Remote Jobs Scraper: how to get remote jobs from RemoteOK, WWR and Jobicy as JSON/CSV (API, Python, no code)

Q: How do I use the Remote Jobs Scraper from Python?

Install the apify-client package, create a client with your Apify API token, call the Actor v0iddo/remote-jobs-scraper with an input like the one above, and read the rows from the run's dataset. The Python snippet above does exactly that.

Q: How do I limit the number of results?

Set the maxItems input field to the number of results you need; the run stops there, so it also caps the cost of one run. You can also set a maximum cost for a run in the run options on Apify, and the run stops when it is reached.

Scrape remote jobs from Remote OK, We Work Remotely, Jobicy, Working Nomads and Arbeitnow in one feed: title, company, location, eligible countries, salary, job type, level, tags, posted date and description. This guide shows the output fields, a working input, and Python, JavaScript and cURL code for the Actor v0iddo/remote-jobs-scraper on Apify.

Input example

This is the input that is pre-filled on the Actor page. Change the values for your own run.

{
  "keywords": [
    "engineer",
    "developer"
  ],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "maxJobsPerBoard": 6
}

Input field	Type	What it does
`keywords`	array	Job titles, skills or words such as python, designer or customer support.
`searchDescriptions`	boolean	Also keep jobs whose description holds a search term.
`excludeKeywords`	array	Drop jobs whose title holds any of these words, such as senior or intern.
`sources`	array	The boards to read, in this order.
`maxJobsPerBoard`	integer	Optional. Stop reading a board after this many kept jobs and go on to the next one, so the first board does not fill the whole run.
`locations`	array	Only jobs whose location or eligible countries name one of these, such as USA, Europe, Germany or Canada.
`includeWorldwide`	boolean	With locations set, also keep jobs open to people anywhere in the world.
`postedWithin`	string	Only jobs published in that period.
`salaryOnly`	boolean	Only jobs whose board gives a salary (Remote OK and Jobicy give one for about a quarter and a half of their jobs).
`includeDescription`	boolean	Return each job's description as plain text.
`maxItems`	integer	The run stops after this many result rows.

Code: Python, JavaScript and cURL

Get your API token in Apify Console under Settings, then Integrations. The Actor id is v0iddo/remote-jobs-scraper.

Python (apify-client)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {'keywords': ['engineer', 'developer'], 'maxItems': 20, 'maxJobsPerBoard': 6}

run = client.actor("v0iddo/remote-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript (apify-client)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const input = {
  "keywords": [
    "engineer",
    "developer"
  ],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "maxJobsPerBoard": 6
};

const run = await client.actor('v0iddo/remote-jobs-scraper').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/v0iddo~remote-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["engineer", "developer"], "maxItems": 20, "maxJobsPerBoard": 6}'

Price

$0.50 per 1,000 results. You pay per result row. There is no separate charge per run. Higher Apify plans pay less per result, down to $0.35 per 1,000. See the pricing tab for your plan. A new Apify account gets $5 of platform credit every month.

Good to know

One run reads every board you chose, about 4,000 jobs in all on a normal day: Remote OK's 100 newest plus 100 per search term, We Work Remotely's main and category feeds, Jobicy's last 7 days...
Rows come board by board in the order of Job boards, newest first within a board. A job with the same company and title as one already returned (the same job posted on two boards) is left out.
source and sourceName say which board the job comes from, and url is the job on that board. The boards ask that apps showing their jobs name them and link to the job there.
location is the board's own text (Anywhere in the World, USA, Europe ...); countries lists the eligible countries where We Work Remotely gives them; worldwide is true when the location says...
