Remote Jobs API — 6 boards, one normalized schema

Pull live remote job listings from six job boards — Remotive, Remote OK, Himalayas, Arbeitnow, Jobicy and We Work Remotely — into a single dataset with one clean schema. Built for job boards, recruiter tooling, lead lists and market research, and for AI agents that need structured job data in one call.

What you get

• One schema for six boards. Every record: jobId, board, sourceUrl (link back to the original posting), title, company, companyLogoUrl, locationText, remoteScope (worldwide / region-restricted / unspecified), employmentType, tags, salaryMin/salaryMax/ salaryCurrency/salaryPeriod where the board discloses pay, publishedAt, capturedAt — plus optional full descriptionText.
• Cross-board dedupe. The same posting published on several boards is returned once (normalized title+company matching); every record keeps its own board's sourceUrl.
• Filters that fit the job. Choose any subset of boards, add keyword queries[] (matched against title, company, location, type and tags), restrict recency with postedWithinDays, and cap volume per board (default 200, up to 2000).
• Pay per result — no subscription. You are charged per returned job record. A run report (unbilled) summarizes each board: fetched, emitted, deduplicated, warnings.

Copy-paste input

{
  "boards": ["remotive", "remoteok", "himalayas", "jobicy", "weworkremotely", "arbeitnow"],
  "queries": ["python"],
  "maxResultsPerBoard": 200,
  "postedWithinDays": 30,
  "includeDescription": false
}

boards is required (it is also the processing order); everything else is optional. Leave queries out to take everything each board serves.

Boards, sources and credit

This actor aggregates listings from these public sources; every record links back to the original posting (sourceUrl) and names its board (board):

• Remotive — remote jobs API. Listings are attributed to Remotive and link back to the Remotive posting.
• Remote OK — remote job board. Remote OK is credited as the source; every record links back to the Remote OK listing.
• Himalayas — remote jobs API.
• Arbeitnow — free public job board API.
• Jobicy — remote jobs API; Jobicy is credited with a direct link, and application buttons should route to the original job URL.
• We Work Remotely — public RSS feeds.

Please respect each source's terms when you redistribute this data; the sourceUrl field exists so your application can link back.

Limitations (read before you buy)

• Volume depends on the boards. Remotive's public API served only 13 jobs when this actor was verified (2026-09-16) and asks for at most ~4 requests a day; Jobicy returns at most 200 per call; Arbeitnow is mostly a German on-site board, so only its remote-flagged jobs are returned (~5% of its listings); We Work Remotely's RSS feeds serve the latest ~11-86 postings per category.
• Salary data exists only where the board discloses it (about a quarter of records carry numbers) and currency/period are kept as the board states them.
• Scope labels are derived from each board's own location text — check locationText for the raw wording.
• Descriptions are omitted by default (includeDescription: false) to keep records small; turn the flag on to include plain-text descriptions.
• Listing quality is the source's quality. Postings can be stale, expired or reposted; verify on the sourceUrl before making hiring decisions.
• Sources change without notice (feeds die, APIs change caps). The actor degrades gracefully — a failing board is reported in the run report, and the rest of the run continues.
