Upspy - Upwork Jobs Scraper

The Upwork jobs scraper that exports recent postings as clean, structured data — full job details, screening questions, and the client's complete history on every job. Filter by keywords, budget, and client quality, and get back a tidy dataset ready for spreadsheets, analysis, lead generation, or your own pipeline.

No browser automation against Upwork, no login, no ToS roulette: this actor reads from Upspy's continuously-updated feed of the Upwork posting stream, so runs are fast and don't get blocked.

What it scrapes, on every job

• Job details — title, full description, URL, posting time, job type (hourly/fixed), budget & rate range, contract type, duration, experience level, connects required
• Classification — skills/tags, category and sub-category
• Screening questions — the exact questions the client asks applicants
• Client history — country, payment-verified status, total spent, jobs posted, hires, hire rate, rating, review count, average hourly paid, and Upwork's client rank

Full job + client record — every fact we have, not a summary. Honest nulls: every item has the same fields; anything the posting did not declare is null, never guessed.

Setup — none

Just run it. No account, no key, no card on our side — the actor is pre-configured, and you pay Apify only for what you use.

Advanced (optional): paste your own Upspy API key (app.upspy.ai → Settings → Developer) into the input to run against your own Upspy account instead of the built-in one.

Inputs

Every input is optional — an untouched control adds no constraint. These are the same filters the Upspy app offers, run through the same matcher.

Keywords — three independent fields, ORed together (a job matches if any field with terms in it matches). Within a field, pick Any (OR) or All (AND).

FAQ

Does this log into Upwork or scrape their site directly? No. It reads Upspy's own feed of the Upwork posting stream, so there's no login, no CAPTCHA, and no risk of your run being blocked.

Do I need an Upwork or Upspy account? No. The actor is pre-configured and works out of the box. An Upspy key is an optional advanced input only.

How fresh are the jobs? Recent by design — choose how far back to look with Posted within (hours), up to 45 days.

Why are some fields null? Because the client didn't state them on the posting. We never guess; a missing value stays null so your data stays honest.

Can I get jobs the moment they post instead of pulling them? Yes — that's the Upspy product itself (see below).

Scraper vs. alerts

This actor pulls recent jobs — ideal for datasets, analysis, spreadsheets and pipelines. If you want jobs pushed to you the moment they post — WhatsApp, Slack, or your own webhook, while the proposal window is still open — that is the Upspy product itself: start free.
