RemoteOK Scraper - Remote Jobs, Salary & Tags API

Scrape remote job listings from RemoteOK into structured JSON, CSV or Excel. This RemoteOK scraper reads the live remote jobs feed and returns the position, company, tags, a derived category and seniority, the USD salary range, apply URL, contact emails and the full job description, with 14 input filters to target exactly the remote roles you want. No login or API key.

Here is one real result, with every field the actor returns (description trimmed for readability):

The most complete RemoteOK scraper on Apify. It returns every field RemoteOK exposes for a listing, plus derived fields other scrapers do not give you (category, seniority, isWorldwide, salaryCurrency, salaryDisclosed, excerpt, extracted contactEmails and off-platform applyLinks), and an optional detail add-on for employmentType, applicantRegion, validThrough and companyUrl. Fourteen input filters let you target the exact remote roles you need.

What it does

This is a remote jobs scraper and RemoteOK API export tool. It reads RemoteOK's live remote jobs feed, applies the filters you pass, and writes one normalized record per job to the run's dataset. Each record carries the position, company, RemoteOK tags, a derived category and seniority, the location, the published USD salary split into salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryText, the apply URL, both a clean plain-text description and the raw HTML rawDescription, plus a short excerpt. It also extracts public contactEmails and off-platform applyLinks out of each description, which most remote job board scrapers do not. Posting dates are normalized to ISO 8601 with a Unix postedEpoch, and any value RemoteOK does not publish is returned as null.

Turn on the optional detail add-on (enrichDetails) and each job is enriched from its RemoteOK page with employmentType, applicantRegion (the hiring-region requirement, for example United States or Anywhere), validThrough (the listing expiry) and companyUrl.

The scraper is HTTP-only and reads RemoteOK's JSON feed directly, so a typical run finishes in seconds. RemoteOK's public feed exposes roughly the 100 most recent postings; the actor filters and sorts across all of them.

How we compare

There are several RemoteOK scrapers on Apify. This one is built to be a strict superset on filters and fields, while staying honest about where others win.

Capability	scrapers_lat (this actor)	newbs/remoteok-premium-job-scraper	fetch_cat/remoteok-jobs-scraper	rocketapi/remoteok-jobs-scraper	pixflor/remote-jobs-aggregator
Input filters	14 (keyword, exclude, tag, company, location, remote region, seniority, min/max salary, salary-only, posted-after, posted-within-days, sort, max)	6	~13	5	~11
Contact emails from description	Yes	No	No	No	No
Off-platform apply links	Yes	No	No	No	No
Derived category and seniority	Yes (from title)	No	category only	No	category + seniority
salaryCurrency / salaryDisclosed	Yes / Yes	No	Yes / Yes	No	Yes / No
Verified-listing flag	Yes	No	No	No	No
Detail add-on (employmentType, applicantRegion, validThrough, companyUrl)	Yes (opt-in)	employmentType only	No	No	employmentType, locationRestrictions, expiresAt
Transport	JSON feed (fast)	browser	JSON feed	JSON feed	multi-board
Multi-board (WWR, Himalayas)	No, RemoteOK only	No	No	No	Yes
Adoption	growing	~102 users (most adopted)	~8 users	~2 users	~2 users
Price	per-result (see pricing tab)	$29/mo rental + usage	~$0.30-0.575 / 1k (cheaper)	$4 / 1k	~$2 / 1k

Honest notes: newbs/remoteok-premium-job-scraper has the largest user base today and bundles a structured baseSalary object; fetch_cat/remoteok-jobs-scraper is cheaper per result and also uses the JSON feed; pixflor/remote-jobs-aggregator covers multiple boards (We Work Remotely, Himalayas, Arbeitnow), which this RemoteOK-only actor does not. Where we win: more input filters, unique contactEmails and applyLinks, a verified flag, and derived category/seniority, all from a fast JSON feed.

Use cases

• Job aggregators and remote job boards: pull a clean, deduplicated remote jobs feed from RemoteOK with tags, category, salary and apply links to power a job board or newsletter.
• Recruiting and sourcing: capture the company, apply URL, off-platform apply links and any public contact emails to build outreach lists for remote hiring.
• Salary benchmarking: filter to listings with a disclosed USD salary (salaryOnly) and export salaryMin / salaryMax for remote compensation research by role, tag or seniority.
• Remote-work and labor-market research: track which categories, regions and tech stacks are hiring remotely over time using category, seniority, tags and postedAt.
• Lead generation: find companies actively hiring for a stack (tags), region (remoteRegion) or seniority and reach the hiring team via companyUrl and extracted emails.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the 10 most recent remote engineering jobs.

{
  "searchTerms": ["engineer"],
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "maxJobs": 10
}

Leave every filter empty to collect the full live feed. Combine filters to narrow: for example the highest-paying US remote jobs with a disclosed salary.

{
  "remoteRegion": "usa",
  "salaryOnly": true,
  "sortBy": "salary_high",
  "maxJobs": 25
}

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~remoteok-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms":["engineer"],"tags":["react"],"salaryOnly":true,"maxJobs":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~remoteok-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"remoteRegion":"europe","minSalary":100000,"sortBy":"salary_high","maxJobs":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/remoteok-scraper \
  --input '{"tags":["golang"],"sortBy":"newest","maxJobs":50}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per job returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Optional detail add-on. With enrichDetails on, each successfully enriched job also charges a details event. It is opt-in, off by default, and disabled for free accounts.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 jobs per run. Upgrade for higher maxJobs.
• Live feed size. RemoteOK's public feed exposes roughly the 100 most recent postings. The actor filters and sorts across all of them; it does not page deep historical archives.
• No login or API key is required.

FAQ and troubleshooting

How many jobs can I get per run? RemoteOK's public feed serves roughly its 100 most recent postings. This scraper filters and sorts across all of them, so maxJobs above ~100 will still return at most what the live feed contains. It is a live feed reader, not a historical archive.

A run returned 0 records. Why? Your filters excluded everything. Loosen searchTerms, remove tags, company or location, or turn off salaryOnly. Note that minSalary, maxSalary and salaryOnly all drop jobs with no published salary (only a minority of RemoteOK jobs disclose one). Zero-result runs are not charged.

Why is salaryMin / salaryMax null on some jobs? Not every RemoteOK listing publishes a salary. When none is given, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryText are null and salaryDisclosed is false. Use salaryOnly to keep only jobs with a published salary.

How are category and seniority set? Both are derived: category from the job title, seniority from the tags and title. They are best-effort and return null when the title gives no clear signal, so they are never fabricated.

What does enrichDetails add, and why is it optional? It fetches each job's RemoteOK page to add employmentType, applicantRegion, validThrough and companyUrl. That is one extra request per job, so it is slower and opt-in. It is billed as a details event only on a successful fetch and is disabled for free accounts.

What is the difference between description and rawDescription? description is clean plain text (mojibake fixed); rawDescription preserves the original HTML (links, lists, formatting).

Is this an official RemoteOK tool? No. This actor is independent and not affiliated with RemoteOK. It reads only publicly available RemoteOK data. Use it in accordance with RemoteOK's terms.
