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 🌐 Scrape **remote job listings** from [RemoteOK](https://remoteok.com) β€” one of the most popular remote-jobs boards with a live feed of thousands of roles from startups, agencies and remote-first companies. ### What it does Fetch remote jobs filtered by tag/keyword/salary and return them as a structured dataset: - **Position** (job title) and **company** - **Salary range** (USD min / max, when disclosed) - **Location** and **remote eligibility** - **Tags** (skills, seniority, function) - **Description** and **apply URL** - **Company logo**, **posted date**, **jobId** ### Why this scraper? - πŸ“‘ Uses RemoteOK's **public JSON API** β€” reliable, no anti-bot breakage - ⚑ Fast: no browser, no proxy fees on the happy path - 🎯 Tag-based filtering (dev, react, python, marketing, design, senior…) + optional salary floor - 🌍 Global remote talent pool β€” no geo-restrictions ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `tag` | string | `dev` | RemoteOK tag (dev, react, python, marketing, design, senior…).
