Remotive Jobs Scraper – Salaries & Filters

Export the current public Remotive remote-job feed across 30 categories. Filter by keyword, company, location, category, job type, disclosed salary, or publication window, and receive clean descriptions, salary structure, seniority hints, tags, monitoring-ready IDs, and canonical Remotive links.

Use this Actor for remote hiring intelligence, job alerts, talent-market research, salary analysis, lead generation, newsletters, job boards, spreadsheets, APIs, MCP tools, and AI workflows. Results are available as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or through the Apify Dataset API.

At a glance

• 30 Remotive categories: software, AI, data, design, marketing, sales, support, finance, HR, QA, operations, legal, medical, education, and more.
• Full-record keyword matching: search title, company, category, job type, location, salary, tags, and description—not only the upstream title/description search.
• Salary-ready output: keep original salary text and get parsed minimum, maximum, currency, and period when the text supports them.
• Monitoring controls: use inclusive publication dates, listing age, stable job IDs, and canonical URLs for scheduled workflows.
• Reliable upstream handling: retries temporary network, rate-limit, and server failures; detects malformed or changed API responses; records a RUN_SUMMARY.
• Backward compatible: existing inputs and output fields remain available; all new controls and fields are additive.

What can it do?

Remotive Jobs Scraper converts the current public Remotive feed into analysis-ready job rows. It validates the source response, applies every selected filter consistently, keeps source links for attribution, stores one row per matching job, and reports whether an empty dataset was a legitimate filtered search or a failed source request.

Common workflows

• Track fresh remote roles by skill, category, job type, or region.
• Find companies actively hiring remotely for recruiting or sales research.
• Build salary-transparency datasets from listings with disclosed compensation.
• Feed job newsletters, alerts, dashboards, CRMs, ATS tools, or job boards.
• Compare demand for skills, seniority levels, functions, and locations over time.
• Schedule recurring runs and deduplicate downstream by id or url.

Run summary and empty results

Every completed request writes RUN_SUMMARY to the default key-value store. It includes upstream and saved counts, malformed/duplicate/filter counts, and status:

• SUCCEEDED: one or more rows were saved.
• EMPTY_FILTERED: the upstream feed was valid, but no current listing matched all filters. This is a successful empty search, not an upstream failure.
• FAILED: input, network, rate-limit, schema, storage, or billing processing failed. The Actor run also fails instead of reporting a misleading green empty result.

Accuracy and salary notes

• Salary parsing is best effort. A listing can mix currencies, periods, approximate values, or prose that cannot be normalized safely; original salary text is always retained.
• minimumSalary compares the parsed number in the listing's own period. Do not mix hourly and annual listings in one numeric comparison unless your downstream workflow normalizes periods.
• seniority is an additive title/tag-derived hint, not an employer-certified level.
• Fields can be empty when the employer did not publish them.

Source limits and attribution

This Actor reads Remotive's official public remote-jobs API. Remotive states that public API jobs are delayed by 24 hours, advises no more than four fetches per day, and may block excessive traffic above two requests per minute. The Actor performs one feed request per run and retries temporary limits with backoff, but schedules should still respect those limits.

Remotive also requires downstream displays to link to the supplied Remotive URL and identify Remotive as the source. Keep sourceUrl when republishing permitted data and review the official Remotive API terms and documentation.

MCP and AI agents

Use the Actor through the official Apify MCP server:

claude mcp add apify --transport http https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch_cat/remotive-jobs-scraper

{
  "mcpServers": {

Example prompts:

• "Export current Remotive software jobs that accept candidates in Europe."
• "Find Remotive jobs with disclosed annual salary and Python in any field."
• "Return Remotive contract roles published since July 1, with clean descriptions."

Use the same JSON keys shown in the input table. Agent-readable input, output, and dataset schemas are included in the published Actor build.

Support

If a run fails, returns an unexpected empty dataset, or a field looks wrong, open an issue from the Actor page. Include the run ID or URL, input JSON, one reproducible public URL or search, expected output, actual output, and RUN_SUMMARY.

Privacy and responsible use

This Actor processes public Remotive job listings and stores results in your Apify run storage. FetchCat does not use inputs or outputs for advertising or model training and does not retain them outside Apify run storage except when you explicitly share details for support. Use the Actor lawfully, comply with Remotive's API terms and attribution requirements, preserve canonical source links when required, and avoid unnecessary personal or sensitive data.
