Remote OK Jobs API — The biggest API feed of remote jobs on the web 👩💻🛠
Remote OK is the #1 remote-only jobs board on the web.
It has over 30,000+ remote job listings, adding new ones every day.
With this API, now you can build apps with our data feed which covers 80% of remote jobs on the web.

@neuling2k I mean the 80% is an estimate of the coverage of remote jobs we have. That means most remote jobs on the web are available from Remote OK
Using it on https://workfromhomejobs.me but it looks like it hasn't been working for the past few weeks at least.
Did you make changes to it?
Hi - this is great, and can be super useful to build upon! Quick question - is the date key when job went live on the source site or remoteok? And do you consider updates on the source site in any way?
@adityarao310 Thanks Aditya! On Remote OK! Yep, I'm considering adding "job is closed" for example to make it easier for recruiters to signal they've filled a role.
Nice job Pieter. 2 Questions -
1. How is it gonna help you ?
2. Are you gonna be closing it if someone builds replica of Remote OK just like they did it with NomadList ?
@deadcoder0904 Great questions! No. Remote OK has had a public RSS feed for years now. Now I've built this full API firehose in JSON.
The goal here is increasing the amounts of applicants a remote job gets so that the company can recruit from a bigger pool of hiring talent. By increasing distribution (through this API), hopefully that goal is reached.
So opposite of the Nomad List API: the more people use this, the more valuable a Remote OK job post will be for companies that are hiring remote workers.
@deadcoder0904 @levelsio So companies will be actually posting a job offer on all the sites that use the Remote OK API just by posting the job offer on remoteok.io... smart!
@deadcoder0904 @mauriciob91 That's right! Higher distribution means more applicants. Long term I could also pay the participating sites if they help forward the hired applicant!
@deadcoder0904 @tcodinat Exactly. I keep track of that through HTTP Referrers (yep they still work if it's both HTTPS), but will improve on that later.
Hi @levelsio
I would like to integrate your jobs into CodeFund Jobs (https://codefund.app/jobs). Would this be ok to do? Also, based on your current API (I can't find any docs anywhere), we can only get a small snippet of the job description. Is this by design or is there an additional endpoint that has more data?
Thanks!
I had an attempt at building a remote jobs board over the last year or so due to 7+ years of working remotely myself I wanted to help. RemoteOK does what I wanted to do and then some. That being said as Pieter has said in a previous comment, the API allows others to do awesome things around the board, adding value all round. Think it's time I regroup and reconsider how I can help the remote community as well as introduce the grand opportunity of remote work to others with this great API. Very well done!
@schematical Yep, I'll add docs in 24h. I wanted to get this out to the world as soon as it was working so everyone could start using it!
@schematical I had the same question because it looks like the api is just slug/id/epoch/date/company/position/tags/logo/description/url for each job description with no way to search or narrow down the returned list. I look forward to the docs and integrating it into a project!
@schematical I think he's using Linode (source: https://levels.io/how-i-build-my...)
Hello Guys. I'm from Brazil and found remote ok recently, and I did like it. Then I decided do an iOS app using the remoteok.io.json. Now, I'm finishing the app. It isn't finished I finished approximately 85% some things are missing yet. I would like to know if I can send to app store and publish the app. If you can see the app demo, I share on my youtube account.

Hi Pieter, already have a chrome extension called Remoteable using the API here https://chrome.google.com/websto... Maybe check it out and give your blessing? 🙂
