## 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

### We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper

***

Scrape **remote job listings from We Work Remotely** (weworkremotely.com). Provide the homepage URL for all recent jobs or a category page (e.g. *Programming*, *Design*, *Sales and Marketing*) — the Actor reads the site's public RSS feed and returns every listed job as structured data: title, company, region, category, posting date, full plain-text description, company headquarters, website and logo.

***

#### **📋 Example Output**

```json
{
  "id": "bondex-fullstack-web3-engineer-solidity-rust-typescript",
  "url": "https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/bondex-fullstack-web3-engineer-solidity-rust-typescript",
  "title": "Fullstack Web3 Engineer (Solidity / Rust / Typescript)",
  "company": "bondex",
  "location": "Remote - Americas",
  "country": null,
  "category": "Front-End Programming",
  "employmentType": null,
  "skills": null,
  "companyLogo": "https://wwr-pro.s3.amazonaws.com/logos/0171/6491/logo.gif",
  "companyHeadquarters": "Remote - Americas, El Salvador",
  "companyWebsite": "http://bondex.app/",
  "postedAt": "2026-09-29T19:13:52.000Z",
  "descriptionText": "Headquarters: Remote - Americas, El Salvador URL: http://bondex.app We're recruiting a Web 3 Fullstack Developer (Solidity / Rust / Typescript) who is looking for a new c…",
  "applyUrl": "https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/bondex-fullstack-web3-engineer-solidity-rust-typescript",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-13T18:03:59.991Z"
}
```

`employmentType` (Full-Time / Contract), `country` and `skills` are only published in the all-jobs feed, so they are filled when you start from the homepage URL and `null` for category URLs. `applyUrl` is the We Work Remotely job page, which hosts the apply button.

#### ⚙️ **Configuration**

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `url` | String | *(required)* | `https://weworkremotely.com` for all recent jobs, or a category page such as `https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs`. Feed URLs ending in `.rss` are accepted too. |
| `maxItems` | Integer | `0` | Max jobs to return (0 = all; feeds carry roughly the 25-100 most recent jobs). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Apify Proxy (auto) | Proxy settings. Switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty. |

##### Example Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs",
  "maxItems": 0
}
```

##### Getting your start URL

1. Open [weworkremotely.com](https://weworkremotely.com) and pick a category from the menu (Programming, Design, DevOps, Customer Support, …)
2. Copy the URL from your browser address bar — it looks like `https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs`
3. Paste it as the `url` input. The homepage URL returns the latest jobs across all categories

#### 💬 **Support and Feedback**

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

#### **Is it legal to scrape We Work Remotely data?**

It is legal to scrape publicly available job data such as titles, companies, regions and descriptions. 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://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call ocrad/weworkremotely-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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