## 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

### Data source

Public JSON API at `remoteok.com/api` and the public combined RSS feed at `weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs.rss`, both fetched directly with no login, refreshed on every run.

### What does Remote Jobs Aggregator (RemoteOK + We Work Remotely) do?

Pulls open remote job listings from RemoteOK and We Work Remotely into one clean, deduplicated dataset: title, company, location, tags, category, job type, salary range where published, posting date and a direct apply URL. Filter by keyword, tag or how recently a job was posted, and cap the run size so you only pay for what you need.

### Why use it?

- Lead generation for recruiters, staffing agencies and remote work newsletters that need a fresh list of open roles.
- Market research: track which tags, categories and companies are hiring remote right now, and see salary ranges where published.
- Feed a job board, Slack channel or Google Sheet with new remote listings on a schedule instead of checking two sites by hand.
- Replaces manually browsing RemoteOK and We Work Remotely or paying for a stale jobs export.

### How to use it

1. Open the Actor and set keywords, tags, the posting window and which boards to include.
2. Click Start. Download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.
3. Add a Schedule and an Integration (Slack, Google Sheets, webhook) to get new listings automatically.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Free text match against the job title, company, tags and category. Empty means no filter. |
| `tags` | Only keep jobs whose tags or category match one of these (case insensitive), for example `python`, `design`, `marketing`. Empty means keep every tag. |
| `postedWithinDays` | Only keep jobs posted in the last N days. 0 means no date filter. |
| `sources` | Which boards to pull from: `remoteok`, `weworkremotely`, or both. |
| `maxResults` | Hard stop for the run. You are billed per result, so this caps the cost. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Apify proxy is recommended for larger runs. |

Example input:

```json
{
    "keywords": "engineer",
    "tags": [],
    "postedWithinDays": 14,
    "sources": ["remoteok", "weworkremotely"],
    "maxResults": 50
}
```

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `id` | Stable key (`source:sourceId`), safe for deduplication between runs |
| `source` | `remoteok` or `weworkremotely` |
| `title` | Job title |
| `company` | Hiring company name, when published |
| `location` | Region, state or country the listing specifies, or null if unspecified |
| `tags` | Tags or skills published for the listing |
| `category` | Primary category or tag |
| `jobType` | Employment type (We Work Remotely only, RemoteOK does not publish this) |
| `salaryMin` / `salaryMax` | Salary range, when the listing publishes one, otherwise null |
| `datePosted` | ISO timestamp the job was posted |
| `description` | Plain text job description, HTML stripped |
| `url` | Link to the job listing |
| `applyUrl` | Link to apply |
| `companyLogo` | Company logo URL, when published |
| `scrapedAt` | When this Actor fetched the record |

### Pricing

Pay per event: a small fee when a run starts, then a fixed price per result returned. You only pay for records that pass your filters. Set `maxResults` to cap any run.

### Limitations

- Salary is only populated when the source board publishes it; most RemoteOK listings and all We Work Remotely listings currently omit it.
- `applyUrl` points at the job board's listing page. Neither board's public feed exposes a separate employer application link.
- We Work Remotely's public feed lists roughly the 90 most recent postings across all categories; older listings are not available without pagination the site does not publicly expose.
- Remotive is not included: its API terms restrict republishing its listings on third party sites.

### FAQ

**Is this legal?** The Actor reads listings the two sites publish for any visitor without a login and stores only business information published for that purpose. You are responsible for how you use the data.

**Something is missing or broken?** Open an issue in the Issues tab; response time is usually under a day.

## MCP server setup

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

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).
