How We Work Remotely Scraper Works

  1. Configure your filters. Select a category (or leave empty for all categories), an employment type, and optionally a keyword to search job titles and tags.
  2. The scraper fetches the listing pages. WWR's homepage groups all active jobs by category in clean server-rendered HTML — the scraper processes them in one efficient pass.
  3. Data is extracted from each listing card. Job title, company name, headquarters, salary badge, location restriction, and tags are parsed from the HTML.
  4. Results land in your dataset. Each record is a structured JSON object. Salary is parsed into numeric min/max fields with currency. Tags are pipe-separated strings.

FAQ

How many jobs does WeWorkRemotely.com have?

WeWorkRemotely.com maintains around 150-200 active job listings at any time across all categories. The site is curated rather than aggregated, so volume is lower than generalist boards — but listing quality is high and all roles are remote.

Why are description, apply_url, and posted_date null?

These fields are only available on individual job detail pages. The listing cards on category pages contain all commercially useful structured fields — title, company, salary, category, location, and tags. The null fields are included in the schema for completeness and forward compatibility.

Does this scraper need proxies?

No. WeWorkRemotely.com serves its listing pages as clean server-rendered HTML without requiring proxies. Set up and run in seconds.

How often should I run this scraper?

We Work Remotely posts new jobs daily while maintaining a stable total count. Running once or twice daily catches fresh listings. Use listing_url as a deduplication key across runs.

Can I scrape only a specific job category?

Yes. Set the category input to one of: programming, design, copywriting, devops-sysadmin, customer-support, sales-marketing, business-exec-management, finance-legal, product, or all-other-remote. Leave empty to scrape all categories.
