Remote Jobs Aggregator: Jobicy & We Work Remotely

What does Remote Jobs Aggregator do?

Remote Jobs Aggregator reads the public remote jobs feeds of Jobicy (its public Jobs API) and We Work Remotely (its public RSS feeds) and returns one clean, deduplicated feed: one row per remote job, with the salary range, location eligibility (countries, regions, worldwide), category, employment type, seniority, ISO dates, the canonical listing URL and a ready-made credit line.

Use it as a remote jobs API for your own job board, newsletter or bot, or switch on the new-jobs monitor to get only the jobs you have not seen yet. You pay only per remote job returned.

It has no person fields: emails, phone numbers and personal profile links in job texts are removed (best effort), and it only reads public, machine-readable feeds under their published terms.

Why use Remote Jobs Aggregator?

• 📰 Job boards and newsletters: fill a niche remote job board or a weekly newsletter with fresh remote jobs that already carry the board credit.
• 🤖 Slack/Discord bots and AI agents: clean JSON with flat fields, ready for an LLM tool or a chat bot posting new remote jobs every hour.
• 📊 Research: track remote demand by category, salary range and region.

What you get compared with copying the feeds yourself:

• Deduplicated: a job listed on both boards becomes one row (charged once), with the other listing in alsoFoundOn.
• Normalized: the same categories, employment types, seniority levels and location fields for both boards.
• Salary ranges: structured on Jobicy, parsed from the description on We Work Remotely (salarySource tells you which).
• Location eligibility you can filter: ISO country codes, regions (EUROPE, EMEA, NORTH_AMERICA, LATAM, AMERICAS, APAC) and isWorldwide.
• Terms-respecting: two sources whose terms allow reuse with attribution; every row carries attribution, sourceName, sourceUrl and the canonical url.
• Reliable: each board runs on its own, so if one fails the other still delivers; a recent cache is served if a board is down.
• Fair on the free plan: full rows, no truncation.
• Hourly-safe: re-runs within 60 minutes are re-served from your last pass and not charged again.

As an Apify Actor it also gets scheduling, the API, webhooks and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets and more) for free.

About "Anywhere" on We Work Remotely: almost every We Work Remotely listing says "Anywhere in the World", even when the text names countries or a US state. That is the board's default, not a promise, so those jobs get isWorldwide: null (unknown) and their countries, if any, in countryCodes. With a country or region filter, the Keep jobs without reliable location option decides whether such jobs stay in. Jobicy's "Anywhere" is a real worldwide flag (isWorldwide: true).

How to get remote jobs from Jobicy and We Work Remotely

1. Open the Actor and choose the job boards (both are selected by default).
2. Optionally add filters: keywords, categories, employment types, seniority, candidate countries or regions, salary minimum, posting age. Keywords match whole words (ai finds "AI Engineer", not "Chainguard"; a plural s also matches); end a keyword with * to match word beginnings (develop* finds developer and development).
3. Set Max jobs (newest first). A full pull is about 1,100 remote jobs.
4. Click Start. A run takes about 15–25 seconds.
5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, call it from the API, or schedule the Actor (hourly or slower) with Only new jobs switched on.

How much does it cost to get remote jobs?

Pay per event: you pay only for remote jobs returned after your filters.

Apify plan	Price per job	Per 1,000 jobs
Free	$0.0010	$1.00
Bronze	$0.0009	$0.90
Silver	$0.00075	$0.75
Gold and higher	$0.0006	$0.60

Plus a tiny start fee of $0.00005 per run.

• A 50-job test costs about $0.05; a full pull of about 1,100 jobs about $1.10 on the free plan.
• Monitor runs charge only new jobs.
• Re-runs within 60 minutes are free for jobs you were already charged for: a job charged in the last 60 minutes is not charged again, whether it comes from your last pass (servedFromCache: true) or from another feed that lists the same job.
• Never charged: jobs removed by your filters, jobs skipped by the monitor, duplicates, expired listings, failed or skipped boards, and empty runs.
• Your spending limit is respected: the run stops cleanly with "Stopped at your spending limit after N jobs".

