Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Himalayas Remote Jobs Scraper Scrape job listings from [Himalayas.app](https://himalayas.app) — one of the largest remote-first startup job boards, with 100,000+ active remote positions across engineering, product, design, marketing, and more. Extract structured data on job titles, companies, salary ranges, employment types, tech stacks, categories, posting dates, and direct application links — all without requiring login or API credentials. --- ### What You Can Do - **Search jobs by keyword** — find roles matching "python backend", "product manager", "data engineer", etc. - **Get all jobs for a company** — pull every open role at Stripe, GitLab, Zapier, or any company with a Himalayas profile. - **Enrich job URLs** — pass a list of specific Himalayas job URLs and get back fully structured data. - **Filter results** — narrow by employment type (full-time, part-time, contract, internship) and minimum salary. --- ### Output Fields Each scraped job record contains the following fields: | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `jobId` | string | Unique job identifier (from URL slug) | | `title` | string | Job title | | `company` | string | Hiring company name | | `companyUrl` | string | Link to the company's Himalayas profile | | `jobUrl` | string | Direct link to the job listing on Himalayas | | `location` | string | Country restrictions, or "Worldwide" if no restrictions | | `remotePolicy` | string | Always `"remote"` — all Himalayas jobs are remote | | `salaryMin` | integer | Annual salary minimum (when available) | | `salaryMax` | integer | Annual salary maximum (when available) | | `salaryCurrency` | string | ISO 4217 currency code (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP) | | `employmentType` | string | `full-time`, `part-time`, `contract`, or `internship` | | `techStack` | array | Skill/technology category tags | | `categories` | array | Broad function areas (e.g. Developer, Product, Design) | | `postedAt` | string | ISO 8601 UTC timestamp of when the job was posted | | `description` | string | Full job description (HTML) | | `applyUrl` | string | Direct application link | | `recordType` | string | Always `"job"` | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 UTC timestamp of when the record was scraped | --- ### Input Fields | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | select | `searchJobs` | What to scrape: `searchJobs`, `byCompany`, or `byJobUrls` | | `searchQuery` | string | — | Keyword search query (used in `searchJobs` mode) | | `companySlug` | string | — | Company slug for `byCompany` mode (e.g. `stripe`, `gitlab`) | | `jobUrls` | array | `[]` | List of Himalayas job URLs for `byJobUrls` mode | | `remotePolicy` | select | _(any)_ | Filter by remote policy: `remote`, `hybrid`, `in-person` | | `employmentType` | select | _(any)_ | Filter by type: `full-time`, `part-time`, `contract`, `internship` | | `minSalary` | integer | — | Minimum salary threshold (USD/year) — skips jobs below this | | `maxItems` | integer | `20` | Maximum number of job records to return | --- ### Example Inputs #### Search for software engineering roles ```json { "mode": "searchJobs", "searchQuery": "software engineer", "employmentType": "full-time", "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Get all open roles at a company ```json { "mode": "byCompany", "companySlug": "stripe", "maxItems": 100 } ``` #### Enrich specific job URLs ```json { "mode": "byJobUrls", "jobUrls": [ "https://himalayas.app/companies/stripe/jobs/backend-engineer-123", "https://himalayas.app/companies/gitlab/jobs/product-manager-456" ] } ``` #### Find high-paying contract roles ```json { "mode": "searchJobs", "searchQuery": "data scientist", "employmentType": "contract", "minSalary": 120000, "maxItems": 30 } ``` *** ### Use Cases - **Monitor startup hiring trends** — track which companies are growing and in what roles - **Find remote jobs in tech** — filter by keyword, employment type, and salary to find your next role - **Build a job aggregator** — combine Himalayas data with other job boards for comprehensive coverage - **Salary benchmarking** — analyze compensation ranges for specific roles, companies, and tech stacks - **Competitive intelligence** — watch what competitors or target companies are hiring for - **Academic research** — study remote work trends, demand for skills, and salary distributions - **Recruiting automation** — identify passive candidate pipelines by tracking who's hiring in a tech stack - **Career tools** — power job recommendation engines, resume analyzers, or career coaching platforms *** ### Frequently Asked Questions **Does this require login or API keys?** No. The Himalayas API is publicly accessible without authentication. This actor uses the official public API. **How fresh is the data?** Himalayas refreshes their job data every 24 hours. Each run of this actor fetches the latest available data. **What does the `remotePolicy` field show?** All listings on Himalayas are remote or remote-friendly by definition of the platform, so `remotePolicy` is always `"remote"`. The `location` field shows any geographic restrictions (e.g., "United States, Canada") or "Worldwide" if there are none. **How do I find a company's slug?** The slug is the part of the Himalayas company URL after `/companies/`. For example, `https://himalayas.app/companies/stripe` → slug is `stripe`. **What employment types does Himalayas have?** Full Time, Part Time, Contractor, Temporary, Intern, Volunteer, and Other. This actor normalizes them to: `full-time`, `part-time`, `contract`, `internship`. **Why are some salary fields missing?** Many job listings on Himalayas do not include salary information. Records without salary data will simply omit `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, and `salaryCurrency` rather than showing null values. **Can I scrape all available jobs?** Yes — use `mode=searchJobs` with no `searchQuery` and set `maxItems` to a high value. Himalayas has 100,000+ active listings. Note: the API returns up to 20 jobs per request, so large scrapes take time. **Does this work with proxy?** No proxy is needed. Himalayas's public API is accessible from standard IP addresses without restrictions. **What is the rate limit?** Himalayas enforces a rate limit of 60 requests per minute. This actor includes automatic retry with back-off if rate limits are hit. *** ### Legal This actor uses Himalayas's public API as documented at [himalayas.app/docs/remote-jobs-api](https://himalayas.app/docs/remote-jobs-api). Always credit Himalayas as the data source when displaying results publicly. Review [Himalayas Terms of Service](https://himalayas.app/terms) before using scraped data commercially. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to scrape. `searchJobs` — keyword search with filters. `byCompany` — all jobs for a company slug. `byJobUrls` — enrich a list of specific job URLs. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text keyword query (used in `searchJobs` mode). Example: `python backend`, `product manager`, `data scientist`. ## `companySlug` (type: `string`): Canonical company slug from Himalayas (e.g. `stripe`, `gitlab`, `zapier`). Used only in `byCompany` mode. ## `jobUrls` (type: `array`): List of Himalayas job page URLs to enrich (e.g. `https://himalayas.app/companies/stripe/jobs/some-role`). Used only in `byJobUrls` mode. ## `remotePolicy` (type: `string`): Filter by remote policy. Himalayas is a remote-first platform — all listed jobs are remote. Leave blank to return all, or select `remote` to confirm remote-only results. ## `employmentType` (type: `string`): Filter results by employment type. Leave blank to return all. ## `minSalary` (type: `integer`): Exclude jobs whose maximum salary is below this value. Jobs without salary data are also excluded when this filter is set. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on the number of job records emitted. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "searchJobs", "searchQuery": "software engineer", "jobUrls": [], "remotePolicy": "", "employmentType": "", "maxItems": 5 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `jobs` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped remote job records. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
