This Actor collects remote job listings from well-known public job feeds - the Remotive API, RemoteOK JSON API, We Work Remotely RSS, Himalayas public jobs API and Arbeitnow job board API - and normalizes them into a single consistent schema.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Remote Job Boards Aggregator – remote jobs API and data export

Give it a list of public remote job feeds and an optional keyword. You get back one row per remote job, all in the same format, whichever board it came from. Each row has the title, company, location, job type, tags, the original posting link and the posting date.

Duplicate postings (same company and title) that show up on more than one board are removed, so you only see each job once. Schedule it to run daily and you have a steady feed of fresh remote roles.

### Why this one

- **Five feeds, one format.** Remotive, RemoteOK, We Work Remotely, Himalayas and Arbeitnow all come back with the same fields.
- **No duplicates.** The same job posted on several boards is only output once, so you don't pay twice for it.
- **Keyword filter built in.** Your keyword is matched against the title, company and tags, ignoring case.
- **Links back to the source.** Every row includes the original posting URL.
- **Public feeds only.** No login or credentials are needed.
- **Cheap and fair.** $4.30 per 1,000 results, and runs with no results cost nothing.

### Quick start

```json
{
  "sources": ["remotive", "remoteok", "arbeitnow"],
  "keyword": "developer",
  "maxResults": 5
}
```

This returns up to 5 unique remote jobs matching "developer" from those three feeds. In a test run on 28 Oct 2026 it returned 4 jobs.

### What you can use it for

| Who | What for |
| --- | --- |
| Recruiters and sourcers | Watch the remote hiring market each day for new roles |
| Job seekers and career coaches | Build remote job alerts for a skill or job title |
| Market analysts | Track which skills and companies are hiring remotely |
| Job board operators | Add fresh public listings to their own site, with a link back to the source |

### How to use it

1. Click **Try for free**.
2. In **Sources**, pick the feeds to query: `remotive`, `remoteok`, `weworkremotely`, `himalayas`, `arbeitnow`.
3. In **Keyword filter**, enter an optional word such as `developer`. It is matched against title, company and tags.
4. In **Maximum results**, set the cap on total jobs, from 1 to 1000 (default 100).
5. Click **Start**.

To keep a job list fresh, set the run on a schedule and export the results each time.

### What data you get

Each row is one remote job. Fields come from the sample output.

| Field | What it is | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | Stable ID, prefixed with the source | `remotive-2091133` |
| `source` | Which feed the job came from | `remotive` |
| `title` | Job title | `Senior React Full-stack Developer` |
| `company` | Hiring company | `Lemon.io` |
| `url` | Link to the original posting | `https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-development/senior-react-full-stack-developer-2091133` |
| `location` | Where the role is open | `Europe, USA, Canada, APAC` |
| `jobType` | Employment type, as the feed reports it | `full_time` |
| `salary` | Salary text, when the feed gives one | `null` |
| `tags` | Skills or labels on the posting | `["react", "node.js"]` |
| `postedAt` | When the job was posted (ISO 8601) | `2026-10-02T13:30:06.000Z` |
| `scrapedAt` | When the row was collected (ISO 8601) | `2026-10-28T13:29:19.760Z` |

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
| --- | --- |
| Result (each job written to the dataset) | $0.0043 |

There is no start fee. Runs with no results cost nothing.

| Run | Cost |
| --- | --- |
| 100 results | $0.43 |
| 1,000 results | $4.30 |
| 10,000 results | $43.00 |

### Good to know

- **Output cap.** A run returns at most 1,000 jobs.
- **Public feeds.** Data comes from the job feeds the boards publish themselves. No login or private data is used.
- **If a feed fails.** It is logged and skipped, and the other feeds carry on. Each feed is fetched once per run.
- **Fields vary.** Feed contents, such as salary, and rate limits are set by each provider and can change.
- **Attribution.** Providers commonly ask for credit and a link back. Every row includes the original URL for this.
- **Not affiliated.** This tool isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Remotive, RemoteOK, We Work Remotely, Himalayas or Arbeitnow.

### Getting the data out

Download results as Excel, CSV or JSON from the Output tab. Send them to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make or webhooks from the **Integrations** tab. Every run is available through the Apify API. Schedule runs from **Schedules**.

### Questions or problems

Open an issue on the **Issues** tab and include the run link. I reply within one business day.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("snappytools/remote-job-boards-aggregator").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "sources": [
    "remotive",
    "remoteok",
    "arbeitnow"
  ],
  "keyword": "developer",
  "maxResults": 50

apify call snappytools/remote-job-boards-aggregator --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,snappytools/remote-job-boards-aggregator"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
