## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## RemoteOK Job Scraper — Remote Jobs, Tags & Salaries

Scrape remote job listings from **RemoteOK** (remoteok.com) with rich, structured data: position, company, tags, location, salary range, and the **full job description** — all in a single pass. Fast, reliable, no login or API key.

### Features

- 🌍 **Remote-first jobs** — the latest openings across dev, design, marketing, ops, finance and more
- 🏷️ **Tags** — every job's skill/category tags, ideal for filtering and analysis
- 💰 **Salary** — structured min/max (USD) when the listing provides it
- 📄 **Full descriptions included** — the complete job description comes with every record, no extra step
- 🔎 **Flexible filters** — by keyword, tag, location, and salary range
- ⚡ **Fast & cheap** — pure JSON via RemoteOK's public API, no browser, works without proxies

### Input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["react", "senior"],
  "tags": ["dev", "engineer"],
  "location": "United States",
  "salaryMin": 80000,
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `searchQueries` | Keywords matched against title, company, tags, location (blank = all) |
| `tags` | RemoteOK tags; a job matches if it has any of them |
| `location` | Location substring filter |
| `salaryMin` | Only jobs whose salary reaches at least this (USD) |
| `salaryMax` | Only jobs whose minimum salary is at or below this (USD) |
| `maxItems` | Max jobs to return |

All fields are optional — run with no input to get the latest remote jobs.

### Output

```json
{
  "type": "job",
  "id": "1134655",
  "slug": "remote-senior-react-engineer-acme-1134655",
  "position": "Senior React Engineer",
  "company": "Acme Inc",
  "companyLogo": "https://remoteok.com/assets/…/logo.png",
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "remote": true,
  "tags": ["dev", "react", "engineer", "senior"],
  "salary": { "currency": "USD", "min": 100000, "max": 140000 },
  "salaryText": "$100,000 - $140,000",
  "postedDate": "2026-07-09T15:04:15+00:00",
  "postedEpoch": 1783609455,
  "description": "Full job description text…",
  "applyUrl": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/…",
  "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/…",
  "source": "Remote OK"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Job aggregation** — feed a job board or newsletter with fresh remote listings
- **Remote-work & salary research** — analyze demand and pay by skill tag
- **Recruiting & sourcing** — track remote openings by role, company, or stack
- **Lead generation** — find companies actively hiring remotely

### Notes

Data comes from **[Remote OK](https://remoteok.com)**'s public API and, per their API Terms of Service, every record links back to its job URL on Remote OK with Remote OK credited as the source. The API serves the latest listings, so runs return the most recent remote jobs (filtered by your criteria). Only public data is scraped; no login or API key is required.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Optional keywords to match against job title, company, tags and location (e.g. "react", "designer", "devops"). Leave empty to return all latest remote jobs.

## `tags` (type: `array`):

Optional RemoteOK tags to filter by (e.g. "dev", "design", "marketing", "senior"). A job matches if it carries any of these tags.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional location filter (e.g. "United States", "Europe"). Matched as a substring of the job's location field.

## `salaryMin` (type: `integer`):

Only jobs whose salary range reaches at least this amount (USD/year). Note: many RemoteOK listings have no salary and will be excluded when this is set.

## `salaryMax` (type: `integer`):

Only jobs whose minimum salary is at or below this amount (USD/year).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to return.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. RemoteOK's public API works from datacenter IPs; enable a proxy only if you hit rate limits.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "developer"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "developer"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("hipersoft/remoteok-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
