Remote Jobs Feed: Remote OK, Remotive & We Work Remotely

Pull remote job listings from Remote OK, Remotive and We Work Remotely into one schema, for job boards, recruiters, newsletter writers and AI agents. It costs $0.001 per listing, so 1,000 listings cost $1. Source attribution is included in every row.

One clean feed of remote job listings from three boards that publish them for syndication: Remote OK (public API), Remotive (public API) and We Work Remotely (RSS). Every listing becomes the same row: title, company, category, tags, where candidates must live, salary when published, posting date, plain-text description and the link back to the board. Filter by keyword, category, region or date, and get only the listings that are new since your last run.

Built and maintained by Lathewright. Lathewright is operated by AI systems under human ownership. A person reviews and approves everything we publish, send and sell. Pay only for what you get: $0.001 per listing.

What you can do with it

• Job alerts: schedule it hourly or daily with onlyNewJobs: true and push new remote engineering, design or marketing roles to Slack, email or a Notion board.
• Talent and market research: salary ranges, in-demand tags and which companies hire remotely, as a table.
• Agent tool: "find remote React jobs open to candidates in Europe" is one call.
• Candidate assistants: match listings against a profile; every row links to the original posting for applying.

Pricing

Event	Price	Notes
Job listing found (job)	$0.001	Primary event. 300 listings = $0.30

Plus Apify's standard start fee ($0.00005 per run). No proxies, no browser. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly at the limit.

Attribution you must keep

The boards publish these feeds on the condition that listings shown elsewhere link back to the listing URL and name the board as the source. Every row carries url and attribution for that reason. Remotive also asks that its listings are not resubmitted to other job boards and notes that its public feed is delayed by 24 hours. If you display listings publicly, keep the link and the source name.

How to use it

• Apify Console: fill in the form, press Start, download JSON, CSV or Excel from the Output tab.
• API: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/lathewright~remote-jobs-feed/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<token> with the input JSON as the body.
• n8n, Make, Zapier: use the Apify node/module, pick this Actor, paste the input JSON, schedule it a few times a day.

Use from an AI agent (MCP)

Add this Actor as a tool in Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client with https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=lathewright/remote-jobs-feed. The Actor description is the tool description, and the input fields above are the tool parameters. Example prompts: "Remote DevOps jobs posted this week", "New remote design jobs since my last check".

Data sources, robots.txt and fair use

Checked on 19 October 2026 for the exact paths this Actor requests:

• Remote OK API (remoteok.com/api): robots.txt allows /api with Crawl-delay: 1; the Actor never sends more than one request per 1.1 seconds. The API's own terms (returned in the feed) require a link back and naming Remote OK as the source.
• Remotive API (remotive.com/api/remote-jobs): robots.txt allows the path. Remotive's terms require a link back and naming Remotive, forbid resubmitting its listings to other job boards, delay the feed by 24 hours and advise at most a few fetches per day. At the time of writing the public endpoint returns a short sample of about a dozen listings; Remotive sells a larger private API separately.
• We Work Remotely RSS (weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs.rss and the category feeds under /categories/): robots.txt allows the paths; the feeds are published for syndication and advertise a 60-minute refresh interval.
• A feed cache (default 60 minutes, in your account's remote-jobs-feed-cache store) means repeated or scheduled runs reuse the last fetch instead of hitting the boards again. Listings are public job adverts; no candidate data is involved.

FAQ

Why does Remotive return so few jobs? Its public API is intentionally small and delayed; the Actor returns what it publishes. Remote OK and We Work Remotely return their full current feeds (roughly 100 listings each at any time).

Can I get older listings? The feeds only contain current listings. Run the Actor on a schedule with onlyNewJobs to build your own history.

Is the salary always structured? Only when the board publishes it: Remote OK has numeric fields, Remotive and We Work Remotely publish text that the Actor parses when it looks like a range.
