Remotive.com Scraper

Fetch remote job listings from Remotive.com. No API key required.

⚠️ Read "Upstream limitations" before using this scraper. Remotive's public API ignores its own category and keyword-search params, so this scraper cannot offer them. It returns Remotive's full current feed, which as of 2026-09-09 is 17 jobs.

---

Why this scraper?

• No auth needed — Remotive's public API requires no registration or API key
• 30 job categories listed — via categories mode (the category filter is dead upstream; see limitations)
• Rich job data — salary, location requirements, tags, company logo, full HTML description
• Global remote jobs — listings from companies worldwide with remote-friendly positions

Upstream limitations

Remotive's public API accepts these params but ignores them — verified 2026-09-09 by calling remotive.com/api/remote-jobs directly, using Remotive's own slugs from their /categories endpoint. This is a limit of their API, not of this scraper, so they are not offered:

• Category filter — ?category=software-development (their own slug) returns the identical full feed, 17/17 the same job ids as no filter at all.
• Keyword search — ?search=python returns the identical full feed, 17/17 the same ids.
• Upstream limit — also ignored. This scraper therefore applies limit itself, after fetching, so the parameter does work — but it truncates, it does not fetch more.

Feed size: Remotive's entire public API returned 17 jobs on 2026-09-09 (down from 42 in July 2026). The categories endpoint still lists 30 categories, but only ~9 have any jobs in the live feed. The jobs returned are genuine and fresh (newest 2.6 days old) — there are just very few of them. Use categories mode for the category list, and expect a small feed from browse.

Output fields (categories mode)

Field	Type	Description
id	integer	Category ID
name	string	Category display name
slug	string	Category slug (informational — the category filter is dead upstream)
