## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Remotive Remote Jobs Scraper

Turn Remotive's public remote-jobs API into a clean dataset for alerts, job boards, recruiting research, and AI career tools. Export employers, candidate locations, categories, job types, salary text, descriptions, dates, and direct URLs.

### Start in 30 seconds

```json
{
  "search": "python",
  "category": "",
  "maxResults": 20
}
```

Expected result: up to 20 current remote Python-job rows with Remotive attribution and direct job URLs. Leave `category` blank unless you know a valid Remotive category slug.

### Output

`jobId`, `title`, `company`, `location`, `category`, `employmentType`, `workplaceType`, `salary`, `description`, `publishedAt`, `applyUrl`, and the original public payload.

### Buyer workflows

- Build remote-job newsletters, alerts, and searchable job products
- Track remote hiring by role, employer, category, and candidate region
- Create recruiting and labour-market datasets with direct apply links
- Send scheduled results to Sheets, Slack, warehouses, CRMs, or webhooks
- Supply fresh public job context to RAG systems and career agents

### Pricing

Pay **$3 per 1,000 returned job rows**. Empty searches, duplicates, failed requests, and diagnostics are not returned as billable jobs.

### Automation and MCP

Five ready-made public Tasks cover Python, data, product, sales, and marketing jobs. Run them directly or connect through API, Make, n8n, Zapier, ChatGPT, Claude, and Neuton Actors MCP.

### Responsible use

Remotive recommends no more than four public API requests per day and requires attribution and a link back. Preserve source fields, review current source terms, and do not automate applications or use results for spam or discriminatory decisions.

### SEO keywords

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("neuton/remotive-remote-jobs-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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("neuton/remotive-remote-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call neuton/remotive-remote-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,neuton/remotive-remote-jobs-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
