RemoteOk Job Scraper

What does RemoteOK Jobs Scraper do?

RemoteOK Jobs Scraper collects public remote job listings from RemoteOK and returns them as a structured Apify dataset. Provide a RemoteOK jobs page, an optional keyword, and the number of results you want to save. The output includes job titles, companies, locations, salary values, tags, descriptions, dates, job links, and application links for hiring research, remote-work monitoring, and job-feed automation.

The Actor supports the main RemoteOK jobs feed as well as category pages such as https://remoteok.com/remote-support-jobs. It removes duplicate listings across the collected sources and keeps the result limit under your control.

Why use RemoteOK Jobs Scraper?

• Remote hiring research - Build repeatable datasets for tracking demand by role, company, location, and skill tag.
• Salary benchmarking - Compare available minimum and maximum salary values across remote positions.
• Recruiting workflows - Find companies with active openings and route relevant job records into outreach or sourcing processes.
• Keyword targeting - Keep jobs that match a skill, title, company, tag, or phrase in the listing data.
• Trend monitoring - Schedule recurring runs to watch remote hiring activity over time.
• Automation-ready exports - Send results to Google Sheets, Airtable, dashboards, webhooks, or your own data pipeline using Apify dataset exports and integrations.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with results_wanted between 20 and 50 to confirm that the selected page and keyword match your needs.
• Use a category-specific startUrl when you want a narrower role group, such as support, design, or developer jobs.
• Use a keyword for additional filtering by skills, job titles, companies, tags, or phrases in descriptions.
• Enable proxyConfiguration for repeated or larger runs when you need more consistent access.
• Review salary fields carefully because many job listings do not publish compensation.
• Schedule runs at a consistent interval when building hiring-trend or new-listing monitoring datasets.
• Check the dataset preview before connecting results to alerts, dashboards, or downstream automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I collect jobs from a RemoteOK category page?

Yes. Set startUrl to a public RemoteOK category page, such as https://remoteok.com/remote-support-jobs, and the Actor will use that page as part of the collection scope.

Can I filter RemoteOK jobs by keyword?

Yes. Add a value to keyword to keep listings whose title, company, tags, or description contains the requested text.

Can I collect more than 100 jobs?

Yes. Set results_wanted to the number of unique jobs you need. Larger runs may take longer and can benefit from an Apify Proxy configuration.

Why is a salary field empty?

Salary values are empty when the RemoteOK listing does not publish a minimum or maximum salary.

Are duplicate jobs removed?

Yes. The Actor uses the job identifier to keep repeated records from being saved more than once during a run.

Can I schedule recurring runs?

Yes. Apify Schedules can run the Actor hourly, daily, weekly, or at another interval for recurring job monitoring.

What should I do if a field is missing?

Check several listings before treating an empty field as an error. Source pages do not always publish every value, especially salary, logo, location, or application details.

Is it legal to collect RemoteOK data?

Public data collection may be permitted for some uses, but you are responsible for following applicable laws, privacy requirements, and RemoteOK terms. Use the dataset responsibly and respect any access restrictions.
