Himalayas Remote Jobs Scraper: Salary, Seniority, Timezones

Remote jobs from Himalayas.app (120k+ listings) via its public API: keyword search by country plus the latest-jobs feed, with salary range, seniority, employment type, country and timezone restrictions, categories, company, apply link and description. $0.35 per 1,000 jobs.

A Himalayas scraper for remote jobs with real salary data. Himalayas.app lists over 120,000 remote jobs, and its public API exposes what most boards hide: salary minimum and maximum with currency and period, seniority level, employment type, the countries a job is open to and its timezone restrictions. Give it keywords (engineer, product designer, customer support…) and optional candidate countries, and get one clean row per job: title, company with logo and Himalayas company page, open-to location, worldwide or restricted, seniority, categories, salary range, posted and expiry dates, job link and apply link, and the full description as plain text. Each keyword runs Himalayas' own search, and the newest-first jobs feed is scanned for more matches, with filters for worldwide-only, seniority, employment type, minimum salary and posting age. Leave keywords empty to collect the latest remote jobs for a daily feed. Use it for remote job boards and newsletters, recruiting and sourcing, remote salary benchmarking, hiring-signal lead lists and job market research. $0.35 per 1,000 jobs, with no compute bill on top; problems return a free status row instead of failing.

What data does it return?

Every run outputs clean, schema-validated rows like these:

title	company	location	employmentType	salaryMin	salaryPeriod
Software Engineer, AI Coding Tasks (Contract)	Askable	Worldwide	Contractor	100	hour
Part-time HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical Engineers	WB Engineers+Consultants	United States	Part Time
Civil Design Engineer II/III	Revamp Engineering, Inc.	United States	Full Time	99800	year

How much does it cost?

Transparent pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you get, and the actor always respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and it stops cleanly at the cap instead of overrunning.

Event	Price	Charged	Worked example
job-result	$0.00035	per job row	1,000 jobs = $0.35 (descriptions included)
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	per run per GB of memory (platform start fee)	One run at 256 MB = $0.00005

Limits & honest notes

• Responsible use: you are responsible for using the data in line with Himalayas' terms and API guidelines and with data-protection law (GDPR). Himalayas asks API users to credit them: every row carries an attribution with a link to himalayas.app, so please keep it when you republish jobs. This actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Himalayas.
• It uses Himalayas' public, keyless jobs API (/jobs/api and /jobs/api/search). No login, no cookies, no proxies and no CAPTCHA solving; it sends an honest user agent (ActorForge-Himalayas), waits at least 1 s between requests and checks robots.txt before each one.
• Himalayas' robots.txt disallows search pages after the first, so each keyword search returns its top 20 jobs; deeper coverage comes from the newest-first feed (cursor pages, which robots.txt allows) with your filters applied by the actor.
• Salaries are shown as Himalayas lists them (currency and period vary by job). E-mail addresses and phone numbers are removed from descriptions; no recruiter contact details are collected.
• If the site answers with a block, the run stops at once, keeps the jobs already delivered and adds a free status row. Respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and the run stops cleanly at the cap. A run with no results returns one free status row.
