Remote Jobs Scraper searches three remote job boards at once (Himalayas, Remote OK and We Work Remotely) and returns one clean table of remote jobs: title, company, salary range, where you can work from, seniority, tags, posted date, link and the full description as plain text. It is built for job seekers, recruiters, job-alert newsletters and anyone who wants to export remote job listings to Excel, CSV or JSON without copying them by hand. No login and no API keys are needed.

What does Remote Jobs Scraper do?

You give it one or more keywords (for example python, product designer or customer support) and pick the job boards. For each keyword and each board, the scraper collects the matching jobs and turns them into the same set of fields, so jobs from different boards sit side by side in one dataset.

How each board is searched:

• Himalayas: the scraper uses the Himalayas job search for your keyword and pages through the results until it reaches your limit. With no keyword, it pages through the newest Himalayas jobs.
• Remote OK: the scraper reads the Remote OK job feed and the feed for the tag that matches your keyword (for example product designer becomes the tag product-designer), then keeps the jobs whose title, company, tags or description contain the keyword.
• We Work Remotely: the scraper reads the We Work Remotely jobs feed and keeps the jobs whose title, company, tags or description contain the keyword.

Leave the keyword list empty to get the newest jobs from each board instead of a search. Every job links back to its page on the original board, and descriptions are converted from HTML to readable plain text (list items become lines that start with "- ").

What data can you extract?

Each job is one row with these fields. Fields that a board does not provide are null (or an empty list).

How to use Remote Jobs Scraper

1. Open Remote Jobs Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Type your keywords in Keywords, one per line (for example python, data engineer, customer support). Clear the list if you want the newest jobs with no search.
3. In Job boards, keep all three boards or pick only the ones you want.
4. Set Max jobs per board and keyword (default 50).
5. Turn Include full description off if you only need the table fields and want smaller rows.
6. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
7. Open the Output tab and export the jobs as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or connect the dataset to another tool.

To get new jobs every day, save the input as a task and add a schedule to it in Apify Console.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
keywords	list of text	["python"]	Job keywords. Each keyword is searched on every selected board. Leave the list empty ([]) to get the newest jobs instead.
sources	list	["himalayas", "remoteok", "weworkremotely"]	Which boards to search. Allowed values: himalayas, remoteok, weworkremotely. Empty means all three.
maxJobsPerSource	integer	50	Maximum jobs for each board and keyword, from 1 to 5,000. Remote OK and We Work Remotely only list their latest jobs (around 100), so they usually return fewer.
includeDescription	true/false	true	Adds the full job description as plain text in description.
proxy	object	{ "useApifyProxy": true }	Apify Proxy settings. The default works for most runs.

The limit applies to each board and keyword separately. Three keywords on three boards with maxJobsPerSource: 50 can return up to 450 jobs.

Example input:

{
  "keywords": ["python", "product designer"],
  "sources": ["himalayas", "remoteok", "weworkremotely"],
  "maxJobsPerSource": 100,
  "includeDescription": true,
  "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Note for API users: if you leave keywords out of the input, the default ["python"] is used. Send "keywords": [] to get the newest jobs without a keyword.

}

How much does it cost?

Remote Jobs Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay $1.00 per 1,000 jobs ($0.001 per job) on the Free plan. Apify platform usage is included in the price, so the job count is the only thing that sets the cost.

Plan	Price per 1,000 jobs
Free	$1.00
Bronze (-10%)	$0.90
Silver (-20%)	$0.80
Gold and higher (-30%)	$0.70

Worked examples on the Free plan:

• 1 keyword, 3 boards, 50 jobs each: up to 150 jobs = $0.15
• 10 keywords, 3 boards, 100 jobs each: up to 3,000 jobs = $3.00
• 5 keywords on Himalayas only, 2,000 jobs each: up to 10,000 jobs = $10.00

What you are not charged for:

• Error rows, for example when a board could not be loaded after several tries.
• Jobs skipped as duplicates: the same job URL found twice for the same keyword is returned only once.
• Boards that return no matching jobs.

