## 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

## RemoteOK Jobs Scraper

Scrape live **remote job listings** from [RemoteOK](https://remoteok.com) - one of the largest remote job boards on the web. Get structured data for every job: **title, company, tags, salary range, location, description, and apply link** - with **no API key** and **no login** required.

Perfect for **remote job aggregation**, **recruiting**, **developer hiring**, and **job-market research**. Runs on cheap datacenter proxies (or none at all) and costs roughly **$1 per 1,000 jobs**.

> Data comes from the public RemoteOK API. As per RemoteOK's terms, if you republish this data please link back to the original job URL on RemoteOK (dofollow) and mention Remote OK as the source.

### Features

- **No API key, no login** - straight to structured JSON.
- **Full job details** - title, company, tags, salary min/max, location, cleaned description, apply URL, company logo, posting date.
- **Client-side filters** - filter by `keyword` (title + description) and/or `tag`.
- **Clean output** - HTML stripped from descriptions, dates normalised to ISO 8601, empty salaries nulled.
- **Fast & cheap** - a single API call returns ~100 of the most recent listings.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `mode` | select | What to scrape. Currently `jobs` (all live remote listings). |
| `keyword` | string | Optional, case-insensitive. Keeps jobs whose title or description contains it (e.g. `python`, `senior`). |
| `tag` | string | Optional, case-insensitive. Keeps jobs carrying this exact tag (e.g. `engineer`, `design`, `marketing`). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max jobs to store. Default `100`, max `1000`. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "jobs",
  "keyword": "python",
  "tag": "engineer",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

### Output

Each dataset item is one job:

```json
{
  "title": "Senior Python Engineer",
  "company": "Acme",
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "tags": ["python", "engineer", "full time"],
  "salary_min": 90000,
  "salary_max": 120000,
  "description": "Great role. Work with Python & Django...",
  "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/1135064",

  "slug": "remote-python-engineer-acme-1135064",
  "scraped_at": "2026-07-20T09:00:00+00:00"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per usage. As a rule of thumb, scraping jobs costs about **$1 per 1,000 jobs** in platform usage - most runs finish in seconds on the free 512 MB tier.

### Use cases

- **Remote job aggregation** - power your own job board or newsletter.
- **Recruiting** - track who is hiring for which roles, and their salary bands.
- **Developer hiring** - monitor tech-stack demand via tags.
- **Market research** - analyse remote salary trends, locations, and hiring volume.
