Remote OK Jobs Scraper

Remote OK Jobs Scraper reads the public job feed of remoteok.com by tag, one row per job: title, company, Remote OK's tags, the location written on the listing, the salary range in US dollars when the employer gives one, the posting date and the link. The form starts with the tags python and javascript and a limit of 50 jobs, so Start returns results within seconds. Each tag gives at most the 100 newest jobs with that tag, and for a narrow tag those reach back months. It costs $0.80 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan ($0.40 on Business), and the $5 of monthly credit in Apify's Free plan covers about 6,200 jobs.

What data does it return?

Field	Description
title, company	Job title and hiring company as posted, e.g. Solutions Delivery Manager at Benchling.
tags	Every tag Remote OK attaches to the job, such as biotech, sales or digital nomad. Jobs carry many broad tags: on 11 October 2026, exec was on 368 of 422 jobs.
locationRestriction	The location as the employer typed it: a city such as Boston, a country, Remote, or null when left blank.
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod	Pay range as numbers, e.g. 150000 and 200000, with USD and yearly. All four are null when the job shows no salary.
postedAt	When the job went up on Remote OK, as an ISO 8601 UTC timestamp.
verified	true when Remote OK marks the job as verified. It came on 6 of 422 jobs and is null on the rest.
description	The job text without HTML: its first 300 characters, or all of it with Include the full description. Full texts had a median length of about 3,200 characters.
url, applyUrl	The job page on remoteok.com. Remote OK gives the same page as the apply link.
jobId, key	Remote OK's numeric job ID, and remoteok:<id>, which the new-only mode compares between runs.
companyLogo, companySlug, companyUrl, companyHeadquarters, category, employmentType, seniority, countries, timezones, expiresAt, salaryText	Always empty here. The table is shared with our other remote job board scrapers, and Remote OK's feed has none of these values; its logo fields were blank in October 2026. source and sourceName are always remoteok and Remote OK.

How to scrape Remote OK jobs

1. In Tags, enter Remote OK tags, one per line: skills such as python, react or golang, or areas such as design, marketing, customer support or sales. With no tag, the actor reads the board's newest jobs overall.
2. Narrow the jobs if you want: Keywords (any of) keeps jobs whose title, company or tags contain one of the words, Exclude keywords drops them, Locations (any of) takes places such as US, Germany or Europe, Minimum salary is in US dollars per year, and Posted within the last N days drops older jobs.
3. Turn on Include the full description for the whole job text. The price per job stays the same.
4. Set Maximum rows and click Start. The jobs appear in the Output tab, and its export button gives CSV, Excel or JSON. The SUMMARY record in the key-value store shows how many jobs each filter removed and any tag that had no jobs.

Through the API, Python, Go and DevOps jobs from the last 30 days that are open to Europe or have no location, paying at least $100,000 where a salary is shown:

{
  "tags": ["python", "golang", "devops"],
  "locations": ["Europe"],
  "minSalary": 100000,
  "postedWithinDays": 30,
  "includeDescription": true,
  "maxItems": 500
}

How much does it cost to scrape Remote OK?

	Free plan	Starter	Scale	Business
1,000 jobs	$0.80	$0.64	$0.52	$0.40

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

Seven tags (python, react, devops, design, marketing, customer support, sales) gave 422 different jobs on 11 October 2026, which cost $0.3376 on the Free plan and $0.1688 on Business. A job found under several tags is returned and charged once, and jobs your filters drop or the new-only mode skips are not charged.

Limits

• Remote OK's feed lists only the newest jobs: up to 100 per tag, and about 100 without a tag. On 11 October 2026 the 100 newest python jobs went back to 19 June 2026, and 5 of them had been posted since 1 August. The main feed covered 31 July to 10 October.
• Tags overlap heavily. The seven tags above returned 690 jobs, of which 422 were different.
• Few jobs show pay: 14 of 422. Remote OK publishes two numbers without a period, so the actor labels them yearly USD, but 3 of the 14 were hourly rates such as 40 to 48. Minimum salary removes those along with low yearly ranges, and keeps every job without a salary.
• Locations are free text and not always clean: 43 of 422 jobs had none, and a few name a small town or an odd value. Locations (any of) keeps jobs with no location or marked Remote.
• Requests go one tag at a time with a pause between them, as Remote OK's robots.txt asks. Seven tags with full descriptions took about a minute, and the two prefilled tags 8 seconds.
• If Remote OK answers a tag with an error, the run moves on to the next tag and names the error in SUMMARY.

Daily alerts for new jobs

Turn on Return only jobs new since the last run, give the run a Watch name such as python-europe or save it as a task, and schedule it once a day. Each run then returns only the jobs it has not sent under that name before; a job stays remembered for 60 days after a run last saw it in the feed, so it does not come back as new. Jobs that passed your filters but did not fit under Maximum rows come with the following run. Because the feed holds only the newest 100 jobs per tag, a daily schedule is also the way to collect more than that over time.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Remote OK?

The actor reads Remote OK's public JSON feed at remoteok.com/api, a path its robots.txt allows. Remote OK's API terms ask that you name Remote OK as the source and link to the job's url when you publish its listings elsewhere. The rows describe jobs and companies and contain nothing about applicants. You are responsible for how you use the data.

Which tags can I use?

Any tag Remote OK uses, in lower case as on the site, for example python, react, golang, devops, design, marketing, customer support, sales or finance. A tag with no jobs leaves a warning in the log and in SUMMARY.

Can I combine Remote OK with other remote job boards?

Yes. The rows have the same columns as our Remote Jobs Scraper, Himalayas Jobs Scraper and We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper, so their datasets can be stacked into one table and told apart by source.
