Remote Jobs Scraper

Remote Jobs Scraper reads six boards for remote work, Himalayas, Remote OK, Remotive, Jobicy, Working Nomads and We Work Remotely, and puts their jobs into one table with the same fields for all: title, company, category and tags, employment type, where candidates may live, salary as numbers with currency and period, posting date and link. Click Start with the prefilled keywords engineer and developer to try it. Each board's public feed sets how many jobs a run can see; Remotive's carried fewer than 20 in September 2026. It costs $1.00 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan ($0.50 on Business), and the $5 of monthly credit in Apify's Free plan covers about 5,000 jobs.

One set of fields for all six boards

Field	Description
source, sourceName	The board, as himalayas, remoteok, remotive, jobicy, workingnomads or weworkremotely, and its display name such as We Work Remotely.
title, company, companyLogo	Job title and company as the board publishes them, and a link to the logo.
category, tags	The board's main category, e.g. Developer on Himalayas, and its tags: skills on We Work Remotely, tags on Remote OK, role categories on Himalayas.
employmentType	full_time, part_time, contract, freelance, internship, temporary, volunteer or other. Empty when the board gives none.
seniority	Level such as Senior or Mid-level. Only Himalayas and Jobicy publish it.
locationRestriction, countries	Where candidates may be based, in the board's words, e.g. United States or Anywhere in the World, and the countries as a list where the board names them.
timezones	Time zones candidates must work in, as hours from UTC, e.g. -5. Himalayas only.
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod	Pay as numbers, e.g. 225000 to 265000 USD yearly. The period can also be monthly, weekly, daily or hourly: Remotive's $90 - $150 /hour gives 90 to 150 hourly. Empty when the board publishes no pay.
salaryText	Pay as Remotive writes it, e.g. $90k - $105k, kept next to the numbers.
companySlug, companyUrl, companyHeadquarters	The company's slug on Himalayas (cribl), and its website and headquarters as We Work Remotely lists them.
postedAt, expiresAt	Publication and expiry time in UTC. Expiry comes from Himalayas and We Work Remotely.
description	Job text as plain text, cut to the first 300 characters unless Include the full description is on.
url, applyUrl	The job on its board and the application link the board gives.
key, jobId	source:jobId, the same for a job in every run, and the board's own ID, which on Himalayas and We Work Remotely is a URL.

How to scrape remote job boards

1. In Job boards, keep all six or list only the ones you want, using the IDs from the source field.
2. Add Keywords (any of). A job stays when its title, company, category or tags contain one of them. Himalayas also receives the keywords as a search on its own site, so its matches come from its whole list; the other boards are filtered as they are read.
3. Narrow with Candidate locations (any of), Employment types, Minimum salary and Posted within the last N days. A location can be a country name, a two-letter code or a region (Germany, DE, Europe), and a country also matches jobs open to its whole region, so USA finds jobs for North America. Jobs open to anyone anywhere pass the location filter, and jobs without published pay pass the salary filter.
4. Set Maximum jobs per board, 500 by default and counted before filtering, and Maximum rows for the whole run. Turn on Include the full description when 300 characters are not enough.
5. Click Start. Rows arrive board by board in the Output tab, where you can download them as CSV, Excel or JSON; the API serves the same dataset.

A daily alert for Python and data jobs open to candidates in Germany, as API input:

}

Example output

One job from a run on 29 September 2026, with the description cut to 300 characters, as it is by default.

How much does it cost to scrape remote jobs?

	Free plan	Starter	Scale	Business
1,000 jobs	$1.00	$0.80	$0.65	$0.50

You pay only for the events in the table. There is no start fee, and compute time and proxies are included.

A run that returns 1,000 jobs costs $1.00 on the Free plan and $0.50 on Business. Jobs dropped by any filter, listings past their expiry date, a job met twice on the same board (for example in two We Work Remotely feeds) and jobs the new-only mode holds back cost nothing.

Limits

• Remote OK, Remotive, Jobicy and Working Nomads publish only their newest jobs, so a run sees a snapshot of them. Schedule it to collect jobs as they appear.
• 88 of 352 jobs in a September 2026 run had pay figures. Salaries stay in the currency the board publishes. Minimum salary is a yearly amount: monthly pay is multiplied by 12, weekly by 52, daily by 260 and hourly by 2,080 before the comparison, and currencies are not converted.
• countries is filled only where the board lists countries (Himalayas and We Work Remotely). Remote OK gives a free-text location.
• verified is meant for Remote OK's mark of verified companies, but Remote OK did not send it in September 2026, so it is empty.
• If a board does not answer, the run goes on with the others, and the SUMMARY record in the key-value store names the board and the error.
• A vacancy posted on two boards comes back once per board, each row with its own link.

What each board contributes

Board	What it adds	Jobs a run reads
Himalayas	Salaries, seniority, candidate countries and time zones. Keywords search its whole list, more than 90,000 jobs in September 2026.	Up to Maximum jobs per board
Remote OK	Tags, and yearly USD salaries on some jobs	Its newest 99
Remotive	Category, tags and pay as text	Its public feed, 16 to 18 jobs in September 2026
Jobicy	Industries, seniority and salaries	Its newest 100
Working Nomads	Category and tags	Its newest, 52 to 57 in September 2026
We Work Remotely	The main feed plus ten category feeds, candidate countries, company headquarters and website	250 to 300 listings across its feeds in September 2026

A daily feed of new remote jobs

With Return only jobs new since the last run on and a Watch name or a saved task, each run returns only jobs that no earlier run under that name returned. Jobs held back by Maximum rows or by the run's maximum cost do not count as returned, so the next run sends them. Jobs that a run did not read are kept in the record for 60 days, so a job that drops out of a feed and comes back is not sent twice. The CHANGES record lists the jobs added and removed since the previous run.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape remote job boards?

All six boards publish these jobs through public feeds and interfaces that need no account or key, and the actor collects nothing about candidates. Several boards ask that republished listings link back to the original and name the board; every row carries the listing's url for that. You are responsible for how you use the data.

Why did a run return fewer jobs than I expected?

Most boards serve a short feed, and every filter drops jobs before they count. The SUMMARY record shows how many jobs each board gave and how many of them were returned, and how many jobs each filter removed across the run; when no job passes, the run log names the filter that dropped the most. In one September 2026 run with the keywords engineer and developer, 667 jobs were read and 352 returned.
