Himalayas.app Scraper

Browse and filter 100,000+ remote job listings on Himalayas.app by country and seniority. No API key required.

Why this scraper?

• No credentials needed — Himalayas's public API requires no registration or API key
• 100,000+ remote jobs — one of the largest remote-only job boards
• Working filters — country and seniority, both verified against live data
• Salary data — min/max salary with currency and pay period on many listings
• Detailed output — location restrictions, timezone restrictions, categories, full HTML description
• Cursor pagination — walk the whole feed with cursor, which never repeats a job

Note: Himalayas' API does not support keyword search. See Upstream limitations before you build against this.

Pagination

Browse mode only. Each response includes a nextCursor — pass it back as cursor to get the next page. Cursor paging never returns the same job twice. offset still works but Himalayas has deprecated it and will remove it in a future release.

totalCount tells you how many jobs match overall. Search mode returns a single page and cannot be paginated — see below.

Upstream limitations

Himalayas' public API accepts several parameters that it silently ignores. Rather than pass those through and appear to filter, this scraper does not accept them. All the underlying values are still on every job, so you can filter client-side. Verified against the live API on 2026-09-09:

Not supported	What upstream actually does	Do this instead
Keyword search	query=python and query=zzzznotreal return identical results; only 1 in 10 "python" hits mentions Python	Match on title / excerpt / description yourself
employmentType	Returns the unfiltered feed	Filter on the employmentType field
companySlug	Returns the unfiltered feed — companySlug=stripe returns no Stripe jobs	Filter on the companySlug field
sort	Every value except recent is rejected 400 Invalid sort, and recent does not actually order by date	Sort by pubDate yourself
Paging search results	offset is ignored on search; it always returns one page of ~20	Use browse mode + cursor to walk the full feed

Search mode filters that DO work: country and seniority. Both are verified on every request in this repo's test suite.
