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.

It uses RemoteOK's official public JSON API, so it requires **no proxy, no browser, and no authentication**. Each run returns up to ~100 of the most recent jobs per skill tag, normalized into a consistent 20-field schema and pushed to an [Apify Dataset](https://docs.apify.com/platform/storage/dataset). Use it as a fast, affordable **RemoteOK API alternative** for job boards, recruitment pipelines, salary research, and AI-powered job search agents. ### What data can you extract from RemoteOK? The RemoteOK Jobs Scraper returns structured data for each job listing with the following fields: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Job title (e.g., "Senior Python Engineer") | | `company_name` | Hiring company name | | `location` | Job location (usually "Worldwide" or "Remote") | | `salary_min` | Minimum annual salary in USD (0 if not listed) | | `salary_max` | Maximum annual salary in USD (0 if not listed) | | `currency` | Salary currency ("USD" when salary is available, empty otherwise) | | `tags` | Skill and category tags (e.g., python, react, devops) | | `description` | Full job description with HTML stripped to plain text | | `apply_url` | Direct link to the job application | | `source_url` | Original listing URL on RemoteOK | | `posted_at` | ISO 8601 timestamp when the job was posted | | `company_slug` | URL-friendly company identifier | | `work_mode` | Always "remote" (RemoteOK is remote-only) | | `type` | Employment type (always "full-time") | | `scraped_at` | Timestamp of when the data was collected | ### How to scrape RemoteOK Follow these steps to extract remote job listings from RemoteOK using this Actor: 1. Go to the [RemoteOK Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/parsebird/remoteok-jobs-scraper) page on Apify Store. 2. Click **Try for free** to open the Actor in Apify Console. 3. In the **Skill Tags** field, enter the tags you want to filter by (e.g., `python`, `javascript`, `react`). Leave empty for all recent jobs. 4. Optionally set a **Keyword Filter** to match against job titles, company names, and tags (e.g., "senior", "startup"). 5. Set **Minimum Salary** if you want to exclude low-salary listings (jobs without salary data always pass through). 6. Toggle **Filter out non-tech roles** if you only want technical positions. 7. Set **Max Results** to control how many jobs to return (default: 100, prefill: 50). 8. Click **Start** and wait a few seconds — the actor is extremely fast since it uses a direct API. 9. When the run finishes, click the **Dataset** tab to preview results. Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel. ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `tags` | string\[] | No | `[]` | Skill/category tags to filter by. Each tag runs a separate API request. Results are deduplicated. Examples: `python`, `javascript`, `react`, `devops`, `design`. Leave empty for all recent jobs. | | `keywordFilter` | string | No | `""` | Client-side keyword match against title, company, and tags. Case-insensitive. | | `minSalary` | integer | No | `0` | Exclude jobs where `salary_max` is below this value (USD). Jobs without salary data always pass through. | | `filterNonTech` | boolean | No | `false` | Remove clearly non-technical roles (receptionist, accountant, driver, nurse, etc.) from results. | | `maxResults` | integer | No | `100` | Maximum total jobs to return across all tag requests. RemoteOK returns ~100 jobs per tag. | ### Output example Each item in the Apify Dataset conforms to the NormalizedJob schema: ```json { "id": "remote-founding-engineer-techcorp-1133500", "source": "remoteok", "source_url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/remote-founding-engineer-techcorp-1133500", "apply_url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/remote-founding-engineer-techcorp-1133500", "title": "Founding Engineer", "description": "We are looking for a Founding Engineer to build our core platform from the ground up...", "type": "full-time", "work_mode": "remote", "location": "Remote, USA", "salary_min": 180000, "salary_max": 220000, "currency": "USD", "company_name": "TechCorp", "company_slug": "techcorp", "company_url": "https://remoteok.com/", "tags": ["python", "react", "aws", "backend"], "markets": ["python", "react", "aws", "backend"], "posted_at": "2026-06-16T00:00:24+00:00", "scraped_at": "2026-06-17T13:30:00.000Z", "data_source": "RemoteOK", "data_source_url": "https://remoteok.com/" } ``` Download results in **JSON, CSV, HTML, or Excel** format from the [Dataset tab](https://docs.apify.com/platform/storage/dataset) in Apify Console. ### Use cases 🔍 **Job board aggregation** — Combine RemoteOK data with other job sources to build comprehensive remote job boards. 📊 **Salary research** — Analyze salary ranges across different tech stacks and roles in the remote job market. 🤖 **AI job search agents** — Feed structured job data into LLM-powered assistants via the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp). 📈 **Remote work trend monitoring** — Schedule daily runs to track hiring trends, popular skills, and market shifts. 🔄 **Recruitment pipeline automation** — Use [Apify integrations](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations) to push new listings directly into your ATS or CRM. 💼 **Competitive intelligence** — Monitor which companies are hiring remotely, what skills they need, and what they pay. ### How much does it cost to scrape RemoteOK?

