Adzuna API vs Remote OK API for AI agents
Adzuna API is a REST API from the Adzuna job search engine for searching its job ads plus salary and labour-market data. Remote OK API is a public JSON feed of the jobs posted on the Remote OK remote job board.
The short answer
- Adzuna API: Building a job board or labour-market tool with an aggregated, multi-country job feed plus salary data.
- Remote OK API: The simplest no-key feed of remote tech and startup jobs for a site that links back to Remote OK.
Side by side
| Adzuna API | Remote OK API | |
|---|---|---|
| Searches | Adzuna's aggregated job ads, queried per country via a two-letter code in the URL (docs examples use gb). | Remote OK's own remote job board only. |
| Returns | JSON results with id, title, a description snippet, company.display_name, location, category, salary_min/salary_max, salary_is_predicted, contract_type, created, latitude/longitude and redirect_url. | JSON array of jobs with id, slug, company, position, tags, location, salary_min, salary_max, url, apply_url, date, epoch, description and logo fields. |
| Before the first call | Register for an app_id and app_key, sent as query parameters on every call. | Nothing: no key or sign-up. The feed at remoteok.com/api answers without one. |
| Free | Default limits of 25 hits per minute, 250 per day, 1,000 per week and 2,500 per month; commercial use is permitted subject to a 14-day trial. | No key needed, and its pages state no price |
| Acting on a result | redirect_url; the documented examples point to adzuna.co.uk/jobs/land/ad/... (through Adzuna), not straight to the employer. | Both url and apply_url point to the job page on remoteok.com, not to the employer. |
| Limits on keeping or showing results | Each displayed ad must carry an 'Adzuna' label at least 116x23 px, linked to Adzuna; on termination all Adzuna data must be removed; after the trial a licence agreement may be required. | Must link back (followed, not nofollow) to the Remote OK URL and name Remote OK as source, or access is suspended; don't use the Remote OK logo without written permission. |
| Coverage | Not stated on its pages | Remote jobs; location is free text (e.g. 'Remote', 'US, UK, Canada, Australia + 35 other countries'). |
| MCP server | No official server listed | No official server listed |
