Remote Jobs Aggregator (RemoteOK, WWR, Hacker News)

What is Remote Jobs Aggregator (RemoteOK, WWR, Hacker News)?

Remote Jobs Aggregator is an Apify Actor that merges and de-duplicates remote job listings from three of the biggest public remote-work feeds — RemoteOK's JSON API, We Work Remotely's RSS feed and Hacker News's monthly "Who is hiring?" thread — into a single, clean dataset: one row per job, with title, company, location, salary, tags and a direct apply link. No API key, no login, no proxies. It can also fold in named Greenhouse and Ashby company boards so a recruiter's own target-company list rides in the same run. Runs on Apify's schedule, webhook and API infrastructure, so a daily "new remote jobs" digest is a five-minute setup.

Why use Remote Jobs Aggregator?

• Job boards and newsletters pull a fresh, de-duplicated remote-jobs feed every morning instead of manually checking three different sites.
• Recruiters and sourcers filter by keyword (e.g. python, staff engineer) across every feed at once, then add their own tracked companies via greenhouseBoards/ashbyBoards.
• Labor-market researchers track hiring volume, salary ranges and remote-vs-hybrid language across RemoteOK, WWR and Hacker News month over month.
• Job seekers building a personal tracker get one flat table instead of three tabs, ready to import into a spreadsheet or Notion.

How to use Remote Jobs Aggregator

1. Leave Feeds to aggregate on all three (remoteok, weworkremotely, hackernews), or narrow it to just one.
2. Optionally add Keywords (e.g. react, remote) to keep only matching jobs — matching checks title, company and tags.
3. Set Max jobs and Posted within (days) to cap the result size and freshness.
4. Optionally list Greenhouse boards / Ashby boards slugs to fold specific companies into the same run.
5. Click Start and export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML from the Output tab.

Data table

Remote Jobs Aggregator extracts 18 fields per row:

Field	Type	Description
source	string	remoteok, weworkremotely, hackernews, greenhouse or ashby
jobId, title, company	string	Identifier, job title and hiring company
companyUrl, applyUrl	string	Company site (when the feed publishes one) and the direct apply/read link
location, isRemote	string, boolean	Free-text location and whether the posting is explicitly remote
employmentType	string	e.g. Full-time, Contract, Internship, when the source states one
salaryText, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency	string, number, number, string	Salary as published, plus parsed numeric range and currency

scrapedAt	string	Timestamp of the run (ISO 8601 UTC)

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
sources	array	["remoteok","weworkremotely","hackernews"]	Which feeds to merge
keywords	array	[]	Case-insensitive filter on title, company and tags
maxJobs	integer	100	Max rows after merge + de-duplication (1-2000)

maxConcurrency	integer	3	Parallel requests for the Greenhouse/Ashby board list

Pricing

Remote Jobs Aggregator uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.001 per result row, plus a negligible actor-start fee. The default run (100 jobs across three feeds) costs about ten cents. Set Maximum cost per run and the Actor trims the work to what the budget covers instead of overspending.

Remote Jobs Aggregator vs. checking each site by hand

RemoteOK, We Work Remotely and Hacker News each publish jobs in a different shape — a JSON API, an RSS feed and a freeform comment thread — and none of them de-duplicate against each other, so the same YC-funded startup's opening can show up on all three. This Actor normalises all three into one row shape, strips duplicates on company + title + apply link, and adds a numeric salary range wherever the source states one, so a downstream spreadsheet or dashboard never has to touch three different formats.

Using Remote Jobs Aggregator with AI agents and MCP

Remote Jobs Aggregator is pay-per-event with limited permissions — the two requirements for an Actor to be callable through the Apify MCP server at mcp.apify.com. An agent passes a keywords list (or none, for everything) and gets back structured job rows — title, company, salary, apply link — ready to summarise "what remote Python jobs opened this week" without the agent having to parse three different websites itself.

FAQ

Does this need an API key or login? No. RemoteOK's /api endpoint, We Work Remotely's RSS feed and Hacker News's Algolia search API are all public and unauthenticated. Greenhouse and Ashby's board APIs are the same public JSON endpoints their own career pages use.

Why is company/title sometimes null for a Hacker News row? Hacker News "Who is hiring?" posts have no fixed format — most follow a Company | Role | Location | ... convention that this Actor parses, but a post written as plain prose has nothing reliable to extract, so those fields stay null while description still carries the full text.

Why are salaryMin/salaryMax null for most rows? Only RemoteOK's own numeric fields, Ashby's structured compensation block, and a Hacker News headline that names a currency are trusted — this Actor deliberately does not scan long job descriptions for numbers, since that produces false positives from unrelated figures like founding years or headcounts.

What happens if I give a wrong Greenhouse or Ashby slug? That board returns one row with error set (e.g. Greenhouse board "typo" not found (HTTP 404)) instead of failing the whole run.

How current is the Hacker News data? Each run finds that month's live "Who is hiring?" thread via Algolia search and reads its comments fresh — there is no cached or delayed copy.

What are the limitations? We Work Remotely's RSS feed only carries its current front page (no historical pages), and RemoteOK's own salary fields are the site's self-reported figures, not verified. A failing feed still produces a row, with the reason in error.

Is this legal to run? Yes. RemoteOK's API, We Work Remotely's RSS feed, the Hacker News Algolia API and the Greenhouse/Ashby job-board APIs are all public, unauthenticated endpoints published for third-party consumption, and no personal data is collected.
