Himalayas Remote Jobs API

Pull structured remote job data from Himalayas, a remote job board that has been running since 2020. The API is free, requires no authentication, and returns JSON with salary, location, company, and application details for every listing.

What does this Actor do?

This Actor connects to the public Himalayas Remote Jobs API and extracts remote job listings into Apify datasets. It supports two modes:

• Search mode — query jobs by keyword, country, seniority, employment type, company, timezone, and sort order. Uses the /jobs/api/search endpoint.
• Browse mode — paginate through the complete unfiltered feed of remote jobs. Uses the /jobs/api endpoint.

No API key or account is needed. The data covers thousands of verified remote companies and is refreshed daily.

Why Himalayas?

Himalayas has operated as a dedicated remote job board since 2020. Unlike general-purpose job aggregators, every listing on Himalayas is verified as genuinely remote. The platform indexes thousands of companies — from startups to publicly traded organizations — and includes structured salary data, timezone restrictions, and seniority levels that most job APIs leave out.

The API that powers this Actor is the same API used by developers, AI agents, and job boards to integrate Himalayas data into their own products. It is completely free with no paid tiers, no rate-limit keys, and no credit card requirement.

Features

• Free, public API — no API key, no signup, no authentication of any kind
• Structured salary data — min/max salary, currency, and seniority for every listing that includes compensation
• Granular filters — keyword, country, worldwide-only, seniority level, employment type, company, and timezone
• Location and timezone detail — country restrictions, timezone restrictions, and worldwide flags per job
• Automatic pagination — set a page limit or scrape the entire feed
• Export anywhere — JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect downstream via the Apify API