Below are examples in Python and JavaScript. #### Python ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("") run_input = { "tags": ["python", "javascript"], "keywordFilter": "senior", "minSalary": 80000, "maxResults": 100, } run = client.actor("parsebird/remoteok-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(f"{item['title']} at {item['company_name']} — {item['apply_url']}") ``` #### JavaScript ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '' }); const input = { tags: ['python', 'javascript'], keywordFilter: 'senior', minSalary: 80000, maxResults: 100, }; const run = await client.actor('parsebird/remoteok-jobs-scraper').call(input); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.log(`${item.title} at ${item.company_name} — ${item.apply_url}`); }); ``` You can also integrate this Actor with [Google Sheets](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/google-sheets), [Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack), [Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier), [Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make), and other tools via Apify's [integrations](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations). ### Is it legal to scrape RemoteOK? RemoteOK provides a [public JSON API](https://remoteok.com/api) that is openly accessible without authentication. This Actor uses that official API endpoint to retrieve job listings data. RemoteOK's API Terms of Service require attribution — linking back to RemoteOK and mentioning them as the source. This Actor includes `source_url` and `data_source` fields in every result to support proper attribution. For more information about the legality of web scraping, read Apify's blog post on [is web scraping legal](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/). ### Related scrapers ParseBird offers a full suite of job scrapers on Apify Store.

If you specify multiple tags (e.g., `python`, `javascript`, `react`), each tag fetches up to ~100 jobs, and the Actor deduplicates them automatically. A typical 3-tag run yields 150–250 unique jobs. **How fresh is the data?** RemoteOK's API returns the most recently posted listings. The data is as fresh as RemoteOK's own feed — typically listings from the past 1–2 weeks. Schedule [recurring runs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) daily or weekly to maintain an up-to-date job database. **Why do most jobs show $0 salary?** Only about 2–7% of RemoteOK listings include salary data. When salary is not disclosed, `salary_min` and `salary_max` are set to `0` and the `currency` field is empty. The `minSalary` filter only excludes jobs that have salary data below your threshold — jobs without salary data always pass through. **Can I schedule recurring runs?** Yes. Use Apify's [scheduling feature](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to run the Actor daily, weekly, or at any custom interval. Combine with [integrations](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations) to automatically push new jobs to Google Sheets, Slack, or your database. **What skill tags can I use?** RemoteOK supports 50+ skill tags including: `javascript`, `typescript`, `python`, `react`, `vue`, `node`, `php`, `ruby`, `golang`, `rust`, `java`, `kotlin`, `swift`, `flutter`, `devops`, `aws`, `docker`, `kubernetes`, `design`, `ux`, `marketing`, `sales`, `finance`, `legal`, `hr`, `writing`, `customer-support`, and many more. **Does this Actor need a proxy?** No. RemoteOK's API is publicly accessible and does not block automated requests. This makes the Actor extremely cheap to run since it incurs zero proxy costs. **Can I use this with AI assistants?** Yes. Use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) to connect this Actor to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any LLM that supports the Model Context Protocol. Copy the AI assistant block at the top of this README for a quick start. **How do I report issues or request features?** Visit the [Issues tab](https://apify.com/parsebird/remoteok-jobs-scraper/issues) on the Actor page.
