🌍 RemoteOK Jobs API — Remote Jobs by Tag, Salary & Location

Get remote jobs from Remote OK (remoteok.com) as clean rows: title, company, tags, location, yearly salary in USD when posted, posted date, the full description as plain text (or HTML), and the Remote OK job link.

Pick tags such as dev, python, design, marketing, sales or customer-support (each returns up to 100 current jobs), then keep only what matches your keywords, locations, companies, minimum salary and age, or drop jobs with words you do not want. Accents that Remote OK sometimes serves garbled (México) are repaired to México.

It uses Remote OK's public JSON API (no key). The unit of output is one job delivered.

🔧 How it works

One request per tag to Remote OK's public API, at most one a second as its robots.txt asks. Jobs found under several tags are delivered once. Filters run on the delivered text, so a keyword in the description counts.

Every run reads each host's robots.txt first: a path it disallows is skipped, listed in the run receipt and never charged. Only public internet addresses are fetched (no private, loopback or cloud-metadata addresses, checked again on every redirect). No logins, no CAPTCHA solving, no proxies.

Delivery is pushed first and charged after. The run receipt (RUN_RECEIPT) lists each request, how many jobs each filter dropped, and the delivered and charged counts.

💰 Pricing example

Per job delivered, no start fee, no monthly charge:

Apify plan	Price per job
Free	$0.05
Bronze	$0.045
Silver	$0.04
Gold, Platinum, Diamond	$0.0335

• 10 jobs: $0.50 on the Free plan, $0.34 on Gold.
• 500 jobs: $25.00 on the Free plan, $16.75 on Gold.
• 5,000 jobs: $250.00 on the Free plan, $167.50 on Gold.

Coverage and size. Proof runs on 18 Oct 2026: 40 jobs from two tags in 4 seconds; the Store example in 2 seconds. Remote OK returns up to 100 current jobs per tag, so 10 tags give up to about 1,000 jobs per run; schedule it daily to catch new ones.

⚖️ Legal & ToS

Jobs are Remote OK's listings. Remote OK's API terms ask you to link back to the job's Remote OK URL (a followed link) and mention Remote OK as the source, and not to use the Remote OK logo; every row carries job_url and source for that.

Rows hold job and company fields only.

Every run reads each host's robots.txt first: a path it disallows is skipped, listed in the run receipt and never charged. Only public internet addresses are fetched (no private, loopback or cloud-metadata addresses, checked again on every redirect). No logins, no CAPTCHA solving, no proxies.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a key? No.

Which tags exist? Any tag shown on a Remote OK job works, e.g. dev, engineer, python, javascript, react, design, marketing, sales, customer-support, devops, finance.

Is salary always there? No. About a fifth of jobs post one; use salaryOnly to keep just those.

🆘 Troubleshooting

• No job matched — RUN_RECEIPT shows which filter dropped them.
• SOURCE UNAVAILABLE — Remote OK did not answer after retries. Nothing was charged.
