## 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

## Remote Jobs Scraper: Remote OK, Jobicy & Himalayas

**Remote jobs from three major remote-work boards in one run, with salary, tags, location rules and the full description, for $0.30 per 1,000 jobs.**
Stop checking three sites. Filter by keyword, location rule and recency, and get one clean list.

### Why people use it

- **Remote job boards & newsletters** - fill your listings and weekly digests with fresh remote roles.
- **Job seekers** - one search across several boards, exported to a spreadsheet.
- **Recruiters & sourcers** - see which companies hire remotely, for what, and at what pay.
- **Analysts & researchers** - salaries, skills and location restrictions across remote work.

### What you get per job

Source board, title, company, location rules, job type, category and tags, **salary range when listed**, posting date, the original job page,
the apply link, and the **full description as plain text**. Every row carries an attribution line.

### Simple to use

1. Add keywords (optional), a location filter (optional) and how recent you want the jobs.
2. Choose which boards to read, or keep all three.
3. Run and export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API.

### Pricing

**Pay per job returned: $0.0003.** No monthly rental and no start fee. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops at your limit. If nothing matches,
the run ends as Failed and you are not charged for jobs it did not deliver.

### Credit the sources

Remote OK, Jobicy and Himalayas share their jobs through public APIs on the condition that you credit them and link back. Each row includes
`source`, `sourceUrl` and an `attribution` line: please keep them when you republish, and send applicants to the original job URL. Do not use
the boards' logos. Remotive is intentionally not included because its terms do not allow passing its jobs on.

### Reliable and polite

Public APIs only: no browser, no proxy. One request per board (Himalayas is read page by page, capped), spaced out, never retried in a burst.

### FAQ

**Is this affiliated with Remote OK, Jobicy or Himalayas?** No.

# 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 = {
    "keywords": [
        "python"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("tidyharvest/remote-jobs-aggregator").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 = { "keywords": ["python"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("tidyharvest/remote-jobs-aggregator").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 '{
  "keywords": [
    "python"
  ]
}' |
apify call tidyharvest/remote-jobs-aggregator --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tidyharvest/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).
