Remote Tech Jobs Aggregator - 7 Job Boards, One Clean Feed

Pull remote and tech job listings from seven public job sources into one normalized, de-duplicated dataset: RemoteOK, Remotive, Arbeitnow, Himalayas, Jobicy, We Work Remotely and the monthly Hacker News "Who is hiring?" thread. Filter by keyword, category, seniority, location and salary, and pay only for the jobs you actually receive.

It reads the sources' public APIs and RSS feeds. It does not log in, does not use headless browsers and does not scrape LinkedIn, Indeed or Glassdoor.

Who is it for

• Job seekers and career coaches who want one daily feed of fresh remote roles instead of checking seven sites.
• Recruiters and sourcers looking for companies that are hiring right now (a hiring company is a sales lead too).
• Newsletter and job-board builders who need a normalized feed with attribution fields already filled in.
• Analysts tracking which skills, countries and salary ranges show up in remote hiring.

What you get

Every job is one flat row with the same fields no matter which source it came from: title, company, logo, location, remote type, country hints, salary range (when published), tags, category, seniority guess, employment type, posting date, apply URL, source URL, optional cleaned description and an attribution line. The same job published on several boards is returned once (matching on normalized company + title + location) and lists the other copies in alsoOn.

}

Besides the dataset, each run stores OUTPUT (JSON summary with per-source status, counts, skipped reasons, charged events and stoppedReason) and RESULTS_MD (short Markdown summary) in the key-value store.

Pricing

Pay only for jobs delivered: $0.002 per job ($2 per 1,000) (job event), so 1,000 jobs cost $2.00 before any Apify plan discount. You are never charged for source errors, empty results, duplicates, jobs filtered out, or jobs beyond your "maximum cost per run". When the budget is reached the run stops softly and keeps everything delivered so far. Free-plan users can try it on the free monthly credits; the default test input (10 jobs) costs about two cents. Platform compute usage is included in the price.

How it works

1. All selected sources are fetched in parallel (each source politely and sequentially, with a clear User-Agent, timeouts and retries with backoff). One failing source never fails the run; it appears in OUTPUT.sources with its error.
2. Every record is normalized: HTML is cleaned to text, salaries are parsed, locations are mapped to country hints, seniority and category are derived from the title.
3. Filters are applied, duplicates across sources are merged, results are sorted by posting date (newest first) and capped at maxResults.
4. Each delivered job is charged once. Progress is saved in the key-value store, so after a migration or restart already delivered jobs are not pushed or charged again.

Source details: RemoteOK public JSON API (the first element is a legal notice that we skip and keep as attribution), Remotive public API, Arbeitnow job-board API (up to 5 pages), Himalayas jobs API (paged), Jobicy v2 API, We Work Remotely RSS category feeds, and Hacker News via the Algolia API (top-level comments of the latest "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" threads, parsed from the usual Company | Role | Location | ... first line).

Salary notes

• RemoteOK, Himalayas and Jobicy return numeric ranges; Remotive and Hacker News salaries are parsed from free text ($80k - $100k, EUR 70k-90k).
• salaryUsdYearlyEstimate is filled only for USD amounts that are clearly yearly, or hourly (hourly x 2,080). Other currencies and monthly figures are left null rather than guessed with exchange rates.
• When minSalaryUsd is above 0, jobs without a usable USD estimate are dropped.

Limits and honest caveats

• Coverage equals what these seven sources publish. It is not a LinkedIn, Indeed or Glassdoor scraper.
• Seniority, category, remote type and country hints are heuristics from titles and location text. Expect some wrong or empty values, especially on Hacker News comments, which are free-form.
• Location filters can only use the text the source gives. "Remote - US only" detection depends on the wording used.
• Several boards limit how many items their public endpoints return per request (often 20-100 recent jobs), so very old listings are not reachable.
• Source APIs can change without notice. If one stops working, the others still deliver and the run summary tells you which one failed.
• Duplicate detection is text based; the same role posted twice by one company in the same city can be merged.

Legal and ethical notes

The data comes from public feeds that the sources offer for reuse. Their terms differ: RemoteOK, Remotive, Himalayas and Jobicy ask for a visible link back to the original job and credit to the source - every row carries sourceUrl and attribution for that purpose, please keep them when you republish. Hacker News comments are written by individuals and companies; do not use contact details found in them for unsolicited bulk marketing, and respect GDPR and the laws of your country. You are responsible for how you use the data. This actor is not affiliated with any of the listed sources.

FAQ

Does it need proxies or logins? No. All sources are public and open.

Why do I get fewer jobs than maxResults? Filters, the posting-date window and de-duplication remove rows. Widen postedWithinDays, drop filters, or select more sources.

Can I run it daily? Yes. Schedule it in Apify; each run is independent and only charges for the rows it delivers. Use postedWithinDays: 1 for a daily "new jobs" feed.

Why is my salary filter so strict? Many jobs publish no salary. With minSalaryUsd set, only jobs with a usable USD estimate are kept.

Is the description full text? With includeDescription it is cleaned plain text cut at 4,000 characters. Keyword filters use the whole description even when you do not request it.

What happens if a source is down? The run continues with the remaining sources and reports the failure in OUTPUT. If every source fails the run fails and nothing is charged.

What does alsoOn mean? The same job was found on other sources; the row you get is the most complete copy.

Use via API

Replace YOUR_TOKEN with your Apify API token.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tiger19935~remote-tech-jobs-aggregator/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"sources":["remoteok","arbeitnow"],"keywords":["developer"],"maxResults":10}'

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('tiger19935/remote-tech-jobs-aggregator').call({
    keywords: ['react'], seniority: ['senior'], maxResults: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.length, 'jobs');

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("tiger19935/remote-tech-jobs-aggregator").call(
    run_input={"keywords": ["python"], "locations": ["Europe"], "maxResults": 50}
)
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["company"], "-", job["title"], job["applyUrl"])

Integrations

Use the Apify integrations for Make, n8n and Zapier to start the actor on a schedule and send each new job to Slack, Telegram, email or Airtable. For Google Sheets use the Apify Google Sheets integration or export the dataset as CSV/XLSX. A typical flow: schedule daily, postedWithinDays: 1, filter by your keywords, append rows to a sheet and notify a channel.
