You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

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 ## Remote Jobs Scraper Scrape job listings from multiple boards in a single run — RemoteOK, WeWorkRemotely, Indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Working Nomads, Remotive, and more. ### What you get For every job listing found, the Actor returns: | Field | Example | |---|---| | `title` | `Senior Python Developer` | | `company` | `Acme Corp` | | `location` | `Remote` | | `salary` | `$120,000 - $160,000` | | `posted_date` | `2 days ago` | | `description` | `We're looking for...` | | `url` | `https://...` | | `source_page` | `https://...` | | `scraped_at` | `2025-07-04T12:00:00.000Z` | ### How to use #### On Apify 1. Click **Run** (or call via API / integrate with Apify API) 2. Provide input (see below) 3. Results are saved to the Actor's Dataset — download as **JSON**, **CSV**, or stream via API #### Via API ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/run" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "startUrls": [{"url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-software-dev-jobs"}], "maxPages": 30, "searchQuery": "python" }' ```` ### Input | Parameter | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `startUrls` | ✅ | — | Array of `{url}` objects — job listing pages to crawl | | `maxPages` | ❌ | `50` | Maximum pages per URL | | `searchQuery` | ❌ | — | Keyword filter (case-insensitive). Only jobs matching this term are returned | | `maxResults` | ❌ | `0` | Stop after N results (`0` = no limit) | | `proxy` | ❌ | — | Proxy configuration. Enable Apify Proxy for large crawls to avoid rate limits | #### Example input ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-software-dev-jobs" }, { "url": "https://weworkremotely.com/developers" } ], "maxPages": 30, "searchQuery": "python", "maxResults": 200 } ``` ### Pricing | Model | Price | When to choose | |---|---|---| | Pay-per-result | $0.003/result | You need a small, focused dataset | | Pay-per-run | $5/run | You want predictable cost per crawl | | Hybrid | $2 + $0.002/result | You want a low floor with fair scaling | ### FAQ **How many results can I expect?** Depends on the source board and filters. A typical crawl of a niche board with `maxPages: 30` yields 100–500 listings. **Can I run this on a schedule?** Yes — use [Apify Scheduled Runs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/scheduled-runs) or [Apify Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) to trigger automatically. **My results are empty — what's wrong?** - Check that the URL is a job listing page (not a single job detail) - Try removing `searchQuery` to see if the filter is too narrow - Increase `maxPages` if the board paginates heavily # Actor input Schema ## `boards` (type: `object`): Toggle which boards to include. At least one must be enabled, or provide custom URLs below. URLs are auto-generated for enabled boards. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Add custom listing page URLs. These are added to any auto-generated board URLs. Leave empty to use only board defaults. ## `categories` (type: `object`): Filter jobs by category on supported boards. Leave empty to scrape all categories. Only the first selected category per board is used. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Only keep results matching this keyword in title, company, or description. Case-insensitive partial match. Leave empty for no filter. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many job listings are extracted across all boards. 0 = no limit. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listing pages to crawl per board (including pagination). ## `linkedinCookies` (type: `string`): Required for LinkedIn scraping. Paste your LinkedIn cookies as JSON array: \[{"name":"li\_at","value":"...","domain":".linkedin.com"}, ...]. Extract from browser DevTools > Application > Cookies. Also requires RESIDENTIAL proxy. ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Proxy configuration. RESIDENTIAL group required for Indeed, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn ($8/GB on Apify). Datacenter proxy (free) works for most other boards. Auto-enabled for Indeed/Glassdoor/LinkedIn if you leave this blank. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "", "maxResults": 0, "maxPages": 50, "linkedinCookies": "" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("longanimous_bracken/multi-board-job-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
