What This Actor Does

We Work Remotely is one of the largest remote-only job boards. This Actor turns any WWR category into a structured dataset. For every job it returns:

• Company & role — hiring company, job title, category (e.g. Full-Stack Programming, Design)
• Remote details — allowed region (Anywhere in the World / USA Only / Europe Only …) and company headquarters
• Full description — the complete job description as clean text
• Links & dates — the apply / company URL, the WWR posting URL, and the published date

Point it at one or many category feeds and it returns every job in each, deduped across categories.

Why Use This

• Remote-only, curated. WWR is 100% remote roles from real companies — a high-signal source without the on-site noise of general job boards.
• Complete job data. Each record includes the full description, region and company HQ — not just a title and a link.
• All categories, one run. Programming, design, devops, support, sales & marketing, product, finance and more — mix and match.
• Fast and cheap. Pure-HTTP with a browser-grade fingerprint — no headless browser — so it stays quick and inexpensive.

Quick Start

Run it in the console (no code)

1. On weworkremotely.com, open a category (e.g. Remote Programming Jobs).
2. Copy the URL, e.g. https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs.
3. Paste it into WWR category URLs (add as many categories as you like), set Max jobs, and click Start.
4. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or push to Google Sheets, a webhook or a database.

Run it via API (Python)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {
    "startUrls": [
        "https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs",
        "https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-design-jobs",
    ],
    "maxItems": 200,
}

run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/weworkremotely-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["company"], "·", job["jobTitle"], "·", job["region"])

Filter to worldwide-remote roles (Python)

run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/weworkremotely-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": ["https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs"],
    "maxItems": 300,
})
rows = list(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())
worldwide = [r for r in rows if "anywhere" in (r.get("region") or "").lower()]
print(len(worldwide), "roles open worldwide")

Build a remote job feed (Node.js)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const CATEGORIES = [
  'remote-programming-jobs', 'remote-design-jobs', 'remote-devops-sysadmin-jobs',
  'remote-customer-support-jobs', 'remote-sales-and-marketing-jobs',
];
const run = await client.actor('YOUR_USERNAME/weworkremotely-scraper').call({
  startUrls: CATEGORIES.map(c => `https://weworkremotely.com/categories/${c}`),
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.length, 'remote jobs across', CATEGORIES.length, 'categories');

3. Remote-work market research

Quantify remote hiring by category, region (worldwide vs country-restricted) and company over time.

Tips

• Add every category you care about to startUrls — the Actor dedupes jobs that appear in more than one.
• region tells you where a role is open (e.g. "Anywhere in the World", "USA Only", "Europe Only") — filter on it for eligibility.
• maxItems: 0 returns all jobs in the provided categories.
• Schedule it with Apify Schedules to keep a fresh remote-jobs feed.
