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 ## RemoteOK Jobs Scraper — 100K+ Remote Job Listings ⭐ **Found this useful?** [Leave a review](https://apify.com/cryptosignals/remoteok-scraper#reviews) — it helps other developers find this actor and motivates continued improvement. --- Scrape remote job listings from [RemoteOK](https://remoteok.com) — one of the world's largest remote-only job boards.

Failed runs cost $0. *** ### Code Examples #### Python — Scrape Python Jobs ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("cryptosignals/remoteok-scraper").call(run_input={ "tags": "python", "maxItems": 50, }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(f"{item['title']} at {item['company']} — {item['salary']}") ``` #### Node.js — Monitor New Remote Jobs ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('cryptosignals/remoteok-scraper').call({ tags: 'javascript,typescript', maxItems: 30, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(`Found ${items.length} remote JS/TS jobs`); ``` *** ### Popular Tech Tags RemoteOK supports hundreds of tags. Common ones: | Category | Tags | |----------|------| | Backend | `python`, `nodejs`, `ruby`, `golang`, `java`, `php`, `rust` | | Frontend | `javascript`, `typescript`, `react`, `vue`, `angular` | | Mobile | `ios`, `android`, `reactnative`, `flutter` | | Data/AI | `machinelearning`, `datascience`, `ai`, `llm` | | DevOps | `devops`, `kubernetes`, `docker`, `aws`, `gcp` | | Design | `design`, `ux`, `figma` | | Product | `product`, `productmanager` | *** ### FAQ #### Does this require a RemoteOK account? No. Uses the public RemoteOK API — no login, no API key, no account needed. #### How current is the data? Results are fetched in real-time when you run the actor. RemoteOK updates listings continuously. #### Can I get salary data? Yes, when companies disclose it. The `salary` field is populated when available. #### What's the maximum number of results? RemoteOK's API returns up to 100 recent jobs per tag. With multiple tags, you can get 500+ results. Use `maxItems` to cap the output. #### How is this different from other job scrapers? RemoteOK is **remote-only** — every listing is a fully remote position. This makes the data much cleaner for remote-focused research than LinkedIn or Indeed where remote vs on-site filtering is inconsistent. *** ### 🔗 See Also - **[LinkedIn Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/cryptosignals/linkedin-jobs-scraper)** — 1M+ LinkedIn job listings, salary data, company info - **[Indeed Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/cryptosignals/indeed-jobs-scraper)** — Indeed.com listings across US, UK, Canada, Australia, and more *** ### ⭐ Support This Actor If this actor saved you time, please **[leave a quick review](https://apify.com/cryptosignals/remoteok-scraper#reviews)** — it takes 30 seconds and helps others discover it. *** *Built and maintained by [cryptosignals](https://apify.com/cryptosignals).* # Actor input Schema ## `tags` (type: `string`): Comma-separated technology tags to filter jobs (e.g., 'python,javascript,react').
