## 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`).

# README

## Himalayas Remote Jobs Scraper — Salaries, Filters, Fresh-Only Mode

Get clean, structured **remote job listings from Himalayas.app** — one of the largest remote-first job boards (100k+ listings) — without logins, API keys, or proxies.

### What you get per job

| Field | Example |
|-------|---------|
| `title` | Senior TypeScript Engineer |
| `company`, `companySlug`, `companyLogo` | Acme, `acme`, logo URL |
| `minSalary`, `maxSalary`, `salaryPeriod`, `currency` | 100000, 150000, yearly, USD |
| `employmentType`, `seniority` | Full Time, \[Senior] |
| `locationRestrictions`, `worldwide`, `timezoneRestrictions` | \[United States], false, \[-8…-5] |
| `categories`, `parentCategories` | \[Backend-Engineer], \[Engineering] |
| `descriptionText` (+ optional `descriptionHtml`) | plain-text job description |
| `publishedAt`, `expiresAt`, `applyUrl`, `jobId` | ISO dates + direct apply link |

### Why this one

- **Fresh-only mode** (`onlyNewSinceLastRun`): schedule it daily and only pay for *genuinely new* jobs — previously returned jobs are remembered and skipped.
- **Real filters**: keyword, country (worldwide jobs always included), employment type, seniority.
- **Honest pricing**: you pay per result in your dataset. Empty result = you pay almost nothing.
- **No fragile scraping**: data comes from Himalayas' public JSON API, so no breakage when the website's HTML changes.

### Example input

```json
{
  "keyword": "typescript",
  "country": "United States",
  "employmentType": "Full Time",
  "seniority": "Senior",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true
}
```

### Typical use cases

- Job-alert bots and newsletters (schedule + fresh-only + webhook)
- Market research on remote salaries by role/country
- Feeding job boards, Notion databases, or Airtable via Apify integrations
- Sourcing pipelines for recruiters

### Notes & limits

- `maxResults` is capped at 2,000 per run (cost protection). Runs also stop gracefully after 5 minutes and keep everything collected until then.
- Keyword matching covers title, excerpt, and categories. Rare keywords scan up to ~10,000 recent listings per run.
- Data source: Himalayas.app public jobs API (publicly documented, no key required). Job listings only — no personal data is collected.

# Actor input Schema

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Case-insensitive match against job title, excerpt, and categories. Leave empty for all jobs.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Only jobs open to this country (matches location restrictions; jobs with no restrictions are worldwide and always included). Example: United States

## `employmentType` (type: `string`):

Filter by employment type.

## `seniority` (type: `string`):

Filter by seniority level.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many jobs (cost circuit breaker). Hard cap 2000.

## `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`):

Skip jobs already returned by previous runs of this actor (ideal for schedules — you only pay for genuinely new results).

## `includeDescriptionHtml` (type: `boolean`):

Include the original HTML description in each item (larger items). Plain-text description is always included.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keyword": "typescript",
  "country": "United States",
  "employmentType": "",
  "seniority": "",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false,
  "includeDescriptionHtml": false
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `jobs` (type: `string`):

All collected job listings as JSON items in the default dataset.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("stayfoot/himalayas-remote-jobs").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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("stayfoot/himalayas-remote-jobs").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call stayfoot/himalayas-remote-jobs --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
