Remote Jobs & Work From Home Jobs: 5 Boards, Salaries, Alerts

This remote jobs scraper collects remote job listings from five job boards that publish an official public API or feed (it reads the APIs and feeds, not web pages), merged into one clean schema with salaries, location restrictions, categories and a cross-board duplicate check. Run it daily with Only jobs new since my last run and you have a remote-job alert feed.

Board	How we read it
Remote OK	official public API
Jobicy	official public API
Working Nomads	public API linked from their site
Arbeitnow	official public API (remote jobs only)
4dayweek.io	official public API (remote jobs only; employers with 4-day-week and similar schedule perks)

No login, no scraping of web pages, no proxies needed.

What data can you extract from remote job boards

• One schema for all boards. Same field names whatever the source: title, company, logo, company URL, category, tags, job type, seniority, location restrictions, salary, posted date, apply link, plain-text description.
• Salaries that are usable. Taken from the board's data when it has one, and detected in the job text when it does not ($130,000 - $160,000, £46k–£54k, 80k-100k USD, hourly and monthly pay). Every job says where its salary came from (salarySource: api or text), plus a yearly equivalent (salaryYearlyMin / salaryYearlyMax) so you can filter and sort across boards.
• Location restrictions. locationRestrictions as a list (Worldwide, USA, Europe...), a worldwide flag and time zones where the board gives them (the boards mostly list a country or region; some jobs are open worldwide). Filter with Location restriction contains.
• Cross-board de-duplication. The same company and the same normalized title on two boards is returned once. alsoOn lists the other boards and alsoOnUrls links to them. Missing fields (salary, logo, tags) are filled from the other listing. You pay for one job, not two.
• Filters: keywords (title, category, tags), exclude keywords, categories, location restriction, job types, minimum yearly salary, only jobs with a salary, posted within N days, which boards.
• Only new jobs. Remembers what you already received (also across boards) and returns only new ones. Perfect for scheduled daily alerts.
• Reliable by design. Boards are fetched in parallel. If one board is down, the rest still arrive, and the run status names the failed board and why (also in the NOTES record). A SUMMARY record shows what each board returned.

Output (one row per job)

A real row from a test run, merged from two boards (description shortened):

}

workSchedule is only filled by 4dayweek.io (for example 4_day_week, 9_day_fortnight, unlimited_pto). Fields a board does not publish are null or empty, see "How complete is the data" below.

How complete is the data

Share of rows with the field filled, from one test run of 1,505 jobs (this varies by day):

Board	Logo	Company URL	Tags	Job type	Location	Salary	Posted date
Jobicy	100%	1%	100%	100%	100%	52%	100%
4dayweek.io	98%	98%	100%	25%	100%	62%	100%
Remote OK	2%	4%	99%	4%	46%	27%	100%
Arbeitnow	0%	0%	100%	95%	95%	1%	100%
Working Nomads	2%	2%	98%	2%	100%	9%	100%

Overall about 45% of jobs had a salary (33% straight from the board's data, 12% detected in the job text). Titles, companies, links, descriptions and posting dates are always present.

How to find remote jobs by keyword, salary and location

Set Keywords, Location restriction contains, Minimum yearly salary and Posted within (days), then run. Turn on Only jobs new since my last run and schedule a daily run to get a remote-job alert feed.

Work from home jobs: how to find them

Set Location restriction contains to Worldwide, Posted within (days) to 7, and turn on Only jobs new since my last run. Schedule the Actor once a day and every run returns only the work from home jobs posted since the last one.

Input example

{
  "keywords": ["python", "data engineer"],
  "locationContains": ["Worldwide", "Europe"],
  "minSalary": 80000,
  "postedWithinDays": 14,
  "onlyNew": true,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Use cases

• Job seekers: a daily list of new remote roles that match your skills, location and salary floor.
• Recruiters and sourcers: watch which companies are hiring remotely, and for what.
• Newsletters and niche job boards: a steady, de-duplicated feed (read the attribution rules below).
• Market research: remote salary bands by category, share of worldwide vs region-locked roles, and the 4-day-week market.

Attribution: please read before you display these jobs

Each board allows use of its data on the condition that you credit it. Every row has sourceUrl and an attribution text for that. If you show these jobs to other people:

• Link to the job's own page (sourceUrl / applyUrl) and name the source. applyUrl is always the board's own listing page; we do not replace it with the employer's link.
• Remote OK: link back to the Remote OK job URL with a normal (followed) link and mention Remote OK as the source. Do not use the Remote OK logo.
• Jobicy: keep Jobicy as the source with the Jobicy job URL, and send applicants through that URL.
• Arbeitnow, 4dayweek.io: link back to arbeitnow.com / 4dayweek.io.
• Do not present jobs as your own postings.

