## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Remotive Jobs Search Scraper: Bulk Extract Remote Job Listings

***

### What Is Remotive.com?

Remotive.com is a specialized job board for remote positions across tech, marketing, design, and business roles. With thousands of active listings updated daily, it serves as a primary source for distributed teams and remote-first talent. Manually scraping search results to gather competitive intelligence or populate job aggregators is repetitive and error-prone — the **Remotive Jobs Search Scraper** automates extraction from Remotive's search pages, delivering clean job records in bulk.

***

### Overview

The **Remotive Jobs Search Scraper** extracts job cards from Remotive.com search results pages, converting them into structured JSON records. It is ideal for:

- **Job aggregators** pulling remote listings into multi-source boards
- **Recruiters** tracking remote job market trends by skill, seniority, and salary
- **Researchers** analyzing remote work opportunities and compensation patterns
- **HR platforms** benchmarking competitive remote job offerings
- **Data analysts** building datasets for labor market intelligence

Key features include high item extraction per URL (up to 200 jobs per page), resilient error handling, and rich metadata including salary ranges, required skills, and company branding.

***

### Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object:

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/et-full-time"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}
```

| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `urls` | Remotive search results page URLs | `https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/et-full-time` |
| `max_items_per_url` | Max job listings per URL (1–200) | `200` |
| `ignore_url_failures` | If `true`, skips failed URLs without stopping the run | `true` |

**URL Construction Tips:**

- Use category filters: `/remote-jobs/et-full-time`, `/remote-jobs/software-development`
- Combine multiple filters: `/remote-jobs/design/full-time`
- Append pagination if needed: `?page=2`
- Each URL can return up to 200 job listings, depending on page length

### How to Use

1. **Find search results URLs** — Browse Remotive.com and apply filters (category, job type, seniority). Copy the filtered search page URL.
2. **Add URLs to configuration** — Paste one or more URLs into the `urls` array. Example:

```json
   "urls": [
     "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/et-full-time",
     "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-development",
     "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/marketing"
   ]
```

3. **Set item limit** — Choose `max_items_per_url` (typically 20–200 depending on speed vs. volume needs).
4. **Enable resilience** — Keep `ignore_url_failures: true` for bulk runs to skip broken links.
5. **Run and export** — Start the scraper, then download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

**Best Practices:**

- Use specific category URLs to control data relevance.
- For large datasets, split URLs into multiple runs to avoid timeouts.
- Monitor the job count per URL — if lower than expected, the page may have pagination.
