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.

@levelsio How often will the data be changed?
Matt Lea
Do you have any swagger docs on how the API is setup? Any SDKs? ( I may have missed a docs link somewhere) Thanks Pieter, as always great work

@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!
Michael Barton
@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!
Matt Lea
@levelsio Thanks. Out of professional curiosity where are you hosting everything?
Matt Lea
@michael_barton1 Cool, thanks!

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

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? 🙂
Kevin Bravo
@lordzouga Awesome !
Chris Macrae
Does this support any kind of filtering, Pieter?
Aditya Rao
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.
Kaushik Thirthappa
@adityarao310 @levelsio That would actually be helpful. Thank for releasing the API.

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. https://youtu.be/FSanKBmH7is

Wow - nice work as always Pieter!

@sammcallister Thanks Sam! Hope this is useful.

@levelsio what about that 80% coverage? what is not included?
levelsio
Maker
@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
Rik Nieu
Wow, just in time! I am about to start a new project aimed at remote workers. Thanks Piet!
Joshua Voydik
nice work, pietz
Anthony Lee
Very nice, I am implementing this in my niche job board.
Marius Fermi
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!

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?
Riley Tomasek
Not enough jobs. Less than 10 jobs in the last 30 days for most categories.
Mad Orc
do you think that applies to sites like this one, where employee-customer communication is necessary? https://piratebay-service.com/wo...

not working anymore?

I saw you closed the API for NomadList ): Is there a way we can come to terms on how it can be used effectively? I'm really interested~
Eric Berry
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!
chovy
Is it possible to get search results from your api? or rss feeds?
