## 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, Salary & Tech Stack Scraper

Extract remote job listings, disclosed salary bands (`salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`), seniority levels, allowed remote countries & UTC timezones, department categories, and direct application links from **Himalayas.app** (`himalayas.app/jobs`).

Built in **Golang** (`128 MB` RAM) with cursor pagination and full **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** compatibility for **Clay**, **n8n**, **Make**, **Zapier**, and remote hiring intelligence workflows.

***

### Why Use This Himalayas Jobs Scraper?

- **Direct Cursor API Extraction**: Bypasses Cloudflare HTML challenges by querying Himalayas' structured cursor feed (`himalayas.app/jobs/api`) with zero headless browser overhead.
- **Remote Eligibility & Timezone Intelligence**: Extracts `isWorldwide`, `locationRestrictions` (allowed countries), and `timezoneRestrictions` (UTC offsets) alongside `seniority` and `parentCategories`.
- **Disclosed Salary Filtering**: Enable `onlyWithSalary: true` to extract only remote jobs that disclose structured salary ranges (`salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`).

***

| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `keyword` | `string` | `""` | Optional keyword filter matched against job title, category tags, company name, or excerpt (e.g. `engineer`, `ai`, `product`). |
| `seniority` | `string` | `""` | Optional seniority filter (`Entry-level`, `Mid-level`, `Senior`, `Manager`, `Director`). |
| `country` | `string` | `""` | Optional country filter (`United States`, `United Kingdom`, `Canada`, `Worldwide`). |
| `onlyWithSalary` | `boolean` | `false` | Return only remote jobs with disclosed salary figures. |
| `includeDescription` | `boolean` | `false` | Include full plain-text job description. |

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keyword": ""
}' |
apify call velodata-labs/himalayas-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
