RemoteOK & Jobicy Remote Jobs API: Salary & Source Credit

RemoteOK and Jobicy remote jobs API in one Actor: get remote job listings from the official Remote OK and Jobicy APIs in one call, in one clean format: title, company, allowed location, salary, tags, posting date and the job URL. Every row carries the source credit each board asks for, so you can use the data in a job board, newsletter, Slack alert or AI agent without breaking the boards' API terms.

From $0.70 per 1,000 jobs ($1 on the Free plan, less on paid plans). You only pay for jobs in the output. Filters run before charging.

What you can use it for

• Job seekers and communities: a daily feed of remote engineering, marketing or design jobs, filtered by keyword, region and salary.
• Niche job boards and newsletters: fill your board with fresh remote jobs, with the link-back and credit already in each row.
• Alerts: schedule the Actor with Only jobs not delivered in earlier runs and send new jobs to Slack, email, Google Sheets or a webhook.
• Market research: which companies hire remotely, which skills are in demand, what salaries are published.
• AI agents: call it through the Apify API or MCP server to answer "find remote Python jobs that pay over $120k".

How to use

1. Keep both Job boards selected (or pick one).
2. Add keywords such as engineer, python or marketing (matched as whole words in the title and tags), and optionally a region or a minimum salary.
3. Click Start. The default input returns 20 jobs in a few seconds. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

For a feed of new jobs, turn on Only jobs not delivered in earlier runs and add a schedule (for example every 6 hours).

Input

Field	What it does
Job boards	remoteok, jobicy or both (default).
Title or tag contains	Any of these words in the title or tags, matched as whole words (engineer does not match Engineering; add both if you want both). Empty = all jobs.
Title must not contain	Drop jobs with these words in the title (e.g. senior, intern).
Location contains	Any of these in the allowed location, e.g. USA, Europe, Anywhere. Jobs with no location count as Anywhere.
Minimum yearly salary (USD)	Keep only jobs with a published yearly USD salary at or above this amount.
Posted within (days)	Only jobs published in the last N days.
Max jobs	Newest first. 0 = all matching jobs.
Include job description	Adds the full description as plain text.
Only jobs not delivered in earlier runs / Monitor name	Monitoring mode: later runs return only jobs you have not received yet (change = "new"). Use one monitor name per saved search.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.001 per job in the output on the Free plan (job event), lower on paid Apify plans (Bronze $0.0009, Silver $0.0008, Gold and above $0.0007), plus Apify's start fee of $0.00005 per GB of memory per run (the default 512 MB counts as one).

Examples: the default input (20 jobs) costs about $0.02. A daily alert that finds 30 new jobs costs about $0.03 per day, under $1 per month. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options; the Actor stops adding jobs when the cap is reached.

Data sources and terms

The Actor reads only the official public APIs, never the websites:

• Remote OK – https://remoteok.com/api. Remote OK's API terms ask you to link back to the job's URL on Remote OK (a normal, followed link, not nofollow) and mention Remote OK as the source, and not to use the Remote OK logo without their written permission. The url and attribution fields give you what you need. See https://remoteok.com/api.
• Jobicy – https://jobicy.com/api/jobs. Jobicy allows storing and redistributing its job data in your own products, on the condition that you credit Jobicy with a direct link and send apply buttons to the original job URL (applyUrl), and that automated syncs happen at most once per hour. The Actor caches both boards' responses in your own Apify storage (key-value store remote-jobs-cache) for one hour, so runs you start more often reuse them; the hour is counted per Apify account. See https://jobicy.com/jobs-rss-feed.

If you publish the jobs, keep the url link and the source name next to each job. Remote OK returns its latest ~100 jobs per request; Jobicy returns jobs from roughly the last 7 days (up to 1,000, in 5 pages of 200).

Limits

• Both APIs list recent jobs only, so this is a feed of current openings, not an archive.
• Monitoring reports new jobs only. A job that drops out of a feed is not necessarily closed, so the Actor does not guess.
• Salaries are published for a minority of jobs (about 1 in 5 on Remote OK). Remote OK salaries are yearly USD. Jobicy salaries keep their own currency and interval.
• The same job (same company and title) posted on both boards is output once; the other board is listed in alsoOn. Two jobs with the same title on one board (e.g. for two countries) are both kept.
• Text that the source sent with broken characters is repaired when possible; a few mixed cases stay as sent.
• With Max jobs at 200 or less, the Actor reads only the newest page (200 jobs) of Jobicy, so filters see fewer Jobicy jobs. Set 0 or more than 200 to read up to 1,000.
• A board that rate-limits (HTTP 429), errors (5xx) or sends a block page instead of JSON is retried twice, waiting as long as it asks (up to 2 minutes).
• If one board is down, the run still returns the other board's jobs and explains the failure in the SUMMARY record. If both fail, the run fails with a message naming them.

FAQ

How do I get only new jobs every day? Turn on Only jobs not delivered in earlier runs, save the input as a task and add a schedule. Each run outputs only jobs you have not received yet.

Can I use it from Make, n8n, Zapier or code? Yes. Use the Apify integration for Make, n8n or Zapier, or call the Actor through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) from Python or JavaScript, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

Why are some locations empty? Remote OK often leaves the location blank, which means the job is open worldwide. These jobs match the Anywhere location filter.

For AI Agents

Job-search agents and assistants can use this Actor as their remote-jobs tool: one call returns fresh listings from two boards, already filtered, with salary fields as numbers and a link-back in every row. No login, no API key for the boards, pay per job through Apify (pay per event), limited permissions.

MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients), with only this Actor as a tool:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-jobs": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tamatama/remote-jobs"
    }
  }
}

The first connection opens an OAuth sign-in (a header Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> also works). The agent gets a tool named tamatama--remote-jobs (plus get-dataset-items for long lists). For "remote Python jobs that can pay $120k or more, open to Europe" it would send:

{ "keywords": ["python"], "locationKeywords": ["europe", "anywhere"], "salaryMinUsd": 120000, "maxItems": 20 }

When the agent shows a job to a user, it should show the attribution name and the url: both boards ask for that credit.
