## 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.
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).

---
### How to use
The scraper supports two input modes:
#### 1. Search URLs (recommended)
Go to [remotive.com/remote-jobs](https://remotive.com/remote-jobs), apply filters in the browser, and paste the URL. Both category paths and filter query parameters are supported.
**Category URL:**
```json
{
"searchUrls": [
"https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev",
"https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/design"
]
}
````
**Filter URL (from browser):**
```json
{
"searchUrls": [
"https://remotive.com/remote-jobs?query=golang&location=Germany&employment-type=full-time&skills=golang,go&min_salary=10000"
]
}
```
Supported filter parameters:
- `query` — free-text search (maps to API search)
- `location` — filters results by candidate location
- `employment-type` — comma-separated: full-time, part-time, contract, freelance, internship
- `skills` — comma-separated tag filter
- `min_salary` — minimum salary threshold
#### 2. Search Keywords
Enter one or more search terms. Known category slugs map directly; other terms use the API search endpoint.
Available categories: `software-dev`, `design`, `customer-service`, `marketing`, `writing`, `devops`, `qa`, `product`, `business`, `data`, `finance`, `hr`, `legal`, `sales`, `all-others`
```json
{
"searchQueries": ["golang", "react developer", "devops"],
"maxResultsPerQuery": 50
}
```
#### 3. Company enrichment
Enable `includeCompanyInfo` to fetch each company's profile page and extract their website, tagline, and open positions count.
```json
{
"searchUrls": ["https://remotive.com/remote-jobs?query=developer"],
"includeCompanyInfo": true,
"maxResults": 20
}
```
***
### Input reference
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchUrls` | string\[] | Remotive URLs — category paths or filter URLs with query params. |
| `searchQueries` | string\[] | Search terms or category keywords. |
| `includeCompanyInfo` | boolean | Fetch company profiles for website, tagline, positions (default: false). |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | Max results per keyword/URL (default 100). |
| `maxResults` | integer | Total cap across all modes (default 10, 0 = unlimited). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Datacenter proxies work great. |

### Use cases
#### Remote job aggregation
Build a comprehensive remote job feed by combining Remotive with other remote boards (RemoteOK, WeWorkRemotely). Deduplicate across sources for a unified dataset.
#### Skills demand tracking
Use the tags/skills array to track which technologies are most in-demand for remote roles. Monitor trends across categories (engineering vs. design vs. marketing).
#### Salary benchmarking
Compare remote salary ranges across categories and locations. Build compensation intelligence for remote-first companies.
#### Recruitment automation
Feed remote job listings into your CRM, ATS, or candidate matching platform via Apify API, webhooks, or Zapier/Make integrations.
***
### Speed
| Jobs | ~Time | Memory |
|------|-------|--------|
| 10 | **~3 seconds** | ~16 MB |
| 100 | **~3 seconds** | ~16 MB |
| 500+ | **~5 seconds** | ~16 MB |
| 100 + company info | **~30 seconds** | ~16 MB |
Remotive returns all matching jobs in a single API call, so even large result sets complete in seconds. Company enrichment adds ~0.5s per unique company.
