FAQ

How many jobs can I get per run? RemoteOK's API returns approximately 100 of the most recent listings per tag. If you specify multiple tags (e.g., python, javascript, react), each tag fetches up to ~100 jobs, and the Actor deduplicates them automatically. A typical 3-tag run yields 150–250 unique jobs.

How fresh is the data? RemoteOK's API returns the most recently posted listings. The data is as fresh as RemoteOK's own feed — typically listings from the past 1–2 weeks. Schedule recurring runs daily or weekly to maintain an up-to-date job database.

Why do most jobs show $0 salary? Only about 2–7% of RemoteOK listings include salary data. When salary is not disclosed, salary_min and salary_max are set to 0 and the currency field is empty. The minSalary filter only excludes jobs that have salary data below your threshold — jobs without salary data always pass through.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use Apify's scheduling feature to run the Actor daily, weekly, or at any custom interval. Combine with integrations to automatically push new jobs to Google Sheets, Slack, or your database.

What skill tags can I use? RemoteOK supports 50+ skill tags including: javascript, typescript, python, react, vue, node, php, ruby, golang, rust, java, kotlin, swift, flutter, devops, aws, docker, kubernetes, design, ux, marketing, sales, finance, legal, hr, writing, customer-support, and many more.

Does this Actor need a proxy? No. RemoteOK's API is publicly accessible and does not block automated requests. This makes the Actor extremely cheap to run since it incurs zero proxy costs.

Can I use this with AI assistants? Yes. Use the Apify MCP server to connect this Actor to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any LLM that supports the Model Context Protocol. Copy the AI assistant block at the top of this README for a quick start.
