Freelancermap Freelancer Profile Scraper

Scrapes freelancer profiles from freelancermap.de search result pages. For each profile the actor extracts publicly available data (name, title, location, rates, skills, languages, project history, certificates) and — when a valid account is provided — the contact details (email and phone number).

How to use

1. Basic scrape (no login required)

Provide a freelancermap.de search URL and set the page range to scrape.

Input:

{
    "startUrl": "https://www.freelancermap.de/freelancer-verzeichnis.html?group=informatik",
    "startPage": 1,
    "endPage": 5
}

2. Scrape with contact details (login required)

To extract email addresses and phone numbers, provide your freelancermap.de account credentials and enable the relevant toggles.

Input:

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

Note: Contact details are gated by freelancermap.de's account plan. The actor respects the platform's daily view limits. If the limit is reached, the contact button will be disabled and those fields will be left empty.

3. Limit total results

Use maxItems to cap the number of profiles scraped — useful for testing or cost control.

{
    "startUrl": "https://www.freelancermap.de/freelancer-verzeichnis.html",
    "startPage": 1,
    "endPage": 10,
    "maxItems": 50
}

Input reference

Tips

• Proxy: Use Apify Residential proxies with countryCode: "DE" for the best reliability.
• Concurrency: Keep maxConcurrency at 1 when using login-based scraping to prevent session conflicts across browser instances.
• Pagination: Each results page contains up to 20 profiles. To scrape 100 profiles set startPage: 1, endPage: 5.
• Rate limits: freelancermap.de limits how many contact profiles you can view per day based on your subscription tier. The actor handles disabled contact buttons gracefully and continues scraping the remaining data.
