## Pricing

from $1.50 / 1,000 dataset items

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## RemoteOK Jobs Scraper

Extract current RemoteOK job listings into clean dataset rows for recruiting, market tracking, lead sourcing, and job-alert workflows.

The actor supports two input modes:

- Keyword search for broad current listings or matching roles such as `python` or `senior+devops`.
- URL list mode for one or more RemoteOK listing URLs.

### Why use it

- Wider filter surface than basic RemoteOK actors.
- Keyword mode and URL mode in one actor.
- Client-side sort choices for newest, oldest, salary, and company ordering.
- Expanded normalized output with original fields preserved when `includeRawFields` is enabled.
- Salary, company, location, age, and tag filters.
- Optional MCP connector export to apps such as Notion, Linear, Airtable, and Apify.

### Input modes

#### Keyword search

Use keyword mode when you want matching jobs from current listings.

- `searchTerms` accepts one or more terms.
- Use `all jobs` for a broad run without keyword narrowing.
- A value such as `senior+devops` requires all tokens to match in the listing text or tags.
- Each search term is processed separately and capped by `maxItems`.

#### URL list

Use URL mode when you already know the listing URLs to read.

Accepted examples:

```text
https://remoteok.com/remote-react-jobs
https://remoteok.com/remote-dev-jobs
https://remoteok.com/remote-design-jobs
https://remoteok.com/remote-dev-jobs?q=python&page=2
```

Each URL is processed separately and capped by `maxItems`.

### Filters

| Input | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `tags` | Keeps jobs whose tag list contains at least one selected tag. |
| `companies` | Keeps jobs whose company name contains one of your values. |
| `locations` | Keeps jobs whose location text contains one of your values. |
| `minSalary` | Keeps jobs whose salary range reaches at least this amount. |
| `maxSalary` | Keeps jobs whose salary range starts at or below this amount. |
| `postedWithinDays` | Keeps jobs posted within the selected age window. |
| `requireSalary` | Keeps only rows with salary data. |
| `sortBy` | Reorders saved rows by posting time, salary, or company. |
| `maxPages` | How many result pages to walk for each search term or source URL. Leave empty to walk every page; an explicit value is honored with no upper limit. |
| `maxItems` | Maximum matching rows to save for each search term or source URL. It is a cap, not a guarantee. |
| `resumeFromRunId` | Optional: a previous run ID or dataset ID to continue a full-catalogue walk across separate runs. Jobs already collected there (matched by `id`) are skipped, so this run only saves the new ones. |

#### Resuming a full-catalogue walk

For an unbounded pull (`maxPages` left empty), `resumeFromRunId` lets you continue in a brand-new
run: paste the ID of a previous run (or its dataset), and this run skips every job `id` already
saved there, appending only new jobs. A checkpoint is also saved automatically as the run
progresses — if the run is interrupted by an Apify platform migration or you click **Resurrect**
on a failed run, it picks back up in the *same* run without re-saving (or re-charging for) jobs it
already collected. No input is needed for that; it's automatic.

### Data you get

Each row includes every core field exposed by basic RemoteOK actors and adds normalized helpers such as:

- `jobId`, `title`, `companyName`, `locationText`
- `postedAt`, `postedEpoch`, `postedAgeDays`
- `salaryMid`, `hasSalary`
- `descriptionText`
- `tagCount`, `matchedSearchTokens`, `matchedTagFilters`
- `sourceUrl`, `sourceType`, `searchTerm`

When `includeRawFields` is enabled, the complete original job object is also kept in `raw`.

### MCP connector export

The `mcpConnectors` field is optional. When connectors are selected, the actor writes the dataset first, then sends a condensed summary of saved jobs to the selected connectors. Connector failures do not change the dataset output.

For Notion, also set `notionParentPageUrl`. Use `maxNotifyJobs` to cap how many saved jobs are sent to each connector.

### Example input

Keyword search:

```
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerms": ["all jobs"],
  "sortBy": "posted-desc",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": []
  }
}
```

URL list:

```
{
  "mode": "url",
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-dev-jobs" }
  ],
  "requireSalary": true,
  "sortBy": "salary-desc",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": []
  }
}
```

### Example output

```
{
  "jobId": "1134146",
  "slug": "remote-hh2-biztech-1134146",
  "title": "hh2",
  "companyName": "Biztech",
  "locationText": "南港區, ",
  "postedAt": "2026-06-25T09:06:30+00:00",
  "salary_min": 0,
  "salary_max": 0,
  "hasSalary": false,
  "tags": ["project manager", "exec", "product manager", "dev", "medical", "digital nomad", "ops"],
  "url": "https://remoteOK.com/remote-jobs/remote-hh2-biztech-1134146",
  "applyUrl": "https://remoteOK.com/remote-jobs/remote-hh2-biztech-1134146",
  "sourceType": "search-term",
  "searchTerm": "react",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-26T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Connection

Use the connection field only when your run environment needs a different route.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

Use keyword search to filter current listings by terms, or URL mode to read one or more RemoteOK listing URLs directly.

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Enter job keywords or tag phrases such as python or senior+devops. Use all jobs for a broad default run. Each term is processed separately and capped by Max items.

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

Paste RemoteOK listing or tag URLs. Each URL is processed separately and capped by Max items.

## `tags` (type: `array`):

Keep only jobs whose tag list contains at least one of these values.

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Keep only jobs whose company name contains one of these values.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep only jobs whose location text contains one of these values.

## `minSalary` (type: `integer`):

Keep only jobs whose salary range reaches at least this amount.

## `maxSalary` (type: `integer`):

Keep only jobs whose salary range starts at or below this amount.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Keep only jobs posted within this many days. Leave empty for no age filter.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Client-side sort order applied after filtering.

## `requireSalary` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs where a salary range is present.

## `includeDescriptionText` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the actor adds a cleaned plain-text version of the listing description.

## `includeRawFields` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the actor keeps the full original job object alongside normalized fields.

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

Maximum matching rows to save for each search term or start URL. This is a cap, not a guarantee.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Leave empty to walk every result page. When a source has more matching jobs than fit in one page, the actor keeps paginating until Max items is reached or the source is exhausted.

## `resumeFromRunId` (type: `string`):

Paste a previous run ID or dataset ID to continue a full-catalogue walk across separate runs. Jobs already collected there (matched by id) are skipped, so this run only saves the new ones. Leave empty for a normal fresh run.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Connection settings for environments that require a custom route.

## `mcpConnectors` (type: `array`):

Optionally send scraped jobs into apps you already use via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector once under Apify Settings Integrations, then select it here. The connector receives a condensed summary per job; the full record stays in the dataset. Leave empty to skip. Supported: Notion, Linear, Airtable, and Apify.

## `notionParentPageUrl` (type: `string`):

URL or id of the Notion page under which job pages are created. Required for Notion export; ignored by other connectors.

## `maxNotifyJobs` (type: `integer`):

Cap on jobs written to each connector. Does not affect the dataset.
