## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Codeur.com Freelance Projects Scraper (France)

Scrape the freelance projects that clients post on [Codeur.com](https://www.codeur.com), France's leading freelance marketplace, and get clean structured data: budget, category, wanted profiles, number of offers and full brief, ideal for a daily lead alert in Slack, e-mail or your CRM.

### What you can do with it

- **Never miss a lead**: schedule a daily run with "Published within 1 day" and your keywords, and send new projects to Slack, e-mail or your CRM.
- **Size the demand**: which services French businesses ask for, at which budgets.
- **Price your offer**: budgets and number of competing offers per type of project.
- **Spot trends**: technologies and profiles that clients request more and more.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Keywords | Words that must all appear in the title, category, wanted profiles or brief. Accents and case are ignored. |
| Published within (days) | Keep only recent projects. Use `1` for a daily alert. |
| Only open projects | Skip closed projects. |
| Maximum number of projects | The run stops once this many projects are saved. |
| Include the full brief | Adds the client's full description. |

### Output

One record per project:

```json
{
  "id": 490600,
  "url": "https://www.codeur.com/projects/490600-ui-ux-designer-pour-app-mobile-et-web-de-gestion-de-chantier-btp",
  "title": "UI/UX Designer pour app mobile et web de gestion de chantier BTP",
  "status": "Ouvert",
  "budget": "500 € à 1 000 €",
  "offersCount": 32,
  "viewsCount": 2009,
  "category": "Application mobile",
  "profilesWanted": ["Développeur mobile freelance", "UI/UX designer freelance", "Web designer freelance"],
  "publishedAt": "2026-10-01T14:47",
  "description": "Nous recherchons un(e) UI/UX Designer freelance pour réaliser les maquettes Figma…"
}
```

`publishedAt` is in Paris time. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

### Good to know

- Projects come newest first, so a daily run is fast and cheap.
- Only projects that Codeur.com shows publicly are collected; members-only projects are skipped.
- The client's identity is hidden by Codeur.com to visitors and is never collected.
- No browser and no proxy needed.

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$5.00 per 1,000 postings**, plus $0.00005 per run start. For example, 100 postings cost about $0.50. You only pay for the postings you receive, and platform usage is included in that price.

### Run it from your code

JavaScript:

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('bibian/codeur-projects-scraper').call({
  keywords: 'wordpress',
  publishedWithinDays: 14,
  onlyOpen: true,
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
```

Python:

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("bibian/codeur-projects-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keywords": "wordpress",
    "publishedWithinDays": 14,
    "onlyOpen": True,
    "maxItems": 50
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
```

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need an account, cookies or a proxy for Codeur.com?** No. The actor reads publicly visible pages only.

**How do I get only the new postings every day?** Save a task, set its publication date filter to the shortest window, and schedule it daily with Apify Schedules. Deduplicate on the `id` field if you keep your own copy.

**Which formats can I export?** JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS, from the dataset page or through the API.

**Can I connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets?** Yes, through Apify integrations and webhooks.

**Is it legal to scrape?** The actor collects publicly visible postings and respects the robots.txt rules of the site. How you use the data is your responsibility: check the site's terms and the laws that apply to you, for example the GDPR.

**Something does not work?** Open an issue in the Issues tab. Every public actor is test-run daily and the broken ones are repaired.

**Did this save you time?** A short review on the Store page helps other people find the actor, and tells me what to improve next.

echo '{}' |
apify call bibian/codeur-projects-scraper --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
