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. 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 ## RemoteOK Remote Jobs Scraper 🌍💻 Scrape **remote jobs from [RemoteOK](https://remoteok.com)** into clean, structured JSON — job **title, company, salary range, tags, location, apply link, full description, logo and posting date**. No login, no API key, no proxy required. Datacenter-friendly and fast. > **Perfect for:** job boards, recruiting & sourcing tools, job aggregators, and remote-work market research. *** ### ✨ What you get For every job posting the scraper returns: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id` | RemoteOK job ID | | `title` | Job title / position | | `company` | Hiring company | | `tags` | Array of skill/category tags (e.g. `dev`, `python`, `senior`) | | `location` | Location / region (often "Worldwide") | | `salary_min` | Minimum salary (USD, when provided) | | `salary_max` | Maximum salary (USD, when provided) | | `description` | Full job description (HTML stripped, capped at 5,000 chars) | | `date` | Posting date (ISO-8601 UTC) | | `url` | Link to the job on RemoteOK | | `apply_url` | Direct apply link | | `logo` | Company / job logo URL | | `scraped_at` | When this record was scraped (ISO-8601 UTC) | Every field is **nullable** — missing values come back as `null` instead of breaking your pipeline. *** ### ⚙️ Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `mode` | select | `jobs` | What to scrape. Only `jobs` is supported today. | | `tags` | string | `dev` | Optional tag filter — a single tag or comma-separated list (e.g. `python`, `react`, `design`). Leave empty for all recent jobs. | | `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Max jobs to return (1–1000). RemoteOK serves ~100 recent jobs per request. | #### Example input ```json { "mode": "jobs", "tags": "python", "maxItems": 100 } ``` #### Example output item ```json { "id": "1134436", "title": "Senior Quality Engineer", "company": "Tellent", "tags": ["dev", "backend", "testing", "senior"], "location": "Worldwide", "salary_min": 200000, "salary_max": 225000, "description": "About the Role\n\nAs a Senior Quality Engineer you'll own...", "date": "2026-07-03T16:00:13+00:00", "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/remote-senior-quality-engineer-tellent-1134436", "apply_url": "https://remoteok.com/l/1134436", "logo": "https://remoteok.com/assets/tellent.png", "scraped_at": "2026-07-04T09:00:00+00:00" } ``` *** ### 💰 Pricing Roughly **~$1 per 1,000 jobs** scraped, on top of Apify platform usage. A typical full run of ~100 recent jobs costs a fraction of a cent. You pay for input and output as JSON — no hidden fees, no proxy costs (RemoteOK's public API works fine from datacenter IPs). *** ### 🚀 Use cases - **Job boards** — keep a fresh feed of remote listings without maintaining scrapers. - **Recruiting & sourcing** — pull open roles by tag (e.g. `python`, `devops`) into your ATS or CRM. - **Job aggregators** — merge RemoteOK into a multi-source remote-jobs index. - **Market research** — track remote hiring trends, salary ranges and in-demand skills over time. *** ### 🆚 Why this scraper | | This actor | Manual API calls | Generic HTML scrapers | |---|---|---|---| | Clean structured JSON | ✅ | ⚠️ raw, includes metadata row | ❌ brittle | | Skips API metadata row | ✅ | ❌ you handle it | — | | HTML descriptions stripped | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | Epoch → ISO dates | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | Nullable, pipeline-safe schema | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | No proxy needed | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | *** ### 🔗 Related actors by the same author - [The Muse Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/themuse-jobs-scraper) - [Remote Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/remote-jobs-scraper) - [ATS Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/ats-jobs-scraper) - [Workday Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/workday-jobs-scraper) *** ### ⚖️ Attribution & Terms RemoteOK's API Terms of Service request a **link-back**: if you publish or redistribute jobs sourced from RemoteOK, please **link back to [Remote OK](https://remoteok.com) (do-follow, no `nofollow`) and credit Remote OK as the source**.

Currently only 'jobs' is supported (fetches the RemoteOK jobs feed, optionally filtered by tags). ## `tags` (type: `string`): Optional tag(s) to filter jobs by, e.g. 'dev', 'python', or 'react'. Provide a single tag or a comma-separated list. Leave empty to fetch all recent remote jobs. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of jobs to scrape. RemoteOK returns roughly the 100 most recent jobs per request, so values above that will simply return everything available. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "jobs", "tags": "dev", "maxItems": 100 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `jobs` (type: `string`): No description # 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 = { "tags": "dev" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ninhothedev/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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/rISQJcPAHy8qj9FYl/builds/ZcRC46N7MpiUL0phH/openapi.json
