## 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

### What does NoDesk Remote Jobs Scraper do?

**NoDesk Remote Jobs Scraper** extracts public job, listing, or page records from public URLs supplied in the input tab. It checks JSON-LD and JSON responses first, then uses a conservative page metadata fallback. It does not bypass authentication or extract private data.

### Why use NoDesk Remote Jobs Scraper?

- Normalized title, company, location, description, URL, source, and extraction status fields.
- Explicit timeout plus keyword and location filters.
- Apify scheduling, API access, integrations, monitoring, and dataset exports.

### What data can it extract?

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| title | Public job or page title |
| companyName | Public company name when available |
| location | Public location label |
| description | Cleaned public description |
| jobUrl | Canonical public listing URL |
| sourcePortal | Source hostname |

### How to run

Open the input tab, confirm the target start URLs, set maxItems, and optionally add keyword or location filters. Download the dataset as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

### Output

Records preserve public provenance. When a page has no structured listing, extractionStatus is page_metadata. When no target URL is known from the CSV, the Actor outputs configuration_required instead of inventing a result.

### Tips, limitations, and support

Use only public, permitted URLs and respect each website terms and rate limits. Some sites need a site-specific board URL. Public pages may contain personal data; use results lawfully and with a legitimate purpose. Use the Issues tab for feedback and the API tab for programmatic access.

### Default public feed

This Actor uses the source's public RSS feed by default: https://nodesk.co/remote-jobs/index.xml. It extracts real feed entries and preserves title, company, location, description, posting date, and listing URL where available. No login or API key is required.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional single public page or API endpoint. When supplied, it takes precedence over startUrls; otherwise existing startUrls/config defaults are used.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional public RSS/feed URLs. Leave empty to use the built-in feed.

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

Maximum records to output.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Optional case-insensitive title or description filter.

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Optional search/filter term. When non-empty it takes precedence over the legacy keyword field.

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

Optional case-insensitive location filter.

## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

Per-request timeout in seconds.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrl": "https://nodesk.co/remote-jobs/index.xml",
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://nodesk.co/remote-jobs/index.xml"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "keyword": "",
  "searchQuery": "",
  "location": "",
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 30
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

Dataset containing extracted public records.

## `runSummary` (type: `string`):

Run status and output counts.

## `diagnostics` (type: `string`):

Source metadata and sanitized errors.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://nodesk.co/remote-jobs/index.xml"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jobscrawler/nodesk-remote-jobs-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) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://nodesk.co/remote-jobs/index.xml" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("jobscrawler/nodesk-remote-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://nodesk.co/remote-jobs/index.xml"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call jobscrawler/nodesk-remote-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jobscrawler/nodesk-remote-jobs-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).
