## What's an Apify Actor?
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.

|-------|-------------|
| `id` | Unique job listing ID |
| `position` | Job title |
| `company` | Company name |
| `companyLogo` | Company logo URL |

| `url` | Job listing URL on RemoteOK |
| `applyUrl` | Direct application URL |
### Use cases

- **Salary research** -- Analyze salary ranges across roles and technologies.
- **Hiring trend analysis** -- Track which tags and technologies are most in demand.
- **Competitive recruiting** -- Monitor what companies are hiring for and at what pay.
- **Career tools** -- Feed job data into recommendation engines or alert systems.
### How to use
Get React and JavaScript remote jobs:
```json
{
"tags": ["javascript", "react"],
"maxResults": 50
}
````
Find jobs at a specific company:
```json
{
"company": "Shopify",
"maxResults": 20
}
```
Get all available listings (no filter):
```json
{
"maxResults": 200
}
```
### Input parameters

|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `tags` | string\[] | `[]` | Filter by tags. Jobs matching at least one tag are returned. |
| `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Max results to return (1-500) |
| `company` | string | `""` | Company name filter (case-insensitive partial match) |
### Output example
```json
{
"id": "173294",
"position": "Senior Frontend Engineer",
"company": "Shopify",
"companyLogo": "https://remoteok.com/assets/img/jobs/abc123.png",
"description": "We're looking for a senior frontend engineer to join our checkout team...
",
"tags": ["javascript", "react", "typescript", "frontend"],
"location": "Worldwide",
"salary_min": 120000,
"salary_max": 180000,
"date": "2026-03-20T14:30:00+00:00",
"url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/173294-remote-senior-frontend-engineer-shopify",
"applyUrl": "https://shopify.com/careers/senior-frontend-engineer"
}
```
### Performance & cost
- Single API call fetches all listings, then filters client-side. Runs in 2-5 seconds.
- No browser or proxy needed -- minimal compute costs.
- A typical run costs under $0.005 in Apify platform credits.
### FAQ
**How often is RemoteOK data updated?**
RemoteOK updates their API in near real-time as new jobs are posted. Running the scraper daily gives you fresh listings.
**Why are some salary fields zero?**
Not all employers list salary ranges. When no salary info is provided, both `salary_min` and `salary_max` return 0.
**Can I filter by multiple tags at once?**
Yes. Pass an array like `["python", "django", "backend"]`. A job is included if it matches at least one of the tags.
**Are there legal restrictions on using this data?**
Per RemoteOK's API terms: if you display this data publicly, you must link back to RemoteOK and credit them as the source.

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("makework36/remoteok-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);
});

run = client.actor("makework36/remoteok-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
