Remotive Jobs Scraper: remote job listings with salary, tags and full text

Search Remotive by keywords, by category, or just take the newest listings. Each row is one job: the title, the company, the category, the job type, the salary when the employer published one, the tag list, the publish date, the apply URL and the whole description as plain text.

Everything on Remotive is remote work. That does not mean you can be anywhere. location is the region the employer will hire from, and plenty of listings say "USA only" or "Europe only" while still being fully remote. Read that field before you treat a row as reachable.

Input	Keywords, a category slug, or neither
Output	One row per job
Ceiling	500 jobs per run
Account needed	None, and no API key
Price	$2.00 per 1,000 jobs, flat on every plan

🔍 What Remotive Jobs Scraper does

One run asks Remotive once and turns the answer into rows. There is no paging to wait for, so a 500-job run takes about as long as a five-job one.

search matches across the title, the company, the tags and the description, so python catches jobs that never say Python in the title. category narrows by Remotive's own slugs: software-development, customer-service, design, marketing, sales, product, business, data, devops, finance-legal, hr, qa, writing and all-others.

Leave both empty and you get the most recent listings, which is the setup for a daily feed.

Jobs are deduplicated on Remotive's own id before anything is delivered, so a run cannot bill you twice for the same listing.

📥 What you give it

{
  "search": "python",
  "category": "software-development",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Field	Default	What it is
search	none	Keywords matched against title, company, tags and description. The Console shows python as an example, but that is a prefill, so an API call has to send its own.
category	empty	A Remotive category slug from the list above. Passed through exactly as you type it and not checked first, so spell it the way Remotive does.
maxItems	100	1 to 500. One request fetches them all, so this is the hard ceiling for a run.
notionConnector	none	Optional. Writes every delivered job into your Notion. Authorise a connector once under Settings, API and Integrations, MCP connectors, then pick it here.
notionParentId	none	Optional. The Notion data source id to write into. Leave it empty and the pages are created privately in your workspace.
proxyConfiguration	off	Optional network setting. Off is right for a normal run.

📤 What you get back

A real row from a recent run, with the description cut short here for length:

{
  "ok": true,
  "id": 1680495,
  "title": "Remote Office Assistant",
  "company": "Coalition Technologies ",
  "companyLogo": "https://remotive.com/job/1680495/logo",
  "category": "Marketing",
  "jobType": "full_time",
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "salary": "$31,2k- $52k",
  "tags": ["CSS", "excel", "frontend", "git", "html", "illustrator", "magento", "photoshop", "php", "shopify", "wordpress", "MySQL", "startup", "responsive", "themes", "bootstrap", "insurance", "jQuery", "Ajax"],
  "publishedAt": "2026-09-11T20:16:48",
  "description": "Coalition Technologies is seeking a reliable, detail-oriented, and highly organized Remote Office Assistant to support administrative, bookkeeping, billing, reporting, data entry, and internal operations tasks. ..."
}

Field	What it is
location	Where the candidate has to be. Worldwide really does mean anywhere.
salary	Exactly the string the employer typed, which is why that one reads $31,2k- $52k. Expect ranges, currencies, hourly rates, and an empty string when they published nothing. Parse it defensively.
jobType	Remotive's own wording, like full_time or contract.
tags	The employer's tag list. Useful for filtering, but as you can see above it is not always tidy.
publishedAt	Remotive's publication timestamp, with no timezone suffix.
description	The full posting, HTML stripped to plain text. Line breaks survive, formatting does not.
id	Remotive's job id. Your dedupe key across runs.
companyLogo	A Remotive URL that redirects to the logo image.

🧾 Reading the output

Jobs carry ok: true. Anything with ok: false carries an errorCode and is never charged.

Code	What it means
NO_RESULTS	Remotive answered with an empty list. Usually a keyword nobody has used, or a category slug that does not exist.
RATE_LIMITED	Remotive asked the run to slow down and it could not finish. Try again shortly.
NETWORK	Remotive was unreachable or answered with something unusable. Re-run it.

One diagnostic row does not fail the run, so check for ok: false rather than run status.

The Console's Overview table shows title, company, location, job type, date and URL, and renders diagnostic rows as blank lines. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel for the description, salary and tags.

▶️ How to run it

1. Open Remotive Jobs Scraper and click Try for free.
2. Type into Search keywords, or leave it empty for the newest listings.
3. Put a slug into Category slug if you want one area only.
4. Set Max jobs, then click Start.
5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML.

💰 How much does it cost?

$2.00 per 1,000 jobs. Flat on every Apify plan, no volume tiers.

You pay per job row. Repeated listings inside a run are dropped before billing, diagnostic rows cost nothing, and a search that matches nothing does not charge you at all.

💡 What people use it for

• Running a daily remote-jobs feed into Slack or Notion with the search left empty and maxItems low.
• Building a filtered board for one stack, by searching the language and keeping only rows whose location includes your region.
• Tracking which companies keep hiring remotely, by grouping on company across weeks.
• Reading salary text at scale to see what a role actually pays before applying.

🚧 What it does not do

• Remotive only. It does not reach other job boards or company career pages.
• No paging. 500 in one run is the ceiling. For more, run again with different keywords.
• No salary parsing. The field is whatever the employer typed, and it is often not a number.
• No date filter. Sort or filter on publishedAt after the fact.
• No company profiles, no application, no contact details. url sends you to the listing.
• Category slugs are not validated. A misspelt slug comes back as nothing found rather than a correction.
• Rows are a snapshot. Listings get filled and taken down.

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a Remotive account or key? No.

How do I get only jobs I can actually take? Filter on location. Worldwide is open, and anything naming a country or region is not.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Leave search empty, set maxItems to something small, run it daily and dedupe on id.

Why is salary blank? The employer did not publish one. Remotive does not invent it and neither does this.

Can I get more than 500 in one go? No. Split the work by keyword or category across several runs.

Is this legal? Remotive publishes these listings through an open API meant to be read, and job postings are company content rather than personal data. Apify's write-up on scraping and the law is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the keywords, the category and the run id. The errorCode on the diagnostic row usually names the problem by itself.
