## 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 Remote Jobs Aggregator do?

This Actor searches **five remote job boards in one run** and returns one clean, de-duplicated dataset:

| Board | What it's good for |
|---|---|
| [Himalayas](https://himalayas.app) | 100,000+ remote jobs, salaries, seniority, country & time-zone restrictions |
| [Remote OK](https://remoteok.com) | Tech, crypto and startup remote jobs, salary ranges in USD |
| [We Work Remotely](https://weworkremotely.com) | One of the largest remote-only boards: programming, design, product, sales, support |
| [Jobicy](https://jobicy.com) | Remote jobs with industry, level and salary data |
| [Working Nomads](https://www.workingnomads.com) | Curated remote jobs for digital nomads |

Every job gets the same fields: **title, company, board, job URL, location restrictions, time zones, employment type, seniority, categories, tags, salary (min / max / currency / period), posted and expiry dates, and the full description** (text or HTML). Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, call it via API, schedule it daily, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or an AI agent.

### Why use this remote jobs scraper?

- 🌍 **5 boards, 1 schema** — no need to run and merge separate Himalayas, Remote OK and We Work Remotely scrapers.
- 🧹 **Duplicates merged** — the same job posted on several boards is saved once; the other boards are listed in `alsoListedOn`.
- 🎯 **Precise keyword matching** — every word of your keyword must appear in the title, company or tags (or anywhere, if you prefer recall).
- 🗺️ **"Open to candidates in…" filter** — keeps worldwide jobs plus jobs whose restrictions include your country or its region (Europe, EMEA, LATAM, APAC…).
- 💵 **Salary, type, seniority and date filters.**
- ⚡ **Fast, light and stable** — uses the boards' official public APIs and RSS feeds. No browser, no proxy, no login.
- 📝 **Full descriptions included** at no extra cost.

#### Use cases

- **Job seekers & communities** — a daily digest of new remote roles for your stack or country.
- **Remote job boards & newsletters** — backfill listings from several sources in one feed.
- **Recruiters & sales teams** — see which companies are hiring remotely right now.
- **Market research** — remote salaries, demand by category, time-zone and location restrictions.
- **AI agents & RAG** — give assistants fresh remote-job data.

### How to use it

1. Click **Try for free** / **Start**.
2. Enter **search keywords** (e.g. `python`, `product designer`, `customer support`) — or leave empty for the latest remote jobs.
3. Optionally set **Open to candidates in**, **Employment type**, **Posted within** and **Only jobs with salary**.
4. Set **Max jobs per keyword and board** and run. Download the data in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.

#### Data fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `title`, `company`, `companyLogo`, `companyUrl` | Job title and hiring company |
| `source`, `url`, `applyUrl`, `sourceId` | Board the job came from and the link to the original listing |
| `location`, `locationRestrictions`, `timezoneRestrictions` | Where candidates may live / work from ("Worldwide" when unrestricted) |
| `employmentType`, `seniority` | Full-time / Part-time / Contract / Internship…; seniority when the board publishes it |
| `categories`, `tags` | Board categories and skill tags |
| `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryPeriod` | Salary range when published |
| `postedAt`, `expiresAt` | Publication and expiry dates (ISO 8601) |
| `excerpt`, `description`, `descriptionHtml` | Summary and full description |
| `alsoListedOn` | Other boards where the same job was found |
| `searchTerm` | Which of your keywords matched |

### How much does it cost?

Simple pay-per-result pricing: **$0.70 per 1,000 jobs** — full descriptions included, no start fee. Platform usage is included. Set *Maximum cost per run* to cap spending; the Actor stops cleanly at the limit. Apify's free monthly credits cover thousands of jobs.

### Tips

- Schedule a daily run with **Posted within: Last 24 hours** to get only new jobs.
- Use **Keyword matching: Anywhere** for rare skills that often appear only in the description.
- Himalayas is by far the largest board; if you only need the other four, untick it for a very fast run.
- The smaller boards publish their latest few hundred jobs through their feeds; Himalayas can go back thousands of jobs per keyword.

### Attribution and fair use

All data comes from the boards' official public APIs and RSS feeds. The boards ask that anyone republishing their jobs **credits the board and links back to the original job URL** (the `source` and `url` fields), and several of them ask not to resubmit their jobs to third-party aggregators such as Google Jobs, LinkedIn Jobs, Jooble or Neuvoo. Please respect these conditions when you use the data. Company logos and trademarks belong to their owners.

### FAQ

**Is this legal?**
The Actor only reads public job advertisements from endpoints the boards publish for this purpose. It does not log in and does not collect personal data about job seekers. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable law and each board's terms.

**Why is a board missing results?**
Some boards publish only their most recent jobs in their feeds, and keyword matching is strict by default. Try **Anywhere** matching, fewer filters, or a longer **Posted within** period.

**Need another board?**
Open an issue in the **Issues** tab — we check it regularly.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Job titles or skills, e.g. "python", "product designer", "customer support". Every word of a keyword must appear in the job (see Keyword matching). Leave empty to get the latest remote jobs.

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Remote job boards to search. All are read through their official public APIs / RSS feeds.

## `keywordMatch` (type: `string`):

Where the keywords must appear. "Title & tags" is precise; "Anywhere" also searches the full description (more results, less precise).

## `country` (type: `string`):

Optional, e.g. "Germany", "United States", "India". Keeps worldwide jobs plus jobs whose location restrictions include this country or its region (Europe, EMEA, LATAM, APAC…).

## `employmentType` (type: `string`):

Jobs that do not state a type are kept.

## `seniority` (type: `string`):

Only Himalayas publishes a seniority field; other boards are not filtered by it.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `string`):

Only jobs published within this period.

## `onlyWithSalary` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs that publish a salary range.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Order of the output.

## `maxJobsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Upper limit of jobs taken from each board for each keyword (or per board when no keywords are given). Smaller boards only publish their latest few hundred jobs.

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Upper limit for the whole run (after de-duplication).

## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`):

The full description is included at no extra cost.

## `dedupeAcrossSources` (type: `boolean`):

The same job (same company + title) posted on several boards is saved once; the other boards are listed in "alsoListedOn".

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

Not needed: all boards are read through public APIs.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
