## 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`).

### 💡 What Does This Actor Do?

The **Remote Jobs & Tech Career Scraper** automatically collects and aggregates the freshest remote work opportunities across the tech industry.

Instead of manually checking multiple job boards every day, this Actor queries:

1. **WeWorkRemotely** (The #1 largest remote work community)
2. **RemoteOK** (The leading tech and startup remote job portal)

It deduplicates listings, extracts structured salary and tech tags, and outputs clean datasets ready to export to **Excel (.xlsx), CSV, JSON, or Google Sheets**.

***

### ✨ Features

- 🔍 **Keyword & Tech Search**: Search specifically for roles like `React`, `Python`, `Flutter`, `Node.js`, `DevOps`, `Design`, or `Marketing`.
- 💵 **Salary Extraction**: Pulls verified salary minimums, maximums, and ranges whenever available.
- 🏷️ **Tech Stack & Skills**: Extracts categorized skill tags (`["React", "TypeScript", "AWS", "Full-Time"]`).
- 🌐 **Location Filter**: Identifies location requirements (e.g. `Worldwide`, `US Only`, `Europe`).
- 🔗 **Direct Apply URLs**: Gives clean, direct links to apply without ad redirects.
- ⚡ **Blazing Fast**: Powered by lightweight HTTP feeds — retrieves **50+ jobs in under 3 seconds** with near-zero server compute cost!

***

### 💼 High-Value Use Cases

- **Job Board Owners**: Auto-populate your remote career website or job aggregator.
- **Telegram & Discord Bot Admins**: Send automated daily job alert notifications to your community.
- **Developers & Job Seekers**: Get a daily spreadsheet of all new tech jobs matching your skills and apply immediately.
- **Recruiters & Staffing Agencies**: Track which tech companies are actively expanding their engineering teams.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pirapaakaranpirathapan/apify").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);
});

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("pirapaakaranpirathapan/apify").call(run_input=run_input)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call pirapaakaranpirathapan/apify --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
