Job Aggregator - Multi-Platform Job Search

Search, filter, and analyze job listings from four free job platforms in a single run — no API keys, no account setup, no rate limit headaches. Designed for job seekers who want aggregated results, developers building job boards or career tools, and researchers tracking hiring trends across the tech and remote work market.

What does Job Aggregator do?

Job Aggregator queries Arbeitnow, Remotive, Jobicy, and The Muse simultaneously, then merges, deduplicates, and sorts the results into one clean dataset. Instead of manually checking multiple job boards or managing separate API integrations for each platform, you get a unified output with consistent field naming across all sources.

The actor supports three modes. Use search_jobs to find positions by keyword and location across all platforms at once. Use remote_jobs to surface remote-only listings with salary data where available, grouped by category. Use job_trends to analyze the job market itself — which skills are most in demand, which companies are hiring most actively, and how salary ranges and remote ratios break down by role type. All three modes are powered entirely by free public APIs that require no credentials.

Key features

• Aggregates results from four platforms in a single run: Arbeitnow, Remotive, Jobicy, and The Muse
• Automatic deduplication and date-sorted merging across sources
• Remote-only filtering with salary data where platforms provide it
• Job market trend analysis: in-demand skills, top hiring companies, salary ranges, remote vs. on-site breakdown
• Keyword and location filtering for targeted searches
• No API keys or platform accounts required
• Consistent output schema regardless of which source(s) returned results

Use cases

• Job seekers in tech and remote roles: Search across multiple boards at once instead of visiting each site separately, and filter to remote-only positions with salary data upfront.
• Developers building job boards or career apps: Pull structured, deduplicated listings from multiple sources without negotiating individual platform API agreements or building your own scrapers.
• Recruiters and hiring teams: Monitor how many openings exist for a given role type, which companies are actively hiring for specific skills, and what salary ranges competitors are posting.
• Labor market researchers: Run job_trends mode to extract aggregate data on skill demand, remote work prevalence, and compensation patterns across industries and geographies.
• Career coaches and educational content creators: Identify which skills and certifications are most frequently appearing in job postings to advise students or produce relevant content.

FAQ

Is an API key required?

No. All four data sources — Arbeitnow, Remotive, Jobicy, and The Muse — offer free public APIs that do not require authentication. The actor works out of the box with no credential configuration.

How does deduplication work?

The actor identifies duplicate listings by comparing job title, company name, and posting URL across sources. When a match is found, the listing from the source with the most complete data (e.g., salary information) is kept.

Can I search for jobs in a specific country or city?

Yes. Set the location parameter to a city, country, or region name. Not all platforms support location filtering equally — Arbeitnow and The Muse have the most granular location support, while Remotive and Jobicy focus primarily on remote roles without location constraints.

Does the job_trends mode return individual job listings?

No. The job_trends mode returns aggregate statistics: top skills by frequency, most active hiring companies, salary range distributions, and remote vs. on-site ratios. It does not return individual job listings.

How fresh is the data?

Each run fetches live data directly from the source APIs at the time of execution. Results reflect listings active on those platforms at the moment the actor runs. There is no internal cache or static dataset.

Limitations

• Salary data is only available for listings where the originating platform includes it — Jobicy provides the most consistent salary coverage
• Location filtering precision varies by platform; broad searches (e.g., country-level) return more reliable results than city-level filtering
• The limit parameter caps total results across all sources combined, so very low limits may under-represent some platforms
• Job market data reflects only the four integrated platforms and should not be treated as a complete picture of the broader job market
