Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for remote-first companies worldwide

A dedicated remote-work scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Search, locations and currency (USD) are tuned for weworkremotely.com.

📄 Complete job data

Full job title and description, direct listing URL and publish date for every record.

🏢 Company details

Hiring company name plus the profile details the source publishes, such as logo and company page.

🔁 Repost & change detection

Every record carries isRepost and changeStatus, so daily feeds return genuinely new jobs instead of reposted duplicates.

Known limitations

• Salary is only returned when the employer publishes it — many listings carry null salary fields.
• Company details vary per listing; the scraper returns what the source publishes and never invents data.
• Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
• Listings can be removed by the source at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.
