RemoteOK Jobs Scraper | Remote Tech Jobs, Salary & Stack
Pricing
from $0.80 / 1,000 results
Scrape the whole RemoteOK board into structured rows: job title, company, salary range, tech stack, location and a link to the original posting. Reads RemoteOK's public JSON feed - no browser, no proxy, no login - so a full run takes seconds. Filter by tech stack, category, region or minimum salary.
Measured against the live Store listing: asking for the advertised maximum of 100 returned
100 (100%), and the count reproduced exactly across separate runs — so this is the board's real
inventory, not a flaky scrape. The status message said only Returned 100 RemoteOK postings., which a
buyer who asked for 100 cannot tell apart from a broken Actor.
finishRun() now receives requested: maxJobs and appends the reason:
RUN_STATS also carries requested and boardExhausted. Logic and tests live in
apify-actor-kit (inventory.ts); src/kit/ here is generated.
Adopts the shared src/kit/, generated from apify-actor-kit — do not edit in place; check-sync.sh fails a build on any hand-edit.
This is the first consumer.
Until now a run that returned nothing printed ✓ Scraping complete! and exited
SUCCEEDED. A buyer paying per result could not tell a too-narrow filter from a
broken actor from a RemoteOK format change. Now:
| outcome | run |
|---|---|
| Filters removed everything | FAILS — Read 99 postings but every one was removed by your filters (techStackFilter=99). Loosen the filters and re-run. |
| API returned records, none usable | FAILS — a RemoteOK format change, reported as one |
| Feed genuinely empty | FAILS — and says how to tell the two apart |

failOnZeroResults (default true) lets a scheduled user opt back into
quiet green runs.RUN_STATS now carries a per-filter breakdown (filteredOut), and is
written before the failure — a failed run is exactly when someone reads it.Verified locally against the live feed, no platform spend:
99 fetched → 99 parsed → filteredOut {techStackFilter: 98} → 1 pushed, exit 0;
and with a filter matching nothing, exit 1 with
RUN_STATS.zeroRowReason = filtered_outmaxJobs advertised a ceiling it cannot reachThe input schema offered up to 1,000. RemoteOK's public feed is a single un-paginated page of ~100 live postings, so anything above that was unreachable by construction. Maximum corrected to 100 and the description now states the real limit. Selling a cap that cannot be delivered is a refund request.

~$0.05 per 1,000 rows — the cheapest actor in the portfolio. 49 rows is source exhaustion: the RemoteOK homepage is the only page read and it carries ~49 listings.
maxJobs advertises a maximum of 1,000; ~49 is achievable.description is not a description — it is the row's embedded JSON-LD blob captured via
textContent and truncated at 1,000 chars, mid-string.verified (hard-coded false) and currency (hard-coded "USD") are fabricated.postedAt, companyUrl, applyUrl are declared but never populated.skills duplicates techStack.jobId fallback embeds Date.now(), so it differs every run.$1500 would parse as $150,000.categories filter is bypassed for jobs with no detected category.All are itemized and prioritized in docs/IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md.
