## Pricing

Pay per event

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

## 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

**Get Remote Jobs Aggregator job listings as clean JSON, CSV or Excel, from the Apify API or on a schedule. No login, about $2.00 for 1,000 jobs, $5.00 with full descriptions.**

### What does Remote Jobs Aggregator do?

**Remote Jobs Aggregator** extracts structured data from **[weworkremotely.com](https://weworkremotely.com)**. Collect current remote job listings from We Work Remotely, Working Nomads and Jobicy in one clean schema (title, company, location, category, tags, job type, salary where published, date, description), de-duplicated per board, with keyword, location and date filters. It works
as an **API for weworkremotely.com data**: run it from Apify Console, on a schedule, or from your own code, and get clean,
typed JSON with numbers as numbers and dates in ISO 8601.

### What you get

| | |
|---|---|
| **Data** | 17 fields per item: `board`, `url`, `title`, `company`, `location`, `category`, ... |
| **Formats** | JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or the Apify API |
| **Price** | $2.00 per 1,000 jobs, $5.00 with full descriptions, pay per result |
| **Access** | Public weworkremotely.com data only: no login, no cookies, robots.txt respected |
| **Licence** | Each listing stays credited to its board with its original URL (Jobicy's API fair use asks for this; https://jobicy.com/jobs-rss-feed, section Fair use) |

### Why use Remote Jobs Aggregator?

- **Recruiters and staffing agencies**: see which companies are hiring, for which roles and where, and reach out first.
- **Job aggregators and job boards**: feed fresh, de-duplicated listings into your own board on a schedule.
- **Market research and HR analytics**: track hiring trends, salaries (where published), locations and remote share.
- **AI agents and RAG**: give an LLM live, structured job data instead of stale web pages.

Main features:

- Gets each source's results in as few requests as possible and stops at `maxItems` results.
- Filters: `keywords` (keywords), `excludeKeywords` (exclude keywords), `location` (location), `remoteOnly` (remote only), `postedAfter` (posted after), `boards` (job boards), `onlyChanges` (only changes since the last run), `includeDescription` (include description), `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (only new jobs since the last run), so you only get (and pay for) the results you need.
- Polite by default: respects robots.txt, at most `maxConcurrency` parallel requests and a delay between requests.
- Checks every result against field validators, so layout changes show up as clear data-quality warnings.
- Runs on the Apify platform: scheduling, API access, integrations, monitoring and datasets you can export.

### What data can Remote Jobs Aggregator extract?

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `board` | string | We Work Remotely, Working Nomads or Jobicy (the source, credited) |
| `url` | string | The job on its board (keep this link: the boards ask to be credited) |
| `title` | string | Job title |
| `company` | string | Company |
| `location` | string | Where the remote job is open, as published |
| `category` | string | Board category |
| `tags` | array | Tags or industries |
| `jobTypes` | array | Full-Time, Contract, ... (Jobicy) |
| `level` | string | Seniority (Jobicy) |
| `salaryMin` | number | Minimum salary, when published |
| `salaryMax` | number | Maximum salary, when published |
| `salaryCurrency` | string | Salary currency, when published |
| `salaryPeriod` | string | yearly, monthly, hourly, ... |
| `postedAt` | ISO 8601 date | Publication date (ISO 8601) |
| `description` | string | Full description text (with Include description only) |
| `changeType` | string | new, changed, unchanged, closed since the last run with the same input |
| `changes` | object | What changed since the last run: {field: {from, to}} |

### How to scrape weworkremotely.com

1. Open Remote Jobs Aggregator in Apify Console and go to the Input tab.
2. Enter what to scrape (see the Input section below), for example the start URLs.
3. Set **Max items** to the number of results you need.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download the results from the Output tab, or fetch them with the API.

### How much will it cost to scrape weworkremotely.com?

This Actor is priced **per result**: $2.00 per 1,000 results, with no extra charge for platform usage. That is about $2.00 for 1,000 jobs, $5.00 with full descriptions: 100 results cost $0.20 and 10,000 results cost $20.00. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops when it is reached. With **Include description** on, each job comes with its full description text and is priced **$5.00 per 1,000 results** (job with description). Filters (companies, keywords, location, remote only, posted after, only new jobs) run **before** charging: you never pay for jobs you filtered out.

