## 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.

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

## Remotive Jobs Scraper

Scrape remote job listings from [Remotive](https://remotive.com) by keyword and category, using its public JSON API. No API key, no login, no anti-bot.

The API returns up to your requested `limit` of jobs in a single response, so runs are fast and cheap. Each job description is cleaned from HTML down to readable plain text.

### What you get per job

`id`, `title`, `company`, `companyLogo`, `category`, `jobType`, `location` (candidate required location), `salary`, `tags`, `publishedAt`, `description` (HTML stripped to text), and `url`.

**Nullable fields:** Remotive does not populate every field on every listing. `salary`, `companyLogo`, `jobType`, `category` and `location` are frequently `null` (especially `salary`), `tags` may be an empty array, and any of the text fields can be `null` if the source omits them. `id`, `title` and `url` are almost always present. This is normal for job boards — you only pay per returned row, never for the missing fields.

### Input

| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| `search` | Keywords (title / company / tags / description). Optional. Leave empty to list the latest jobs. |
| `category` | Remotive category **slug** to filter by, e.g. `software-development`, `design`, `marketing`, `sales`, `product`, `data`, `devops`. Optional. |
| `maxItems` | Max jobs to return. Used directly as the API `limit`. Default 100, up to 500. |

#### Category slugs

`software-development`, `customer-service`, `design`, `marketing`, `sales`, `product`, `business`, `data`, `devops`, `finance-legal`, `human-resources`, `qa`, `writing`, `all-others`, and more. The full live list is at `https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs/categories`.

### Output

One dataset row per job, deduplicated by `id`. An empty search/category returns a single diagnostic row and **is not charged**.

### Example

Input:

```json
{ "search": "python", "category": "software-development", "maxItems": 30 }
````

Sample output row:

```json
{
  "ok": true,
  "id": 1234567,
  "title": "Senior Python Engineer",
  "company": "Acme Remote Inc.",
  "companyLogo": "https://remotive.com/logos/acme.png",
  "category": "Software Development",
  "jobType": "full_time",
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "salary": null,
  "tags": ["python", "django", "aws"],
  "publishedAt": "2026-06-01T12:00:00",
  "description": "We are hiring a senior Python engineer...",
  "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-python-engineer-1234567"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: you are charged once per job row returned (`ok: true`). Runs that return no jobs (empty search/category) or fail (network/block) push a single uncharged diagnostic row (`ok: false`) and **are never charged**.

### Troubleshooting

- **Empty results / a single `ok: false` row** — no jobs matched your `search` + `category`. Try broader keywords, drop the category, or confirm the category slug against `https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs/categories`.
- **`RATE_LIMITED` / `NETWORK` diagnostic** — the public API briefly throttled or was unreachable; the actor retried with backoff. Re-run, lower `maxItems`, or enable a proxy only if it persists.

### Notes

The Remotive API returns all matching jobs in one response (there is no page parameter), so `maxItems` is passed straight through as the `limit`. Keep it to a few hundred at most. The actor sends `User-Agent: dami-studios-actor` as requested by Remotive.

# Actor input Schema

## `search` (type: `string`):

Keywords to search remote jobs for (matches title, company, tags and description), e.g. "python", "react developer", "product manager". Leave empty to list the most recent jobs (optionally narrowed by Category).

## `category` (type: `string`):

Optional Remotive category slug to filter by. Examples: software-development, customer-service, design, marketing, sales, product, business, data, devops, finance-legal, hr, qa, writing, all-others. Leave empty for all categories.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to return. Used directly as the API limit, so the actor fetches them in a single request. Keep it to a few hundred at most.

## `notionConnector` (type: `string`):

Optional. Write each job as a page into your Notion when the run finishes. Authorize a Notion connector once in Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors, then pick it here. Leave empty to skip (default) — results are always saved to the dataset regardless.

## `notionParentId` (type: `string`):

Optional. The Notion data source ID of the database to write into (only used if a Notion connector is set). Leave empty to create the pages privately in your workspace instead.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. The Remotive API is public with no anti-bot, so no proxy is needed and it is OFF by default. Only enable a proxy if you hit IP rate limits.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "search": "python",
  "category": "",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Scraped rows are stored in the default dataset (one row per result). Blocked/empty/error runs return a single uncharged diagnostic row instead.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "search": "python"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("dami_studio/remotive-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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "search": "python" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("dami_studio/remotive-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
