## 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

## Remote Jobs Aggregator

Aggregate remote jobs from multiple free job boards into one clean, deduplicated feed. No API key.

### What it does

- Pulls remote job listings from Remotive, Arbeitnow, and Jobicy.
- Normalizes three different API shapes into one common schema.
- Filters by keyword against title, description, and tags.
- Deduplicates jobs by lowercase title plus company.
- Writes a run summary with per-source counts and a company count.

### Example input

```json
{
  "search": "python",
  "sources": [
    "remotive",
    "arbeitnow",
    "jobicy"
  ],
  "maxPerSource": 25
}
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `search` | string | Keyword matched against job title, description, and tags. Leave empty to fetch the latest jobs. |
| `sources` | array | Which boards to query. Subset of `remotive`, `arbeitnow`, `jobicy`. Defaults to all three. |
| `maxPerSource` | integer | Maximum jobs to keep from each source before deduplication. Default 25. |

### Output

Each dataset item is one normalized job:

```json
{
  "title": "Senior Python Engineer",
  "company": "Acme Inc",
  "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-python-engineer-123",
  "source": "remotive",
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "isRemote": true,
  "salary": "$90k - $120k",
  "tags": [
    "python",
    "django",
    "aws"
  ],
  "category": "Software Development",
  "publishedAt": "2026-07-02T20:01:13.000Z",
  "descriptionSnippet": "We are looking for a senior Python engineer to..."
}
```

#### Run summary (OUTPUT)

The run's default key-value store record `OUTPUT` holds an aggregate:

```json
{
  "query": {
    "search": "python",
    "sources": [
      "remotive",
      "arbeitnow",
      "jobicy"
    ],
    "maxPerSource": 25
  },
  "totalJobs": 48,
  "perSourceCounts": {
    "remotive": 25,
    "arbeitnow": 8,
    "jobicy": 15
  },
  "companiesCount": 44,
  "duplicatesRemoved": 0,
  "generatedAt": "2026-07-04T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### How it works

The Actor calls each selected board's public API, using each board's own keyword filter where available and filtering Arbeitnow client-side. It normalizes every result into the shared schema, strips HTML from descriptions, deduplicates across sources by title plus company, and pushes the items to the dataset. Failed sources are logged and skipped so one bad response never stops the run.

It needs no API key.

# Actor input Schema

## `search` (type: `string`):

Keyword matched against job title, description and tags (for example "python", "react", "designer"). Leave empty to fetch the latest jobs from every source.

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Which free job boards to query. Defaults to all three.

## `maxPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to keep from each source before deduplication.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "search": "react",
  "sources": [
    "remotive",
    "arbeitnow",
    "jobicy"
  ],
  "maxPerSource": 25
}
```

# 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 = {
    "search": "python",
    "sources": [
        "remotive",
        "arbeitnow",
        "jobicy"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("agentictools/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 = {
    "search": "python",
    "sources": [
        "remotive",

        "jobicy",
    ],
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("agentictools/remote-jobs-aggregator").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
