Remotive.com Remote Jobs Scraper

Scrapes remote job listings from Remotive.com using their public REST API — no proxy required, no browser, zero external costs beyond Apify compute.

Architecture

Method: REST API — https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs?category={slug}

• ✅ No proxy — datacenter IPs work directly
• ✅ No Playwright or browser automation
• ✅ Public API with CORS * — no auth needed
• ✅ Iterates 21 categories, deduplicates by job ID
• ✅ Max ~420 unique jobs per run (20/category × 21 categories)

Note: The Remotive free API delays postings by 24h vs. the live site.
