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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## RemoteOK.com Scraper No API key. No account. Browse the live remote job feed or search by tag/category — get clean JSON back. Fetches job data from [RemoteOK](https://remoteok.com): title, company, tags, location, salary range, apply URL, and full description. ### Why this scraper? - **No RemoteOK account or API key required** - **Two query modes** — browse the full current feed, or filter by a single tag/category (e.g. `python`, `design`, `senior`) - **Rich job data** — title, company, tags, location, salary range (when disclosed), apply URL, and full HTML description per job - **Real server-side tag filtering** — the tag search hits RemoteOK's own filtered feed, not a client-side filter over the full list ### What you can fetch - **Browse jobs** — the full current remote job feed (~100 most recent listings) - **Search by tag** — jobs filtered to a single tag or category ### Usage Choose a `queryType` and provide the appropriate inputs. #### Browse the current job feed ```json { "queryType": "browse" } ```` #### Search jobs by tag ```json { "queryType": "tag", "tag": "python" } ``` ### Input fields | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `queryType` | select | `browse` (default) or `tag` | | `tag` | string | Tag or category to filter by (e.g. `python`, `design`, `marketing`, `senior`). Required for `queryType=tag` | ### Output Each run pushes one item per job to the dataset. | Field | Description | |---|---| | `id` | Numeric RemoteOK job ID (string) | | `slug` | URL slug | | `position` | Job title | | `company` | Company name | | `company_logo` / `logo` | Company logo URL (often empty) | | `tags` | Array of role/skill/category tags | | `location` | Location string (city, region, or "Worldwide") | | `description` | Full job description (HTML) | | `apply_url` | Direct application URL | | `url` | Job detail page on RemoteOK | | `date` | Posted date (ISO 8601) | | `epoch` | Posted date (Unix timestamp) | | `salary_min` / `salary_max` | Salary range in USD (present on a minority of listings) | ### Use cases - **Remote job boards / aggregators** — pull the live feed to power a search or alerts product - **Tag-based job alerts** — poll a specific tag (e.g. `python`, `remote-first`) for new postings - **Market research** — track which skills/roles are most in demand across remote postings - **Salary benchmarking** — collect the subset of listings that disclose salary ranges *** This scraper is not affiliated with RemoteOK. Per RemoteOK's API terms, any product built on this data should link back to the job's original RemoteOK URL. Please use responsibly and in accordance with RemoteOK's terms of service. # Actor input Schema ## `queryType` (type: `string`): What to fetch: browse remote jobs (full current feed), search remote jobs by tag/category. ## `tag` (type: `string`): Filter by tag or category (e.g. python, design, marketing, senior).
