Overview
Remotive Remote Jobs Scraper
Scrape remote jobs from Remotive.com by keyword, category, or job type, up to a million per run. Every listing comes with its title, company, salary, tags, and direct apply link. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Remotive's job board is one of the largest remote-only listings, but browsing it manually means missing new posts and losing hours to copy-paste. This Actor reads the public job feed directly, filters by keyword, category, or employment type, and returns each match in one fixed schema. It works for a single search or a full board sweep.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Remotive for |
|---|---|
| Job boards and aggregators | Which remote roles are newly listed across all categories |
| Recruiters and talent sourcers | Which companies are hiring for a specific skill right now |
| Market researchers | How remote job volume shifts by category over time |
| Job seekers | Which new listings match their exact keyword and job type |
What it does
This Actor collects remote job listings from Remotive.com by keyword, category, or job type, and returns each one as a flat row.
- 🔎 Keyword search: filter by job title or skill, like 'python' or 'senior'.
- 🗂️ Category filter: pick from 30 categories, from Software Development to Travel and Hospitality.
- ⏳ Job type filter: narrow to full time, part time, contract, freelance, or internship.
- 📦 Bulk export: pull up to 1,000,000 jobs per run for paid users, 10 for free preview.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.
What you can do with Remotive data
📈 Track remote hiring trends.
A market researcher runs the Actor daily for the 'artificial-intelligence' category and charts new listings to spot which companies are expanding AI teams.
🎯 Build a targeted job alert.
A job seeker sets the keyword to 'react' and job type to 'full_time', then exports the results to a spreadsheet to apply to every match.
🧲 Feed a job board.
An aggregator pulls all categories every hour and pipes the flat rows into their own site, keeping listings current without manual entry.
📊 Compare employer demand.
A recruiter scrapes 'devops' and 'data' categories side by side to see which skill has more open remote roles this month.

Configure the run
Drive the Actor from a keyword, a category, and a job type, alone or together, and filters run as each job is read so only matches reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.
A first run with the defaults:
{
"maxItems": 10
}
A larger pull:
{
"maxItems": 200
}

Run it
- Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
- Open the Remotive Remote Jobs Scraper.
- Set your inputs and any filters, then click Start.
- Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.
Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python.
Use with AI agents (MCP)
Give an AI agent live access to Remotive through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/remotive-scraper"
Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.
Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your filters. A keyword like 'python' combined with category 'design' may return nothing. Try clearing one filter or using a broader keyword.
Why did I only get 10 jobs?
Free runs are limited to 10 items as a preview. Upgrade to a paid plan and set maxItems higher to get more results.
Why is the run slow?
Large maxItems values take longer because the Actor pages through the board. Reduce maxItems or narrow your filters to speed it up.
Why are some fields empty?
Not every Remotive listing fills every field. Salary or tags may be missing for some jobs, which is normal.
Can I get results in a language other than English?
Remotive lists jobs in English. The Actor returns the data as-is, so non-English listings are rare.
