🌍 WeWorkRemotely Jobs Scraper — Remote Job Aggregator

Scrape WeWorkRemotely (the longest-running remote-first job board, ~3M monthly visits) by category. Each call pulls the most-recent ~50–100 postings per category — programming, design, customer support, marketing, product, sales/business, all-other — with title, company, full HTML description, category, region, and posted date.

Built for remote-first recruiters filling distributed teams, indie founders / boutique agencies seeking pre-vetted remote candidates, job aggregators / talent platforms that need clean structured remote-job rows, distributed-work researchers tracking remote-job velocity, and sales prospecting into companies that just opened key remote roles.

What you get per posting

• id — stable WWR job URL (also the guid)
• url — link to the WWR job page
• title — clean job title (parsed from "Company: Job Title")
• company — company name (parsed from the title)
• raw_title — original "Company: Job Title" string (for diff tracking)
• region — geographic restriction (e.g. "Anywhere in the World", "USA Only", "Europe")
• category_feed — the RSS feed slug the row came from
• categories — additional WWR sub-categories (e.g. "Full-Stack Programming")
• posted_at — RFC-822 timestamp from pubDate
• description_html — full HTML body of the posting
• source — "weworkremotely.com"

Use cases

1. Remote recruiter sourcing — pull every remote programming job posted this week, filter by stack, route to internal candidate pool.
2. Job aggregator / talent-platform backfill — feed your remote-jobs vertical with clean structured WWR data refreshed every 6 hours.
3. Sales prospecting — companies that just posted "Head of Marketing (Remote)" are buying martech now.
4. Distributed-work research — track posting velocity by category and region over time.
5. Comp benchmarking — many WWR postings publish salary ranges / comp bands; extract them downstream.
6. Founder/agency lead gen — companies actively hiring senior remote roles often need fractional / agency support too.

Pricing

Pay-per-event (PPE):

• Actor start: $0.00005 (negligible)
• Per posting: $0.04

Cost calculator:

Postings returned	Cost
25 (smoke test)	$1.00
175 (7 categories × 25)	$7.00
500	$20.00
1,000	$40.00

That's a fraction of WWR's per-post pricing for employers and trivially cheap vs. Greenhouse/Lever multi-tenant aggregators.

FAQ

Q: Do I need a WWR account or API key? A: No. The category RSS feeds are open and require no auth.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Real-time — WWR's RSS updates as soon as a posting goes live.

Q: Why is company sometimes null? A: A handful of WWR titles don't follow the Company: Title pattern. The raw_title field is always populated; downstream you can apply your own parser if needed.

Q: Why are some descriptions HTML and others plain? A: WWR stores all descriptions as HTML; some posters use plain text inside it. Use description_html directly or strip tags downstream as you prefer.

Q: Can I filter by region (e.g. USA only)? A: Not at the feed level — WWR's RSS includes all regions. Filter on the region field downstream.

Q: Are featured / sticky postings included? A: Yes — the RSS feed includes them in the <item> list with the rest. They're typically duplicated across categories.
