What is the Remote OK API?

Remote OK publishes its current job listings as a single JSON array with no API key. Each entry gives the company, position, tags, posting date, salary range where available and an apply URL — with the first element of the array carrying the terms of service rather than a job.

Remote OK is one of the longest-running remote work boards, and its feed is open on the explicit condition that you link back. That condition is not buried in a terms page — it is the literal first element of the response array, a legal notice object sitting where you might reasonably expect the first job. Iterating without checking will put a job card on your site whose title is undefined.

The `tags` array is the most useful field and also the most idiosyncratic. Tags mix technologies, seniority and function in one flat list, and they are applied loosely: the captured example tags a hotel front-office role with `golang`, which tells you not to treat them as a reliable filter on their own. `salary_min` and `salary_max` are present on a decent share of listings, which is rarer than it should be among job feeds. Descriptions arrive as HTML with some mojibake from upstream encoding, so sanitise before rendering.

Response fields

[0]object: Not a job. The first array element holds `last_updated` and a `legal` string setting out the link-back requirement. Skip it before iterating.
slug / idstring: URL slug and numeric id for the listing.
positionstring: Job title.
company / company_logostring: Employer name and logo URL. The logo is frequently an empty string.
tagsarray: Flat list mixing technology, seniority and function. Applied loosely — do not rely on them as a precise filter.
descriptionstring: Full job description as HTML. Contains upstream encoding artefacts, so sanitise before rendering.
date / epochstring / integer: Posting time as an ISO 8601 string and as Unix seconds.
locationstring: Geographic restriction on the remote role, such as a region or `Worldwide`.
salary_min / salary_maxinteger: Annual salary range in USD, where the employer supplied one.
url / apply_urlstring: The Remote OK listing page and the direct application link. Link back to `url` to satisfy the terms.

Common errors and how to fix them

First job has no title

Element zero is the legal notice, not a listing.

Fix: Skip the first element, or filter for objects that have a `position` field, before rendering.

API access suspended

The terms require a followed link back to Remote OK.

Fix: Add a normal, non-nofollow link to each job's Remote OK `url` and credit them by name.

Garbled characters in descriptions

Upstream encoding artefacts appear in the HTML.

Fix: Normalise the text and sanitise the markup before rendering. Mojibake such as `â` in place of an apostrophe is common.

Irrelevant tags

Tagging is loose and automated.

Fix: Match on `position` and `description` as well as tags if precision matters.

Remote OK API — frequently asked questions

Is the Remote OK API free?

Yes, with no key, but not unconditionally. Their terms require a followed link back to the job on Remote OK and a credit, and they state that access will be suspended otherwise.

Why is the first item not a job?

Element zero is a legal notice object carrying `last_updated` and the terms of service. Skip it before iterating or you will render an empty job card.

Are salary figures reliable?

`salary_min` and `salary_max` are USD annual figures supplied by the employer, and they are present on a good share of listings — but not all, and they are not verified.

Can I filter the feed?

The documented behaviour is a full snapshot with no filtering, so filter client-side. Fetch a few times a day and diff against what you already have.
