RemoteOK Jobs Scraper - Remote Hiring Data

Scrape remote job listings from RemoteOK and export clean hiring data in JSON, CSV, Excel or through the Apify API. The actor returns job title, company, location, remote tags, salary range when available, posted date, company logo, short description and the direct RemoteOK job URL.

RemoteOK is one of the best-known job boards for remote-first hiring. Recruiters, job aggregators, compensation analysts and recruiting agencies use it to monitor new remote roles, benchmark hiring demand, source companies that are actively expanding and build fresh remote-work datasets.

What does this actor do?

The actor reads RemoteOK's public job feed directly and normalizes the jobs into a flat dataset that is easy to use in spreadsheets, automations and databases. You can run it with a broad keyword such as python, sales or marketing, filter by a RemoteOK tag, filter by location text, or leave the filters broad and collect the newest remote jobs.

Because the source is a public JSON feed, the actor is fast and reliable. It does not need a browser, a proxy, login cookies or a paid API key. That makes it suitable for scheduled monitoring and daily Apify Store auto-tests.

Input

The input is intentionally simple:

{
  "keyword": "python",
  "tag": "",
  "location": "",
  "maxResults": 25
}

Use keyword for broad matching across job title, company, location, tags and description. Use tag when you want a narrower RemoteOK-style skill/category match. Use location only when you need location text from the posting; most jobs are remote and may use broad location labels.

Output

Each dataset item contains:

{
  "job_id": "123456",
  "title": "Senior Python Engineer",
  "company": "Example Inc",
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "remote": true,
  "tags": ["python", "backend", "api"],
  "salary_min": 120000,
  "salary_max": 180000,
  "currency": "USD",
  "posted_at": "2026-07-03",
  "description": "Short normalized job description...",
  "url": "https://remoteok.com/remote-jobs/...",
  "company_logo": "https://...",
  "source": "RemoteOK",
  "search": {
    "keyword": "python",
    "tag": "",
    "location": ""
  }
}

Use cases

Recruiting teams can track which remote-first companies are actively hiring in specific roles or technologies. Job boards can enrich their own listings with RemoteOK roles. Market researchers can measure demand for skills such as Python, React, AI, DevOps, design, sales or customer support. Lead-generation teams can identify companies that have current hiring budgets and outreach to them with staffing, software, training or recruiting services.

The actor is also useful for salary and compensation research. RemoteOK jobs often include salary ranges, so you can monitor remote compensation trends by keyword and tag over time.

Scheduling

For monitoring, create a saved task with your keyword and run it daily or weekly. Apify can send the output to a webhook, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Airtable or your own API endpoint.

Reliability

The actor uses a direct HTTP request to RemoteOK's JSON feed. It is intentionally lightweight: no browser launch, no residential proxy and no login session. It retries transient request failures and deduplicates jobs by job ID before pushing data.

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing. You only pay for jobs pushed to the dataset, plus a small actor start event.
