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. 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 Jobs Scraper Extract remote job listings from [RemoteOK](https://remoteok.com)'s public API. Collect job title, company, tags, salary range, location, apply URL, and posting date. Supports tag-based filtering for targeted job market research. ### What it does This actor fetches remote job listings directly from RemoteOK's public JSON API (`https://remoteok.com/api`). Each run returns up to 100 of the most recent jobs across all categories, or a filtered subset when you specify tags. For each job listing, it extracts: - **Job ID & slug** — unique identifier and URL slug - **Title** — job position name - **Company** — hiring company name and logo URL - **Tags** — required skills and job category tags (JSON array) - **Description** — full job description (may contain HTML) - **Location** — remote region or geographic requirement - **Apply URL** — direct link to apply - **Salary** — min/max USD range (0 if not disclosed) - **Date** — posting date (ISO 8601) and Unix epoch timestamp - **Scraped at** — collection timestamp ### Usage #### Basic — all recent jobs Run with the default settings to fetch the 10 most recent remote jobs across all categories: ```json { "maxItems": 10 } ```` #### Tag filter — specific skills Supply one or more tags to narrow results. Each tag generates a separate API request, and results are combined (up to `maxItems` total): ```json { "tags": ["javascript", "python"], "maxItems": 50 } ``` Common tags: `javascript`, `python`, `devops`, `react`, `node`, `go`, `rust`, `design`, `marketing`, `sales`, `customer support`. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxItems` | integer | — | Maximum number of job listings to return (required) | | `tags` | string\[] | `[]` | Filter by skill/category tags. Empty = all recent jobs | ### Output Each dataset record contains: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `job_id` | string | Unique job ID from RemoteOK | | `slug` | string | URL slug for the job listing | | `url` | string | Full URL to the job on RemoteOK | | `title` | string | Job position title | | `company` | string | Hiring company name | | `company_logo` | string | Company logo image URL | | `tags` | string | JSON array of skill/category tags | | `description` | string | Full job description (may contain HTML) | | `location` | string | Location or remote region requirement | | `apply_url` | string | Direct URL to apply | | `salary_min` | integer | Minimum salary in USD (0 = not disclosed) | | `salary_max` | integer | Maximum salary in USD (0 = not disclosed) | | `date` | string | Job posting date (ISO 8601) | | `epoch` | integer | Job posting timestamp (Unix epoch seconds) | | `scraped_at` | string | Timestamp when record was scraped (ISO 8601) | ### Notes - RemoteOK's API returns up to ~100 of the most recent jobs per endpoint call. This is a full snapshot — there is no pagination to older jobs. - Attribution: Per RemoteOK's API Terms of Service, any display of this data must link back to the source URL on RemoteOK. - No proxy required — the API is fully public. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `tags` (type: `array`): Filter jobs by tags (e.g. \["javascript", "python", "devops"]).
