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 ## Remote Jobs Scraper — RemoteOK Remotive WWR Fetch live remote-only job listings from RemoteOK, Remotive and WeWorkRemotely in a single run, merged into one clean dataset. ### What remote jobs data does this scraper extract? Each result is one flat JSON record per job posting: | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `title` | Job title as posted | | `company` | Hiring company / organisation | | `location` | Location / duty station (may include remote hints) | | `url` | Direct link to the posting | | `postedAt` | Posting date where the source provides it | | `salary` | Salary text where the source provides it | | `snippet` | Short description excerpt | | `id` | Stable source-side identifier | ### How to scrape remote jobs with this Actor 1. Click **Try for free** / **Run** — no login to the target site, no cookies, no proxies to configure. 2. Adjust the input (keyword, filters, `maxItems`) or keep the defaults. 3. Run it and export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it over the [API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Run it from your own code: ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("") run = client.actor("nomad-jobs/remote-boards-scraper").call(run_input={"maxItems": 50}) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item["title"], "—", item["company"], item["url"]) ```` Or a single HTTP call that runs the Actor and returns items in one response: ```bash curl -X POST \ "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nomad-jobs~remote-boards-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"maxItems": 50}' ``` ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `keyword` | string | `""` | Optional case-insensitive substring matched against job title and company name. Leave empty to return all… | | `enableRemoteOK` | boolean | `true` | Scrape listings from RemoteOK. | | `enableRemotive` | boolean | `true` | Scrape listings from Remotive. | | `enableWeWorkRemotely` | boolean | `true` | Scrape tech/programming listings from WeWorkRemotely (Full-Stack, Back-End, Front-End, DevOps/SysAdmin). | | `maxItemsPerSource` | integer | `0` | Maximum number of listings to return from each enabled board. Set 0 for no limit. | | `maxItems` | integer | `0` | Hard cap on the total number of listings returned across all boards. Set 0 for no limit. | | `cacheTtlSeconds` | integer | `1800` | Cache the upstream fetch in the key-value store for this many seconds; re-runs within the window skip the… | ### Output example ```json { "id": "remotive-1934582", "title": "Backend Engineer (Go)", "company": "Chili Piper", "location": "Remote (Worldwide)", "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/backend-engineer-1934582", "postedAt": "2026-06-29", "salary": "$90k–$120k", "snippet": "Fully remote backend role..." } ``` ### Pricing Pay per event: **$0.05 per Actor start** and **$0.004 per job returned**. 100 jobs ≈ $0.45. No subscription, no rental — you pay only for what you fetch. ### Use cases - Remote-job boards and newsletters - Job-alert bots for remote-first candidates - Remote-hiring market research - Feeding AI matching agents with remote-only supply ### FAQ **Is it legal to scrape remote jobs?** This Actor reads only publicly available job postings — data any visitor can see without logging in. No personal data behind authentication is touched. Review the target site's terms and your local regulations for your specific use case. **Do I need an account on the target site?** No. Postings are fetched from public pages/APIs — no login, cookies or session tokens. **How fresh is the data?** Every run fetches live listings. Results are cached for `cacheTtlSeconds` (default 30 min, set 0 to always hit the source live). **How many jobs can I get?** `maxItems` caps the run (set 0 where supported for no cap). Most sources paginate from newest to oldest. **Something broken or missing?** Open an issue on the Actor's **Issues** tab — it is monitored and reliability fixes ship fast. ### Related Actors - [Web Developer Jobs Scraper — 10 Boards in One](https://apify.com/nomad-jobs/web-dev-bundle) - [AI & ML Engineer Jobs Scraper — 8 Boards in One](https://apify.com/nomad-jobs/ml-ai-dev-bundle) - [LinkedIn Jobs Scraper — No Login, No Cookies](https://apify.com/nomad-jobs/linkedin-scraper) - [Hacker News Who Is Hiring Scraper — HN Jobs](https://apify.com/nomad-jobs/hackernews-scraper) # Actor input Schema ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Optional case-insensitive substring matched against job title and company name.
