RemoteOK Scraper: Remote Jobs & Salaries

Scrape RemoteOK remote job postings straight from the site's own public API: title, company, tags, location, salary range and full description, read from the site's own public API. No login, no browser.

What you can do with it

• Monitor new remote openings. Run it on a schedule and get the newest postings first, filtered by keyword.
• Benchmark remote salaries. salaryMin/salaryMax are kept as numbers whenever RemoteOK publishes them.
• Feed a remote-jobs newsletter or board. Structured fields and the canonical url make it easy to republish or dedupe on id.
• Track which companies hire remote. company and tags (role, seniority, tech stack) for every posting.

Input

Field	What it does
keywords	Keep only the postings whose title, tags or description contain this text, for example python or designer. Empty means every posting.
maxItems	The run stops once this many postings are saved (default 50). RemoteOK's feed never carries more than about 100 at a time.

Example input:

{
  "keywords": "python",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Output

One record per posting:

{
  "id": "1137480",
  "slug": "remote-junior-sales-development-representative-it-industry-huzzle-1137480",
  "url": "https://remoteOK.com/remote-jobs/remote-junior-sales-development-representative-it-industry-huzzle-1137480",
  "title": "Junior Sales Development Representative IT Industry",
  "company": "Huzzle",
  "companyLogoUrl": null,
  "tags": ["saas", "technical", "marketing", "finance", "sales"],
  "location": null,
  "remote": true,
  "salaryMin": null,
  "salaryMax": null,
  "datePosted": "2026-10-10T00:00:17+00:00",
  "description": "About Huzzle\nAt Huzzle, we connect exceptional talent with top opportunities..."
}

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API. A real sample (five results, personal data removed, long texts truncated) is in sample-output.json.

Three ways to use it

1. Apify console, no code

1. Open the Actor page and click Try for free (a free Apify account is enough).
2. Fill in optional keywords and the maximum number of results, then click Start.
3. When the run finishes, open the Output tab, check the table, then Export as CSV, Excel or JSON.
4. For a daily alert, open Schedules, create a daily schedule for the Actor and, optionally, add an integration that sends new results to Slack, e-mail or Google Sheets.

2. Apify API with JavaScript

npm install apify-client
export APIFY_TOKEN="your token from Apify console, Settings, Integrations"
node examples/run.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('bibian/remoteok-jobs-scraper').call({
  keywords: 'python',
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

The complete file is examples/run.js.

3. Apify API with Python

pip install apify-client
export APIFY_TOKEN="your token from Apify console, Settings, Integrations"
python examples/run.py

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("bibian/remoteok-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keywords": "python",
    "maxItems": 50,
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

The complete file is examples/run.py. Never put your token in the code: read it from the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable as above.

Pricing

Pay per result: $1.20 per 1,000 job postings, plus a tiny start fee of $0.00005 per run. You pay only for the results saved to the dataset. Prices are those shown on the Store page when this guide was written; the Store page is the reference.

Why this one

• Straight from RemoteOK's own public API, the same feed its own site reads: no browser, no proxy, fast and cheap.
• Salary kept as numbers (salaryMin, salaryMax) whenever a posting publishes one, not buried in free text.
• Two RemoteOK data quirks fixed on the way out: a handful of postings arrive with their HTML description escaped twice (<h3> instead of <h3>), and a few accented letters come back mis-encoded (für instead of für). Both are repaired before the record is saved.

Good to know

• RemoteOK's feed has no pagination: it always answers with the same ~100 most recent postings. maxItems above 100 is accepted but never produces more than the feed currently holds.
• Every posting on RemoteOK is remote by construction, so remote is always true. location is whatever applicant-location restriction the employer published (often empty, meaning worldwide).
• salaryMin/salaryMax stay empty on the roughly 4 out of 5 postings that do not publish a range; nothing is guessed.
• The dataset contains job postings only. Recruiter and candidate contact details are never exported.
• A few postings embed a hidden anti-spam phrase in their description, asking anyone applying to repeat a code word. It is RemoteOK's own anti-bot trick aimed at job applicants, kept as-is since it is part of the published text; it has no effect on this Actor, which only reads and saves postings.
• This is an unofficial tool, not affiliated with RemoteOK. Check the site's terms and the data protection rules that apply to your use.

FAQ

Does it need a browser or a proxy? No. The Actor reads RemoteOK's own public API directly, so runs are fast and cheap.

How do I get only the new postings every day? Schedule the Actor daily with Apify Schedules. Postings come newest first, so dedupe on id if you keep your own copy.

Can I get the data in Excel or Google Sheets? Yes. Export the dataset as CSV, Excel or JSON from the Apify console, or connect the Apify Google Sheets integration.

Something does not work? Open an issue in the Issues tab. Every public actor is test-run daily and the broken ones are repaired.
