📋 What the Remotive Scraper does

• Fetches live job listings directly from the Remotive public API
• Filters by keyword search, job category, and job type in a single run
• Returns full job records including HTML description, salary, and company logo
• Respects maxItems so you control dataset size precisely
• Outputs clean JSON with consistent field ordering - ready for direct import
• Runs on Apify's cloud infrastructure - no local setup, no proxy required

💡 Why it matters: Remote job data is scattered and stale on most aggregators. Remotive curates quality listings in real time. This actor gives you structured, programmatic access to that curation - instantly.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔓 Do I need a Remotive account to use this?

No. The scraper uses the Remotive public API which requires no authentication.

💸 Is this actor free?

Yes, with limits. Free Apify accounts can collect up to 10 jobs per run. Upgrade to collect up to 1,000,000 jobs per run.

📡 How fresh is the data?

Every run hits the live Remotive API - you always get the current listings at the moment of the run.

📂 How many categories are supported?

All 30 categories that Remotive exposes via their API, including Software Development, AI, Design, Marketing, Sales, DevOps, Finance, Legal, Medical, and more.

💰 Does it always return salary information?

Salary is included when the employer provides it. Many listings do not disclose salary - those records will have salary: null. This is a limitation of the source data, not the scraper.

📝 Is the description in plain text or HTML?

Descriptions are returned as HTML exactly as Remotive serves them. You can strip tags with a simple regex or an HTML parser in your downstream code.

🔍 Can I search by keyword?

Yes. Set the search field to any keyword (e.g. "kubernetes", "senior react", "part-time copywriter") and the API will filter results accordingly.

🌍 Can I filter by location?

Remotive's API does not have a location filter - location is returned as a field on each listing. You can filter the output dataset by location using Apify's dataset filtering tools.

⚡ How fast does it run?

Typically under 5 seconds for any volume, since it is a direct API call with no browser overhead.

🔄 Can I schedule it to run automatically?

Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduler to run the actor daily, hourly, or on any cron schedule. Results accumulate in your dataset automatically.

🛑 What happens if the Remotive API is down?

The actor pushes an { error: "..." } record to the dataset and exits cleanly - no unhandled crashes.

📊 What export formats are available?

JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), and XML - all available directly from the Apify dataset UI or API.
