## 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

## Himalayas Scraper - Remote Jobs, Salaries & Companies

> **Disclaimer:** This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Himalayas or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "Himalayas" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from.

Scrape **remote jobs** from [Himalayas](https://himalayas.app) via its public API: title, company, **salary range**, seniority, categories, **location & timezone restrictions**, full description and the **apply URL**. Search by keyword or browse the latest - clean JSON, CSV or Excel. No login, no API key, no browser.

> **Why this actor exists (demand):** the Himalayas niche draws **~167 monthly users** on Apify Store across a fragmented field of scrapers. This actor reads the site's own JSON API directly, so it is fast and reliable, and returns a rich, lead-ready record for job seekers, recruiters, job-board aggregators and salary-data researchers.

### What you can scrape

- **Search remote jobs by keyword** - `python`, `product designer`, `devops`, `sales`, anything.
- **Browse the latest** remote jobs across all categories (leave the search blank).
- **Multiple searches in one run** - pass several keywords.

Each job returns: `title`, `company`, `companyLogo`, `employmentType` (Full Time / Contractor / …), `seniority`, `minSalary` / `maxSalary` / `salaryCurrency` / `salaryPeriod` (when disclosed), `categories`, `parentCategories`, `locationRestrictions`, `timezoneRestrictions`, `excerpt`, `description`, `publishedAt`, `expiryDate`, `applyUrl`, `url`.

### Example input

Remote software jobs:

```json
{ "searchQueries": ["software engineer", "backend developer"], "maxResults": 100 }
```

The latest remote jobs across every category:

```json
{ "searchQueries": [""], "maxResults": 100 }
```

### Use with AI assistants (MCP)

This actor is available through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp), so assistants like Claude can pull "the latest remote Python jobs with salaries" as structured, ready-to-use data.

### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is **agent-ready** - AI agents can discover it, run it, and **pay for it autonomously**, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

- **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** - an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) - no account, no API key.
- **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** - agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building a job-board aggregator, recruiting tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event, tiered by volume: **$0.003** per job at the free tier, dropping to **$0.00075** at the top tier. You pay only for jobs actually returned.

### Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

- **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
- **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** - official SDKs.
- **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
- **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/himalayas-scraper').call({
    "searchQueries": [
        "software engineer"
    ],
    "maxResults": 50
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);
```

### Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required:

- **[Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make)** - multi-step automation scenarios.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** Himalayas' own public jobs API (`himalayas.app/jobs/api`). No private API, no login.

**Why is salary sometimes empty?** Many remote posts do not publish a salary; those fields are null (not zero) when Himalayas has no figure.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search remote jobs, e.g. <code>python</code>, <code>product designer</code>, <code>devops</code>. Each keyword is searched separately. Leave empty (or add one blank entry) to browse the latest remote jobs across all categories.

## MCP server setup

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

```

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).
