Remote Jobs Aggregator - 5 Boards, Deduplicated

Build one fresh remote-jobs feed from three popular public sources. This Apify Actor fetches Remotive, Remote OK, and We Work Remotely concurrently, normalizes every listing to the same shape, removes duplicate URLs, and saves up to your requested limit.

No API key, paid proxy, or paid data source is required. A failed source is logged and skipped, so the other job boards can still produce results.

Use cases

• Power remote-job newsletters, alerts, and search experiences.
• Monitor hiring demand across several boards at once.
• Export a clean dataset for analysis, enrichment, or automation.
• Replace three source-specific integrations with one stable schema.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
keyword	string	""	Optional keyword. Empty returns all available jobs. Remote OK matches position and tags; We Work Remotely searches its listing text.
category	string	""	Optional Remotive category slug, such as software-dev. The other feeds do not expose a compatible category filter.
maxJobs	integer	100	Maximum unique jobs across all sources combined. Allowed range: 1–500.

Example input:

{
  "keyword": "developer",
  "category": "software-dev",
  "maxJobs": 100
}

Leave both search fields empty for a broad multi-board feed:

{
  "keyword": "",
  "category": "",
  "maxJobs": 100
}

Output

Every dataset item has the same normalized fields:

• source — remotive, remoteok, or weworkremotely
• title — job title
• company — hiring company
• category — source category when available
• tags — source-supplied skill or topic tags
• location — candidate location or regional restriction
• salary — source salary text, or null
• url — original job-board URL
• publishedAt — ISO 8601 timestamp, or null
• description — plain text, truncated to 500 characters

Example output:

{
  "source": "remotive",
  "title": "Senior Backend Developer",
  "company": "Example Labs",
  "category": "Software Development",
  "tags": ["node.js", "api", "postgresql"],
  "location": "Worldwide",
  "salary": "$120k–$150k",
  "url": "https://remotive.com/remote-jobs/software-development/example-job",
  "publishedAt": "2026-07-15T10:30:00.000Z",
  "description": "Example Labs is looking for a senior backend developer to build reliable APIs..."
}

Results are selected round-robin across available sources, deduplicated by URL, and capped by maxJobs. The run log ends with a SUMMARY containing the total and per-source counts.

Run locally

Use Node.js 20 or newer. Save an input file at storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json, then run:

npm install
node src/main.js

Results are written to storage/datasets/default/.

Free public data sources

• Remotive public API
• Remote OK public API — output URLs link back to Remote OK as required by its API notice.
• We Work Remotely RSS

The Actor uses native fetch with request timeouts and retry backoff. Review each source's current terms before redistributing or republishing its data.

How to use Remote Jobs Aggregator

1. Open Remote Jobs Aggregator on Apify Store and click Try for free.
2. Fill in the input (the form is prefilled with a working example) and click Start.
3. Watch results appear in the Output tab, then download them as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read them through the API.
4. Optional: save the input as a task and add a schedule to run it automatically, or connect it to your tools with integrations and webhooks.

How much does Remote Jobs Aggregator cost?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay only for what it delivers, and platform usage is included.

Event	Price
Actor start	$5e-05 per run
Job listing	$0.001 each ($1.00 per 1,000)

Set Maximum cost per run in the run options to cap your spend; the Actor stops when the limit is reached. Check the Pricing tab for current prices and plan discounts.

Use Remote Jobs Aggregator with AI agents (MCP)

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client this Actor as a tool through the hosted Apify MCP server. The agent sees the input fields with descriptions and example values, runs the Actor, and reads the results.

MCP server URL (this Actor only):

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/remote-jobs-aggregator

Claude Code:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/remote-jobs-aggregator" --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"

Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop and other clients (mcp.json or the client's MCP settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/remote-jobs-aggregator",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Clients that support sign-in (such as Claude.ai connectors) can use the URL without a token and log in to Apify instead. Get your token in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations, or generate a ready config for your client at mcp.apify.com. In the agent the tool is named technicaldost--remote-jobs-aggregator; ask it, for example, to "run Remote Jobs Aggregator with {}".

AI agents without an Apify account can also run and pay for this Actor per request with x402 agentic payments.

Run Remote Jobs Aggregator via API

Run the Actor and get its results in one call (replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/technicaldost~remote-jobs-aggregator/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("technicaldost/remote-jobs-aggregator").call(run_input={})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript / TypeScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('technicaldost/remote-jobs-aggregator').call({});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Long runs: start them with POST /v2/acts/technicaldost~remote-jobs-aggregator/runs and fetch the dataset when the run finishes, or receive a webhook.
