## Pricing

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Jobicy Remote Jobs

> ✅ **Checked daily.** An automated test runs this Actor on the Apify cloud every day and checks that it still returns real data, so if the website changes and something breaks, it's caught the same day and fixed.

Fetches remote job listings from Jobicy's public API. Returns structured job data including company, position, industry tags, location, job level, and employment type. Perfect for remote job aggregation and market analysis.

### Features

- **Free API** — No authentication required
- **50+ remote jobs** — Sourced from Jobicy's remote job board
- **Industry tags** — Each job categorized by industry (Software Engineering, Sales, etc.)
- **Job level** — Seniority/experience level included (Senior, Midweight, Entry)
- **Employment type** — Full-Time, Part-Time, Contract, Freelance

### Input

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|-------|------|-------------|---------|
| `maxJobs` | integer | Max jobs to return (0 = all, max 50) | `0` |

### Output

Each result is a JSON object:

```json
{
  "company": "TechCorp",
  "title": "Senior Engineer",
  "location": "USA",
  "locationType": "USA",
  "employmentType": "Full-Time",
  "url": "https://jobicy.com/jobs/123",
  "tags": ["Software Engineering"],
  "jobLevel": "Senior",
  "description": "We are hiring a senior engineer...",
  "source": "jobicy",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-05-15T12:00:00Z"
}
```

### Use Cases

- **Remote job aggregation** — Combine with HN Job Board + RemoteOK for a complete feed
- **Market analysis** — Track hiring trends by industry, level, and location
- **Career research** — Discover remote opportunities across industries
- **Competitive intelligence** — Monitor which companies are hiring and for what roles

### Example output

One item from a real run (long texts shortened):

```json
{
  "company": "DataGrail",
  "title": "IT & Business Systems Manager",
  "location": "USA",
  "locationType": "USA",
  "employmentType": "Full-Time",
  "url": "https://jobicy.com/jobs/154603-it-business-systems-manager",
  "tags": [
    "DevOps & Infrastructure"
  ],
  "jobLevel": "Director",
  "description": "<h3><strong>The Opportunity:</strong></h3>\n<p>Data privacy has become one of the most strategic challenges facing modern enterprises, sitting at the intersec…",
  "source": "jobicy",
  "sourceUrl": "https://jobicy.com/jobs/154603-it-business-systems-manager",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-11-05T07:39:35.449723+00:00"
}
```

### How it compares

| | This Actor | Typical alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Fields per result | 12 (see *Example output*) | Varies by actor |
| Freshness | Read live from the source when the run starts | Varies |
| Reliability | Tested daily by an automated run on the Apify cloud (see the top of this page) | — |
| Price | $1.00 per 1,000 jobs | $1.00–$2.00 per 1,000 results (comparable Actors on the Apify Store, 6 Nov 2026) |

### Pricing

Pay per result, no monthly fee:

- **$1.00 per 1,000 jobs**: One job delivered to your dataset.
- $0.0005 per run (start).

Bronze plans pay 5% less, Silver 10% less, Gold and above 15% less.

**Examples:** 1,000 jobs = $1.00; 10,000 = $10.00.

### How It Works

1. Sends a GET request to the Jobicy public API
2. Parses the JSON response and extracts job listings
3. Transforms each job into a standardized output format
4. Pushes results to the Apify dataset

### Reliability

- Exponential backoff retry for transient failures
- Graceful handling of API errors
- No browser, no proxy, no CAPTCHAs required

### Changelog

#### 0.1.0 — May 15, 2026

- Initial release
- Jobicy API integration
- Industry tag extraction
- Employment type normalization
- 11 unit tests

### FAQ

**How do I run it on a schedule?** Create a task with your input and add a schedule in Apify Console (e.g. daily at 6 am). Each run writes a fresh dataset.

**How do I get the data?** Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML from the run page, or read it with the Apify API / Python and JavaScript clients. Integrations (Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, webhooks) work out of the box.

**Do I need proxies or an account on the site?** No. Proxies are handled inside the Actor and included in the price; no login is needed.

**What if a run returns fewer results than expected?** Check the run's key-value store `OUTPUT` record (when present) for a per-request report, then open an issue on the Issues tab with the run link and we'll look into it.

**Is it legal?** The Actor only collects publicly available data. You are responsible for using it in line with the website's terms, copyright and data-protection rules (GDPR, CCPA) — don't collect personal data you have no legal basis for.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call he_work/jobicy-job-board --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,he_work/jobicy-job-board"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
