What you can do with it

• Track the French freelance market: daily rates by skill, city and seniority.
• Feed a job alert or a job board: run it daily with "Published within 1 day" and get only the new postings.
• Find companies that are hiring: which firms and IT consultancies recruit for a given technology right now.
• Benchmark salaries: permanent salary ranges and freelance daily rates side by side.
• Paste a search URL: copy a results page from free-work.com (e.g. a city search like https://www.free-work.com/fr/tech-it/jobs/lyon?query=developpeur) into Search URLs and get exactly what you'd see on the site, no field-mapping needed.

Input

Field	What it does
Keywords	Job title, skill or technology, for example data engineer or python. Empty means every posting.
Contract types	Freelance mission, permanent, fixed-term, apprenticeship, internship. Empty means all.
Remote work	Any, full remote, hybrid or on site.
Search URLs	Optional. Paste one or more search result URLs copied from free-work.com; their own filters (keywords, city) are applied as if typed above, each URL as its own search, in addition to the fields above (union, deduplicated).
Published within (days)	Keep only recent postings. Use 1 for a daily monitoring run.
Maximum number of postings	The run stops once this many postings are saved.
Include full descriptions	Adds the description, candidate profile and company description as plain text.

Ready-to-use inputs

Copy one of these into the input editor (or pass it through the API) instead of filling the form field by field.

Daily monitoring — schedule this with Apify Schedules and publishedWithinDays: 1; dedupe your own copy on the id field (this actor does not have the "Only new results" option, so the run always returns everything published in the window, not only what changed since the last run):

{
  "publishedWithinDays": 1,
  "maxItems": 200,
  "includeDescriptions": false
}

A keyword in one city, using a search URL copied straight from free-work.com (filters such as the city are applied exactly as on the site):

{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.free-work.com/fr/tech-it/jobs/lyon?query=devops"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

A full export with no filter, for an initial load or a market study:

{
  "keywords": "",
  "publishedWithinDays": null,
  "maxItems": 5000,
  "includeDescriptions": true
}

Output

One record per posting, with the unified field names shared by every job actor from this author listed first, plus every historical Free-Work-specific field unchanged below for backward compatibility:

Field	What it is
datePosted, validThrough	Publication and expiry date, ISO 8601 (same values as publishedAt/expiresAt below).
employmentType	freelance, full_time, temporary, apprenticeship, internship or unknown, normalized from contracts.
remote	remote, hybrid, onsite or unknown, normalized from remoteMode.
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod	Daily rate when the posting has one (salaryPeriod: "day"), else the annual salary ("year"); same numbers as minDailyRate/maxDailyRate or minAnnualSalary/maxAnnualSalary below.
companyUrl, companyLogo, confidentialCompany	Link and logo to the company's own page on Free-Work, or null/true when companyName is hidden.
external, externalSource, applicationUrl	true and the originating board (for example "francetravail.fr") when the posting is syndicated from elsewhere, with a direct link to apply there; false/null/null for postings native to Free-Work.
premium	true when the posting is a paid/boosted placement on Free-Work (new 09/11/2026). Boosted postings can rank above fresher ones, so filter this out for a pure freshness or market-volume read.
createdAt	ISO 8601 creation date from Free-Work's own system (new 13/11/2026). Can predate publishedAt by weeks: on a 200-posting sample, 44% had a gap of more than a day, up to 44 days. Use it with premium to tell a genuinely new posting apart from an old one republished to look fresh.
source, sourceId, scrapedAt	"free-work.com", the posting's own id as a string, and when this run read it.
id, url, title, companyName, locationLabel, city, region, postalCode, country, experienceLevel, skills	Unchanged, already using the shared names.

