WeWorkRemotely Job Listings Scraper

WeWorkRemotely Jobs Scraper: remote jobs by category, keyword and country, exported to a spreadsheet

WeWorkRemotely Jobs Scraper turns the listings on We Work Remotely into a dataset you can sort, filter and export. It is for job seekers, recruiters, remote-work newsletters and job-board builders. Each row is one remote job, with its title, company, category, employment type, region, the countries it accepts applicants from, skills, posting date and a link to the job.

• Category, keyword and employment-type runs. Pick a category such as Back-End or Design, search a keyword such as python, or paste any WeWorkRemotely list URL.
• Post-filters that match how remote jobs are posted. Keep only jobs open to applicants in your countries (countries), jobs from the last 24 hours to 90 days (timeFilter), given regions such as USA Only or EMEA, or given job types.
• Fast listing mode. With Include detail pages off, the Actor reads category feeds and returns jobs in seconds.
• Clean descriptions on request. Keep the job description as HTML, strip it to plain text, or leave it out to keep the dataset small.
• Pay per job, no login. The Pricing tab shows the per-job price. No WeWorkRemotely account or API key. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets.

Scope: This Actor covers WeWorkRemotely only. For general job boards use Indeed Job Scraper or SEEK Job Scraper. For freelance project posts use Upwork Job Scraper.

Output

Example item from listing mode (includeDetailPages: false):

{
    "jobId": "test-corp-senior-dev",
    "title": "Test Corp: Senior Developer",
    "url": "https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/test-corp-senior-dev",
    "employmentType": ["Full-Time"],
    "occupationalCategory": ["Back-End Programming"],
    "postedDate": "2026-05-28T07:25:37.000Z",
    "companyName": "Test Corp",
    "companyLogo": "https://we-work-remotely.imgix.net/logos/0171/5359/logo.gif",
    "location": "",
    "region": "Anywhere in the World",
    "applicantCountries": ["United Kingdom", "Germany"],
    "skills": ["Python", "AWS"],
    "tags": ["Full-Time", "Anywhere in the World"],
    "postedAge": "2d",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-05-30T10:00:00.000Z",
    "listingOnly": true
}

Notes:

• The description is in description (and descriptionHtml when the source gives HTML).
• With detail pages on, a job can also have salary (currency, min, max, value, unit), validThrough, applyUrl, companyUrl and directApply. WeWorkRemotely sometimes blocks job pages. When that happens the row falls back to listing data and listingOnly stays true, so check that field before relying on salary.
• Empty values are empty strings or empty arrays, not guesses.
• postedDate is an ISO timestamp in UTC.

Track remote jobs over time with scheduled runs

Run the same query on a schedule to catch new remote jobs early. Apify can run the Actor for you and send the results wherever you need them.

1. Save your input as a task

Open the Actor, set your category, keyword and countries, then click Save as a new task. A task is a saved input you can run again with one click or on a schedule.

2. Schedule the task

In Apify Console, go to Schedules, click Create new, choose how often to run (for example daily at 06:00 in your time zone), and add your task. See Schedules and How to create a schedule.

Watch how to schedule an Actor:

Or schedule a saved task:

Common schedules:

Use case	Frequency	Cron expression
New remote job alerts	Daily	0 6 * * *
Hiring trends by category	Weekly (Monday)	0 6 * * 1
Fast-moving postings	Twice a day	0 6,18 * * *

3. Send the results to a spreadsheet

Connect Google in the task's Integrations tab to save every run to Google Sheets or Google Drive automatically:

4. Compare runs

• New jobs: jobIds that appear for the first time, with postedDate.
• Removed jobs: jobIds that vanish between runs.
• Hiring by company: rows per companyName over time.
• Skills in demand: count of skills values per run.
• Salary changes: salary per jobId when detail pages are on (check listingOnly first).

FAQ

How many jobs can I get?

Up to maxItems (default 1,000). A category feed holds the most recent jobs the site lists, so the number per run depends on how many are currently open.

Why did I get few results?

Post-filters (countries, timeFilter, regions, jobTypes, minSalary) remove rows after collection. Loosen them or choose a wider category. Search URLs and keywords return one page of results.

Why is salary empty?

Many WeWorkRemotely jobs do not publish a salary, and job pages are sometimes blocked. Salary fields are only filled when the site provides them.

Do I need an account or proxy?

No account. Residential proxy is the default and recommended.

Is there an official API?

WeWorkRemotely offers RSS feeds but no full search API. This Actor adds filters, descriptions and export.

Is scraping WeWorkRemotely legal?

The Actor collects publicly visible job listings. You are responsible for following the site's terms and local law, including privacy rules if you store personal data.
