Remote Jobs API: Remote OK, Himalayas, Jobicy & Arbeitnow Scraper

Get today's remote and work-from-home jobs from 4 remote job boards in one clean, deduplicated dataset. Search by keyword (e.g. python, customer support, marketing) and region (e.g. Europe, USA, worldwide). Each row includes the title, company, salary range, location restrictions, tags, seniority, posting date, the original job and apply links, and the full description as plain text.

Every board is read through its official public job API, so there are no broken HTML scrapers, CAPTCHAs or proxy bills. You pay $1 per 1,000 jobs, and only for jobs saved.

Popular uses: running a remote job board or newsletter, daily remote-job alerts to Slack, email or Google Sheets, remote hiring trend research, and feeding AI job-matching apps and agents.

Why this remote jobs scraper?

• 4 boards, 1 schema. Himalayas, Remote OK, Jobicy and Arbeitnow (remote roles only) all come back with the same fields, so you can skip writing per-site parsers.
• Cross-board deduplication. The same job is often posted on several boards. We keep one copy per company + title.
• Clean output. Dates are ISO 8601 UTC, salaries are numbers with currency and period, descriptions are HTML-free text, and location restrictions come as an array.
• Reliable. It uses official APIs with retries, backoff and response validation. If one board is down you still get the other three, and the SOURCE_REPORT record tells you what happened.
• Attribution built in. Every row includes jobUrl (the original listing) and an attribution string, so you can meet each board's terms when you republish.
• Cheap and predictable. You pay only for jobs saved to the dataset. Duplicates and filtered-out jobs cost nothing.

You can download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read it through the Apify API. Each run also stores a SOURCE_REPORT record (how many jobs were fetched and matched per board) and an OUTPUT_STATS record in the key-value store.

Pricing

Pricing is pay-per-event: $0.001 per job saved ($1 per 1,000 jobs). A daily run of 300 jobs costs about $0.30. To cap spending, set Max total charge in the run options. The Actor stops cleanly as soon as the cap is reached and keeps everything already collected.

Scheduling & alerts

Create an Apify Schedule (for example, daily at 07:00) with postedWithinDays: 1. Then send new jobs to Slack, Google Sheets or a webhook with Apify integrations. To skip jobs you have already seen, dedupe on source + sourceJobId.

Run it from code: API, Python, JavaScript or cURL

Every Apify Actor is also a REST API. Get your token in Apify Console under Settings → API & Integrations, then:

cURL (runs the Actor and returns the remote jobs in one call):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/saadhazz~remote-jobs-aggregator/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["python"], "postedWithinDays": 7, "maxJobs": 200}'

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("saadhazz/remote-jobs-aggregator").call(run_input={"searchTerms": ["python"], "postedWithinDays": 7, "maxJobs": 200})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript / Node.js (npm i apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('saadhazz/remote-jobs-aggregator').call({"searchTerms": ["python"], "postedWithinDays": 7, "maxJobs": 200});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Use it with AI agents (MCP), Make, Zapier, n8n and Google Sheets

• AI agents and LLM apps: connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client to https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=saadhazz/remote-jobs-aggregator and the agent can call this Actor as a tool.
• No-code: use the official Apify integrations for Make, Zapier and n8n, or export the dataset straight to Google Sheets, CSV, Excel or JSON.
• Scheduling and webhooks: create a Schedule in Apify Console (e.g. every morning) and add a webhook or Slack/email integration to get notified when new data is ready.

Is this legal? Attribution requirements

This Actor only calls the free public APIs these boards publish for developers:

• Himalayas: Remote Jobs API. Show a link back to the job on himalayas.app.
• Remote OK: remoteok.com/api. Link back to the job URL and mention Remote OK as the source.
• Jobicy: Remote Jobs API. Credit Jobicy with a direct link and point apply buttons to the original listing.
• Arbeitnow: Job Board API. Link back to the job.

If you republish the jobs, keep jobUrl and the attribution visible. The data contains job postings only, with no personal data about candidates. We leave out boards whose terms forbid redistribution (for example Remotive) and any site that blocks automated access.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? It is live: every run calls the boards' APIs at run time. Some boards cache their feed for a few hours.

Why did a board return few jobs? Remote OK and Jobicy publish only their latest postings (about 100 per tag) in the API, and Arbeitnow is mostly Germany-based with a remote filter applied. Check SOURCE_REPORT to see each board's counts.

Can I add more boards? Yes, open an issue on the Actor page. We only add boards that offer a public API or explicitly allow automated access.

Do you have jobs from company career sites (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable)? Yes. Job Search API: Career Site Jobs searches 400,000+ of them by title, country and remote, and ATS Jobs API pulls every job from the companies you list.

Why not Remotive? Its API terms ask that its jobs are not passed on to third-party sites and point to a paid private API for that, so we leave it out. Every board we include publishes a public API for this kind of use.
