Remote Jobs Aggregator: Jobicy and Remote OK Job Listings

Returns remote jobs from the public APIs of Jobicy and Remote OK as one job feed with one schema: title, company, category, job type, salary, region, tags, publication date, job URL and a plain text description of at most 2 000 characters. Every row says where it comes from and what attribution the source asks for, so you can show the listings on a job board, in a newsletter or in an internal tool and keep the credit right.

No API key and no login. Only sources whose terms allow reuse in a tool like this are included (see "Source and license").

What is covered

• Jobicy: remote jobs published in the last 7 days (the window the API offers), with a 3 hour publication delay set by Jobicy. Our test run on 5 October 2026 read 625 listings, about half of them with a salary range.
• Remote OK: the latest 100 listings from the Remote OK API, which usually go back 6 to 10 weeks.
• Filters for keywords, categories, sources and publication date. Results are sorted newest first.
• Duplicates are removed by job URL and by company plus title, so a job posted on both boards appears once.
• onlyNew turns the actor into a job alert: a scheduled run returns only listings it has not delivered before.
• Not included: Remotive, Arbeitnow and Himalayas. The actor never reads them, because their terms do not allow reuse in a tool like this (see "Source and license").

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
keywords	array of strings	[]	Words that must all appear in the title, company, category, tags or description. Matches the start of words, so develop finds developer.
categories	array of strings	[]	Keep listings whose category or tags contain any of these words, for example marketing or customer support.
sources	array	["jobicy", "remoteok"]	Which APIs to read.
postedSince	integer	7	Only listings published in the last number of days, 1 to 90.
maxResults	integer	50	Maximum number of listings, newest first, 1 to 1 000.
onlyNew	boolean	false	Return only listings that earlier runs with the same input did not deliver. See "Monitoring and scheduling".

A run with empty input returns the 50 newest listings from both sources from the last 7 days.

Example input: customer support jobs from the last 3 days.

{
  "categories": ["customer support"],
  "postedSince": 3,
  "maxResults": 100
}

Example input: every Remote OK listing the API currently offers.

{
  "sources": ["remoteok"],
  "postedSince": 90,
  "maxResults": 100
}

Output

One row per listing. The dataset view "Remote jobs" shows the most important columns.

Monitoring and scheduling

Set onlyNew to true to use the actor as a job alert. The actor then remembers which listings it has delivered for the same input, in a named key-value store in your Apify account (nightwave-state-remote-jobs-open-feeds, one record per input). Each run returns and charges only listings that earlier runs did not deliver, keyed on source plus id. The first run returns everything in the selection, up to maxResults. A run without news finishes successfully with 0 rows.

onlyNew and maxResults are not part of the remembered input, so you can change them without starting over. Changing any other field starts a fresh state. Set maxResults above the number of new listings your filters normally get between two runs; listings above the limit are kept for the next run.

Real example: with the input below, run 7ywnc1O3jmqk76vrh returned 50 listings, run 57nGFfqE2jB7QK1bT returned the 7 that were over the limit, and run qvyyDBmWG74Sgmdrv returned 0 because nothing new had been published. A second run straight after the first, with onlyNew and the same input, returns 0 rows like that and is not charged.

{
  "keywords": ["customer support"],
  "onlyNew": true
}

Example: a daily run at 07:00 that returns new Python jobs. In Apify Console, open Schedules, create a schedule with the cron expression 0 7 * * * and your time zone, and add this actor with the input below.

{
  "keywords": ["python"],
  "onlyNew": true,
  "maxResults": 200
}

The same schedule through the Apify API:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/schedules?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "daily-remote-python-jobs", "cronExpression": "0 7 * * *", "timezone": "Europe/London", "isEnabled": true, "isExclusive": true,
       "actions": [{"type": "RUN_ACTOR", "actorId": "nightwave-owner~remote-jobs-open-feeds",
                    "runInput": {"contentType": "application/json; charset=utf-8", "body": "<the input above as a JSON string>"}}]}'

Connect a webhook or an integration (Slack, e-mail, Google Sheets) to the actor in Apify Console if you want the new listings sent somewhere when the run finishes. Both sources ask that their API is not polled too often; one to four runs a day is enough.

