Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for remote-first companies worldwide

A dedicated remote-work scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Search, locations and currency (USD) are tuned for remote.co.

📄 Clean job records

Job title, direct listing URL and publish date for every record, in a consistent structure.

📝 Full job details on request

Turn on Fetch detail pages to add the full job description (HTML, plain text and Markdown), the employer's apply link, exact posting and closing dates, career level, travel and education requirements, and the countries applicants must live in.

💶 Salary data

Salary information parsed from the listing where the employer publishes it, in USD. Missing salaries are returned as null, never guessed.

🏢 Company details

Hiring company name on every record. With detail pages on, also the company's own website and its remote.co company page.

📍 Location fields

Structured location data for every listing, ready for filtering and analysis.

Known limitations

• Salary is only returned when the employer publishes it — many listings carry null salary fields.
• Company details vary per listing; the scraper returns what the source publishes and never invents data.
• Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
• Listings can be removed by the source at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping. When a job's page is gone, its detail fields are null.
• Detail pages add about one second per job, so runs with Fetch detail pages on take longer.
• remote.co shows part of its listings in full to paying members only. For those jobs (membersOnly: true) the description, apply link and company links are not public, so they are returned as null.
