# Collect remote job postings from We Work Remotely

**Use case:** 

Build a dataset of current remote jobs in one category of We Work Remotely. The task opens the category page, follows links to each job and returns the schema.org data the page publishes: title, company, employment type, posted and expiry dates, location type and full description.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-full-stack-programming-jobs"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "crawl": true,
  "maxPagesPerCrawl": 50,
  "linkPattern": "/remote-jobs/[a-z0-9-]+$",
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "title": {
    "label": "Title",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "company": {
    "label": "Company",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "location": {
    "label": "Location",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "employmentType": {
    "label": "Employment type",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "salaryMin": {
    "label": "Salary from",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "salaryMax": {
    "label": "Salary to",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "datePosted": {
    "label": "Date posted",
    "format": "date"
  },
  "url": {
    "label": "URL",
    "format": "link"
  }
}
```

## FAQ

### How do I switch to another job category?

Replace the start URL of the remote job postings task with another We Work Remotely category page. The link pattern already matches job pages in any category.

### What does the remote field contain?

The remote job postings task copies the location type the job page declares in its schema.org data, such as TELECOMMUTE. It adds no interpretation of its own.

### How many jobs does a run return?

The remote job postings task visits at most 50 pages and stores at most 50 records. Raise maxPagesPerCrawl and maxItems for more; each record is billed, so a maximum cost per run keeps it bounded.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/rocketyard/jobposting-schema-scraper.md

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`).
