FAQ

Do I need an Upwork account? No — this uses the public visitor search surface. Job rows include full description, budget and skills.

How fresh is the data? Results come sorted by publish time (sort=recency), ~10 jobs per page, paginated to maxResults.

How do I get only new jobs? Rows carry jobId + publishedAt — keep seen IDs in your pipeline and alert on first-seen. watch + Apify Schedules + a webhook gives you a real alert loop.

Why did a job show no client country? Some clients hide location/spend from anonymous viewers — those fields arrive null; clientPaymentVerified is usually still visible.

Why is a residential proxy required? Upwork's CDN blocks datacenter IPs — this actor defaults to Apify Residential proxy (enabled in the input, billed separately by Apify at residential bandwidth rates). A typical search run uses well under 2 MB, so proxy cost is cents per run.
