Remote Jobs Scraper: RemoteOK and Himalayas in one list

$1 per 1,000 jobs. Platform usage included. No rental, no minimum.

Remote Jobs Scraper collects remote job listings from RemoteOK and Himalayas into one list and merges repeats. Filter by keyword, required location and how recently a job was posted. Each row gives the title, company, location, tags, salary where the board shows it, posting date and a link back to the board.

Open it in Apify Console

New to Apify? [Create a free account](https://www.apify.com?fpr=ymnoit) (referral link). Runs from a free plan account return the first 10 results; any paid plan returns everything you ask for, up to your limit.

Remote jobs from two public job boards, RemoteOK and Himalayas, in one list with one set of fields. The same job posted on two boards is merged into one row that names both. Rows alternate between the boards, each board newest first, and each row has a link back to the job on the board it came from. Filter by keyword, location and age. There is no login and no API key.

How much does Remote Jobs Scraper cost?

Jobs	Price
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.00
100,000	$100.00

Plus $0.001 per run. One flat price, platform usage included, so there is no separate compute or proxy bill. A daily run that collects 300 jobs costs about $0.30, or about $9 a month.

Why use it

• Two boards, one format. You get one list instead of two feeds with two sets of field names.
• Repeats merged. When the same company and title appear on two boards, you pay for one row, and alsoListedOn shows the other board and its link.
• A link back on every row. sourceUrl is the job's page on the board it was read from, and source names the board. The boards ask for both when you show their jobs (see the section on crediting the sources).
• Filters before you pay. Keyword, location and posting age are applied first, so you are charged only for the jobs you keep.

How to use Remote Jobs Scraper

1. Open the actor, leave both boards on, press Start.
2. Or paste this input:

{ "sources": ["remoteok", "himalayas"], "keyword": "python", "maxAgeDays": 14, "maxItems": 100 }

3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

Use it from code

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/one_dollar_store~remote-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword": "python", "maxAgeDays": 14, "maxItems": 100}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("one_dollar_store/remote-jobs-scraper").call(
    run_input={"keyword": "python", "maxAgeDays": 14, "maxItems": 100}
)
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["source"], job["company"], job["title"], job["sourceUrl"])

Use it from an AI assistant

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants can call this actor through Apify's MCP server. Add it with this server address:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=one_dollar_store/remote-jobs-scraper

Then ask, for example: "Find remote data engineer jobs posted in the last week and give me the link to each one."

Switching from another remote jobs actor

Most remote job actors cover one board and take a keyword and a limit. Here keyword and maxItems work the same way, and sources picks the boards. The core fields are title, company, location, postedAt, source and sourceUrl. Salary fields are filled only where a board provides them.

Crediting the sources

The two boards publish their feeds for free and ask for credit in return. Each row carries what you need: source names the board and sourceUrl is the job's page on that board.

• RemoteOK asks anyone who uses its jobs to link back to the job on remoteok.com with a normal link (no nofollow) and to name Remote OK as the source. It also asks you not to use its logo without written consent. The actor does not return logos.
• Himalayas asks you to show a visible link back to himalayas.app and to say the data comes from Himalayas.

These requests are about showing the jobs to other people. They are the boards' requests as we read them on 9 October 2026; check each board's own page for the current wording.

Limits

• Each board publishes only so many jobs. In our test on 9 October 2026 the RemoteOK feed held 99 jobs. Himalayas is far larger and is read 20 jobs at a time, up to 1,200 jobs per run. A run therefore returns at most about 1,300 jobs, however high maxItems is.
• Himalayas says its data is refreshed every 24 hours. Running more than once or twice a day brings little new data.
• Himalayas limits how fast it can be read. The actor waits between pages. If Himalayas stops answering, the run keeps the jobs already read and says so in the log. If one board cannot be read at all, the other board still runs and the log says which one failed.
• Salary is shown only where a board has it, and in each board's own form: numbers without currency from RemoteOK, numbers with currency and period from Himalayas.
• Repeats are found by company name and title. Two different jobs with the same company and title on two boards would be merged into one row; two jobs with the same company and title on the same board are kept apart.
• maxAgeDays drops jobs that have no posting date.
• location is free text written by each board, so use a few options if you filter, for example Worldwide; Anywhere.
• Company contact details, emails and logos are not returned.
• The description is plain text made from the board's HTML. Layout is simplified.

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape 10,000 remote jobs? $10, plus $0.001 for each run. Note that the two boards together hold fewer jobs than that at any one time, so a single run is smaller; many runs over time add up.

Do I pay for compute or proxy on top? No. Platform usage is included in the $1 per 1,000 price. The actor calls the two public feeds directly and uses no proxy.

Where does the data come from? From the public feeds of RemoteOK (remoteok.com/api) and Himalayas (himalayas.app/jobs/api). No login and no key.

Can I show these jobs on my own site? Each board asks for a link back and a mention as the source. See the section on crediting the sources above.

How do I find only new jobs every day? Schedule one run a day and keep the jobId values you already have. You can also set maxAgeDays to 1 or 2.

Is it legal? The actor reads public feeds that the boards offer for reuse, with no login. How you use the data is up to you: follow each board's request for credit, the terms of the boards and the law where you live. Do not use the data to send unwanted messages.

Is this an official RemoteOK or Himalayas product? No. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by either board.

Do I need an Apify account? Yes. Actors run from an Apify account, and a free account is enough to start: it includes $5 of platform usage every month. You can sign up here. This is a referral link and it costs you nothing.

Is there a limit on the free plan? Yes. A run started from a free plan account delivers the first 10 results, then ends with a message and a link to the plans. Any paid plan returns everything you ask for, up to your own limit. The price per result is the same on every plan.
