, not affiliated with Remotive. Check the site terms that apply to your use.

### FAQ

**Does it cover every job on Remotive, or just a sample?**
Every currently open posting listed in Remotive's own job-postings sitemap, up to `maxItems`.

**Does it need a browser or a proxy?**
No. The sitemap and job pages answer plain HTTP requests, so runs are fast and cheap.

**Why is `applicantCountries` sometimes a huge list?**
Remotive asks employers for the countries they will accept applicants from; many choose "anywhere", which the site represents as a long list rather than a single "worldwide" flag. A short list means a real restriction.

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("bibian/remotive-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) => {

## CLI example

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

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,bibian/remotive-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).
