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.

Remote.co is a global remote job marketplace hosting thousands of verified remote positions across technology, marketing, design, sales, and other industries. It aggregates opportunities from companies worldwide, making it a rich source for remote work trends and hiring intelligence. Manually searching and extracting this data is tedious — the **Remote.co Jobs Scraper** automates discovery and collection, delivering structured datasets in minutes. --- ### Overview The **Remote Jobs Search Scraper** extracts job listings from Remote.co search result pages, transforming unstructured listings into comprehensive, machine-readable records. It is built for: - **Recruiters & staffing agencies** building candidate opportunity pipelines - **Job aggregators** syndicating remote positions to job boards - **Market researchers** analyzing remote work trends by location and industry - **Career platforms** enriching job databases with Remote.co listings - **Data analysts** studying remote work compensation and job type distribution Key advantages include search-based URL support (allowing keyword filtering), bulk item limits for large-scale collection, and robust error handling via `ignore_url_failures`. --- ### Input Format The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object: ```json { "urls": [ "https://remote.co/remote-jobs/search?searchkeyword=design&page=2" ], "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 200 } ```` | Field | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | `urls` | Remote.co search result URLs to scrape. Include keyword filters, categories, or page numbers. | `https://remote.co/remote-jobs/search?searchkeyword=design&page=1` | | `max_items_per_url` | Maximum number of job listings extracted per URL (1–200 recommended). | `200` | | `ignore_url_failures` | If `true`, continues scraping remaining URLs if one fails; if `false`, halts on error. | `true` | **Pro tip:** Use search parameters (e.g., `searchkeyword=design`) to pre-filter results and focus collection on relevant roles. *** ### Output Format **Sample output** ```json { "id": "e7587729-f49c-4ecd-8bb3-1d554b4f2071", "title": "Product Design Freelancer", "ats": null, "posted_date": "2026-07-03T02:06:22Z", "job_locations": [ "Woodinville, WA" ], "locations": null, "allowed_candidate_location": [ "Woodinville, WA" ], "remote_options": [ "100% Remote Work" ], "job_schedules": [ "Flexible Schedule" ], "job_types": [ "Freelance" ], "featured": false, "company": null, "saved": false, "viewed": false, "applied_date": null, "viewed_date": null, "saved_date": null, "slug": "product-design-freelancer-e7587729-f49c-4ecd-8bb3-1d554b4f2071", "created_on": "2026-07-03T02:06:22Z", "expire_on": "2026-08-22T00:00:00Z", "salary_range": "", "apply_job_status": "None", "career_level": [ "Experienced" ], "travel_required": "No specification", "region_id": null, "states": [ "WA" ], "countries": [ "United States" ], "cities": [ "Woodinville" ], "is_flexible_schedule": false, "is_telecommute": false, "is_freelancing_contract": false, "hosted": false, "match_id": null, "search_id": null, "score": 218.92276, "eligible_for_expert_apply": true, "is_free_job": false, "track_properties": {}, "postal_code": null, "apply_url": null, "coordinates": null, "salary_min": 0, "salary_max": 0, "salary_unit": null, "salary_currency": null, "education_levels": [ "No Education Specified" ], "gjw_url": null, "from_url": "https://remote.co/remote-jobs/search?searchkeyword=design&page=2" } ``` Each scraped job record contains 45+ fields spanning job details, company info, location data, and candidate eligibility: #### Core Job Information | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `ID` | Unique Remote.co identifier for the job listing | | `Title` | Job title as displayed (e.g., "Senior UX Designer") | | `Slug` | URL-friendly job identifier | | `Company` | Hiring company name | | `Posted Date` | When the listing was published | | `Created On` | Internal creation timestamp | | `Expire On` | Listing expiration date | | `Apply URL` | Direct link to apply for the position | | `GJW URL` | Remote.co canonical job URL | #### Remote Work & Schedule Details | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Remote Options` | Level of remote work (fully remote, hybrid, remote-first) | | `Job Schedules` | Work schedule type (full-time, part-time, flexible hours) | | `Job Types` | Employment type (permanent, contract, freelance) | | `Is Telecommute` | Boolean flag: whether role is fully remote | | `Is Flexible Schedule` | Boolean flag: whether schedule is flexible | | `Is Freelancing Contract` | Boolean flag: whether freelance/contract work | | `Travel Required` | Any required travel frequency | #### Location & Geography | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Job Locations` | Primary job location (if any office presence) | | `Locations` | Specific geographic locations | | `Allowed Candidate Location` | Geographic restrictions for applicants (e.g., "Europe only") | | `Region ID` | Remote.co region classification ID | | `States` | US states (if applicable) | | `Countries` | Eligible countries for candidates | | `Cities` | Specific cities where role applies | | `Postal Code` | Postal code (if location-specific) | | `Coordinates` | Geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) | #### Compensation & Career Level | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Salary Min` | Minimum salary range (numeric) | | `Salary Max` | Maximum salary range (numeric) | | `Salary Range` | Full salary range displayed (e.g., "$50,000 -

Add multiple URLs for different keywords, pages, or categories. 3. **Set output limits** — Use `max_items_per_url: 200` for bulk collection, or lower values for smaller datasets. 4. **Enable resilience** — Keep `ignore_url_failures: true` to handle temporary page errors gracefully. 5. **Run and export** — Execute the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. **Best practices:** - Use keyword filters to focus collection (e.g., `searchkeyword=python` for engineering roles). - Paginate through results using `page=1`, `page=2`, etc., to avoid hitting rate limits. - Test one URL first to verify output before running bulk collections. *** ### Use Cases & Business Value - **Talent sourcing:** Build databases of remote roles for candidate matching and outreach - **Market intelligence:** Analyze remote job trends, salary bands, and hiring demand by role or region - **Job board syndication:** Feed Remote.co listings into your own job aggregator platform - **Compensation benchmarking:** Extract salary data to inform pay equity studies - **Career research:** Study remote work adoption across industries and geographic regions The **Remote.co Jobs Scraper** cuts hours of manual data gathering into minutes, delivering cleaned, structured records ready for analysis, matching algorithms, or downstream systems. *** ### Conclusion The **Remote Jobs Search Scraper** is your fast-track solution for harvesting remote job intelligence at scale.
