RemoteOK [Just 💰$1] — Remote Jobs, Tags & Salaries

What does RemoteOK do?

RemoteOK extracts structured job data from remoteok.com — including salary data, apply URLs, company metadata, and full descriptions. It supports location filters and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions and company metadata) where the source provides them.

Key features

• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + notifyOnlyChanges for daily "new Remoteok jobs" pings to your hiring channel.
• 📧 Email + phone extraction — best-effort regex extraction of contact emails and phone numbers from the listing description. Populated only when the source listing exposes the data — many listings hide contact info behind apply-flows, so null/empty is normal. Both extractedEmails and extractedPhones are arrays; an empty array means the page was scanned but nothing matched, while null means the extraction step was skipped.
• 🔗 URL + social-profile extraction — every record carries extractedUrls[] and structured socialProfiles { linkedin, twitter, github, … } parsed from the description — useful when employers drop their careers page or recruiter LinkedIn in-line.
• 📦 Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly compact payloads with core fields only — pipe straight into your ATS, salary-benchmarking tool, or LLM context without parsing extras.
• ✂️ Description truncation — cap description length with descriptionMaxLength to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size — set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim.
• 📌 Change classification — each record carries a changeType of NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / REAPPEARED / EXPIRED. Default emits NEW + UPDATED + REAPPEARED; opt into the others with emitUnchanged / emitExpired. Repost detection flags previously-expired listings that come back.
• ♻️ Incremental mode — recurring runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records — UNCHANGED and EXPIRED are opt-in. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit and charge only for the diff. Pair with notifications for daily "new jobs" alerts to your hiring team. Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.
• 📤 Export anywhere — Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console, or stream live via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, n8n, …).
• 🔌 MCP connectors — export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.

What data can you extract from RemoteOK?

Each result includes Core job fields (jobId, title, location, tags, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryText, and url, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description), apply information (applyUrl), and company metadata (company). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and company metadata where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are an optional location filter and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• tag — Filter by skill or technology tag, e.g. "javascript", "python", "devops", "react". Leave blank for all recent remote jobs.
• location — Filter jobs by geographic restriction, e.g. "usa", "europe", "worldwide". Note: many remote jobs have no location restriction.
• company — Filter jobs by company name, e.g. "github", "stripe". Leave blank for all companies.
• maxResults — Maximum number of jobs to return (0 = all available, up to ~96 most recent). (default: 25)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate job description HTML to N characters. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Return core fields only (jobId, title, company, location, tags, salaryText, applyUrl, url, postedDate). Ideal for AI-agent and MCP workflows. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Only emit jobs not seen in a previous run. Tracks state per stateKey. Ideal for daily schedulers — avoids duplicate processing. (default: false)
• stateKey — Scope key for incremental state. Defaults to a hash of tag+location+company. Override when running multiple schedules against the same filters.
• emitUnchanged — Also emit jobs that have not changed since the last run. (default: false)
• emitExpired — Also emit jobs that have disappeared since the last run. (default: false)
• skipReposts — When incremental, skip jobs whose content matches a previously expired job. (default: false)
• telegramToken — Telegram bot token (from @BotFather). Required for Telegram notifications.
• ...and 17 more parameters

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape RemoteOK?

RemoteOK uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Per result: $0.001 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.015
• 25 results: $0.03
• 100 results: $0.11
• 200 results: $0.21
• 200 results: $0.21

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of jobs that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 jobs per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of jobs.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.11	$0.01	$0.10 (90%)	$0.30
15% — moderate broad query	$0.11	$0.02	$0.09 (81%)	$0.60
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.11	$0.03	$0.07 (67%)	$1.05

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $3.15. First month with incremental costs $0.40 / $0.68 / $1.12 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.
