Careerjet API vs Remote OK API for AI agents
Careerjet API is a job search API for Careerjet publishers who show Careerjet's job listings on their own sites. Remote OK API is a public JSON feed of the jobs posted on the Remote OK remote job board.
The short answer
- Careerjet API: Publishers who want to monetize traffic by showing Careerjet job listings to their own human visitors.
- 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
| Careerjet API | Remote OK API | |
|---|---|---|
| Searches | Careerjet's aggregated job listings, selected by a locale_code (language plus country, default en_GB). | Remote OK's own remote job board only. |
| Returns | Jobs with title, company, date, description excerpt, locations, salary (currency, min, max, type) and url; plus type, hits, pages and response_time. | 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 | A Careerjet Publisher account and one API key per publisher website (Basic auth); every call must send the end user's IP address and user agent. | Nothing: no key or sign-up. The feed at remoteok.com/api answers without one. |
| Free | Not stated on its pages | No key needed, and its pages state no price |
| Acting on a result | The url field example is a tracking link (https://jobviewtrack.com/v2/...), not a direct employer link. | Both url and apply_url point to the job page on remoteok.com, not to the employer. |
| Limits on keeping or showing results | Not stated on its pages | 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 |
