## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

---
### How to use
The scraper supports two input modes:
#### 1. Search URLs (recommended)
Go to [remoteok.com](https://remoteok.com), set up your filters (role category, benefits, minimum salary, location), and paste the URL. All filters are preserved automatically.
```json
{
"searchUrls": [
"https://remoteok.com/remote-dev-jobs",
"https://remoteok.com/remote-senior-jobs?benefits=paid_time_off&min_salary=30000&order_by=date"
]
}
````
#### 2. Search Keywords
Enter one or more keywords. The scraper searches RemoteOK by tag and returns matching jobs.
```json
{
"searchQueries": ["engineer", "design", "marketing"],
"maxResultsPerQuery": 50
}
```
***
### Input reference
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchUrls` | string\[] | Pre-filtered search URLs from [remoteok.com](https://remoteok.com). |
| `searchQueries` | string\[] | One or more search keywords / tags. |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | Max results per keyword/URL (default 100). |
| `maxResults` | integer | Total cap across all modes (default 10, 0 = unlimited). |
