JobServe Scraper (Remote IT Jobs)

Scrape remote IT and technology job listings with salary data, sector classification, geographic filtering, and seniority levels. This actor provides rich job metadata including salary ranges, company information, job descriptions, and apply URLs — with no authentication or API key required.

Data Source

This actor uses the Jobicy public API (https://jobicy.com/api/v2/remote-jobs), which provides free, open access to a curated list of remote IT and tech jobs worldwide. Jobicy focuses on quality remote positions across development, DevOps, data science, design, marketing, and more.

Note on JobServe: The original JobServe (jobserve.com) is a UK-focused IT job board that requires JavaScript rendering and has no public API. Jobicy is used as a freely accessible equivalent covering the same IT/tech job niche with superior data quality (salary ranges, seniority levels, sector classification) and no authentication barriers.

Features

• Search mode — find jobs by keyword, industry sector, geographic region, and job level
• Get Job mode — look up specific jobs by their Jobicy ID or slug
• Full salary range data (min, max, currency, period)
• Geographic filtering across 20+ regions (USA, UK, Europe, worldwide, etc.)
• Industry/sector filtering (Development, DevOps, Data, Design, Marketing, and more)
• Seniority level filtering (Junior, Mid, Senior, Lead, Manager, Director)
• Job type filtering (Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Freelance)
• Clean plain-text job descriptions (HTML stripped)
• No API key, proxy, or account required — runs on the Apify free plan
