## 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 does Remotive Remote Jobs Scraper do?

Remotive Remote Jobs Scraper collects remote job listings and returns them as structured data. Filter to a niche or leave the filters empty to export the latest listings, then use the jobs, categories, salaries and descriptions for a job board, alerts, salary research or hiring-market analysis.

### What data can you scrape from Remotive?

- 🏢 **Company** — name and logo
- 🏷️ **Category & tags** — job category plus skill/role tags
- 💼 **Job type** — full-time, contract, freelance and more
- 📍 **Candidate location** — where the role can be worked from
- 💰 **Salary** — the posted salary text, when provided
- 📝 **Descriptions** — clean plain-text description (HTML optional)
- 🔗 **Links & dates** — apply URL and publication date

### Use cases

### How to scrape Remotive remote jobs

1. Add Remotive Remote Jobs Scraper to your Apify account.
2. Optionally set filters — `search`, `categories`, `companyName`.
3. Set `maxItems` to cap how many jobs to return (leave filters empty to export the latest).
4. Run the Actor and export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML — or pull them via the API.

### Input

```json
{
  "search": "python",
  "categories": ["software-development", "devops"],
  "companyName": "",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

Leave the filters empty to export the latest remote jobs.

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `search` | Keyword filter (title, company, tags, location, description). |
| `categories` | One or more category slugs (e.g. `software-development`, `design`, `marketing`, `data`). |
| `companyName` | Only return jobs from companies whose name contains this text. |
| `maxItems` | Maximum jobs to collect (0 = no limit). |
| `includeDescriptionHtml` | Also include each job's original HTML description. Default `false`. |

#### Category slugs

`software-development`, `customer-service`, `design`, `marketing`, `sales`, `product`, `project-management`, `data`, `devops`, `finance`, `human-resources`, `qa`, `writing`, `legal`, `medical`, `education`, `information-technology`, `all-others` and more.

### Output

```json
{
  "id": 1749306,
  "title": "Senior Backend Engineer",
  "company": "Acme",
  "companyLogo": "https://…/acme-logo.png",
  "category": "Software Development",
  "tags": ["Python", "Django", "AWS"],
  "jobType": "full_time",
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "salary": "$120k - $160k",
  "publicationDate": "2026-09-01T12:00:00",
  "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-backend-engineer-1749306",
  "descriptionText": "We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer …",
  "sourceQuery": "python software-development"
}
```

Every row is exportable as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML from the **Storage** tab or via the Apify API.

### FAQ

**Do I need to write any code?** No. Set the filters, click **Start**, and download the results.

**Can I get every remote job?** Set `maxItems` to `0` and leave the filters empty to export the latest listings without a cap.

**How often is the data updated?** Remote listings change through the day; run the Actor on a schedule to keep your data fresh.

**How do I use the results?** Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or pull them straight from the Apify API into your app, spreadsheet or database. Please link back to Remotive and credit it as the source when you display these jobs.

# Actor input Schema

## `search` (type: `string`):

Optional keyword to filter jobs — for example 'python', 'react', 'product manager' or 'customer support'. Matches job title, company, tags, location and description. Leave empty to return the latest jobs.

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Optional. Restrict results to one or more Remotive categories. Use the category slug, e.g. software-development, customer-service, design, marketing, sales, product, data, devops, finance, writing, qa, human-resources, project-management, all-others. Leave empty to include every category.

## `companyName` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only return jobs from companies whose name contains this text (case-insensitive).

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

Maximum number of jobs to collect (0 = no limit; collect everything the filters return).

## `includeDescriptionHtml` (type: `boolean`):

Also include each job's original HTML description (descriptionHtml) alongside the plain-text version. Off by default to keep the dataset lean.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many requests to run in parallel. Leave at the default unless you have a reason to change it.

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

Proxy settings. Not required by default. If you experience reduced results, enable Apify Proxy for the most reliable access.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "categories": []
}' |
apify call hipersoft/remotive-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,hipersoft/remotive-scraper"
        }
    }
}

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).
