Build/Jobs
◐Jobs Namespace

Build a remote-jobs business.
Skip the scraper.

The Jobs namespace is a live proxy to Remotive's free remote-jobs API — 11 categories, updated daily. We're honest about what this is: not owned data, not exclusive. The value is that we handle the polling, caching, HTML-cleanup, and rate limits so you don't have to build that layer yourself. The business opportunity here is curation, UX, and distribution — not the data.

The opportunity

Real numbers. No projections inflated to impress — this is a thin-data-moat namespace, and the copy says so.

11
Job categories proxied from Remotive
Software dev, design, data, marketing, finance & legal, and more
$0
Upstream cost — Remotive is free, no API key needed
We absorb caching/infra so you don't have to build it
26
Endpoints: listings, search, salary tools, resume scoring, and more
Broad hiring toolkit — listings, career data, and document generation in one namespace
$19
Starter plan covers most niche job-board traffic
Under 10K calls/month for typical polling patterns

3 businesses you can build this month

Each one is a complete business, not a demo. Revenue estimates are deliberately modest — the underlying job listing data isn't exclusive, so the math reflects that honestly. These are illustrative estimates based on stated assumptions, not guarantees of revenue.

General job boards drown a specific stack in noise. RemoteReact filters the software-dev category down to React-only roles using keyword search, then re-publishes them on a clean, fast site with email alerts. The moat isn't the listings — anyone can hit Remotive directly — it's the curation, the niche audience, and showing up in Google for 'remote react jobs' instead of competing with LinkedIn.

Pricing Model
$5/month for instant alerts (free tier shows listings with a 24h delay)

Revenue Math

120 × $5 = $600. Niche job boards (e.g. Vuejobs-style sites) typically convert 1–3% of monthly visitors to paid alerts — realistic only after consistent SEO traffic and a real subscriber list, not on day one.

Endpoints Used
/jobs/remote
/jobs/categories
APlicious Cost
$19 (Starter plan — low daily polling volume, well under 10K calls/mo)
~4 calls/day (polling for new listings + search refinement)

Both endpoints

A live proxy to Remotive, not owned data. We handle polling, caching, and HTML cleanup so you get clean JSON instead of building your own integration against the upstream API.

Starter code — RemoteReact

One call, keyword-filtered to a single stack. This is the entire backend for a niche job board.

remotereact.ts
// RemoteReact — Niche Remote Job Board
// Built with APlicious Jobs namespace
// Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key from aplicious.com/dashboard

const API_BASE = "https://aplicious.com/api/v1";
const API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY";

async function getReactJobs(limit = 25) {
  const res = await fetch(
    `${API_BASE}/jobs/remote?category=software-dev&search=react&limit=${limit}`,
    { headers: { "x-api-key": API_KEY } }
  );
  const { data } = await res.json();

  return data.jobs.map((job: { title: string; company: string; url: string; salary: string }) => ({
    title: job.title,
    company: job.company,
    url: job.url,
    salary: job.salary,
  }));
}

// Example output:
// [
//   { title: "Senior React Engineer", company: "Acme Inc", url: "https://remotive.com/...", salary: "" },
//   { title: "React Native Developer", company: "Globex", url: "https://remotive.com/...", salary: "$90K - $120K" }
// ]
