What does We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper do?

We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper extracts structured data from weworkremotely.com. Collect remote job listings from We Work Remotely's public RSS feeds, with an optional title keyword filter, for job boards, lead generation and market research. It works as an API for weworkremotely.com data: run it from Apify Console, on a schedule, or from your own code, and get clean, typed JSON with numbers as numbers and dates in ISO 8601.

What you get

Data	10 fields per item: url, title, company, region, category, companyHeadquarters, ...
Formats	JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or the Apify API
Price	$2.50 per 1,000 jobs, $6.30 with full descriptions, pay per result
Access	Public weworkremotely.com data only: no login, no cookies, robots.txt respected

Why use We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper?

• Recruiters and staffing agencies: see which companies are hiring, for which roles and where, and reach out first.
• Job aggregators and job boards: feed fresh, de-duplicated listings into your own board on a schedule.
• Market research and HR analytics: track hiring trends, salaries (where published), locations and remote share.
• AI agents and RAG: give an LLM live, structured job data instead of stale web pages.

Main features:

• Gets each source's results in as few requests as possible and stops at maxItems results.
• Filters: keywords (keywords), excludeKeywords (exclude keywords), location (location), remoteOnly (remote only), postedAfter (posted after), keyword (title keyword), includeDescription (include description), onlyNewSinceLastRun (only new jobs since the last run), so you only get (and pay for) the results you need.
• Polite by default: respects robots.txt, at most maxConcurrency parallel requests and a delay between requests.
• Checks every result against field validators, so layout changes show up as clear data-quality warnings.
• Runs on the Apify platform: scheduling, API access, integrations, monitoring and datasets you can export.

How much will it cost to scrape weworkremotely.com?

This Actor is priced per result: $2.50 per 1,000 results, with no extra charge for platform usage. That is about $2.50 for 1,000 jobs, $6.30 with full descriptions: 100 results cost $0.25 and 10,000 results cost $25.00. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops when it is reached. With Include description on, each job comes with its full description text and is priced $6.30 per 1,000 results (job with description). Filters (companies, keywords, location, remote only, posted after, only new jobs) run before charging: you never pay for jobs you filtered out.

Input

See the Input tab for full configuration options.

Field	Type	Required	Description
keywords	array	no	Keep jobs whose title (and description, when 'Include description' is on) contains any of these words. Case-insensitive.

keyword	string	no	Optional. Only return jobs whose title contains this text (case-insensitive).
includeDescription	boolean	no	Add the full job description text. Priced as 'job with description'.

Integrations and API

• Apify API: start a run and get the results in one HTTP request:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/compass_lab~weworkremotely-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs.rss"}], "maxItems": 100, "includeDescription": true}'

• Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("compass_lab/weworkremotely-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={"startUrls": [{"url": "https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs.rss"}], "maxItems": 100, "includeDescription": true})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

• JavaScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('compass_lab/weworkremotely-jobs-scraper').call({"startUrls": [{"url": "https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs.rss"}], "maxItems": 100, "includeDescription": true});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

• Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, webhooks: use the Apify integrations (Integrations tab) to send each run's results where you need them, or to start a run from your workflow.
• Schedules: run it hourly, daily or weekly from Apify Console (Schedules) and always have fresh jobs.

Tips and advanced options

• Keep Max items and Max pages as low as you need: fewer pages means a faster, cheaper run.
• Raise Delay between requests if the site responds slowly; keep Max concurrency low to stay polite.
• Missing values are null. Fields that often come back empty are listed in the run log as data-quality warnings.
• Companies: type company names (Stripe, Acme Inc) or paste job board URLs. Names are matched the way the platform writes them (Stripe Inc -> stripe); a company that can't be found is named in the log and skipped.
• Daily monitoring: schedule the Actor with Only new jobs since the last run on. Each run returns only jobs it hasn't returned before for the same input. The IDs are kept in a named key-value store called <actor-name>-seen-<id> (the run log prints its name); delete that store in Storage > Key-value stores, or change the input, to start over.
• Filters before charging: keywords, exclude keywords, location, remote only and posted after are applied before a job is saved, so filtered-out jobs cost nothing.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

Is it legal to scrape weworkremotely.com?

Checked 2026-10-01. We Work Remotely publishes public RSS feeds (linked in the site footer); its Terms and Conditions contain no clause against automated access or scraping. robots.txt allows everything except account/admin pages; the actor only reads the RSS feeds. Job data only, no personal data. Link back to the job URL when you republish.

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our Actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

How many results can I get?

Up to maxItems per run (0 means no limit), as many as the source lists. Each result is one dataset item, and you are only charged for items that are saved.

Can I run it on a schedule or from my own code?

Yes. Schedule it in Apify Console (Schedules), or call it with the run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint or the Python/JavaScript clients shown in Integrations and API above.

What are the limitations?

• Each RSS feed holds the latest ~25 jobs of its category; add more category feeds to startUrls for more results, and schedule runs to build a history.
• Company headquarters and website come from the ad text and are missing for some ads (null).
• Some promoted ads stay in the feed for a long time; use postedAt to filter old ones.
• Job content belongs to the posting companies and We Work Remotely: link to the original ad when you show it.

Where can I get help?

Report problems or ideas on the Issues tab. To call this Actor from your own code, see the API tab.