Scheduling and the new-jobs monitor

Schedule hourly or slower. Jobicy asks for at most one new pass per hour, and We Work Remotely's feeds refresh hourly (ttl 60), so faster schedules add nothing:

• 60-minute pass cache: the first run in an hour fetches both boards and keeps the result in a key-value store in your account (remote-jobs-feed-aggregator-cache). Runs in the next 60 minutes re-serve that pass: no requests, no repeat charges.
• Jobicy options (jobicyGeo, jobicyIndustry, jobicyTag) define the Jobicy pass. If you change them within the hour, Jobicy is skipped until the next hour (SKIPPED_COOLDOWN in the run summary) and We Work Remotely still runs. For most uses, leave them empty and use the general filters, which work on both boards and never trigger the cooldown.
• Only new jobs (onlyNew): returns only jobs that earlier runs with the same State store name have not returned. The first run returns every current match up to Max jobs; later runs return only new ones. A job that moves to the other board does not alert again. Use one state store name per monitor (for example one per saved search).

Crediting the sources (required)

Both boards allow reuse of their listings with attribution:

• Show the attribution text (for example "Job via Jobicy") next to each job and link it to url.
• Keep the canonical listing URL unchanged and send applicants to applyUrl (the board's listing page).
• Never present the jobs as your own listings.

Input

See the Input tab for all options. Example: senior Python or data jobs open to candidates in Germany, with a salary, as a monitor:

{
    "sources": ["jobicy", "weworkremotely"],
    "maxItems": 200,
    "keywords": ["python", "data engineer"],
    "seniority": ["SENIOR"],
    "countries": ["DE"],
    "includeUnknownLocation": false,
    "requireSalary": true,
    "onlyNew": true,
    "stateStoreName": "senior-python-de",
    "descriptionFormat": "markdown"
}

Output

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV or Excel. The Overview view shows title, company, category, location, worldwide flag, employment type, salary range, publication date, link and credit. Two real rows from a local run on 13 October 2026 (an hourly re-run, so servedFromCache is true; excerpts and descriptions shortened):

The run also writes a RUN-SUMMARY record (see the Output tab): per board the status (OK, PARTIAL, ERROR, BLOCKED, RATE_LIMITED, DISABLED, SKIPPED), the mode (FRESH, CACHED, SKIPPED_COOLDOWN, STALE_CACHE), requests, jobs read and when the next fresh pass is allowed; plus totals (unique, duplicates merged, filtered out, already seen, expired, output, charged, served free).

Tips

• Cheapest monitor: schedule hourly with onlyNew and your filters; you pay only for new matching jobs (a typical hour brings a handful).
• Smaller output: set descriptionFormat to none if you only need the listing data and link.
• Filters before charging: every filter runs before charging, so narrow filters cost less.

FAQ

Is it legal to use this remote jobs data?

The Actor reads only a public API (Jobicy) and public RSS feeds (We Work Remotely) that the boards publish for reuse, under their published terms: credit the board and keep the link to the original listing. It sends an honest user agent, reads each source at most once per hour per user, never passes a bot challenge and never fetches web pages. It has no person fields, and emails, phone numbers and personal profile links in job texts are removed (best effort). Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data. However, job descriptions are written by employers and could, rarely, still contain personal data; personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world, so if you are unsure whether your use is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

Why only these two job boards?

Many other remote job boards do not allow their listings to be passed on to third parties, or require a followed backlink on every page where the data appears, which a dataset cannot guarantee. More boards may be added once their terms are checked.

Why about 1,100 jobs?

Jobicy's API covers the last 7 days (with a 3-hour delay), about 750 jobs; We Work Remotely's feeds hold about 390 current listings. After removing duplicates that is about 1,100 remote jobs per full pull.

How reliable is the contact-detail removal?

It is best effort: emails (also inside links) become [email removed], phone numbers with 7 or more digits become [phone removed], links to personal profile pages (LinkedIn /in/ and /pub/, XING profiles) are unlinked or become [link removed], and "contact person / recruiter:" lines are dropped. Company pages and other links stay. It cannot be switched off.

Which storages does it create in my account, and how do I delete them?

Two named key-value stores: remote-jobs-feed-aggregator-cache (the 60-minute pass cache and charge marks) and, only in monitor mode, the store named in State store name (default remote-jobs-feed-aggregator-monitor, the list of already returned jobs). Delete them any time under Storage → Key-value stores in Apify Console; the next run simply starts fresh.

What happens if a board is down or blocks requests?

The other board still runs. A failed board is served from a cache up to 24 hours old if one exists (STALE_CACHE); otherwise its status in RUN-SUMMARY says what happened. The run fails only when every selected board failed and there was nothing to serve.

Can I use it through the API or from an AI agent?

Yes. Use the API tab for ready-made code, or call the Actor from any MCP-capable agent. Rows are flat JSON with stable field names.
