⚠️ Important Notes

• Salary data is NOT available in WWR RSS feeds — salary fields are always null
• Employment type defaults to "full-time" — not exposed in the RSS feed
• Each feed returns recent listings only — not a full historical archive
• Attribution: results include source_url links back to weworkremotely.com

🔗 Also by inlifeprojects

• Himalayas Remote Jobs Scraper — search remote jobs from Himalayas.app by keyword, seniority, employment type, and country. Supports full pagination up to 500 results per keyword with automatic deduplication.
• RemoteOK Remote Jobs Scraper — scrape the most recent remote jobs from RemoteOK.com by skill tag (javascript, python, react, devops, design and more). Uses RemoteOK's official public JSON API — no proxy, no auth, no browser. Completes in under 5 seconds.
