Remote Jobs Scraper — RemoteOK, We Work Remotely, Himalayas & Arbeitnow

Pull every current remote job from four job boards in one run, de-duplicated and returned as clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

Most job scrapers cover a single board. Roles get cross-posted, so a single board gives you an incomplete picture and four separate scrapers give you the same job three times. This one merges all four and collapses the duplicates for you.

What you can do with it

• Build a job board or aggregator — a ready-made, refreshed feed of remote roles you can publish straight to your own site.
• Recruiting and talent research — see who is hiring for which roles, and at what salary, across the remote market.
• Salary benchmarking — thousands of listings carry structured min/max salary and currency.
• Lead generation — companies actively hiring are companies actively spending. Filter by role to find them.
• Market and competitor tracking — watch a named list of companies and see every role they open.
• Feed an AI agent or RAG pipeline — clean, flat records with full description text, no HTML wrangling required.

alsoOn tells you which other boards carried the same role — useful for spotting how widely a company is advertising.

Not every board publishes every field — salary in particular is most complete on Himalayas. Fields that a board does not provide come back as null rather than being omitted, so your schema stays stable.

Pricing

Pay per result. You are charged only for jobs actually delivered — a run that matches nothing costs nothing.

Keeping it fresh

Use Apify Schedules to run this daily and your dataset stays current without you touching it. Pair with a webhook to push new listings straight into your database, Google Sheet or Slack channel.

Notes on sources

All four boards are read through their own public APIs or RSS feeds — no logins, no bot circumvention — which is why this actor is stable and does not silently break. If one board is temporarily unavailable the run continues with the others and notes which was skipped.

Data from RemoteOK is provided under their API terms, which ask that RemoteOK is credited as the source where listings are republished. The canonical url is included on every record so you can attribute correctly.
