Remote OK Jobs API - The biggest API feed of remote jobs on the web 👩‍💻🛠

@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.

@levelsio How often will the data be changed?

@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!

@levelsio Thanks. Out of professional curiosity where are you hosting everything?

@michael_barton1 Cool, thanks!

@schematical I think he's using Linode (source: https://levels.io/how-i-build-my...)

@lordzouga Awesome !

@chrisdmacrae Looks like https://remoteok.io/api?tags=dig... works

@chrisdmacrae @benjam1n Smart man :)

@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.

@adityarao310 @levelsio That would actually be helpful. Thank for releasing the API.

@sammcallister Thanks Sam! Hope this is useful.

@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

@riknieu Enjoy RIk!
