## 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

## Remote Jobs Aggregator — 6 remote job boards, one clean feed

Get every new remote job from **Remote OK, Himalayas, Jobicy, Working Nomads, We Work Remotely and Arbeitnow** (plus Remotive, opt-in) in a single, deduplicated JSON/CSV feed — filtered by keyword, location, salary and date. No browser, no proxies, no API keys.

Built for:

- **Job alerts** — run it on a schedule with *monitor mode* on and get only the jobs you haven't seen yet.
- **Job boards & newsletters** — fill a niche remote-jobs site or weekly digest with fresh, normalized listings.
- **Recruiters & sourcing teams** — see which companies are hiring remotely for a given skill right now.
- **AI agents & automations** — one call returns structured jobs with salary, location and apply links (works via the Apify MCP server).

### What you get

Each result is one job in a unified schema, regardless of source:

```json
{
  "id": "jobicy:153845",
  "source": "jobicy",
  "title": "Principal Software Engineer, Infrastructure Security",
  "company": "OpenAI",
  "companyLogo": "https://jobicy.com/data/.../logo.jpeg",
  "url": "https://jobicy.com/jobs/153845-principal-software-engineer-infrastructure-security",
  "applyUrl": "https://jobicy.com/jobs/153845-principal-software-engineer-infrastructure-security",
  "location": "USA",
  "employmentType": "Full-Time",
  "seniority": "Director",
  "category": "Cybersecurity",
  "tags": ["Cybersecurity"],
  "salaryMin": 401000,
  "salaryMax": 510000,
  "salaryCurrency": "USD",
  "salaryPeriod": "yearly",
  "publishedAt": "2026-09-21T16:31:47.000Z",
  "description": "About the Team\nSecurity is at the foundation of ...",
  "attribution": "Source: Jobicy (https://jobicy.com). Credit with a direct link required by Jobicy API terms."
}
```

Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or push it straight into Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable, Zapier or your own API using Apify integrations.

### Pricing

**$1.00 per 1,000 jobs** returned. That's it — no compute charges, no start fee beyond the platform's $0.00005 start event. A daily job-alert run that returns 30 new jobs costs about **$0.03**.

Free-plan users receive up to 50 jobs per run (a sample); paid plans have no cap.

### How to use it

1. Set **Keywords** (e.g. `react`, `product designer`, `devops`). Leave empty for all jobs.
2. Optionally narrow by **Location contains** (`USA`, `Europe`, `Worldwide`), **Minimum salary**, **Posted after**.
3. Pick **Sources** (all six are on by default).
4. Run it. For alerts, schedule it and turn on **Only new jobs since last run** — jobs you already received are never returned (or charged) again.

### Filters explained

| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Keep jobs whose title, company, tags or category contain **any** keyword (case-insensitive). |
| `excludeKeywords` | Drop jobs matching **any** of these. |
| `locationContains` | Keep jobs whose location text contains any value (e.g. `USA`, `Anywhere`, `Canada`). |
| `minSalary` | Keep jobs with a listed yearly salary ≥ this value. Jobs with no salary are dropped when set. |
| `postedAfter` | Only jobs published on/after the date. |
| `dedupeAcrossSources` | Same company + title appearing on several boards is returned once. |
| `onlyNewSinceLastRun` | Monitor mode for schedules — remembers what it already gave you. |
| `maxJobs`, `maxJobsPerSource` | Hard caps on output / fetching. |

### Sources & attribution

All data comes from the boards' own public feeds. Each result carries an `attribution` field — please keep the source link when you republish listings:

- Remote OK requires a follow link back and a "Remote OK" mention.
- Jobicy requires credit with a direct link and that apply buttons point to the original URL.
- Remotive (off by default) prohibits reposting to third-party job boards and asks for attribution. Only enable it if your use case complies.
- Himalayas, Working Nomads, We Work Remotely and Arbeitnow: standard link-back etiquette. Arbeitnow lists on-site roles too; only its remote-flagged jobs are included.

### Reliability

Sources are official JSON/RSS feeds — no fragile HTML scraping. Each source is fetched independently: if one board is down, you still get the others and the run's status message tells you which one failed. The run is only marked failed if **every** source fails.

### Tips

- Use with the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com) to let your AI agent ask "find me remote Rust jobs paying over $150k".
- Combine with a Google Sheets or Slack integration for a zero-code daily job alert.
- Turn off `includeDescription` for a lighter dataset when you only need titles and links.

### Need a source added?

Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab — sources with a public feed are usually added within a few days.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Return jobs whose title, company, tags or category contain ANY of these words. Case-insensitive. Example: \["react", "frontend"]. Leave empty for all jobs.

## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Drop jobs whose title, company, tags or category contain ANY of these words. Example: \["senior", "manager"].

## `locationContains` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose location text contains ANY of these values, e.g. \["USA", "Worldwide", "Europe"]. Leave empty for all locations.

## `minSalary` (type: `integer`):

Keep jobs whose listed salary (min or max) is at least this amount. Jobs without a listed salary are dropped when this is set.

## `postedAfter` (type: `string`):

Only jobs published on/after this date, e.g. 2026-09-01. Jobs with no date are kept.

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Which job boards to query. Arbeitnow lists on-site roles too, so only its remote-flagged jobs are used. Remotive is off by default because its API terms restrict reposting; enable it only if you comply (link back + credit Remotive).

## `maxJobsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Upper bound of jobs fetched from each source before filtering.

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs written to the dataset (after filtering and deduplication). You are charged per job written.

## `dedupeAcrossSources` (type: `boolean`):

The same posting often appears on several boards. When on, only one copy (same company + title) is kept.

## `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`):

Remembers jobs already returned in previous runs and outputs only new ones. Ideal for scheduled runs / job alerts. Nothing is charged for jobs you already received.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Include the plain-text job description in each result. Turn off for a lighter dataset.

## MCP server setup

```json

    "mcpServers": {

        }
    }
}
```

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).