### Input

See the Input tab for full configuration options.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `keywords` | array | no | Keep jobs whose title (and description, when 'Include description' is on) contains any of these words. Case-insensitive. |
| `excludeKeywords` | array | no | Drop jobs whose title (and description, when on) contains any of these words. |
| `location` | string | no | Keep jobs whose location contains this text, e.g. 'Berlin' or 'United States'. |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | no | Keep only remote jobs (location says Remote/Anywhere, or the source marks the job as remote). |
| `postedAfter` | string | no | Keep jobs posted on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Jobs without a date are kept. |
| `boards` | array | no | Which boards to read (all three by default): We Work Remotely, Working Nomads, Jobicy. |
| `onlyChanges` | boolean | no | For scheduled runs: return (and pay for) only new, changed and closed records, compared with the last run with the same input. The snapshot is kept in a named key-value store; delete it to start over. |
| `includeDescription` | boolean | no | Add the full job description text. Priced as 'job with description'. |
| `onlyNewSinceLastRun` | boolean | no | For scheduled runs: skip jobs this same input already returned. The IDs are kept in a named key-value store; delete it to start over. |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | Maximum number of items to return (0 = unlimited). |
| `startUrls` | array | no | Feed URLs on any of the three boards (optional; replaces the default feeds, e.g. one We Work Remotely category feed). |
| `maxPages` | integer | no | Maximum listing pages to follow per start URL (pagination). |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | no | Maximum parallel requests (politeness; 1-10). |
| `requestDelayMs` | integer | no | Minimum delay between requests, in milliseconds (at least 250). |
| `proxyType` | string | no | none (direct connection), datacenter (Apify Proxy, cheapest) or residential (opt-in, billed per GB, fewer blocks). The actor never switches by itself. |
| `proxyCountry` | string | no | Two-letter country code for the proxy IP (optional). |

Example input:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 240,
  "maxPages": 2,
  "maxConcurrency": 2,
  "requestDelayMs": 1500,

### Integrations and API

- **Apify API**: start a run and get the results in one HTTP request:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/compass_lab~remote-jobs-aggregator/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"maxItems": 240, "includeDescription": true}'
```

- **Python** (`pip install apify-client`):

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("compass_lab/remote-jobs-aggregator").call(run_input={"maxItems": 240, "includeDescription": true})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

- **JavaScript** (`npm install apify-client`):

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('compass_lab/remote-jobs-aggregator').call({"maxItems": 240, "includeDescription": true});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
```

- **Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, webhooks**: use the Apify integrations (Integrations tab) to send each
  run's results where you need them, or to start a run from your workflow.
- **Schedules**: run it hourly, daily or weekly from Apify Console (Schedules) and always have fresh jobs.

### Tips and advanced options

- Keep **Max items** and **Max pages** as low as you need: fewer pages means a faster, cheaper run.
- Raise **Delay between requests** if the site responds slowly; keep **Max concurrency** low to stay polite.
- Missing values are `null`. Fields that often come back empty are listed in the run log as data-quality warnings.
- **Companies**: type company names (`Stripe`, `Acme Inc`) or paste job board URLs. Names are matched the way
  the platform writes them (`Stripe Inc` -> `stripe`); a company that can't be found is named in the log and skipped.
- **Daily monitoring**: schedule the Actor with **Only new jobs since the last run** on. Each run returns only jobs
  it hasn't returned before for the same input. The IDs are kept in a named key-value store called
  `<actor-name>-seen-<id>` (the run log prints its name); delete that store in Storage > Key-value stores, or change
  the input, to start over.
- **Filters before charging**: keywords, exclude keywords, location, remote only and posted after are applied before
  a job is saved, so filtered-out jobs cost nothing.

### Track changes

Schedule the Actor (for example every morning) with **Only changes since the last run** on. Each run then returns,
and charges for, only the jobs that moved since the previous run with the same input:

- `new`: a job this input hadn't returned before;
- `changed`: same job, but its title, location, salary, type or department changed; `changes` says what, e.g.
  `{"salaryMax": {"from": 90000, "to": 100000}}`;
- `closed`: a job returned last time that is gone now (charged like a job). Closed jobs are reported only when the
  run read the whole board: raise **Max pages** if a board has more pages than it allows.

Without that option every job is returned as usual, each marked `new`, `changed` or `unchanged`.

Add it to your usual input, e.g. `"onlyChanges": true`.

The last snapshot is kept in a named key-value store called `<actor-name>-watch-<id>` (the run log prints its name).
To start over, delete that store in Storage > Key-value stores, or change the input. **Only new jobs since the last
run** still works as before (new jobs only, its own store).

### FAQ, disclaimers and support

#### Is it legal to scrape weworkremotely.com?

Three targets of the remote-job-boards family confirmed by Mouad, each vetted green on its own (robots.txt permits each feed path; public endpoints, no login). Jobicy's API fair use is kept: Jobicy credited (`board`) and its canonical job URL kept on every record; feeds read politely.

The data is published under the **Each listing stays credited to its board with its original URL (Jobicy's API fair use asks for this; https://jobicy.com/jobs-rss-feed, section Fair use)**: you may reuse it, including commercially, provided you credit the source as the licence requires.

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location.
They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our Actors, when used
for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain
personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the
world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether
your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

#### How many results can I get?

Up to `maxItems` per run (0 means no limit), as many as the source lists. Each result is one dataset item, and
you are only charged for items that are saved.

#### Can I run it on a schedule or from my own code?

Yes. Schedule it in Apify Console (Schedules), or call it with the `run-sync-get-dataset-items` endpoint or the
Python/JavaScript clients shown in **Integrations and API** above.

#### What are the limitations?

- None identified so far.

#### Where can I get help?

Report problems or ideas on the Issues tab. To call this Actor from your own code, see the API tab.
