Remote Jobs Scraper — RemoteOK + Remotive Listings in One Feed

Launch pricing: this actor currently adds no fee — run it on your Apify free-plan credits. Try it, bookmark it, wire it into your stack.

A remote jobs scraper that merges two boards into one clean dataset: scrape remote jobs from RemoteOK and Remotive in a single run, keyword-filtered and deduplicated by URL. Use it as a RemoteOK scraper, a Remotive scraper, or both at once — effectively a remote job listings API you can schedule daily without writing a line of code.

Two job boards, one JSON feed — with a hard guarantee: a run that finds nothing fails loudly instead of returning an empty dataset.

Who uses this

• Job-board & newsletter builders — feed fresh listings into niche boards, digests and Telegram channels.
• Recruiters & sourcers — monitor which companies are hiring for which stacks, week over week.
• Labor-market researchers — tag frequency and posting volume per stack over time is a free demand signal.
• Job seekers who automate — a daily keyword run beats refreshing two sites.

Recruiters: every executive departure is an open seat — the Executive Changes Tracker turns SEC filings and newswires into those trigger leads.

How it works

The actor pulls the public JSON feeds of RemoteOK (/api) and Remotive (/api/remote-jobs), normalizes both into one record shape, filters by your keywords (matched against title, company and tags), and deduplicates by listing URL. Source values are normalized case-insensitively — unknown source names fall back to both boards instead of producing an empty run.

Output

One record per listing:

{
  "source": "remoteok",
  "title": "Dispatch Charlottetown Police Services",
  "company": "City of Charlottetown",
  "salaryMin": null,
  "salaryMax": null,
  "tags": ["education", "non tech", "ops"],
  "location": "Charlottetown, ",
  "url": "https://remoteOK.com/remote-jobs/remote-dispatch-charlottetown-police-services-city-of-charlottetown-1134852",
  "postedAt": "2026-07-14T08:38:00+00:00",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-15T09:35:02.508Z"
}

• Remotive records additionally carry salaryText (free-text salary), category and jobType.
• source tells you which board each record came from; url links back to the original post.

Input

Field	Default	Description
keyword	engineer (prefill)	Filter by keyword in title/company/tags; empty = all listings
keywords	—	Match any of several keywords
sources	["remoteok", "remotive"]	Boards to fetch (case-insensitive; unknown values fall back to both)
maxItems	500	Stop after this many jobs

The default run needs no configuration — an empty input returns all current listings from both boards.

Reliability & limits

• Salary fields are often null — most boards don't publish structured salaries. RemoteOK sometimes fills salaryMin/salaryMax; Remotive usually only has free-text salaryText.
• The feeds return current listings (a few hundred), not archives — schedule daily runs and accumulate if you need history.
• Stable public JSON feeds, no HTML parsing — listings originate from RemoteOK and Remotive, and links back to the original posts are included in every record (attribution requested by RemoteOK).

Paste this output into…

• Google Sheets — =IMPORTDATA("https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/exuberant_volley~remote-jobs-scraper/runs/last/dataset/items?format=csv&clean=1&token=YOUR_TOKEN") for a live jobs sheet.
• Make / n8n — schedule daily, fetch .../runs/last/dataset/items, dedupe on url against your datastore, and push only NEW listings to Slack/email.
• Newsletter digest (builders) — daily keyword run → group by tags → LLM-summarize into a "10 new remote React jobs this week" section, links included.
