We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper — Remote Jobs API

We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper turns the public We Work Remotely job feeds into clean records with title, company, remote region, country, skills, category, job type, full description, posting and expiry dates. It is built for recruiters, remote-job newsletters and alert bots, job-board operators and AI agents, and costs about USD 2.50 per 1,000 remote jobs on the FREE tier (USD 2.00 on GOLD), plus a small start fee.

It reads the RSS feeds We Work Remotely publishes for its job board, filters and deduplicates the jobs, and writes one schema-validated row per job. No login, cookies or browser are involved.

What data does We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper return?

Each dataset row is one We Work Remotely job. Source fields left blank come back as null or an empty list.

Field	What you get
jobId, jobUrl	Stable listing slug and the We Work Remotely job URL
title, company	Job title and hiring company
region, country, state	Remote eligibility as published, for example Anywhere in the World
category, employmentType	Category such as Full-Stack Programming and type such as Full-Time or Contract
skills	Skill labels when the employer added them, for example Node.js, React
headquarters, companyWebsite, logoUrl	Company details from the listing header
descriptionText, descriptionHtml	Clean text, plus the original HTML when includeDescriptionHtml is on
postedAt, expiresAt, isExpired	Posting date, expiry date and a calculated expired flag
sourceFeedUrl, scrapedAt	Which feed the job came from and when it was read

SUMMARY and OUTPUT key-value records report the outcome (data, empty, rejected, blocked, failed), feeds requested and read, parsed and delivered counts, filters and warnings.

How do I scrape We Work Remotely jobs?

Run it with no changes to get the newest jobs from the main feed, or add filters:

{
  "feedUrls": ["https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-programming-jobs.rss"],
  "searchTerms": ["Python", "TypeScript"],
  "regions": ["Anywhere in the World"],
  "employmentTypes": ["Full-Time"],
  "postedWithinDays": 30,
  "maxResults": 50,
  "includeDescriptionHtml": false
}

Input	What it does
feedUrls	1–10 We Work Remotely .rss URLs; default https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs.rss
searchTerms	Keep jobs mentioning any phrase in title, company, location, category, skills or description
categories, employmentTypes	Exact, case-insensitive match on category and job type
regions	Match any phrase in region, country or state
skills	Match any skill label; jobs with no skill labels never match a non-empty filter
postedWithinDays	Keep jobs posted in the last 1–365 days
maxResults	Unique jobs to return after filters, 1–1,000 (the form starts at 10; API calls that omit it use 100)
includeDescriptionHtml	Also keep the HTML description (default true)
maxRequestRetries	Retries for 429, 5xx and network errors, 0–5 (default 2)

How many remote jobs are on the We Work Remotely job board feeds?

The main feed held 96 jobs on 2026-10-27, about ten of the newest per category, posted over the previous three months. Category feeds go deeper in one area; the programming feed held 25 jobs the same day. Add up to 10 feeds in one run: jobs that appear in several feeds are written once.

When should I use it, and when not?

Use it when you want a structured copy of current We Work Remotely jobs for a newsletter, Slack or email alert, a remote-jobs board, hiring-trend research, or an AI agent that answers "who is hiring remotely for X".

Use another Actor when:

• You want more remote boards: Working Nomads Remote Jobs Scraper or Jobspresso Remote Jobs Scraper.
• You need salaries. The feeds do not carry salary fields; for tech jobs with pay ranges try JustJoin.it Scraper, NoFluffJobs Scraper or Dice Jobs Scraper.
• You want jobs straight from company career boards: Greenhouse Jobs Scraper or Ashby Jobs API Scraper.
• You need jobs that have already left the feeds, applicant data or to submit applications.

Use it from an AI assistant

We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper works from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify's MCP server. Add it with https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=muhammadafzal/we-work-remotely-jobs-scraper, then ask, for example: "Find full-time remote Python jobs on We Work Remotely posted this week that are open anywhere in the world."

Run it with the API

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('muhammadafzal/we-work-remotely-jobs-scraper').call({
    searchTerms: ['Python'],
    postedWithinDays: 7,
    maxResults: 25,
    includeDescriptionHtml: false,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.map((job) => `${job.title} | ${job.company} | ${job.region} | ${job.jobUrl}`));

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("muhammadafzal/we-work-remotely-jobs-scraper").call(
    run_input={"categories": ["Full-Stack Programming"], "maxResults": 25}
)
for job in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(job["title"], job["company"], job["postedAt"], job["jobUrl"])

Pricing: how much does it cost to scrape We Work Remotely?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing with platform usage included. Each unique job written to the dataset is one event; jobs removed by filters or deduplication are not charged.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD / PLATINUM / DIAMOND
Remote job record (one dataset row)	USD 0.002501	USD 0.002438	USD 0.002375	USD 0.002
Actor start (per started GB of allocated memory)	USD 0.006251	USD 0.006094	USD 0.005938	USD 0.005

Worked totals on the FREE tier at the default 256 MB memory (one start event):

• One job: 1 × USD 0.002501 + USD 0.006251 = about USD 0.0088
• The whole main feed, 96 jobs on 2026-10-27: 96 × USD 0.002501 + USD 0.006251 = about USD 0.25

If no feed can be read, or nothing matches, only the start fee applies. When your run's spending limit is lower than the matching jobs, the Actor trims the batch to fit before writing.

What are the limits?

• Feed depth: a run sees only jobs currently in the feeds you choose, not older listings.
• Sparse fields: skills were filled for 22 of 96 jobs and company websites for 24 of 96 on 2026-10-27; use searchTerms rather than skills for broad matching.
• No salaries, applicant data or apply forms; the feeds do not include them, and the Actor never invents them.
• Errors: temporary errors are retried with backoff. A failed feed adds a warning while results from other feeds are kept; if every feed fails, the run reports rejected (not an RSS URL), blocked or failed and writes no rows.
