Remotive — remote job listings

What does Remotive Scraper do?

Remotive Scraper extracts structured data on remote jobs from remotive.com — salary, skills, company details, full descriptions, expiry dates, and incremental change metadata. Run a keyword or category search, filter by posted date, or pull the entire remote catalog, and get clean structured JSON ready for any workflow.

Key features

• 🎛️ Filter by category, job type, seniority, skills & company — narrow by category, employment type, seniority, skills (any/all) and company — or leave the query empty to pull the whole remote catalog.
• 📝 Full structured job descriptions — Complete description as clean text, HTML and Markdown, plus valid-through expiry, structured salary, and incremental change metadata.
• 📅 Date-range filtering — return only jobs by posted date within a start/end window — ideal for daily or weekly harvests of just what is new.
• 💰 Structured salary — salary parsed into structured salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryCurrency / period — no string parsing on your side. Includes salaryHidden flag when the source filtered against a bracket but the listing itself doesn't disclose.
• 📋 Detail enrichment — two-stage mode: list, then enrich each job with the full description + detail-page fields (apply counts, education, etc.). One toggle, no extra orchestration.
• 📧 Email + phone extraction — every record carries extractedEmails[] and extractedPhones[] regex-pulled from the description — direct-outreach lists with no extra processing step.
• ♻️ Incremental mode — recurring runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records — UNCHANGED and EXPIRED are opt-in. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit and charge only for the diff. Pair with notifications for daily "new jobs" alerts to your hiring team. Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.
• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + notifyOnlyChanges for daily "new Remotive jobs" pings to your hiring channel.

What data can you extract from Remotive?

Each result includes Core job fields (jobId, jobKey, title, location, category, seniority, occupation, and skills, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and detailFetched), apply information (applyUrl), and company metadata (company, companyLogo, and companyUrl). 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.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and company metadata where the source provides them.

Input

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

Key parameters:

• query — Job search keywords. Leave empty to browse the full catalog (optionally narrowed by the filters below). Paste a JSON array like ["react","golang"] to run several searches in one job.
• country — Which market to search. (default: "US")
• location — Remote region or country to narrow results (e.g. "USA Only", "Europe").
• categories — Only return jobs in these categories (e.g. "Software Development", "Design", "Marketing"). Leave empty for all categories. (default: [])
• jobTypes — Only return these employment types (e.g. "full_time", "contract", "part_time", "freelance", "internship"). Leave empty for all types. (default: [])
• seniority — Only return these seniority levels (e.g. "Senior", "Mid-level", "Entry-level"). Leave empty for all levels. (default: [])
• skills — Only return jobs tagged with these skills (e.g. "React", "Python", "AWS"). (default: [])
• skillsOperator — How to combine multiple skills. "or" = jobs matching any skill (broader). "and" = jobs matching all skills (narrower). (default: "or")
• companyName — Only return jobs from this exact company name.
• salaryMin — Only return jobs whose stated salary reaches at least this amount. Jobs without a stated salary are always kept.
• publishedAfter — Only return jobs posted on or after this date (ISO format, e.g. 2026-07-01). Jobs without a post date are always kept.
• publishedBefore — Only return jobs posted on or before this date (ISO format, e.g. 2026-07-15). Jobs without a post date are always kept.
• ...and 24 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "software-engineer-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured job records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape Remotive?

Remotive Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.001 per run
• Per result: $0.002 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.021
• 25 results: $0.051
• 100 results: $0.2
• 200 results: $0.4
• 500 results: $1

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of jobs that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.20	$0.01	$0.19 (95%)	$0.33
15% — moderate broad query	$0.20	$0.03	$0.17 (85%)	$0.93
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.20	$0.06	$0.14 (70%)	$1.83

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $6.03. First month with incremental costs $0.52 / $1.10 / $1.97 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
