## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### 🚀 How to use FlexJobs Scraper (step by step)

1. Click **Try for free** / **Start**.
2. Type one or more **search keywords** — or paste a **FlexJobs search URL**.
3. Set **maxItems** to how many jobs you want.
4. Click **Save & Start**.
5. When the run finishes, open the **Dataset** tab and **Export** to your preferred format — or grab it via API.

That's it. No code required.

***

### 💡 Use cases

- **Remote-work market research** — Analyze remote vs hybrid demand, salaries and categories at scale.
- **Salary benchmarking** — Aggregate parsed salary ranges by role, category and remote level.
- **Job boards & aggregators** — Feed fresh remote & flexible listings into your own portal.
- **Hiring-trend analytics** — Track which categories and career levels are hiring remotely.
- **Benefits analysis** — See which benefits packages employers offer for remote roles.
- **Recruitment intelligence** — Monitor the remote-jobs landscape by keyword and schedule.

***

### 🏠 Why the remote & salary data matters

FlexJobs is built around **flexible work**, so this actor surfaces exactly what remote-work analysts need: the **remote level** (100% Remote vs Hybrid), the **parsed salary range**, the **schedule and career level**, and the **benefits** — for every listing. That's a focused remote-jobs dataset, not a generic job dump.

***

### ⏱️ How many jobs can I collect?

A single keyword can span hundreds of pages of listings. Set `maxItems` to control the volume, and run several keywords or filtered URLs for broad coverage. Schedule regular runs to keep the data current.

***

### 🔌 Integrations & automation

Because this runs on Apify, you can:

- 📅 **Schedule** runs (daily, weekly) to keep a live remote-jobs feed.
- 🔗 Push results to **Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, Zapier, Make, or any webhook**.
- 🧩 Call it from your backend with the **Apify API** and SDKs (JavaScript / Python).
- 🔔 Use **webhooks** to trigger downstream workflows the moment a run completes.

#### Call via API (example)

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "searchQueries": ["developer"],
        "maxItems": 300
      }'
```

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('YOUR_ACTOR_ID').call({
    searchQueries: ['marketing'],
    maxItems: 500,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need a FlexJobs account or API key?**
No. Just provide a search keyword or a FlexJobs search URL.

**Does it detect remote vs hybrid?**
Yes — `remoteOptions` tags each job as 100% Remote, Hybrid, or flexible.

**Does it include salary?**
Yes, when the listing states it. The salary range is parsed into `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency` and `salaryPeriod`, plus the original `salaryText`.

**Does it include benefits and career level?**
Yes — `benefits`, `careerLevel` and `educationLevels` are included where provided.

**Can I filter by remote level, schedule or category?**
Yes. Apply filters on FlexJobs itself, then paste the resulting URL into `startUrls`.

**Are results deduplicated?**
Yes. Each job is uniquely identified and appears once per run.

**What formats can I export?**
JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, RSS and XML — via the dashboard or the API.

**How do I keep data fresh?**
Schedule the actor to run on the interval you need; each run returns the current live listings.

***

### 📌 Tips for best results

- **Start narrow, then widen.** Test one keyword with a small `maxItems`, confirm the fields, then scale up.
- **Use search URLs for filters.** FlexJobs' own filters (remote level, schedule, category) give you exactly the segment you want.
- **Compare on remote level.** Segment by `remoteOptions` to analyze 100% Remote vs Hybrid demand.
- **Schedule for freshness.** The remote market moves daily; a scheduled run keeps your dataset current.