Honest limits

• Only five boards. We include only boards whose public API or feed terms allow this kind of use. Some well-known boards are left out on purpose because their terms forbid passing their jobs on to aggregators or third-party sites (for example Himalayas, Remotive and We Work Remotely), or because they require per-app registration.
• Overlap between boards is small. In our test about 2 to 3 in 100 listings appeared on more than one board (36 of 1,505). De-duplication works, but do not expect large savings.
• Each board shows a different window. Remote OK ~100 latest jobs, Working Nomads ~50, Jobicy the last 7 days (200 per page), Arbeitnow and 4dayweek.io are paginated (set Max pages per board). This is a feed of recent remote jobs, not a full archive.
• Arbeitnow is a German board. Only listings it marks remote are returned, and most of them are in Germany or Europe.
• Location data is whatever the board publishes. Remote OK often leaves it empty, so those jobs have no restriction listed and never match a location filter. Arbeitnow and Remote OK give a place that may be the employer's base, not a restriction.
• Detected salaries are best-effort. Text detection only reads explicit ranges with a currency ($90,000 - $110,000); it can miss unusual formats, and pay for non-salary things can occasionally be misread. Currencies are not converted: the minimum salary filter compares the amount per year in the job's own currency. Check salarySource when it matters.
• Categories are mapped from each board's own names into shared groups (categoryGroup) with simple rules, and are not perfect.
• Same-title postings from one company on the same board stay separate (different openings or locations).
• Only new treats a job already delivered from any board as seen, even after it disappears from the first board. Re-posts of an old job under a new ID on the same board count as new. Schedule runs at most once per hour (Jobicy's rule for automated polling); once a day is plenty for alerts.
• The Actor does not apply to jobs or visit employer pages.

Remote jobs API

Call it from the Apify API, Python, JavaScript, Make, Zapier or n8n. Example with the Apify Python client:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

run = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>").actor("data-done-right/remote-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keywords": ["python"], "locationContains": ["Worldwide"], "minSalary": 100000, "postedWithinDays": 7})

Then read the jobs from the run's default dataset.

Use it in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor

Connect Apify's MCP server (mcp.apify.com) and your AI assistant can search remote jobs for you. For example: "find remote Python jobs open worldwide that state a salary over 100k and were posted this week." The main inputs are keywords, locationContains and minSalary.

How much does it cost

Pay per event: $0.0017 per job delivered (about $1.70 per 1,000 jobs, after de-duplication and filters), plus the standard Apify start fee. Paid Apify plans get 10% (Silver) to 20% (Gold and up) off. Max jobs caps your cost.

FAQ

Where can I find work from home jobs?

Run this Actor with Location restriction contains set to Worldwide. It reads five remote job boards in one run and returns work from home jobs in one clean list, with salaries where the board or the job text gives one.

Is there a remote jobs API?

Yes. Call the Actor from the Apify API or an Apify client (see the "Remote jobs API" example above) and read the jobs as JSON from the dataset. Filters for keyword, location, salary and posting date are inputs.

Are there 4 day work week jobs?

Yes. The 4dayweek.io board is included, and its jobs carry a workSchedule field such as 4_day_week. Select only that board to see 4 day work week remote jobs.

Which remote job boards does it cover?

Remote OK, Jobicy, Working Nomads, Arbeitnow and 4dayweek.io. Himalayas, Remotive and We Work Remotely are left out on purpose, because their terms do not allow passing their jobs on to aggregators.

Is it legal to scrape remote job boards?

It does not scrape web pages. It reads the public APIs and feeds these boards publish, and each row carries an attribution text and the board's own link. You must follow the attribution rules shown above if you display the jobs. This is not legal advice.

Can I get remote jobs with a salary?

Yes. Use Only jobs with a salary and Minimum yearly salary. About 45% of jobs had a salary in our test run (33% from the board's data, 12% detected in the job text), so expect those filters to keep a minority of rows.

How do I get only new remote jobs every day?

Turn on Only jobs new since my last run and schedule the Actor. It remembers jobs across all boards, so a job that appears on two boards is delivered once.

Do I need a login or API key?

No.

Does it apply to jobs for me?

No. It only lists jobs; it does not apply to them or visit employer pages.
