## 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

## RemoteOK Jobs Scraper – Titles, Salaries, Tags & Apply URLs

Exports remote job listings from RemoteOK, including job title, company, salary range, tags, location, full description, and direct apply URL. Built for recruiters sourcing candidates, job board operators aggregating listings, and job seekers building custom search or alert tools who need structured RemoteOK data without manually browsing the site.

### Why this scraper

- Pulls the same field set as the most complete alternatives — salary min/max, full HTML job description, tags, location, apply URL, and company logo — sourced directly from RemoteOK's public JSON API.
- Reads an unauthenticated public endpoint, so there's no login, CAPTCHA, or blocking behavior to work around.
- Runs at $0 per run, with no per-result or per-start charges.

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | string | RemoteOK internal job ID |
| slug | string | URL slug for the job posting |
| position | string | Job title |
| company | string | Hiring company name |
| companyLogo | string | URL of the company logo image |
| tags | string | Comma-separated skill/category tags |
| location | string | Listed job location or region restriction |
| description | string | Full HTML job description text |
| applyUrl | string | Direct URL to apply for the job |
| url | string | Canonical RemoteOK URL for the job posting |
| salaryMin | integer | Minimum salary listed, 0 if not disclosed |
| salaryMax | integer | Maximum salary listed, 0 if not disclosed |
| date | string | ISO 8601 posting date |
| epoch | integer | Unix timestamp of posting date |

### Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://remoteok.com/api" }],
  "maxItems": 1000

### Pricing

Free per run — $0.00, with no per-result charges. A typical run pulling 50 listings costs nothing to operate beyond your Apify platform usage.

### Use cases

- Recruiters building a candidate outreach list by pulling newly posted remote roles matching specific tags (e.g., "dev", "design").
- Job board operators syncing RemoteOK listings into their own site as a supplementary feed.
- Job seekers setting up a personal alert script that checks for new postings matching a title or salary range.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Pages to export.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many records in total, across all URLs. Each URL returns every record on its page, so leave this high to get complete results.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://remoteok.com/api"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://remoteok.com/api?tags=dev"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://remoteok.com/api?tags=design"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 1000
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One structured record per input URL.

# 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 = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://remoteok.com/api"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://remoteok.com/api?tags=dev"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://remoteok.com/api?tags=design"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ahmdshrif/remoteok-jobs-scraper").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 = { "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://remoteok.com/api" },
        { "url": "https://remoteok.com/api?tags=dev" },
        { "url": "https://remoteok.com/api?tags=design" },
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("ahmdshrif/remoteok-jobs-scraper").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 '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://remoteok.com/api"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://remoteok.com/api?tags=dev"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://remoteok.com/api?tags=design"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call ahmdshrif/remoteok-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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