RemoteOK Scraper — Remote Jobs API

What does RemoteOK Scraper do?

RemoteOK Scraper extracts structured job data from remoteok.com — including salary data, contact details, company metadata, and full descriptions. It supports location filters and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers a compact output mode for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

What data can you extract from remoteok.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, title, location, tags, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryText, and url, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description), contact and apply information (applyUrl), and company metadata (company). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are an optional location filter and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• tag — Filter by skill or technology tag, e.g. "javascript", "python", "devops", "react". Leave blank for all recent remote jobs.
• location — Filter jobs by geographic restriction, e.g. "usa", "europe", "worldwide". Note: many remote jobs have no location restriction.
• company — Filter jobs by company name, e.g. "github", "stripe". Leave blank for all companies.
• maxResults — Maximum number of jobs to return (0 = all available, up to ~96 most recent). (default: 25)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate job description HTML to N characters. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Return core fields only (jobId, title, company, location, tags, salaryText, applyUrl, url, postedDate). Ideal for AI-agent and MCP workflows. (default: false)

Input example

  "tag": "javascript",
  "maxResults": 5,
