Why this scraper?

Built for remote work

Every listing on Remotive is a remote role. You get the full active feed, filterable by category, keyword, company, location, job type and salary.

Complete job data

Job title, company, category, tags, employment type, apply URL, publish date and candidate location. Full description in HTML, plain text and Markdown.

Structured salary

Salary is parsed into minimum, maximum, currency and pay period, alongside the original text. Listings without a published salary return null for these fields rather than dropping them.

Flexible filtering

Filter by keyword, company name, job type, candidate location, minimum salary and publish date. Cap the result count to control spend exactly.

Clean, predictable schema

Every record has the same fields in the same shape. A content hash and a source tag are included on every record for change detection and provenance.

Known limitations

• Salary is only present when the employer publishes it. Roughly a third of listings carry a salary, so salary_* fields are often null.
• The result set is Remotive's current active remote-job feed. Volume varies with what Remotive has live at the time of the run.
• Company logos and any recruiter or personal contact details are never included, by policy.

---

Technical details

• Source: remotive.com public remote-jobs feed.
• Push notifications: get new results delivered to Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp or any webhook the moment a scheduled run finds them
• Coverage: all active categories, filterable by keyword, company, location, job type and salary.
• Retry: automatic retry on network errors with backoff.
