## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

### FAQ

**What data source does this actor use?**
This actor uses the [Working Nomads public API](https://www.workingnomads.com/api/exposed_jobs/) — a free, open endpoint with no authentication required.

**Does it require a proxy or credentials?**
No. The Working Nomads API is fully open and works without any credentials, cookies, or proxy configuration.

**How current is the data?**
Jobs are fetched live from the Working Nomads API at the time of each run. New jobs appear within hours of posting.

**Can I search by keyword?**
Yes. Use `mode=search` with a `query` parameter. Keyword matching is applied across title, description, tags, and company name.

**Does the category filter work server-side?**
Yes. The `category` parameter is passed directly to the Working Nomads API for server-side filtering, with additional client-side filtering applied for accuracy.

**How many jobs are available?**
Working Nomads typically lists dozens to hundreds of fresh remote jobs at any time across all categories.
