How do I scrape freelancermap.de?

1. Paste search URLs — any freelancermap.de freelancer search or directory page (URLs whose path starts with /freelancer, e.g. /freelancer?query=... or /freelancer-verzeichnis.html). You can also paste direct profile URLs (/profil/...) to scrape specific freelancers. Other page types are not supported.
2. Set the page range — startPage → endPage (20 profiles per page; applies to search URLs only).
3. Click Start — proxies, retries, and parsing handled for you.

// Example input — basic scrape (no login)
{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.freelancermap.de/freelancer-verzeichnis.html?group=informatik",
        "https://www.freelancermap.de/freelancer?query=Python&countries[]=1"
    ],
    "startPage": 1,
    "endPage": 5,
    "maxItems": 100
}

Both plain strings and { "url": "..." } objects are accepted in startUrls.

How do I get freelancers' email addresses and phone numbers?

To extract email and phone, set includeContactDetails: true and provide your freelancermap account. Both fields are fetched from the same contact modal in a single action.

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.freelancermap.de/freelancer-verzeichnis.html?group=informatik"
    ],
    "startPage": 1,
    "endPage": 3,
    "includeContactDetails": true,
    "email": "your@email.com",
    "password": "yourpassword"
}

[!NOTE] Contact details are gated by freelancermap's daily view limit (set by your account plan). When the limit is reached, the contact button is disabled and those fields are left empty — the Actor continues with the rest of the data.

[!NOTE] If login fails (e.g. wrong credentials), the Actor retries up to 3 times and then stops the run.

What data can you extract from freelancermap?

Each item is one freelancer profile. Fields missing from a profile are returned as empty strings/arrays; verified is "Not Verified" when the badge is absent.

How much does it cost to scrape freelancermap?

The Actor runs on the Apify platform — see the Pricing tab on this page for the current rate, and check Apify's free tier to try it at no cost. Costs scale with the number of profiles scraped, so use maxItems and a small page range to control spend. A test run with maxItems: 5 tells you the per-profile cost before you commit to a large scrape.

Who is Freelancermap Scraper for?

Tips for best results

• Use German residential proxies — apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"] with countryCode: "DE" for best reliability (not enabled by default).
• Test with a small range first — set endPage: 1 and maxItems: 5 to verify your search URL and credentials before a big run.
• Being blocked or pages loading slowly? — increase pageDelay to slow the crawl down.

Is there a freelancermap API?

freelancermap.de doesn't offer a public API — this Actor works as an unofficial freelancermap API. Every run produces a structured dataset you can pull as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML via the Apify API, on a schedule or on demand, straight from your own code or no-code tools.

Integrations

Connect the results to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, or any webhook using Apify integrations — no code required. Developers can use the Apify SDK for JavaScript or Python to trigger runs and fetch datasets programmatically.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape freelancermap.de?

The Actor collects data that freelancers have published on their public profiles (contact details additionally require your own logged-in account, same as viewing them manually). You are responsible for using the data in line with freelancermap's Terms of Service, GDPR, and applicable law — especially for outreach, where GDPR's legitimate-interest rules apply.

Can I get email addresses and phone numbers?

Yes — enable includeContactDetails and provide your freelancermap account credentials. Note that freelancermap caps how many contact details you can view per day based on your account plan; past the cap those fields come back empty while the rest of the profile is still scraped.

Can I scrape a specific freelancer profile?

Yes — paste the profile's URL (e.g. https://www.freelancermap.de/profil/123456-max-mustermann.html) into startUrls, alone or mixed with search URLs. Profile URLs are scraped directly; the startPage/endPage range only applies to search URLs.

How many profiles can I scrape per run?

Each search results page holds up to 20 profiles, and you choose the page range with startPage/endPage. Use maxItems to cap the total. There's no hard limit on profile data itself; only contact details are subject to your account's daily view limit.

How do I export freelancermap data to Excel or Google Sheets?

After a run finishes, open the Storage tab and download the dataset as Excel, CSV, JSON, or XML — or connect the Google Sheets integration to push new results into a spreadsheet automatically after every run.

Why are some fields empty?

Freelancers fill out their profiles to different degrees. Any section a freelancer left blank is returned as an empty string or array, so your spreadsheet columns stay consistent across all rows.