Limitations

• Two sources. Only Jobicy and Remote OK are included, because their published terms allow reuse with attribution. Remotive, Arbeitnow and Himalayas are left out (see below).
• Windows set by the sources. Jobicy offers the last 7 days and delays new listings by 3 hours. Remote OK returns its latest 100 listings only. Older jobs cannot be fetched.
• Keyword matching is done on the listing text the APIs return. It matches the start of words, so a search for go also finds "good". Use longer words or a category when that matters.
• Categories differ by source. Jobicy has its own industries. Remote OK has no category field, so the category is derived from its tags and is sometimes broad.
• Salaries are passed on as published. Remote OK gives yearly USD amounts; a listing without salary has null.
• Descriptions are converted from HTML to plain text and cut at 2 000 characters. Long dashes are written as hyphens.
• Application links point to the listing on the source site, as both sources require.

Use cases

• Fill a niche job board or a careers page with fresh remote listings, with source credit built in.
• A weekly remote jobs newsletter: run with onlyNew and the categories your readers want.
• Recruiters and talent teams: watch which companies hire remotely for a skill, with salary ranges where given.
• Labour market research: count listings by category, region and salary over time.

Source and license

The actor reads two sources: Jobicy and Remote OK. The table also lists three other remote job APIs that we checked and do not include: Remotive, Arbeitnow and Himalayas are never queried and never appear in the output, because their terms do not allow reuse in a commercial tool like this one. The quoted terms show why.

Source	API	Terms (quoted)	Included
Jobicy	https://jobicy.com/api/v2/remote-jobs	"You may use Jobicy listings in your own products and user experiences without requesting individual permission. Keep Jobicy as the original source and preserve the canonical Jobicy job URL when displaying listings." Also: "Do not present Jobicy listings as your own original job postings or remove source attribution." (Fair use section of the Jobicy API documentation)	Yes
Remote OK	https://remoteok.com/api	"Please link back (with follow, and without nofollow!) to the URL on Remote OK and mention Remote OK as a source, so we get traffic back from your site." and "Please don't use the Remote OK logo without written permission" (notice in the API response). The terms say: "You agree to link back with a web hyperlink or in-app hyperlink to our site on the page or app screen where you use the data from our APIs or site."	Yes
Remotive	https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs	"Please do not submit Remotive jobs to third Party websites, including but not limited to: Jooble, Neuvoo, Google Jobs, LinkedIn Jobs." Remotive sells a private API for other uses, and its robots.txt disallows /api/*.	No, not read
Arbeitnow	https://www.arbeitnow.com/api/job-board-api	The API notice says "By using the API, you agree to the terms of service present on Arbeitnow.com", and those terms grant use "for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only". Most listings are also on-site jobs in Germany.	No, not read
Himalayas	https://himalayas.app/jobs/api	The API documentation asks for a link back, but the site terms say you may not "use the materials for any commercial purpose" and may not use "robots, screen scraping, or similar automated data gathering".	No, not read

When you show listings from this actor, link each job to its url and name the source, as the license field on every row says. The job texts belong to the employers and the sources; this actor passes them on and does not add or change requirements.

This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Jobicy or Remote OK.

Pricing

Pay per result: 0.002 USD per listing returned (event job), which is 2 USD per 1 000 listings. Platform usage is included, so you pay only per result. maxResults caps how many rows a run returns, so you always know the highest possible cost.

Rows are delivered only after they have been charged. If you set a maximum cost per run (maxTotalChargeUsd), the run stops there and its status message says how many rows were delivered.

På svenska

Actorn hämtar distansjobb från de öppna API:erna hos Jobicy och Remote OK och lämnar dem i ett gemensamt format: titel, företag, kategori, anställningsform, lön, region, taggar, publiceringsdatum, länk till annonsen och en beskrivning på högst 2 000 tecken.

• Filtrera på nyckelord, kategorier, källa och antal dagar. Dubbletter tas bort på länk och på företag plus titel.
• Tom input ger de 50 senaste annonserna från båda källorna de senaste 7 dagarna.
• Med onlyNew: true blir actorn en jobbevakning: en schemalagd körning lämnar bara annonser som inte levererats tidigare, och bara de debiteras.
• Varje rad anger källan och vilken attribution källan kräver. Länka till annonsens url och nämn källan när du visar jobbet.
• Bara källor vars villkor tillåter vidareanvändning är med. Remotive, Arbeitnow och Himalayas är uteslutna på grund av sina villkor (se tabellen ovan).
• Pris: 0,002 USD per annons, 2 USD per 1 000.
