RemoteOK Job Scraper

Extracts remote job listings from RemoteOK.com using its official JSON API. This Apify actor provides reliable, structured data with configurable filtering.

Overview

This actor scrapes job postings from RemoteOK, the largest remote job board. It pulls detailed information—titles, companies, locations, salaries, job types, and descriptions—directly from the site's API. It's built for performance and includes measures to handle rate limiting.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Data: Extracts job titles, companies, URLs, locations, salaries, tags, posting dates, and full descriptions.
• Advanced Filtering: Filter by keyword, location, and posting date (today, week, month, all).
• High Performance: Uses the native JSON API for fast and reliable data collection.
• Built for Scale: Configurable job limits and optional proxy support (including Apify Proxy) for large-scale runs.
• Anti-Bot Measures: Includes handling for access restrictions and rate limiting.

How to Use

Configure the actor using input parameters. The main filters are:

• keyword: Search term for titles, companies, descriptions, and tags (e.g., "python developer").
• location: Geographic filter, case-insensitive with partial matching (e.g., "Europe" or "Remote").
• dateFilter: Limit to jobs from "today", "week", "month", or "all".
• maxJobs: Set the maximum number of listings to collect (default: 200).
• proxyConfiguration: Use {"useApifyProxy": true} for enhanced reliability.

Run the actor with your parameters. It will output structured JSON data to the dataset.
