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=title,url,description,publicationDate&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 Remotive jobs?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small start fee and then a per-result fee for each job listing saved.

For example:

• A short test run with 25 jobs is inexpensive.
• A scheduled monitoring run can cap results with the limit input.
• Empty-result searches do not create per-result charges because no job rows are saved.

Exact platform pricing is shown on the Apify actor page before you run it.

• Export to CSV when sharing with recruiters or sales teams.

Data quality notes

Remotive controls the original listing content.

Some fields can be empty when the original job does not provide them.

Salary is text, not a normalized numeric range, because job postings use different formats.

Tags are returned exactly as available from the listing source.

Legality and responsible use

This actor collects public job listings from Remotive and keeps source URLs in the output.

Use the data responsibly.

Do not present Remotive jobs as your own original listings.

Respect Remotive's notices and link users back to the source job page when appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Why did I get zero results?

Your keyword, category, company, location, or max-age filters may be too narrow.

Try removing filters or increasing the listing age window.

Why are fewer jobs returned than my limit?

The source may have fewer public matching jobs than your requested limit.

The actor saves all matching public jobs it receives up to the limit.

Why is salary missing?

Not every Remotive job includes salary text.

When salary is not available, the output uses null.
