Scrape RemoteOK remote jobs by skill, location, salary, and date

RemoteOK Jobs Scraper extracts structured remote job data from RemoteOK.

It saves job rows with company, title, tags, location, salary range, apply link, source link, logo, and scrape timestamp.

You can filter jobs by skills, keywords, location text, salary range, posting date, and maximum item count.

The actor is designed for repeatable monitoring jobs where you need spreadsheet-ready results without manual browsing.

Who is it for?

Recruiters use it to track newly posted remote roles by stack, seniority, market, or company segment.

Job-board operators use it to populate newsletters, dashboards, and niche remote-work directories.

Market analysts use it to study remote hiring demand, salary ranges, hiring companies, and skill tags.

Lead-generation teams use it to find hiring companies and open roles that indicate buying intent.

Developers use it to automate remote-job feeds and integrate RemoteOK listings with their own systems.

Why use this actor?

Remote job listings change quickly.

Manual copy-paste is slow and error-prone.

This actor gives you structured rows that are ready for export, automation, and API use.

It supports precise filters so you can keep runs small and focused.

It also includes source URLs so each row can be verified from the original listing.

Use as an RSS feed

You can turn the latest dataset items from a saved Apify task into an RSS feed. Create an actor task with your preferred input, then use the task's last-run dataset endpoint with format=rss, fields, and outputFields:

https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-tasks/[TASK_ID]/runs/last/dataset/items?format=rss&fields=position,sourceUrl,description,date&outputFields=title,link,description,pubDate&token=[APIFY_TOKEN]

Use the fields list to select this actor's dataset columns, and outputFields to map them to RSS item fields such as title, link, description, and pubDate. Keep your Apify API token private; do not embed tokenized feed URLs in public websites, public repositories, or client-side code.

How much does it cost to scrape RemoteOK jobs?

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing.

You pay a small start fee plus a small amount for each saved job row.

The default prefilled run is intentionally small so first tests stay inexpensive.

For large monitoring workflows, use filters and date limits to keep exports focused.

Final platform pricing is visible on the Apify actor page before you start a run.

FAQ and troubleshooting
