How to Use

1. Build search URLs — Navigate to Remote.co, apply keyword or category filters, and copy the search result URL (e.g., https://remote.co/remote-jobs/search?searchkeyword=design&page=1).
2. Configure the scraper — Paste URLs into the urls array. Add multiple URLs for different keywords, pages, or categories.
3. Set output limits — Use max_items_per_url: 200 for bulk collection, or lower values for smaller datasets.
4. Enable resilience — Keep ignore_url_failures: true to handle temporary page errors gracefully.
5. Run and export — Execute the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Best practices:

• Use keyword filters to focus collection (e.g., searchkeyword=python for engineering roles).
• Paginate through results using page=1, page=2, etc., to avoid hitting rate limits.
• Test one URL first to verify output before running bulk collections.
