They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Scraper - Remote Jobs, Salaries & Companies Extract every current listing from RemoteOK, one of the largest remote job boards. ### What you can do with it - **Build a job board or aggregator** - a refreshed feed you can publish to your own site. - **Recruiting and talent research** - see who is hiring for what, and at what salary. - **Salary benchmarking** - structured min/max salary and currency where published. - **Lead generation** - companies actively hiring are companies actively spending. - **Feed an AI agent or RAG pipeline** - flat records with clean description text. ### Input Every field is optional. Run it with no configuration and it returns useful data straight away. | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `search` | string | Filter by keyword across title, company and description. Space or comma separated. Leave empty for every current job. | | `maxItems` | integer | How many jobs to return. You are only charged for jobs delivered. Default `100`. | | `postedWithinDays` | integer | Only jobs published in the last N days. Leave empty for no limit. | | `minSalary` | integer | Only jobs advertising at least this much. Jobs with no published salary are excluded when this is set. | | `includeDescription` | boolean | Include full description text and HTML. Turn off for a smaller dataset. Default `True`. | ### Output Flat JSON records, exportable as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML. Fields the source does not publish come back as `null` rather than being omitted, so your schema stays stable between runs. ### Pricing Pay per result. You are charged only for records actually delivered - a run that matches nothing costs nothing. ### Keeping it fresh Use Apify **Schedules** to run this on a timer and your dataset stays current without you touching it. Add a webhook to push new records straight into your database, Google Sheet or Slack channel. ### Reliability This reads the source's own public API - no logins, no bot circumvention. That is a deliberate choice: actors that depend on defeating bot protection break without warning. This one does not. # Actor input Schema ## `search` (type: `string`): Filter by keyword across title, company and description. Space or comma separated. Leave empty for every current job. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): How many jobs to return. You are only charged for jobs delivered. ## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`): Only jobs published in the last N days. Leave empty for no limit. ## `minSalary` (type: `integer`): Only jobs advertising at least this much. Jobs with no published salary are excluded when this is set. ## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`): Include full description text and HTML. Turn off for a smaller dataset. ## Actor input object example ```json { "search": "python developer", "maxItems": 100, "includeDescription": true } ```` # 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 = { "search": "python developer" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("feedforge/remoteok-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 📖?
