Remote Jobs Aggregator — RemoteOK, Remotive, Himalayas, We Work Remotely, Jobicy, Arbeitnow

Six of the most-used remote job boards, one clean dataset. The actor reads each board's public API or RSS feed (no scraping of HTML pages, no login, no browser, no proxies), maps every listing onto the same schema, filters by keyword / category / region / date and deduplicates the same job posted on several boards. Ideal for building a remote-job board or newsletter, job alerts, market research on remote hiring and salaries, or feeding an LLM matching pipeline.

source	feed	notes
RemoteOK	remoteok.com/api	newest ~100 jobs; salary in USD when set
Remotive	remotive.com/api/remote-jobs	category + candidate region; keyword search passed through
Himalayas	himalayas.app/jobs/api	cursor-paged (tens of thousands of jobs), salary, seniority, time zones
We Work Remotely	weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs.rss + category feeds	region, skills, expiry date
Jobicy	jobicy.com/api/v2/remote-jobs	50 per request, industry, level, salary; keyword passed through as tag
Arbeitnow	arbeitnow.com/api/job-board-api	Europe/Germany-heavy; only listings flagged remote are kept

What you get

One row per job (type: "job"), identical fields for all sources:

field	description
source, id	Board name and the board's own job id/slug
title, company, company_logo	Cleaned title and company name, logo URL when provided
url, apply_url	Job page on the source board (their terms ask that applications go through their page)
location, remote_region	Where the candidate must be based (e.g. Worldwide, USA, Europe, Germany)
category, tags	Board category plus skill/industry tags
job_type, seniority	full_time, Contract, Full-Time…; level when given
salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency, salary_period, salary_text	Structured pay when the board has it, else the board's free-text salary
posted_at, expires_at	ISO 8601
dedupe_key	Normalised title@company used for cross-source deduplication
description	Full listing as clean plain text (headings and - bullets kept); optional description_html

A source that is down or blocks the request produces one type: "error" row — free — and the run continues with the next source.

Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or push rows to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, webhooks or your code via the Apify API.

Input

field	default	meaning
sources	all six	which boards to read, in order of preference (dedupe keeps the first)
keywords	—	keep jobs whose title/description/category/tags contain one of these
excludeKeywords	—	drop jobs whose title/description contains one of these
categories	—	keep jobs whose category/tags contain one of these
locations	—	keep jobs whose location/region contains one of these
wwrCategories	["all"]	WWR feeds to read (programming, design, devops-sysadmin, sales-marketing, customer-support, …)
postedSince	—	keep jobs published on/after YYYY-MM-DD
dedupe	true	drop duplicates by normalised title + company
includeDescription	true	store plain-text description
includeHtml	false	also store description_html
maxItemsPerSource	200	cap per source (after filters)
maxItems	500	cap for the run

Example — worldwide engineering jobs from the last week:

{
  "keywords": ["engineer", "developer"],
  "locations": ["Worldwide", "Anywhere", "Europe"],
  "postedSince": "2026-08-20",
  "wwrCategories": ["programming", "devops-sysadmin"],
  "maxItemsPerSource": 300
}

Schedule it hourly/daily and deduplicate on source + id (or on dedupe_key) to get only new listings.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0005 per stored job ($0.50 per 1,000 jobs). Only rows actually written to the dataset are charged; error rows, duplicates and filtered-out jobs are free. Apify platform usage (a few seconds of compute per run) is billed separately by Apify.

Limitations and fair use — please read

• The boards publish these feeds for free on the condition that you credit them and link back to the original listing (url), and route applications through their page. Please respect that in whatever you build; the actor keeps url/apply_url on every row for this reason.
• RemoteOK's API only exposes its newest ~100 jobs; Jobicy returns at most 50 per request. Himalayas and Arbeitnow are paged, so large maxItemsPerSource values work there.
• Category names and region wording differ per board (Devops vs DevOps / Sysadmin, USA vs United States): use short generic filter words.
• Deduplication is heuristic (normalised title + company); reposts with a changed title are not caught.
• Salary is structured only where the board provides numbers; free-text salaries stay in salary_text.
• RemoteOK occasionally serves mis-encoded emoji in descriptions; that comes from the source.
• Descriptions are the boards' own text; some boards truncate or add their own footer (e.g. RemoteOK's "please mention the word …" anti-spam line).
