🏠 Why the remote & salary data matters

FlexJobs is built around flexible work, so this actor surfaces exactly what remote-work analysts need: the remote level (100% Remote vs Hybrid), the parsed salary range, the schedule and career level, and the benefits — for every listing. That's a focused remote-jobs dataset, not a generic job dump.

---

🔁 Pagination & scale

The FlexJobs scraper paginates automatically. For every keyword or search URL it walks the result pages one by one (?page=1, ?page=2, …), reads the embedded listing data on each page, and keeps going until it reaches the last page reported by FlexJobs or hits your maxItems limit — whichever comes first. A single keyword can span hundreds of pages, so the actor can return thousands of de-duplicated job listings in one run.

• Every job is keyed by its unique FlexJobs id, so duplicates across pages (and across multiple keywords/URLs) are removed automatically.
• Set maxItems to cap the volume (default 200); the actor stops cleanly once the cap is reached.
• Combine several searchQueries and filtered startUrls in one run for broad coverage — results are merged and de-duplicated into a single dataset.
• The scraper rotates proxy sessions and retries failed requests, so large multi-page runs stay reliable. Schedule regular runs to keep the data current.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a FlexJobs account or API key? No. Just provide a search keyword or a FlexJobs search URL.

Does it detect remote vs hybrid? Yes — remoteOptions tags each job as 100% Remote, Hybrid, or flexible.

Does it include salary? Yes, when the listing states it. The salary range is parsed into salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryPeriod, plus the original salaryText.

Does it include benefits and career level? Yes — benefits, careerLevel and educationLevels are included where provided.

Can I filter by remote level, schedule or category? Yes. Apply filters on FlexJobs itself, then paste the resulting URL into startUrls.

Are results deduplicated? Yes. Each job is uniquely identified and appears once per run.

What formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, RSS and XML — via the dashboard or the API.

How do I keep data fresh? Schedule the actor to run on the interval you need; each run returns the current live listings.

📌 Tips for best results

• Start narrow, then widen. Test one keyword with a small maxItems, confirm the fields, then scale up.
• Use search URLs for filters. FlexJobs' own filters (remote level, schedule, category) give you exactly the segment you want.
• Compare on remote level. Segment by remoteOptions to analyze 100% Remote vs Hybrid demand.
• Schedule for freshness. The remote market moves daily; a scheduled run keeps your dataset current.
