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 ## Remote Jobs Scraper Scrape remote job listings from **Remotive**, a curated platform for remote positions across software development, design, marketing, data, and more. Browse all available jobs or search by keyword, category, location, and job type — with no authentication or API key required. ### Data Source This actor uses the **Remotive public API** (`https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs`), which provides free, open access to remote job listings. Remotive aggregates vetted remote positions from companies worldwide. ### Features - **Browse mode** — retrieve all currently available remote jobs - **Search mode** — filter by keyword, category, location, and employment type - Extract full job details: title, company, salary, tags/skills, description, and apply URL - Filter by employment type: Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Freelance, Internship - Filter by location requirement (e.g., USA, Europe, Worldwide) - No API key or account required — runs on the Apify free plan ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `mode` | select | `browse` (all jobs) or `search` (filtered) — **required** | | `query` | string | Free-text keyword to match title, tags, and description | | `category` | select | Filter by job category (e.g., Software Development, Design) | | `location` | string | Filter by candidate location (e.g., `USA`, `Europe`, `Worldwide`) | | `jobType` | select | Employment type filter (Full-time, Contract, Freelance, etc.) | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum records to return (1–10,000, default 100) | #### Example Input — Browse all jobs ```json { "mode": "browse", "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Example Input — Search Python jobs in the USA ```json { "mode": "search", "query": "python developer", "location": "USA", "jobType": "Full-time", "maxItems": 20 } ``` ### Output Each record in the dataset contains: | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `id` | string | Unique job ID | | `title` | string | Job title | | `companyName` | string | Hiring company name | | `companyLogo` | string | URL to company logo image | | `category` | string | Job category (e.g., Software Development) | | `jobType` | string | Employment type | | `tags` | array | Skills and technologies (up to 20) | | `location` | string | Required candidate location | | `salary` | string | Salary range if provided | | `description` | string | Plain-text job description | | `publicationDate` | string | Date job was posted (ISO 8601) | | `jobUrl` | string | URL to the job listing on Remotive | | `applyUrl` | string | URL to apply for the job | | `remote` | boolean | Always `true` — all Remotive jobs are remote | | `sourceUrl` | string | Source URL | | `recordType` | string | Always `"job"` | | `scrapedAt` | string | UTC timestamp of when the record was scraped | #### Example Output Record ```json { "id": "2090899", "title": "Senior Python Developer", "companyName": "TechCorp", "category": "Software Development", "jobType": "Full-time", "tags": ["python", "django", "aws", "backend"], "location": "USA, Canada", "salary": "$120k - $160k", "description": "We are looking for a Senior Python Developer to join our team...", "publicationDate": "2026-05-20T10:00:00", "jobUrl": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-python-developer-123", "applyUrl": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-python-developer-123", "remote": true, "sourceUrl": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-python-developer-123", "recordType": "job", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-30T12:00:00+00:00" } ``` ### FAQ **Q: Do I need an API key or account?** No. Remotive's job API is completely public and free to use. **Q: How many jobs are available?** Remotive typically lists 100–500 active remote jobs at any time. The actual count depends on current job market activity. **Q: Can I filter by multiple categories?** Currently, the API supports one category filter per run. To get multiple categories, run the actor separately for each. **Q: Is the description in HTML?** No. The actor strips all HTML tags and returns clean plain text. **Q: How often is the data updated?** Remotive updates their job board continuously. Run the actor daily to get fresh listings. **Q: What job types are available?** Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Freelance, Internship, and Temporary. **Q: Can I search by company name?** Use the `query` field with the company name — it searches across title, description, and tags. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch: browse all remote jobs or search with filters. ## `query` (type: `string`): Free-text keyword to search in job title, tags, and description (mode=search). ## `category` (type: `string`): Filter jobs by category. ## `location` (type: `string`): Filter by candidate-required location (e.g. 'USA', 'Europe', 'Worldwide', 'Brazil'). ## `jobType` (type: `string`): Filter by employment type. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of job records to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "browse", "category": "", "jobType": "", "maxItems": 100 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `jobs` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped remote job records. # API 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "mode": "browse", "category": "", "jobType": "", "maxItems": 100 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/remote-com-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) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