Use cases

• Job alerts and newsletters: collect new Python, design, support or marketing jobs every day and send them to your readers.
• Job search: pull every remote job for your skills from three boards into one spreadsheet, then filter by salary, seniority or country.
• Salary research: compare published salary ranges by skill, seniority and currency.
• Hiring-market research: count how many companies are hiring remotely for a skill and how that changes over time.
• Lead generation: build a list of companies that are hiring remote staff right now.
• Recruiting: watch which companies post roles similar to the ones you fill.
• Job board aggregation: feed a niche remote job board or a Slack or Discord channel. Please credit the original board when you publish jobs.

Tips and limits

• Remote OK and We Work Remotely return fewer jobs. Their feeds only contain the latest jobs (around 100), so a high limit mostly affects Himalayas. Himalayas search pages through up to 250 result pages.
• Keyword matching on Remote OK and We Work Remotely is a simple text match: the keyword must appear in the title, company, tags or description. A short keyword like go can match many unrelated jobs, so prefer specific phrases such as golang.
• Salary is only there when the board publishes it. We Work Remotely jobs never have salary fields. Remote OK salaries are read as USD per year. On Himalayas, salaryCurrency can be filled even when salaryMin and salaryMax are empty.
• Locations are free text from each board. Himalayas lists countries, Remote OK gives one location string, and We Work Remotely gives region, country and state values such as USA Only. An empty list means the board gave no location limit.
• The same job can appear on more than one board. In the run used for the example above, the Lemon.io job came back from both Himalayas and Remote OK. Each board's row is kept, with its own url.
• The same job can appear once per keyword. Duplicates are removed per keyword, so if two of your keywords match the same job, you get it twice with a different keyword value.
• Error rows: if a board does not answer after five tries, the run continues with the other boards and adds a row with keyword, source and error (for example Could not load remoteok.com). Error rows are free.
• Smaller rows: switch off includeDescription to drop the long description text. Keyword matching still uses the description.

Use it from the API, Python or JavaScript

You can start the scraper and read the jobs with the official Apify clients. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with your Apify API token.

JavaScript (Node.js):

const { ApifyClient } = require('apify-client');

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const input = { keywords: ['python'], maxJobsPerSource: 100 };

const run = await client.actor('juliob.rangel/remote-jobs-scraper-fast').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_TOKEN')
input = {'keywords': ['python'], 'maxJobsPerSource': 100}

run = client.actor('juliob.rangel/remote-jobs-scraper-fast').call(run_input=input)
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print(items)

The scraper also works with Make, Zapier and n8n, can export results to Google Sheets, can call your webhook when a run finishes, and can be used by AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need a login, cookies or API keys for the job boards? No. The scraper reads public job listings from Himalayas, Remote OK and We Work Remotely. You only need an Apify account.

Can I export the jobs to Excel or CSV? Yes. After the run, open the Output tab and download the dataset as Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML. You can also send it to Google Sheets.

How many jobs can I get? Up to 5,000 per board and keyword. In practice Remote OK and We Work Remotely return at most their latest jobs (around 100), while Himalayas can return thousands for broad keywords.

Can I get only jobs with a salary? The scraper returns all matching jobs. Filter the salaryMin or salaryMax columns in your spreadsheet, or in your code, to keep only jobs with a published salary.

How do I get only new jobs every day? Schedule the scraper daily and compare url with what you already have, or filter on postedAt.

Is it legal to scrape remote job boards? The scraper only collects publicly available job listings. You are responsible for complying with each site's terms and with privacy laws such as GDPR and LGPD. Job posts can contain personal data such as recruiter names or emails; you need a legitimate reason to store or use it. Please credit the source board when you republish jobs.

Why did I get a row with an error field? One job board could not be loaded after five tries, usually a temporary problem on the board's side. The other boards still run. Error rows are not charged; run the scraper again later for that board.
