Remote Jobs API - RemoteOK, Jobicy, Arbeitnow & More

What does Remote Jobs API do?

Remote Jobs API collects remote job listings from several job boards in one clean schema: Remote OK, Jobicy, Arbeitnow and Working Nomads. Each job comes with title, company, logo, location or allowed regions, salary range, seniority, employment type, categories and tags, posting date, the full description as plain text, and the original job and apply links.

Filter by keywords, locations, salary and posting date, remove duplicates across boards, and switch on monitor mode to get only the jobs that are new since your last run. It reads the boards' public JSON APIs, so runs take a few seconds and never break on page redesigns.

Why use Remote Jobs API?

• Four boards, one format. No more writing a parser per job board: every job has the same fields, whatever the source.
• Official public APIs. Remote OK, Jobicy, Arbeitnow and Working Nomads publish these feeds for reuse. No scraping of HTML, no login, no proxies.
• Useful filters. Keywords (title, tags or full text), exclude words, location words such as europe or worldwide, salary-only, posted within N days, remote-only.
• Salary data. Salary ranges from the boards' own fields (Jobicy, Remote OK) plus clear ranges written in the description (e.g. "£30,000 - £40,000").
• De-duplicated. The same company + title posted on two boards is returned once.
• Monitor mode. onlyNew remembers what you already received, so a daily schedule becomes a new-jobs feed. Already-seen jobs are free.
• Cheap. $1 per 1,000 jobs, and info rows are free.

How much does it cost?

Remote Jobs API uses pay-per-event pricing.

Event	Price (Free plan)	When it is charged
Actor start	$0.0005	Once per run
Job returned	$0.001 ($1 per 1,000)	One job in the dataset

Info rows (no matches, a board temporarily unavailable) and jobs skipped as already seen in monitor mode are free. Paid Apify plans get Store discounts (Bronze −15%, Silver −30%, Gold and up −45%).

Worked examples (Free plan prices):

• All remote jobs of the last week from the four boards (about 1,000 after de-duplication): ≈ $1.
• A daily "new Python jobs" feed with onlyNew (about 20 new jobs a day): ≈ $0.02 per day, about $0.60 per month.
• A weekly salary snapshot of 300 jobs with salaries: ≈ $0.30 per run.

The Apify Free plan includes monthly platform credit, which covers runs like these.

Use cases

• Job boards and newsletters. Fill a niche remote job board, Slack/Discord channel or weekly newsletter with fresh listings (credit the source, see below).
• Job seekers. Get a daily email or spreadsheet of new remote jobs that match your skills and time zone.
• Recruiters and sales teams. See which companies are hiring remotely right now, and for which roles, as warm leads.
• Salary and market research. Track salary ranges, seniority mix and hiring volume by category over time.
• AI agents. Let an assistant answer "find me remote Rust jobs in Europe posted this week" with structured data.

Use with AI agents, MCP and the API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/teddythebuilder~remote-jobs-api/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["rust"],"postedWithinDays":7,"maxResults":50}'

Python with apify-client:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("teddythebuilder/remote-jobs-api").call(run_input={
    "keywords": ["product designer"],
    "locations": ["europe", "worldwide"],
    "withSalaryOnly": True,
    "maxResults": 100,
})
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job.get("company"), "-", job.get("title"), job.get("salaryMin"), job.get("salaryCurrency"), job.get("url"))

MCP: available as a tool in the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients.

Integrations

Send new jobs to Slack, Discord, Telegram, Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, email, Make, Zapier, n8n or a webhook after each scheduled run.

Data source and legality

All jobs come from public job-board APIs that their owners offer for reuse:

• Jobicy public Jobs API (jobicy.com/api/jobs): the documentation allows building job boards and aggregators and redistributing listings, as long as Jobicy is credited and apply buttons go to the original job URL.
• Remote OK API (remoteok.com/api): free to use with a link back to the job on Remote OK and naming Remote OK as the source.
• Arbeitnow Job Board API (arbeitnow.com/api/job-board-api): a free public API; a link back to Arbeitnow is requested.
• Working Nomads jobs feed (workingnomads.com/api/exposed_jobs/).

Every job therefore includes url (the job on the source board), applyUrl and an attribution text. If you publish the jobs, show the attribution and keep the links pointing to the source, as these boards ask. Boards whose API terms forbid passing jobs on to aggregators (for example Himalayas and Remotive) are deliberately not included.

The output contains company and job information only; the boards' APIs don't expose recruiters' personal contact details, and none are added.

FAQ

How far back do jobs go? Each board's public feed covers its recent listings: Jobicy the last 7 days, Remote OK the latest ~100 jobs, Arbeitnow and Working Nomads their newest pages. For history, schedule the actor daily with onlyNew and keep the dataset.

Why do I see German job titles? Arbeitnow focuses on Europe and Germany. Exclude it in Job boards, or add excludeKeywords such as m/w/d.

How are duplicates detected? Jobs with the same company and title (ignoring case and punctuation) are returned once, from the first board read.

Why is a salary missing? Many employers don't publish one. Salaries come from the boards' fields or from a clear currency range in the description; turn on Only jobs with a salary to keep only those.

Can you add another job board? Yes, if its API terms allow reuse. Open an issue with the board's name.

A board returned an error. The run continues with the other boards and adds a free info row. Try again later; public APIs sometimes rate-limit.
