## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### Remote OK Jobs Scraper

***

Scrape **remote job listings from Remote OK** (remoteok.com). Provide the site URL for all recent jobs or a tag page (e.g. `remote-python-jobs`) — the Actor reads Remote OK's public JSON feed and returns every listed job as structured data: title, company, location, salary range, tags, posting date, full plain-text description and apply URL.

***

#### **📋 Example Output**

```json
{
  "id": "1136795",
  "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/remote-senior-software-engineer-case-execution-pivotal-health-1136795",
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer Case Execution",
  "company": "Pivotal Health",
  "companyLogo": null,
  "location": "New York City",
  "salaryMin": 190000,
  "salaryMax": 220000,
  "tags": "dev, front end, python, customer support, design, admin, exec, senior, ops, sys admin, medical, engineer, backend, digital nomad",
  "postedAt": "2026-08-16T00:00:03.000Z",
  "descriptionText": "About Pivotal Health Pivotal Health is the leading technology platform that helps healthcare providers get paid fairly in an increasingly complex reimbursement…",
  "applyUrl": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/remote-senior-software-engineer-case-execution-pivotal-health-1136795",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-13T18:03:37.523Z"
}
```

`location`, `salaryMin`/`salaryMax` and `companyLogo` are `null` when the employer did not provide them. `applyUrl` is the Remote OK job page, which hosts the apply button.

#### ⚙️ **Configuration**

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `url` | String | *(required)* | Remote OK listing URL: `https://remoteok.com` for all recent jobs, a tag page such as `https://remoteok.com/remote-python-jobs`, or a multi-tag page such as `https://remoteok.com/remote-python+react-jobs` (jobs must carry every tag). |
| `maxItems` | Integer | `0` | Max jobs to return (0 = all; the feed returns roughly the 100 most recent jobs per query). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Apify Proxy (auto) | Proxy settings. Switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty. |

##### Example Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-python-jobs",
  "maxItems": 0
}
```

##### Getting your start URL

1. Open [remoteok.com](https://remoteok.com) and click a tag (e.g. *Python*, *Customer Support*) or combine tags
2. Copy the URL from your browser address bar — it looks like `https://remoteok.com/remote-python-jobs`
3. Paste it as the `url` input. The homepage URL returns the latest jobs across all tags

#### 💬 **Support and Feedback**

Reach out via Apify support channels or leave feedback on the Actor's page.

#### **Is it legal to scrape Remote OK data?**

It is legal to scrape publicly available job data such as titles, companies, locations and descriptions. Remote OK's API terms ask that you link back to the job URL on Remote OK and credit Remote OK as the source when you republish its listings. Results may include personal data (e.g. contact names in descriptions); scrape personal data only with a legitimate reason. Consult your legal advisor if unsure.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-python-jobs",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call ocrad/remoteok-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ocrad/remoteok-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).
