## 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.

## RemoteOK Scraper | Fast & Reliable

**Slug:** `fatihtahta/remoteok-scraper`

The fastest and most reliable way to extract job data from **RemoteOK.com**. You get clean, structured, and complete job data at maximum speed.

Simply provide job tags (like "react" or "senior+devops") or a direct url, and let the actor deliver the data you need for market research, lead generation, or building your own job aggregation platform.

***

### 🚀 What Can This Scraper Do?

- **Blazing Fast & Reliable:**

- **⚙️ Dual Scraping Modes:**
  - **Keyword Mode:** Enter a list of search terms (e.g., "python", "devops") to automatically find and scrape relevant jobs.
  - **URL Mode:** Provide RemoteOK URLs for precise, targeted scraping with filters and tags etc.

- **📊 Comprehensive Data Extraction:** Captures all essential details for each job listing, including:
  - Position Title & Company Name
  - Full Job Description
  - Salary Range
  - Location Requirements
  - Job Tags & Skills
  - Original URL & Apply URL

- **🛡️ Built-in Proxy Support:** Rotates proxies automatically to ensure a high success rate and avoid getting blocked, even on large-scale jobs.

- **📋 Structured Data Output:** Download your results in clean JSON, CSV, Excel, and other formats, ready for immediate use.

***

### 📖 How to Use the Scraper

Getting job data is a simple, four-step process:

1. **Choose Your Mode**: Decide if you will provide your own list of search terms or a list of direct JSON URLs.
2. **Fill in Your Input**: In the **Input** tab, either enter your keywords into the `Search Tags or Keywords` field or paste your full URLs into the `RemoteOK URLs` field.
3. **Run the Scraper**: Click the "Start" button and let the scraper gather the data.
4. **Download Your Data**: Once the run is finished, go to the **Storage** tab to view and download your results.

***

### 📥 Input Configuration

Here is an overview of the Actor's input fields. For a live version, click on the **Input** tab above.

- `searchTerms` (array of strings, *optional*): A list of job tags or keywords to search for. **Note:** This is ignored if you provide `startUrls`.
- `startUrls` (array of strings, *optional*): A list of one or more direct RemoteOK URLs. Using this input will **override** the `searchTerms` field.
- `maxJobs` (number, default: `50`): The maximum number of job listings to scrape for each individual search term or provided URL.
- `proxyConfiguration` (proxy object, **highly recommended**): To ensure reliability, it is highly recommended to use proxies.

✨ Tips for an Efficient Scrape
Combine Tags: For more specific searches, combine tags using a plus sign (+) in the searchTerms field. For example, senior+react+devops will find jobs that have all three tags.

Use URL Mode for Precision: If you perform a search on the RemoteOK website, you can get the exact JSON feed for it by adding .json to the end of the URL. Paste this into the startUrls field to scrape that precise set of results.

⚖️ Is It Legal to Scrape RemoteOK?
This scraper is designed to be ethical and only extracts publicly available data from RemoteOK's official data feed. It does not access any private user information.

We believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes, are safe and legal. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data if it's included in the public listing. Personal data is protected by GDPR and other laws. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping.

Questions, feature requests, or custom needs? Please open an issue on the Issues tab in Apify Console, and we will provide support around the clock.

Happy Scraping!

# Actor input Schema

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

Enter valid RemoteOK tags (e.g., 'react', 'python', 'devops'). To combine tags, use a plus sign (e.g., 'senior+devops'). Invalid tags will be skipped.
## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Provide regular browser URLs from RemoteOK (e.g., https://remoteok.com/remote-react-jobs). The actor will convert them automatically. Using this ignores 'Search Tags'.
## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

The maximum number of job listings to scrape for each individual search term or provided URL.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxies are used by default to ensure reliability. Change settings here if needed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchTerms": [
    "react",
    "typescript",
    "senior+devops"
  ],
  "startUrls": [
    "https://remoteok.com/remote-react-jobs"
  ],
  "maxJobs": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }

## MCP server setup

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