Limitations

• RemoteOK's API returns the most recent ~100 job listings (not historical archive).
• Salary data is only available when the employer provides it (~30-40% of listings).
• RemoteOK requires attribution — results link back to original RemoteOK job postings.
• Job descriptions may contain residual formatting artifacts after HTML stripping.
