## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

# README

## Remote Jobs Aggregator — 6 boards, one feed

Pulls the newest remote jobs from **RemoteOK, Himalayas, Remotive, Jobicy, Arbeitnow and We Work Remotely**, normalizes them into one schema, drops cross-board duplicates, and applies your filters. All six boards publish open feeds, so the Actor needs no login, no proxies and no browser — a full run takes seconds.

**Per job:** title, company, logo, board URL and apply URL, location / region restrictions, employment type, seniority, category, tags, salary min/max/currency/period plus a readable `salaryText`, posted date, plain-text description and original HTML, and `alsoOn` — the other boards that carried the same posting.

### Example

```json
{
  "source": "weworkremotely",
  "title": "Senior React Native Developer",
  "company": "Lemon.io",
  "url": "https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/lemon-io-senior-react-native-developer-1",
  "location": "Anywhere in the World · 🇦🇷 Argentina, 🇦🇹 Austria, …",
  "employmentType": "Full-Time",
  "category": "Full-Stack Programming",
  "tags": ["React Native", "TypeScript", "Mobile"],
  "salaryText": "USD 60k–90k/year",
  "publishedAt": "2026-09-03T14:02:11.000Z",
  "alsoOn": ["remoteok"],
  "description": "Lemon.io is looking for …"
}
```

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `sources` | all six | pick boards |
| `keywords` | — | keep a job if any keyword is in title / tags / category / company |
| `excludeKeywords` | — | drop on match |
| `searchDescription` | off | also match keywords inside descriptions |
| `postedWithinDays` | 7 | freshness window; 0 = no limit |
| `regions` | — | `USA`, `Europe`, `Worldwide`, `UK` … matched against location text |
| `minSalary` | — | annual; hourly/monthly figures are annualized; `keepJobsWithoutSalary` controls unknowns |
| `maxJobsPerSource` | 200 | 0 = everything the board exposes |
| `includeDescription` | on | plain text + HTML |
| `dedupe` | on | same title + company across boards collapses into one row with `alsoOn` |

### Uses

- **Daily job alerts** — schedule with `postedWithinDays: 1` and your keywords; pipe the dataset to email, Slack or Sheets.
- **Job board / newsletter feeds** — `keywords` by stack, `regions` by audience, `includeDescription` on.
- **Market research** — `maxJobsPerSource: 0`, `postedWithinDays: 30`, analyze salary and tag frequencies.
- **Recruiting leads** — companies hiring remotely this week, by category.

### What each board exposes

| Board | Coverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| RemoteOK | latest ~100 | tags, salary range, apply link |
| Himalayas | full history, paged | location + timezone restrictions, seniority, salary with period |
| Remotive | current listings | category, tags, required location, salary text |
| Jobicy | latest 100 | industry, level, geo |
| Arbeitnow | paged, remote-only rows kept | Europe-heavy, some German titles |
| We Work Remotely | latest ~90 (RSS) | region, country, skills, type; salary parsed from titles when present |

Boards ask for attribution: link back to `url` when you republish listings.

### Pricing

Pay per result: one job = one result. Duplicates removed by `dedupe` are not billed.

### Support

# Actor input Schema

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Boards to pull from. All six publish public feeds — no login, no proxies.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep a job if ANY keyword appears in its title, tags, category or company (case-insensitive). Example: `python`, `react`, `product manager`. Empty = keep all.

## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Drop a job if any of these appear in title, tags or category. Example: `senior`, `intern`, `sales`.

## `searchDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Match `keywords` against the full description too (looser, more results).

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Drop jobs older than this. 0 = no limit.

## `regions` (type: `array`):

Keep only jobs whose location text contains one of these, e.g. `USA`, `Europe`, `Worldwide`, `UK`, `Canada`. Empty = all. Boards phrase locations differently, so use short words.

## `minSalary` (type: `integer`):

Drop jobs whose stated maximum salary is below this (jobs with no salary are kept — see `keepJobsWithoutSalary`).

## `keepJobsWithoutSalary` (type: `boolean`):

Applies only when `minSalary` is set.

## `maxJobsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Stop reading a board after this many matching jobs. 0 = everything the board exposes.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Adds `description` (plain text) and `descriptionHtml` to each job.

## `dedupe` (type: `boolean`):

Drop repeats of the same title + company seen on another board (first board in your list wins; `alsoOn` lists the others).

## MCP server setup

```json

```

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).
