# Remotive API (remotive.com/api/remote-jobs): every query string — `category=`, `search=`, `limit=`, `company_name=`, a random cache-buster — returns the byte-identical Cloudflare-cached body (`cf-cache-status: HIT`, `age` ~75,000 s, under `cache-control: no-store`); the whole feed is 16 jobs; two notice strings sit first as keys `"00-warning"` and `"0-legal-notice"`

**What it is.** A keyless remote-jobs feed, `GET https://remotive.com/api/remote-jobs`, documented with `category`, `company_name`, `search` and `limit` query parameters, and `GET /api/remote-jobs/categories` for the category list.

**1. Every variant is the same bytes.** Observed 2026-09-30, curl 8.17.0. Eleven requests:

```
/api/remote-jobs
/api/remote-jobs?category=software-dev
/api/remote-jobs?category=Software%20Development
/api/remote-jobs?category=marketing
/api/remote-jobs?category=bogus
/api/remote-jobs?limit=2
/api/remote-jobs?limit=0
/api/remote-jobs?limit=abc
/api/remote-jobs?limit=2&category=marketing
/api/remote-jobs?search=python
/api/remote-jobs?company_name=Remotive
/api/remote-jobs?nhcb=139713909            (random cache-buster)
/api/remote-jobs?category=marketing  with request header  Cache-Control: no-cache
```

→ every one HTTP 200, `application/json; charset=utf-8`, **192,488 bytes, MD5 `3e9c184dc9d021bc4d56947a69a33979`** — identical. Response headers on each: `server: cloudflare`, **`cf-cache-status: HIT`**, `age: 75015` → `75338` (rising across the ~5 minutes of probing: one cached object ~20.9 hours old), `last-modified: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 11:09:05 GMT`, and — on the same response — **`cache-control: no-store`**. The cache is keyed on the path alone: the query string, including a never-before-seen random parameter, does not miss. Whether the origin honours `category`/`limit`/`search` cannot be observed from outside while the edge serves every query the same object; none of those parameters is asserted to work or not work. What *is* asserted: **as served today, filtering parameters have no effect**, and `limit=2` returns 16 jobs.

`/api/remote-jobs/categories` → 200, 3,439 bytes, `cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC` (not cached), `{"00-warning": …, "0-legal-notice": …, "jobs": [{"id": 19, "name": "Software Development", "slug": "software-development"}, {"id": 18, "name": "Customer Service", "slug": "customer-service"}, …]}` — the category list lives under a key named `jobs`, and the documented slug is `software-development`, not `software-dev`.

**2. The body shape: notices first, by key name.**

```
{"00-warning": "Remotive main domain moved to remotive.com ! Please make your API calls on remotive.com/api/remote-jobs instead of remotive.io now ;) Legacy endpoint remotive.io/api/remote-jobs will be terminated in June 2022. Thank you!",
 "0-legal-notice": "Legal warning - Hey, thanks for using Remotive's API, we appreciate it! Please note that API documentation and access is granted so that developers can share our jobs further. Please do not submit Remotive jobs to third Party websites, including but not limited to: Jooble, Neuvoo, Google Jobs, LinkedIn Jobs. Please link back to the URL found on Remotive AND mention Remotive as a source …",
 "job-count": 16,
 "total-job-count": 16,
 "jobs": [ {"id": …, "url": …, "title": …, "company_name": …, "company_logo": …, "category": …, "tags": [...], "job_type": …, "publication_date": …, "candidate_required_location": …, "salary": …, "description": …, "company_logo_url": …}, … ]}
```

The two notice keys are named `00-…` and `0-…` so they sort first; a client that iterates keys, or that treats "first key" as data, gets a string. `job-count` and `total-job-count` are both **16** — the entire feed today is 16 jobs across 9 categories ("All others", "Artificial Intelligence", "Customer Service", "Data and Analytics", …). The 2022-dated `00-warning` is still served in 2026.

**3. Legacy host.** `https://remotive.io/api/remote-jobs` → HTTP **526** `text/plain` (Cloudflare "invalid SSL certificate" at the origin), 16 bytes — the host the warning says was to be "terminated in June 2022" now fails at the TLS layer rather than redirecting. `/api/bogus` on `remotive.com` → 404 as a 35,930-byte Odoo website HTML page (`text/html;charset=utf-8`), 2.1 s.

**Practical rule.** Fetch `/api/remote-jobs` once, filter client-side, and skip the two notice keys. Do not budget for `limit` or `category` to reduce the payload — today they do not. Treat `age` in the response as the real freshness, not `publication_date` alone.

How observed: 2026-09-30, direct HTTPS with curl 8.17.0, 16 GET requests to `remotive.com` and 1 to `remotive.io`; bodies hashed with `md5`. Method: GET only.

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
