## 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.

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

## 💼 Remotive Remote Jobs Scraper

Scrape remote job listings from [Remotive.com](https://remotive.com) — 70K+ curated remote jobs. Extract titles, companies, salaries, tags, and apply links. Free API, no key needed.

### Scrape modes

| Mode | Required input |
|------|----------------|
| **Search Jobs** — keyword search | `search_query` |
| **Browse Category** — all jobs in a category | `category` |
| **Company Search** — jobs at a specific company | `company_name` |
| **All Active Jobs** — every listing | None |
| **List Categories** — categories with counts | None |

### Quick start examples

**Search Python jobs:**
```json
{ "scrape_mode": "search", "search_query": "python", "category": "software-dev", "max_results": 50 }
````

**Design jobs posted this week:**

```json
{ "scrape_mode": "category_browse", "category": "design", "posted_within_days": 7 }
```

**Jobs at GitLab:**

```json
{ "scrape_mode": "company_search", "company_name": "GitLab" }
```

**Jobs with salary info only:**

```json
{ "scrape_mode": "search", "search_query": "react", "salary_min": true }
```

### Output

```json
{
    "title": "Senior Python Developer",
    "company_name": "GitLab",
    "category": "Software Development",
    "job_type": "full_time",
    "location": "Worldwide",
    "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/...",
    "salary": {
        "has_salary": true,
        "min": 120000,
        "max": 180000,
        "midpoint": 150000,
        "period": "yearly",
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "tags": ["python", "django", "aws"],
    "days_ago": 2,
    "description_preview": "We're looking for a Senior Python Developer..."
}
```

Each run also outputs a **summary** with total jobs, unique companies, salary coverage, and category breakdown.

### Categories

`software-dev` · `design` · `marketing` · `sales` · `product` · `business` · `data` · `devops` · `finance` · `hr` · `qa` · `writing` · `customer-service` · `all-others`

### Filters

| Filter | What it does |
|--------|-------------|
| `tags` | Match skills: `"react, typescript, node.js"` |
| `posted_within_days` | Only recent jobs (e.g., last 7 days) |
| `salary_min` | Only jobs with salary info |
| `category` | Restrict to one category |
| `company_name` | Restrict to one company |

All filters can be combined.

### Key features

- **Smart salary parsing** — `"$120k-$180k/yr"` → structured min/max/midpoint/currency
- **Tag search** — matches both tags field AND description text
- **Summary stats** — unique companies, salary coverage %, category breakdown
- **HTML-stripped previews** — clean text descriptions
- Runs in ~5 seconds, costs < $0.01 per run

### Limitations

- Jobs are delayed 24h per Remotive's API terms
- Credit Remotive as source if displaying their jobs publicly
- No direct location filtering (filter from results)
