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 Jobs Scraper — official public API, no login Pull open remote job postings from **RemoteOK** (remoteok.com) via the site's own public JSON API — the same endpoint RemoteOK's own frontend and third-party tools use (RemoteOK even lists its own "Remote OK Jobs API" on Product Hunt). No login, no proxies, nothing to fight. Source: [Remote OK](https://remoteok.com). Per Remote OK's own API Terms of Service, every output row includes the original job's `url` on remoteok.com so downstream use can link back and credit Remote OK as the source. ### Tested (2026-09-02) | Tag | Jobs returned | |---|---:| | `python` | 100 | | `javascript` | 100 | | `marketing` | 100 | | `design` | 100 | | `devops` | 100 | | `sales` | 99 | RemoteOK always returns its current pool of matching postings (capped around 100 per tag); there is no further pagination beyond that. A tag with no matching postings returns 0 items (no charge). ### Remoteok API — input ```json { "targets": ["python", "marketing"], "maxItems": 500 } ``` Each target is a RemoteOK tag — the same skill/role/category tags shown on remoteok.com job listings (e.g. `python`, `react`, `marketing`, `devops`, `design`). ### Remoteok API — output fields One dataset item per job posting: | Field | | |---|---| | `job_id` | RemoteOK job id | | `title` | job title | | `company` | company name | | `location` | location label as posted (often "Worldwide" or a region) | | `tags` | comma-separated skill/category tags | | `salary_min` / `salary_max` | salary range if disclosed by the poster (null if not disclosed) | | `description` | full job description, HTML stripped to plain text | | `url` | the job's page on remoteok.com | | `published_at` | publish date (ISO 8601) | **No personal data**: job description text is scanned for email addresses, phone numbers, and street addresses, which are replaced with `[redacted-email]` / `[redacted-phone]` / `[redacted-address]` before being written to the dataset (some postings include a recruiter's direct contact details in the free-text description). ### Use Cases - **Remote-salary benchmarking** — aggregate `salary_min` / `salary_max` across postings in a tag to see going rates - **Skill-demand tracking** — count postings per tag (e.g. `python`, `react`) to see which skills are most in demand - **Niche remote-job aggregation** — build a job board or newsletter from a specific tag - **Company hiring monitoring** — watch which companies are actively posting remote roles ### Pricing Pay per event: **$1.00 per 1,000 job postings** collected. Nothing else. # Actor input Schema ## `targets` (type: `array`): RemoteOK のタグ（求人一覧のスキル/職種/カテゴリ。例: python, javascript, marketing, design, devops）。複数指定可 ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): 1 run で取得する最大件数 ## Actor input object example ```json { "targets": [ "python" ], "maxItems": 500 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `items` (type: `string`): 取得した各件（type=item）と、選択した分析の結果（type=analysis） ## `overview` (type: `string`): 件数・平均評点・期間・ネガティブ比率（下側信頼限界つき） # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "targets": [ "python" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("pappy-dev/remoteok-jobs").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Go to → https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/quick-start ``` ## CLI example ```bash echo '{ "targets": [ "python" ] }' | apify call pappy-dev/remoteok-jobs --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pappy-dev/remoteok-jobs" } } } ``` 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 ` 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/mg9xGsaA4NesZT7NT/builds/tn7XEtHV0QtSOLKah/openapi.json
