## 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

## Remote Jobs Aggregator

Aggregate and monitor remote job listings across leading remote work boards into a unified, clean dataset.

Finding remote opportunities usually means checking multiple platforms with disparate search features, different data formats, and overlapping listings. Remote Jobs Aggregator collects postings from major remote job communities into one structured dataset with normalized job titles, company info, compensation details, allowed locations, and direct application links.

### Supported Sources

Postings are aggregated directly from the following platforms, with full source attribution and listing links preserved:

- [RemoteOK](https://remoteok.com)
- [Himalayas](https://himalayas.app)
- [Jobicy](https://jobicy.com)
- [We Work Remotely](https://weworkremotely.com)

### Key Features

- **Multi-Source Aggregation**: Search across all major remote job platforms in a single run.
- **Balanced Source Coverage**: Distributes results across selected sources instead of letting the board with the freshest feed dominate the dataset.
- **Cross-Source Deduplication**: Automatically eliminate duplicate postings shared across multiple job boards based on normalized company name, job title, and location.
- **Structured Compensation**: Extract and standardize salary minimums, maximums, currency, and payment period whenever structured pay data is published.
- **Search & Filtering**: Filter postings by keyword (title and company), location restrictions, employment type, minimum compensation, and posting date.
- **Clean Content**: Access both sanitized HTML and readable plain-text job descriptions.
- **Direct Application Links**: Includes direct URLs to apply immediately or view the original listing on the source platform.

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `sources` | Array of strings | `["remoteok", "himalayas", "jobicy", "weworkremotely"]` | List of job platforms to include in the run. |

### Attribution & Usage Notes

- All job listings remain the property of their respective employers and source boards.
- Attribution to the respective source platform is maintained on every record via the `source`, `sourceUrl`, and `applyUrl` fields.
- Compensation details are strictly captured from structured disclosures on source platforms; salary values are not estimated or inferred when not published by the source.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",

    }
}
```

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).
