Remote Jobs Scraper & Aggregator – 6 Boards, Job Alerts

Get remote jobs from up to 6 job boards in one clean, deduplicated JSON feed. The Actor reads each board's official public API or RSS feed: Himalayas, Remote OK, Jobicy and Arbeitnow by default, with Remotive and We Work Remotely as opt-in sources. It does not scrape HTML, run a browser or use proxies.

• 6 boards, one schema, no duplicates. When the same opening appears on several boards, you get one record, and the other boards are listed in also_listed_on.
• Filters that work across boards. Filter by keyword, category, region (for example, Europe also matches Germany), minimum salary normalized to annual USD, employment type and posting date.
• Job alerts for $1.50 per 1,000 jobs. Only-new mode charges only for jobs you haven't received yet, plus $0.005 per run.

Quick start

This is the prefilled input. It returns 3 of this week's Python or React remote jobs in seconds, for less than $0.01. Raise maxItems for real use.

What it does

• 6 official sources (4 on by default), one schema. Every job comes with the same fields, whichever board it came from: title, company, logo, allowed locations, timezone restrictions, salary, employment type, seniority, tags, category, posted date, apply URL, source URL.
• Cross-source deduplication. The same opening posted on several boards is matched by normalized company name plus a fuzzy title match. It comes back as one record, and the other boards are listed in also_listed_on. Region variants such as "Engineer - UK" and "Engineer - Americas" are kept as separate jobs.
• Salary normalization. Hourly, monthly and other periods are converted to annual (hourly × 2080, monthly × 12…), then to USD using live ECB exchange rates. You can filter by minSalaryUsd across every board and currency. The original amount, currency and period are kept too.
• Normalized categories. 17 categories that are the same across boards (Software Development, Data & AI, DevOps, Design, Marketing, Sales, Customer Support…). The board's own category is also kept.
• Region filter that understands geography. Europe also matches Germany, Poland and other European countries. USA also matches "Northern America" and "US timezones". Worldwide jobs are included unless you turn that off.
• Only new since last run. Each saved search remembers which jobs it already delivered, in a named key-value store. A scheduled run returns and charges only jobs you haven't seen, including jobs you saw earlier on a different board.
• Attribution kept. Every record has source_url (the listing on the original board), source_name and an attribution line, as the boards' API terms require.

Use cases

• Daily remote job alerts to Slack, email or Google Sheets (schedule + only-new mode + an Apify integration)
• Filling a niche remote job board or newsletter, with links back to the source boards
• Remote salary benchmarks by category, seniority and region
• Labour-market research: which companies hire remotely, and where
• Giving an AI job-search agent a fresh, structured remote job feed

minSalaryUsd	Top of the salary range, converted to annual USD.
postedWithinDays	0 means any age.
onlyNewSinceLastRun + stateKey	Alert mode. The memory is kept for 60 days.
descriptionMode	none, snippet (500 characters) or full plain text.

}

When the same job is on several boards, also_listed_on lists the other boards. For example, Video Data Annotator at iMerit Technology was found on Remote OK and on We Work Remotely (with weworkremotely enabled).

A run summary is saved to the default key-value store as OUTPUT: jobs fetched per source, counts after filtering and dedupe, how many were skipped as already seen, and any per-source errors. If one board fails, the run continues with the others.

Pricing

	This Actor	Typical aggregator on the Store
Price per job	$0.0015	$0.00199 (memo23/remote-jobs-aggregator) to $0.015 (benthepythondev), Store prices 2026-09
Start fee	$0.005 per run	varies
1,000 jobs	≈ $1.50	≈ $1.99 to $15
Sources	6 official APIs/RSS (4 default, Remotive + WWR opt-in)	varies
Cross-source dedupe, annual-USD salary, only-new alerts	Yes	varies

With only-new mode you pay only for jobs you haven't seen. If you set a maximum cost per run, the Actor stops cleanly at that limit. Jobs it didn't deliver are not marked as seen, so they arrive in the next run.

Sources and terms

Source	Endpoint	Terms we follow
Himalayas	himalayas.app/jobs/api (+ /search)	Link back to the Himalayas URL and name Himalayas. Maximum 20 jobs per request, fetched with cursor paging.
Remote OK	remoteok.com/api	Link back to the Remote OK URL (followed link, no nofollow) and name Remote OK. The Remote OK logo is not used.
Jobicy	jobicy.com/api/v2/remote-jobs	Credit Jobicy and send applicants to the Jobicy URL. The Actor checks at most once per hour (responses are cached for 1 h).
Remotive	remotive.com/api/remote-jobs	Link back to the Remotive URL and name Remotive. At most about 4 requests per day (cached for 6 h). Remotive itself delays its jobs by 24 h.
We Work Remotely	weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs.rss	The public RSS feed, with links attributed back to WWR. Applications go through the WWR listing.
Arbeitnow	arbeitnow.com/api/job-board-api	Free public API, used lightly, with links back. Only jobs flagged remote are kept.

Your obligations when republishing: show source_name and a followed link to source_url for every job. Remotive and Himalayas also ask that their jobs not be submitted to third-party job sites such as Jooble, Neuvoo, Google Jobs or LinkedIn Jobs. Remotive does not allow its jobs to be shown behind a sign-up or email wall. We Work Remotely's terms forbid building a service that competes with or replaces WWR. Remotive and We Work Remotely are off by default; if your use case conflicts with their terms, leave them off.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? Every run reads the live feeds. The exceptions are Remotive, if enabled (cached up to 6 h, and delayed 24 h by Remotive itself) and Jobicy (cached up to 1 h), because those boards ask for infrequent polling.

How many jobs per run? Usually 500–800 unique remote jobs posted in the last week across the default boards. Keyword searches also query the Himalayas search endpoint, which reaches further back.

Why doesn't every job have a salary? Many postings don't publish one. Structured salaries come from Himalayas, Jobicy, Remote OK and (if enabled) Remotive, where Remotive's free-text salary is parsed. With minSalaryUsd, turn on includeJobsWithoutSalary if you still want jobs with no published salary.

How does deduplication work? Company names are normalized (Inc, GmbH, Ltd… removed). Titles are normalized: gender tags such as (m/w/d), "Remote", "100%", and Sr/Jr are handled. Two postings with the same company and a title similarity of 0.88 or more are merged. The record with the most detail is kept (salary, logo, locations), and missing fields are filled in from the duplicates.

Can I run several alerts? Yes. Give each saved task its own stateKey.

Why only remote jobs from Arbeitnow? Arbeitnow is mostly an on-site board for Europe. This Actor keeps only the postings Arbeitnow flags as remote.

Use with AI agents / Apify MCP

The Actor works as a tool for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). Add the Actor as a tool and the agent can call it with structured input, for example:

"Find remote senior Python jobs open to Europe paying at least $90k, posted this week."

The agent fills in keywords, regions, minSalaryUsd and postedWithinDays, and gets back small JSON records. Use descriptionMode: "none" or "snippet" to keep context small. source_url gives the agent a link it can cite. You can also call the Actor from the Apify API, the Python or JS client, Make, Zapier or n8n.
