## 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`).

### What This Actor Does

Pull remote job listings from RemoteOK as clean rows:

- **Role** — position, company, apply URL and listing URL
- **Skills** — the job's tags/skills (e.g. `javascript`, `react`, `design`)
- **Location** — region/timezone requirement where given
- **Salary** — min/max and a formatted salary range **where the employer posted one**
- **Meta** — post date, description, company logo

Search by **skill/tag** (e.g. `javascript`, `marketing`, `designer`) or pull the **latest feed**.

***

### Why Use This

- **Remote-only jobs.** RemoteOK is remote-first — no filtering out office roles.
- **Skill-tagged.** Every listing carries skill tags for precise filtering and matching.
- **Salary where available.** Get the salary range on listings that publish one.
- **Clean and free.** Reads RemoteOK's public JSON API — no key, no login, no browser.

***

### Quick Start

#### Run it in the console (no code)

1. Add **skills/tags** to search (e.g. `javascript`, `designer`), or leave empty for the latest feed.
2. Optionally set a **min salary** to keep only listings that post one at/above it.
3. Set **Max jobs**, click **Start**, export as **JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML**.

#### Jobs for a skill (Python)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/remoteok-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchTerms": ["react", "golang"], "maxItems": 200,
})
for j in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(j["position"], "·", j["company"], "·", j["salaryText"] or "—", "·", ", ".join(j["tags"][:4]))
```

***

### Input Parameters

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `searchTerms` | array | Skills/roles to search (treated as RemoteOK tags). Empty = latest feed. |
| `tags` | array | Extra tag/skill queries. |
| `minSalary` | integer | Keep only jobs with a posted salary ≥ this (0 = no filter). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max jobs across all queries. `0` = no limit. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy. Datacenter is enough (public API). |

***

### Output

```json
{
  "id": "1137465",
  "position": "Senior React Engineer", "company": "Acme",
  "tags": ["react", "typescript", "senior"],
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "salaryMin": 90000, "salaryMax": 130000, "hasSalary": true,
  "salaryText": "$90,000 - $130,000",
  "date": "2026-10-05T13:00:02+00:00",
  "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/...", "applyUrl": "https://..."
}
```

**About salary:** RemoteOK lists a salary range only when the employer provides one — a minority of listings. `hasSalary` tells you which rows have it; the rest carry full role, company, tags and apply data. Company logos are included when the API exposes them.

***

### Use Cases

1. **Remote job aggregation** — feed listings into a job board, newsletter or Slack.
2. **Talent & market research** — see which skills and companies are hiring remotely.
3. **Salary benchmarking** — analyse posted ranges across skills (where available).
4. **Sourcing & alerts** — monitor new remote roles for a skill on a schedule.

***

### Tips

- **`searchTerms`** are RemoteOK tags — use skills (`javascript`, `rust`) or roles (`designer`, `marketing`).
- **`hasSalary: true`** filters to listings with a posted salary range.
- Leave searches empty for the **latest remote jobs** across all skills.
- **Schedule it** with Apify Schedules to catch new postings continuously.

***

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Do I need an account or key?**
No. RemoteOK's JSON API is public and free — no login, key or anti-bot.

**Why do many jobs have no salary?**
RemoteOK shows a salary range only when the employer posts one. Use `hasSalary` to filter to those that do.

**How do I search by skill?**
Put the skill in `searchTerms` — it's matched as a RemoteOK tag (e.g. `react`, `golang`, `design`).

**How many jobs can I get?**
The feed and each tag query return up to ~100 recent listings; combine multiple tags for broader coverage.

**What export formats are supported?**
JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or via API — plus Google Sheets, webhooks, Make and Zapier.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
