## 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 Scraper & Aggregator — RemoteOK, Remotive, Himalayas, WWR & More

Get **remote job listings from 6 major remote job boards in a single, deduplicated, normalized feed**: RemoteOK, Remotive, Himalayas, Working Nomads, Jobicy, and We Work Remotely. One run returns fresh remote openings with **salary data, categories, tags, and full descriptions** — cross-posted duplicates merged automatically.

Perfect for **job boards, newsletters, job-alert bots, market research on remote hiring, and personal job hunting on autopilot**.

### Why this aggregator?

- 🌍 **6 boards, 1 schema** — no need to handle six different APIs and formats.
- 🧬 **Cross-board deduplication** — the same job posted on 3 boards becomes one result with an `alsoFoundOn` list.
- 💰 **Salary-aware** — normalized `salaryMin` / `salaryMax` / `salaryCurrency` where boards disclose it, plus a `withSalaryOnly` filter.
- 🕒 **Freshness filter** — `maxAgeDays` returns only jobs published in the last N days: ideal for daily schedules and alerts.
- ⚡ **API-based** — reads each board's public API/RSS feed. Fast, stable, no proxies.

### Input example

```json
{
    "keywords": ["python", "backend"],
    "maxAgeDays": 7,
    "withSalaryOnly": true,
    "deduplicate": true
}
```

### Output example

```json
{
    "title": "Senior Backend Engineer",
    "company": "Acme Corp",
    "source": "remotive",
    "alsoFoundOn": ["remoteok"],
    "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-backend-engineer-123",
    "category": "Software Development",
    "tags": ["python", "django", "aws"],
    "location": "Worldwide",
    "employmentType": "full_time",
    "salaryMin": 120000,
    "salaryMax": 160000,
    "salaryCurrency": "USD",
    "descriptionText": "We are looking for...",
    "publishedAt": "2026-07-10T08:30:00.000Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Job alert automations** — schedule daily with `maxAgeDays: 1`, pipe new matches to Slack/email/Telegram via Apify integrations.
- **Niche job boards & newsletters** — a ready-made content pipeline: filter by category, publish anywhere.
- **Remote-work market research** — salary distributions, hiring trends by category, top hiring companies.
- **Personal job search** — one scheduled run instead of checking six sites every morning.

### Sources

| Board | Coverage |
|---|---|
| RemoteOK | Tech-heavy, salary ranges on most posts |
| Remotive | Curated remote jobs across categories |
| Himalayas | Rich metadata: seniority, timezones, skills |
| Working Nomads | Curated list, strong dev/marketing coverage |
| Jobicy | Multi-industry with salary data |
| We Work Remotely | One of the largest remote boards |

### Scheduling & integrations

Run on a [schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules), export **JSON/CSV/Excel**, or connect **Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks** and the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Works great as a data source for AI agents via MCP.

### FAQ

**Why do some jobs have no salary?**
Boards only expose what employers disclose. Use `withSalaryOnly: true` to keep only jobs with salary data.

**How fresh are the results?**
As fresh as each board's public feed — typically minutes to hours after posting. Schedule daily runs with `maxAgeDays: 1` for a rolling feed of new jobs.

**Is this legal?**
Yes — the actor reads public APIs and RSS feeds these boards explicitly publish for consumption, and results link back to the original listings.

# Actor input Schema

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

Which remote job boards to pull from. Default: all six.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Only keep jobs whose title contains at least one of these keywords (case-insensitive), e.g. <code>\["python", "data engineer"]</code>. Leave empty for all jobs.

## `categoryFilter` (type: `string`):

Only keep jobs whose category or tags contain this text (case-insensitive), e.g. <code>marketing</code> or <code>devops</code>.

## `maxAgeDays` (type: `integer`):

Only keep jobs published within the last N days. 0 = no age limit.

## `withSalaryOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs that disclose salary information.

## `deduplicate` (type: `boolean`):

Jobs cross-posted on several boards are merged into one result (an <code>alsoFoundOn</code> field lists the other boards).

## `maxJobsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Cap the number of jobs fetched per board. 0 = as many as each board's API returns.
