RemoteOK & Himalayas Jobs Scraper: Remote Jobs API, Deduped

What does this remote jobs API do?

A remote jobs API for RemoteOK (Remote OK) and Himalayas jobs: one run reads both boards through their public APIs (no API key needed), removes duplicates across them, and returns one dataset you can filter by keyword, location, category, employment type, salary and posting date. Every row carries the source's attribution and terms link. Independent tool; not affiliated with Remote OK or Himalayas.

Price: $0.001 per job ($0.0008 Silver, $0.0006 Gold+). You only pay for saved results. Set maxResults to cap the cost.

Sample output: remote jobs data

source	title	company	location	postedAt
Remote OK	Telefondienst für Tierarztpraxis Neuruppin o	Tierarzt Plus Partner	Neuruppin	2026-10-07

Sample rows: real output of test run on 2026-10-09, trimmed to a few columns. Every row carries attribution and termsUrl. If you display jobs, follow the source's attribution terms.

Salary fields

Jobs with a published salary carry salary (min, max, currency, interval, text). salary.interval is the board's raw period, unchanged (e.g. Remote OK sends year, Himalayas sends annual, monthly or hourly). salaryPeriodNormalized maps that raw period to one of year, month, week, day or hour, so annual, yearly and year all become year. It is null when a job has no salary or the period isn't recognised. Use it to compare or filter salaries across boards.

Remote jobs with salary

Set onlyWithSalary: true to keep only jobs whose board publishes a salary range, then compare across boards with salaryPeriodNormalized (see Salary fields). Many remote jobs don't publish a salary, so expect fewer rows.

Daily remote jobs feed (job board, newsletter or RSS)

Schedule a run every day with postedSince: "24 hours" (or "1 day"), your keywords and locations, and a maxResults cap. Send the dataset to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or export it as CSV, JSON or RSS through the Apify dataset API. If you republish jobs, follow each board's attribution terms (attribution, termsUrl).

Supported boards and limits

Board	How it's read	Depth per run
Remote OK	Public JSON API (remoteok.com/api)	Remote OK returns only its latest ~100 jobs, so one run can never return more than ~100 Remote OK jobs. Schedule daily runs to build history.
Himalayas	Public JSON API	20 jobs per page, up to maxPagesPerSource pages (default 10)

Every row carries attribution and termsUrl. If you display jobs, follow each board's attribution terms. This Actor doesn't cover other boards (e.g. Remotive or We Work Remotely).

Use cases

• Remote job board or newsletter feeds: a daily, de-duplicated list filtered by keyword and location.
• Salary research: keep only jobs with a published salary (onlyWithSalary).
• Remote-hiring trend tracking: schedule runs and compare categories and companies over time.

Remote OK API vs this Actor

Remote OK's API is free to call directly. This Actor adds: Himalayas in the same schema, de-duplication across both boards (alsoListedOn), keyword, location, category, type, salary and date filters, plain-text descriptions, and per-row attribution. Calling its API yourself is the free option if you only need Remote OK (its latest list, unfiltered).

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
sources	array	["remoteok", "himalayas"]	Which boards to read, via their public APIs. Remote OK returns its latest ~100 jobs; Himalayas has the largest catalog (100k+ remote jobs, 20 per request).
keywords	array	[]	Keep only jobs whose title contains at least one of these words (case-insensitive), e.g. "python", "product designer". Each keyword is also sent to the Himalayas search API to fetch relevant jobs faster. Leave empty for the latest jobs on every board.
searchInDescription	boolean	false	When on, keywords also match the job description text.
excludeKeywords	array	[]	Drop jobs whose title contains any of these words, e.g. "senior", "intern".
locations	array	[]	Keep jobs open to candidates in at least one of these places (matched against the board's location or location restrictions), e.g. "Germany", "Europe", "USA".
includeWorldwide	boolean	true	Jobs open to candidates anywhere always pass the location filter when this is on.
categories	array	[]	Keep jobs whose board category or tag contains one of these strings, e.g. "Engineering", "Marketing", "design".
employmentTypes	array	[]	Keep only these types, e.g. "Full-time", "Contract", "Part-time", "Freelance". Jobs without a type are dropped when this is set.
onlyWithSalary	boolean	false	Keep only jobs whose board publishes a salary range.
postedSince	string		Keep only jobs published on or after this date. Absolute (2026-09-01) or relative ("24 hours", "3 days", "1 week").
dedupeAcrossSources	boolean	true	The same job (same company + title) posted on several boards is saved once; the other boards' links go to alsoListedOn.
maxResults	integer	500	Stop after saving this many jobs. 0 = no limit. You pay per saved job, so this also caps the cost.
maxResultsPerSource	integer	0	Save at most this many jobs per board (newest first). 0 = no limit.
maxPagesPerSource	integer	10	How deep to page through Himalayas (20 jobs per page, split across keywords). Remote OK always returns its latest ~100 jobs in one request. Higher = more jobs, slower runs.
descriptionMode	string	"text"	Include the description as plain text, HTML, both, or not at all.

Integrations, schedules and AI agents

• Schedules: Schedule it daily to build a history of new remote jobs (Remote OK only returns its latest ~100). See Apify schedules.
• No-code tools: send results to Google Sheets, Slack or a CRM with Apify's Make, Zapier or n8n integrations, or a webhook when a run finishes.
• AI agents and assistants (MCP): connect an MCP client to https://mcp.apify.com?tools=clearpath-data/remote-jobs-aggregator with your Apify account (OAuth or API token) and the agent can run this Actor as a tool, charged per event at the prices under "How much does it cost?". Agents without an Apify account can use a prepaid token from Apify's agentic payments (experimental). See the Apify MCP server docs.

FAQ

How many jobs per run?

Remote OK returns its latest ~100 jobs. Himalayas depth depends on maxPagesPerSource (20 jobs per page).

How often do the boards update?

Both boards add jobs continuously; this Actor reads them live on every run. For history, schedule daily runs, because Remote OK only ever returns its latest ~100.

Can I get only jobs with a salary?

Yes, onlyWithSalary: true. See "Remote jobs with salary".

Can I filter by region (Europe, US only)?

Use locations, e.g. ["Europe"] or ["USA"]. Jobs open worldwide also pass unless you set includeWorldwide: false. Matching uses the board's own location text, so wording varies between boards. Europe also matches the European country names a board lists (for example Germany, Spain or United Kingdom), and EU or European Union match EU member states.

Why did I get fewer jobs than expected?

keywords match the job title only unless searchInDescription is on. employmentTypes drops jobs without a type. Remote OK caps at ~100 jobs.

Duplicates?

The same company + title across boards is saved once; the other links go to alsoListedOn.

What reuse terms apply to each source?

Every row has attribution and termsUrl for its board. If you display or republish jobs, follow those terms.

Combine with other Clearpath Data Actors

• Jobs straight from company career pages. For a named list of employers, ats-jobs-by-company reads their Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters or Recruitee boards in a similar job schema, so you can merge both datasets into one remote jobs feed.
• Only what's new at those companies. hiring-changes-monitor returns the jobs each company opened or closed since your last run.
