RemoteOK Jobs Scraper - Search & Export All Current Remote Jobs

Search or filter RemoteOK jobs by keyword, geo, and industry/tag, or export every current remote job listing with salary, tags, location, and application links as a clean Dataset. This Actor pulls the public RemoteOK job feed and returns normalized, deduplicated job records ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, recruitment pipelines, or AI agent workflows.

Use searchQuery, geo, and/or industry to narrow results, or leave them empty to export all current listings. Every row includes the original API object in a raw field so you never lose upstream data. There are no preset keywords, geos, or industries.

Why use this RemoteOK Scraper?

• Keyword search: enter searchQuery to filter current RemoteOK jobs by title, company, description, tags, location, slug, and URLs.
• Geo filter: enter geo (for example usa, uk, europe, india, worldwide) to match location text with common region aliases.
• Industry / tag filter: enter industry (for example dev, python, marketing, customer support) to request RemoteOK with the official tag query and keep matching rows.
• Full-feed export: leave filters empty to get every valid job record in the current RemoteOK API response.
• Structured output: normalized fields for title, company, salary, tags, location, posting date, job URL, and apply URL.
• Original raw data: each row preserves the unmodified upstream API object in a raw field.
• Deduplication: response-local duplicates and malformed records are skipped, with counts reported in RUN_SUMMARY.
• Filter provenance: filtered rows include sourceSearchQuery / searchRank and/or sourceGeo / sourceIndustry / filterRank.
• No credentials needed: the Actor uses the public RemoteOK API and does not require any API key or login.
• Attribution built in: source_url and attribution_url fields make it easy to link back to RemoteOK.

Common geo slugs

geo is matched against RemoteOK location text (and related free-text fields). Use either a short slug or free text. Multi-word values may use spaces or hyphens.

Slug / input	Also matches	Notes
usa	us, united-states, united states, u.s., u.s.a.	United States
uk	united-kingdom, united kingdom, england, scotland, wales, britain	United Kingdom
europe	eu, emea	Europe / EMEA-style labels
emea	emea, europe	EMEA-style labels
apac	asia, pacific	Asia-Pacific-style labels
latam	latin america, south america	Latin America
canada	canadian	Canada
germany	deutschland, berlin, munich	Germany
france	paris	France
netherlands	holland, amsterdam	Netherlands
spain	espana, españa, madrid, barcelona	Spain
ireland	dublin	Ireland
australia	sydney, melbourne	Australia
singapore	singapore	Singapore
japan	tokyo	Japan
india	bangalore, bengaluru, mumbai, delhi, hyderabad, chennai, pune	India
brazil	brasil, sao paulo, são paulo	Brazil
mexico	méxico	Mexico
philippines	manila	Philippines
worldwide	world wide, anywhere, global, remote	Global / remote-friendly labels
remote	remote, worldwide, anywhere, global	Same family as worldwide

Any other free-text value is also accepted and matched as-is (plus hyphen/space variants). RemoteOK does not expose a reliable server-side location query on the public API, so geo filtering is applied on the current feed returned at run time.

Common industry / tag slugs

industry maps to RemoteOK tags. When set, the Actor calls https://remoteok.com/api?tag=... and still applies a local tag match so only relevant rows are emitted. Spaces, hyphens, and underscores are interchangeable.

Slug	Examples of accepted forms	Typical use
dev	dev	Software development
web-dev	web dev, web-dev	Web development
python	python	Python roles
javascript	javascript	JavaScript roles
react	react	React roles
design	design, designer	Design
marketing	marketing	Marketing
customer-support	customer support, customer-support, support	Customer support
digital-nomad	digital nomad, digital-nomad	Digital nomad friendly
exec	exec	Executive / leadership
ops	ops	Operations
education	education, teaching	Education
medical	medical	Medical / healthcare
content-writing	content writing, content-writing, copywriting	Content / writing
technical	technical	Technical roles
sys-admin	sys admin, sys-admin	Sysadmin
finance	finance	Finance
sales	sales	Sales
hr	hr, recruiter	HR / recruiting
legal	legal	Legal
testing	testing	QA / testing
mobile	mobile	Mobile
video	video	Video
social-media	social media, social-media	Social media
virtual-assistant	virtual assistant, virtual-assistant	Virtual assistant
data-entry	data entry, data-entry, analyst	Data / analysis-related tags
engineer	engineer	Engineering labels
non-tech	non tech, non-tech	Non-tech roles
full-time	full time, full-time	Employment type tag

RemoteOK tag inventory changes over time. If a tag is rare or unused on the current feed, the run can succeed with zero rows and a clear RUN_SUMMARY.

Data source and search boundary

This Actor uses the public RemoteOK API endpoint (https://remoteok.com/api) at run time. RemoteOK decides which current job records are present in that response.

• searchQuery filters the current API payload locally.
• industry requests the official tag query and also filters locally.
• geo filters the returned payload locally against location/text fields.
• The Actor does not query a separate RemoteOK historical index and does not paginate through older jobs.

Unsupported aliases such as query, keyword, keywords, tags, tag, and location are rejected. Use the canonical fields searchQuery, geo, and industry so automation does not silently change scope.

Pricing

Pay per event. No subscription. Apify displays the effective event price before each run.

Event	Price	When it is charged
apify-actor-start	$0.005	Automatically once when a normal Actor run starts.
apify-default-dataset-item	$2.00 / 1,000	Automatically for each item written to the default Dataset.

For example, a run returning 100 job records costs $0.205 in Actor events: $0.005 to start plus $0.200 for results. Platform usage costs are charged to the user in addition to these Actor events, as shown by Apify before a run.

Both listed events are Apify synthetic events: the platform accounts for them automatically, so the Actor does not manually issue duplicate charges in code.

Live View and Standby endpoints

This Actor exposes an honest lightweight Live View service. Data collection stays in normal Actor runs; the standby service does not pretend to offer a separate scrape API.

Endpoint	Purpose
GET /	Readiness and service information.
GET /health	Fast health check.
GET /input-example	Low-cost input compatible with the Actor schema.
GET /openapi.json	The deployed OpenAPI 3.x contract.

The interactive Standby tab on Apify renders these endpoints from the same OpenAPI document served by the Actor.

FAQ and support

Does it search RemoteOK by keyword? Yes. Set searchQuery to a word or phrase. The Actor filters the current RemoteOK API job records and returns matching jobs with sourceSearchQuery and searchRank.

Can I filter by region or industry? Yes. Use geo and/or industry. See the slug tables above. Filtered rows include sourceGeo / sourceIndustry provenance.

Does "all" include RemoteOK history? No. "All" means all valid job records in the API response at run time. The RemoteOK endpoint itself decides which current records it returns and does not expose a historical pagination option here.

What happens when there are no matches? If any of searchQuery, geo, or industry is set and nothing matches, the run succeeds with zero Dataset rows and a clear RUN_SUMMARY showing the filters and recordsEmitted: 0. That is different from a source failure, which writes ERROR_SUMMARY and fails.

Can I publish the results commercially? Check the upstream notice and RemoteOK terms before use. The API metadata says the API is free for non-commercial use, and RemoteOK's terms require a hyperlink back where API or site data is used. Keep source_url and attribution_url, link back visibly, and obtain written permission before commercial redistribution or Store publication.

Where can I report a problem? Include the Actor run ID, RUN_SUMMARY or ERROR_SUMMARY, and one example source_url in your support request. Never include credentials because this Actor does not need any.
