Remote Jobs Scraper: Remotive & RemoteOK Tech & Startup Jobs

Scrape verified remote tech and startup jobs from Remotive and RemoteOK into one deduplicated JSON/CSV schema: company, title, salary, region, tags, and URL.

What it does

Queries the official Remotive JSON API and RemoteOK JSON feed, normalizes fields, and deduplicates cross-posted remote jobs. Export clean, deduplicated data as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS, or connect directly via the Apify REST API, Python/JavaScript SDKs, CLI, MCP Server, n8n, Make, or Zapier — with no login, cookies, or browser overhead.

Use cases

• Remote Job Aggregators & Newsletters: Pull verified remote roles from Remotive and RemoteOK into a single normalized schema with automatic cross-board deduplication.
• B2B Outbound & Remote-First Company Prospecting: Identify remote-first companies actively hiring engineers, designers, or marketers along with salary ranges (salary) and tech tags (tags).
• Automated Slack / Discord Job Alerts: Schedule hourly or daily runs with onlyNew: true to post newly published remote jobs to community channels.
• Compensation & Global Hiring Trends: Analyze remote location restrictions (candidateLocation) and salary transparency across categories.

Pricing (Pay-Per-Result)

This Actor uses transparent Pay-Per-Event pricing with a $0.00 actor-start fee:

Event	What is charged	Price
job-result	Remote job scraped (One normalized remote job posting)	$0.0015 / result ($1.50 / 1,000 results)
apify-actor-start	Actor start fee	$0.00

Concrete pricing math

• job-result (Remote job scraped): 1,000 results = $1.50 (50 results = $0.07, 10,000 results = $15.00). Apify's $5.00/month Free Tier covers up to 3,333 results/month at $0.00 out-of-pocket.
• Empty runs (0 results) & skipped duplicates (onlyNew / onlyChanged): $0.00.

Data and compliance

Public job board feeds only. No candidate PII. Requests are rate-limited and routed through Apify Proxy. Per-input errors are recorded in the run's ERRORS key-value record and are never charged.

FAQ

Do I need an account, login, or API key?
No. This Actor queries public endpoints directly and requires zero credentials.

What happens if I start a run with empty {} input via API or CLI?
Every required input defines both prefill and default values in .actor/input_schema.json, so an empty {} run automatically returns 50+ live records out of the box.
