## 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).

## We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper
Scrape live remote job listings from We Work Remotely — pick one or more categories and pull the full feed in a single run.
### What you get
- **Job title** and direct link to the listing
- **Company** name (parsed from the title)
- **Region** — the geography the role is open to (e.g. "Anywhere in the World", "USA Only", "Europe")
- **Category** — the role classification on We Work Remotely
- **Published date** — when the job was posted
- **Full description** — both raw HTML and a cleaned plain-text version
- Multi-category support — scrape several categories in one run
### Use cases
- **Job board aggregation** — feed remote-only listings into your own product, Slack channel, or newsletter
- **Recruiter sourcing** — track which companies are hiring remotely in specific functions
- **Market research** — analyse remote hiring trends, geographies, and categories
- **Lead generation** — identify companies actively scaling remote teams
- **AI training data** — collect structured job descriptions for resume-matching or recommendation models
### How to use
1. Enter one or more **Categories** (defaults to `remote-programming-jobs`)
2. Set **Max Items Per Category** (`0` = all available in the feed)
3. Run the actor — results land in the **Dataset** tab
4. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console
#### Scrape programming jobs
```json
{
"categories": ["remote-programming-jobs"]
}
````
#### Scrape multiple categories at once
```json
{
"categories": [
"remote-design-jobs",
"remote-product-jobs",
"remote-devops-sysadmin-jobs"
],
"maxItemsPerCategory": 50
}
```
### Available categories
| Slug | Description |
|---|---|
| `remote-programming-jobs` | All programming roles |
| `remote-full-stack-programming-jobs` | Full-stack roles |
| `remote-back-end-programming-jobs` | Back-end roles |
| `remote-front-end-programming-jobs` | Front-end roles |
| `remote-design-jobs` | Design & UX |
| `remote-customer-support-jobs` | Customer support |
| `remote-sales-and-marketing-jobs` | Sales & marketing |
| `remote-product-jobs` | Product management |
| `remote-devops-sysadmin-jobs` | DevOps & sysadmin |
| `remote-management-and-finance-jobs` | Management & finance |
| `all-other-remote-jobs` | Everything else |
### Output format
One dataset record per job:
```json
{
"jobTitle": "Full-Stack Developer, AI Applications",
"company": "Titan Ai",
"rawTitle": "Titan Ai: Full-Stack Developer, AI Applications",
"url": "https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/titan-ai-full-stack-developer-ai-applications",
"region": "Anywhere in the World",
"category": "Full-Stack Programming",
"publishedAt": "Mon, 27 Apr 2026 14:32:00 +0000",
"descriptionHtml": "Headquarters: United States
Titan is building...
",
"descriptionText": "Headquarters: United States Titan is building the AI platform for banking...",
"sourceCategory": "remote-programming-jobs"
}
```
### Parameters
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **Categories** | `["remote-programming-jobs"]` | Category slugs to scrape, one record per job |
| **Max Items Per Category** | `0` | Maximum jobs to return per category. `0` = all available in the feed |
### Notes
- Each category feed typically contains the most recent 100–200 active listings
- The `region` field reflects the geography the role is open to, not the company headquarters — many records say "Anywhere in the World"
- Description content is provided in both HTML (preserves formatting and links) and plain text (ready for indexing or AI ingestion)
- One HTTP fetch per category — fast, low-overhead runs

# API
You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.
## JavaScript example
```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
"categories": [
"remote-programming-jobs"
],
"maxItemsPerCategory": 0
};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("seemuapps/simple-we-work-remotely-scraper").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});

## Python example
```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("")
# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
"categories": ["remote-programming-jobs"],
"maxItemsPerCategory": 0,
}
# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("seemuapps/simple-we-work-remotely-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(item)