Historical fields, kept exactly as they always were — existing integrations do not need any change:

Three real results from the same run, side by side:

Title	Company	Contract	Remote	Location	Rate / Salary
Data Engineer Senior	UCASE Consulting	contractor, permanent	partial	Île-de-France	€400–650/day or €40–45k/year
Embedded Software Engineer	Rise Technical Recruitment	permanent	none	South Oxfordshire, UK	€50–60k/year
Product Owner Data	Freelancerepublik	contractor	full	Aix-en-Provence	—

Why this one

• Only need the rate? French Freelance Day Rates (TJM) returns the median, quartiles and remote share per skill and city, computed live from these same Free-Work missions: nothing to download and crunch yourself.
• Structured rates, not a text blob. minDailyRate/maxDailyRate and minAnnualSalary/maxAnnualSalary are separate numeric fields, so filtering or sorting by pay needs no text parsing.
• Both freelance and permanent in one schema. contracts can hold more than one type on the same posting (common on Free-Work), instead of forcing a single-contract model.
• No browser, no proxy. The site's own API is read directly, so a 100-posting run finishes in a few seconds.
• Spots syndicated postings. external/externalSource flags the postings Free-Work mirrors from another board (for example France Travail), with the original applicationUrl, so you can dedupe against your other sources instead of double-counting the same opening.

Good to know

• Postings come newest first, so a date-limited run stops early and stays cheap.
• No browser and no proxy needed: runs are fast and reliable.
• The dataset contains job postings only. Recruiter contact details are never exported.

En français

Cet extracteur récupère les offres d'emploi IT et les missions freelance publiées sur Free-Work : intitulé, entreprise ou ESN, TJM ou salaire, compétences, télétravail, ville et description complète, en JSON, CSV ou Excel. Idéal pour suivre les TJM par technologie, alimenter une alerte quotidienne ou un job board, ou repérer les ESN qui recrutent en ce moment. Aucun compte ni proxy nécessaire, et le robots.txt du site est respecté. Lancez l'exemple prérempli (« data engineer », 7 derniers jours) pour voir 50 résultats en quelques secondes.

Who uses it

• Recruiting agencies and HR teams watch which companies hire, for which roles and at which salary, in their market.
• Job boards and aggregators feed their own site with fresh postings in a stable schema, without maintaining a parser.
• B2B sales and lead generation: a company that is hiring is a company that is buying. Filter postings by role to spot prospects early.
• Labour-market research: salaries, skills in demand, remote share and hiring volume over time.

Pricing

Pay per result: $2.00 per 1,000 postings, plus $0.0002 per run start with the default 4 GB of memory. For example, 100 postings cost about $0.20. You only pay for the postings you receive, and platform usage is included in that price. Store discounts apply automatically on paid Apify plans: up to 20% off every event on the higher tiers.

Run it from your code

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('bibian/free-work-jobs-scraper').call({
  keywords: 'data engineer',
  publishedWithinDays: 7,
  maxItems: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("bibian/free-work-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keywords": "data engineer",
    "publishedWithinDays": 7,
    "maxItems": 100
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

Monitor new postings daily and connect your tools

1. Schedule it. 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.
2. Push the results where you work. Add an Apify integration or a webhook to the task: Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n or your own endpoint, triggered at the end of every run.
3. Call it from your stack. The API and the JavaScript and Python clients return the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.
4. Let an AI agent use it. Through the Apify MCP server, assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT can search the Store, read this page and run the actor as a tool.

Prefer a plain REST API?

The same postings are available as a REST API on RapidAPI and Zyla API Hub: one POST call returns the JSON, billing goes through the marketplace and no Apify account is needed.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account, cookies or a proxy for Free-Work? No. The actor reads publicly visible pages only.

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

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.

Need another site, a missing field or a new filter? Open an issue in the Issues tab and say what you need, with an example URL if you have one. Requests are read, and the most asked ones are built next.

Need a custom version built for you? I also build private versions and custom scrapers: another site, extra fields, a specific output format, or delivery straight to Google Sheets, a database or a webhook. Open an issue in the Issues tab with what you need and an example URL, and I will reply there with a quote.

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.
