## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Remote Jobs Scraper: 7 Boards in One Feed

**Every remote job from the top remote job boards in one clean, de-duplicated feed:** [Himalayas](https://himalayas.app), [RemoteOK](https://remoteok.com), [Remotive](https://remotive.com), [Jobicy](https://jobicy.com), [We Work Remotely](https://weworkremotely.com), [Working Nomads](https://www.workingnomads.com) and [Arbeitnow](https://www.arbeitnow.com). Filter by keyword, candidate location, salary and posting date. **Monitor mode** gives you only new jobs on each scheduled run.

- ✅ **7 remote job boards**, one normalized output format.
- ✅ **Cross-board de-duplication.** A job posted on several boards appears once, with `alsoPostedOn` listing the others.
- ✅ **Location filter that makes sense for remote work**: "open to candidates in the United States / Europe / UK", with worldwide jobs always included.
- ✅ **Salary filter.** Hourly and monthly pay are converted to yearly, so "$100k+" works everywhere.
- ✅ **Monitor mode** for daily alerts, job-board feeds and newsletters.
- ✅ **Fast and reliable.** Uses the boards' official public APIs and feeds: no browser, no proxies.
- 💲 **$1 per 1,000 jobs.**

### Use cases

- **Remote job boards and newsletters**: fill your site or weekly email with fresh remote jobs automatically.
- **Job seekers**: one daily feed of new remote roles that match your skills, location and salary.
- **Recruiters and sales teams**: see which companies are hiring remotely right now.
- **Market research**: remote salary ranges, most-hired roles, and location policies.

### Input example

```json
{
    "keywords": ["python", "data engineer"],
    "excludeKeywords": ["intern"],
    "locations": ["United States", "Europe"],
    "postedWithinDays": 7,
    "minSalary": 100000,
    "includeDescription": true
}
```

Leave **keywords** empty to get all remote jobs. Choose which boards to search with **Job boards**.

### Output example

```json
{
    "id": "himalayas:https://himalayas.app/companies/nvidia/jobs/senior-software-engineer-cuda-python",
    "source": "himalayas",
    "title": "Senior Software Engineer, CUDA Python Core Libraries",
    "companyName": "NVIDIA",
    "companyLogo": "https://cdn-images.himalayas.app/...",
    "url": "https://himalayas.app/companies/nvidia/jobs/...",
    "applyUrl": "https://himalayas.app/companies/nvidia/jobs/...",
    "locations": ["Canada", "United States"],
    "isWorldwide": false,
    "employmentType": "Full Time",
    "category": "Software Engineering",
    "tags": ["Python", "CUDA"],
    "seniority": "Senior",
    "salaryMin": 184000,
    "salaryMax": 287500,
    "salaryCurrency": "USD",
    "salaryPeriod": "annual",
    "postedAt": "2026-09-27T14:02:11.000Z",
    "descriptionText": "NVIDIA is looking for...",
    "descriptionHtml": "<p>NVIDIA is looking for...</p>",
    "alsoPostedOn": ["remoteok"],
    "scrapedAt": "2026-09-28T22:18:51.004Z"
}
```

The `SOURCES_REPORT` record in the key-value store shows how many jobs matched on each board, and any board errors. One board failing never stops the run.

### Monitor mode

Turn on **Monitor mode**, give it a name, and [schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) the Actor daily. Each run returns only jobs you haven't received before. Send them to Slack, email, Google Sheets, Notion, Zapier, Make or n8n with Apify integrations.

### Pricing

**$0.001 per job ($1 per 1,000)**, with full descriptions included. Filtering and de-duplication happen before billing, so you only pay for jobs you receive.

### Notes

Job data belongs to the listed boards. Keep each job's `url` when you republish so candidates apply on the original board (several boards ask for this in their API terms).

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Job titles or skills, e.g. "python", "product designer", "customer support". A job matches if its title, category or tags contain any keyword. Leave empty for all remote jobs.

## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Drop jobs whose title contains any of these, e.g. "senior", "intern".

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Boards to search. All are selected by default.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs open to candidates in these places (e.g. "United States", "Europe", "UK", "Canada"). Worldwide/anywhere jobs are always kept.

## `worldwideOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs that accept candidates from anywhere.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

0 = any time.

## `minSalary` (type: `integer`):

Keep only jobs with a published salary at or above this (hourly/monthly pay is converted to yearly). 0 = no filter; jobs without salary are kept only when this is 0.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Adds the description as text and HTML.

## `dedupeAcrossSources` (type: `boolean`):

The same job posted on several boards is returned once, with the other boards listed in alsoPostedOn.

## `onlyNewJobs` (type: `boolean`):

Return only jobs not returned in previous runs. Schedule the Actor for a daily feed of new remote jobs.

## `monitorStateName` (type: `string`):

Use a different name for each separate monitor.

## `maxItemsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

0 = no limit.

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

0 = no limit.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": [
    "python",
    "data engineer"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerSource": 50
}' |
apify call datafetch_labs/remote-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,datafetch_labs/remote-jobs-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
