Remote Jobs Scraper · Remote Openings, Salary, Tags & Company

Remote Jobs Scraper extracts real-time remote job openings, hiring company names, salary ranges, skill tags, categories, location requirements, and direct application links from the Remotive API (https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs). Every extracted record maps the employer to a clean companyName field, enabling entity-level page generation and cross-dataset aggregation.

Maintained by reapX. Every row cites the Apify run that produced it — nothing is inferred, modelled or filled in, and a field absent from the source is absent from the row. The extracted archive for this source is browsable at reapx.dev/data/remote-jobs-scraper/ and mirrored as an open dataset on Hugging Face and Kaggle. Questions: reapxdev@proton.me

Maintained by reapx (reapxdev@proton.me). Public sources in, addressable records out. Citation guarantee & archive links.

How it works

1. Lightweight HTTP Retrieval: Connects directly to https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs using Python's standard network stack without standard headless browser overhead.
2. Entity Key Mapping: Maps raw company_name fields into companyName and validates against growth/entity_pages.py rules to guarantee 100% addressable page generation.
3. Structured Transformation: Parses HTML job descriptions into clean plain text (descriptionText) while preserving raw HTML formatting (descriptionHtml).
4. Resilient Network Architecture: Automatically retries failed requests with exponential backoff on intermittent errors or rate limits (HTTP 429/5xx).
5. Streamed Pushing & PPE Billing: Pushes records to the dataset in real-time batches of 20 items and charges per returned row under Apify's Pay-Per-Event system.

❓ FAQ

How often is the Remotive job data updated?

Remotive updates its public API listings continuously throughout the day. Running this scraper daily guarantees complete coverage of new remote openings.

Does this scraper require API keys or paid credentials?

No. This scraper extracts data from Remotive's public endpoint over HTTP without needing any API key or subscription.

How does pricing work?

The actor uses Pay-Per-Event billing at $0.002 per returned job row (plus a fixed $0.00005 start event). If a query returns zero results or encounters a block, nothing is charged for data items.

Can I filter by specific tech stacks like React or Python?

Yes. You can pass keywords into search or tagFilter to isolate specific technologies, frameworks, or languages.

⚠️ Run outcomes and error handling

This Actor reports what happened in the run's status message, and it always keeps whatever it collected. These are the outcomes you can get and what each one means.

Outcome	What it means
Success	Rows were returned and you were charged job-returned at $0.002 per row.
No matches	The source returned nothing for your filters. Nothing is charged. Widen the date window or drop a filter.
Partial - source refused	The source rate-limited or refused some requests. The affected items are skipped and named in the log, and everything already collected is still pushed. A block never discards a run's work.

What is guaranteed either way

• Every row is pushed as it is built, not buffered to the end of the run. Anything that buffers output loses everything to a timeout, a block or a migration; this does not.
• A field absent from the source is absent from the row. Nothing is inferred, modelled or filled in to make a row look complete.
