Remotive Jobs Scraper

Scrape remote job listings from Remotive by keyword and category, using its public JSON API. No API key, no login, no anti-bot.

The API returns up to your requested limit of jobs in a single response, so runs are fast and cheap. Each job description is cleaned from HTML down to readable plain text.

What you get per job

id, title, company, companyLogo, category, jobType, location (candidate required location), salary, tags, publishedAt, description (HTML stripped to text), and url.

Nullable fields: Remotive does not populate every field on every listing. salary, companyLogo, jobType, category and location are frequently null (especially salary), tags may be an empty array, and any of the text fields can be null if the source omits them. id, title and url are almost always present. This is normal for job boards — you only pay per returned row, never for the missing fields.

Input

Field	Notes
search	Keywords (title / company / tags / description). Optional. Leave empty to list the latest jobs.
category	Remotive category slug to filter by, e.g. software-development, design, marketing, sales, product, data, devops. Optional.
maxItems	Max jobs to return. Used directly as the API limit. Default 100, up to 500.

Category slugs

software-development, customer-service, design, marketing, sales, product, business, data, devops, finance-legal, human-resources, qa, writing, all-others, and more. The full live list is at https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs/categories.

Output

One dataset row per job, deduplicated by id. An empty search/category returns a single diagnostic row and is not charged.

Example

Input:

{ "search": "python", "category": "software-development", "maxItems": 30 }

Sample output row:

{
  "ok": true,
  "id": 1234567,
  "title": "Senior Python Engineer",
  "company": "Acme Remote Inc.",
  "companyLogo": "https://remotive.com/logos/acme.png",
  "category": "Software Development",
  "jobType": "full_time",
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "salary": null,
  "tags": ["python", "django", "aws"],
  "publishedAt": "2026-06-01T12:00:00",
  "description": "We are hiring a senior Python engineer...",
  "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-dev/senior-python-engineer-1234567"
}

Pricing

Pay-per-result: you are charged once per job row returned (ok: true). Runs that return no jobs (empty search/category) or fail (network/block) push a single uncharged diagnostic row (ok: false) and are never charged.

Troubleshooting

• Empty results / a single ok: false row — no jobs matched your search + category. Try broader keywords, drop the category, or confirm the category slug against https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs/categories.
• RATE_LIMITED / NETWORK diagnostic — the public API briefly throttled or was unreachable; the actor retried with backoff. Re-run, lower maxItems, or enable a proxy only if it persists.

Notes

The Remotive API returns all matching jobs in one response (there is no page parameter), so maxItems is passed straight through as the limit. Keep it to a few hundred at most. The actor sends User-Agent: dami-studios-actor as requested by Remotive.
