## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Freelancer Scraper — Jobs · Budgets · Skills · Bids

Extract Freelancer.com job listings, budgets, required skills, and bid statistics — at scale, without coding. Built on the public Freelancer REST API for speed and reliability.

![banner](https://i.imgur.com/wFeDLMC.png)

> Filter by skill, budget, language. Built-in market analytics. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or Google Sheets. Proxies included.

---

### What You Get

- **Direct API access** — no browser, no DOM parsing. 5–10× faster than Playwright-based scrapers.
- **Up to 10,000 jobs per run** with pagination handled automatically.
- **Smart filters** that actually work:
  - Skills (`["Python", "Django"]`) resolved to Freelancer skill IDs server-side
  - Budget range with USD normalisation (projects in INR/EUR are converted before filtering)
  - Low-competition filter (`maxBids`)
  - Sealed-bid exclusion
  - Hourly vs fixed-price toggle
  - Language filter (ISO 639-1)
- **Built-in analytics report** saved to Key-Value Store:
  - Top 30 skills by demand
  - Budget distribution (5 ranges, USD)
  - Competition levels (low/medium/high)
  - Top 10 opportunities (high-budget + low-competition score)
- **Proxies included** — no setup, works out of the box.
- **Honest scope**: returns project-level data only. Freelancer's public API does not expose client/owner profiles without OAuth — those fields are **not** in the output (see FAQ).

---

### Use Cases

#### For Freelancers
Find low-competition jobs in your niche. Set `maxBids: 10` + `skills: ["React", "Next.js"]` and the analytics report surfaces the best opportunities scored by `budget / bids`.

#### For Agencies & Researchers
Track market rates by skill, language, or category. Run weekly with a saved input — fresh dataset each run, ready for BI tools or Google Sheets.

#### For Job Board Builders
Pull Freelancer listings into a unified job feed. Stable REST-API source means no breakage from front-end changes.

---

### Quick Start

Paste this into the **Input** tab and click **Start**:

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "web scraping",
  "maxResults": 100

### FAQ

**Is this scraper legal?**
Yes. It uses the same public Freelancer.com REST API that the website itself uses. No authentication bypass, no private data. Review [Freelancer.com's Terms](https://www.freelancer.com/about/terms) for your specific use case.

**Does it include client/owner information?**
No. Freelancer's public API does not return client profile data (username, country, rating, hire rate) without authenticated OAuth access. This actor returns project-level data only.

**Do I need to configure a proxy?**
No. Proxies are included and configured automatically. `proxyConfiguration` is optional and only used if you want to override with your own.

**Why is this faster than other Freelancer scrapers?**
Most scrapers launch a full browser (Playwright/Puppeteer). This actor uses lightweight HTTP requests to Freelancer's public REST API — no browser overhead, 5–10× faster.

**Can I filter by multiple skills at once?**
Yes. Add names to the `skills` array. They're resolved against Freelancer's skill catalog (case-insensitive) and applied as an OR filter.

**What if a skill name doesn't match?**
You'll see a warning in the log (`No matching skill IDs found for: X`) and the actor will return all skills for that query. Skill names must match Freelancer's catalog — `Python` works, `python developer` does not (use `searchQuery` for that).

**Can I use a category URL?**
Yes. Paste `https://www.freelancer.com/jobs/python/` into `startUrls` — the actor resolves the slug to a skill ID automatically.

**How accurate is the budget filter?**
Filtering is done in USD using Freelancer's published exchange rates. Projects in INR, EUR, GBP, etc. are normalised before the min/max check — you won't get noise from currency differences.

**Where is the analytics report?**
Run → **Storage** tab → **Key-Value Store** → click `ANALYTICS`.

**What's the default sort order?**
Newest first (`time_submitted`). Note: Freelancer may prepend featured/promoted projects above the strict chronological order.

Freelancer.com job search URLs to scrape (e.g. https://www.freelancer.com/jobs/python/). Overrides Search Query if provided.

## `projectType` (type: `string`):

Filter projects by pricing model.

## `minBudget` (type: `integer`):

Only return projects with average budget above this amount. Set to 0 to disable.

## `maxBudget` (type: `integer`):

Only return projects with average budget below this amount. Set to 0 to disable.

## `skills` (type: `array`):

Only return jobs that require at least one of these skills. Leave empty to return all skills.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Filter projects by language. Use ISO 639-1 codes (e.g. 'en', 'de', 'fr'). Leave blank for all languages.

## `maxBids` (type: `integer`):

Only return projects with fewer bids than this number. Set to 0 to disable. Use this to find low-competition opportunities (e.g. set to 10 to see projects with under 10 bids).

## `hasExistingBids` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, only return projects that already have at least one bid placed. Useful for filtering out brand-new postings and surfacing active projects.

## `excludeSealed` (type: `boolean`):

Exclude projects where bids are hidden from other bidders (sealed). Useful when you want to see bid counts and averages.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of job listings to scrape. Set to 0 for unlimited (may be slow for large queries).

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

How to order results. Note: Freelancer may prepend featured/promoted projects above the strict ordering.

## `includeAnalytics` (type: `boolean`):

After scraping, compute a summary analytics report (skill demand, budget distribution, competition levels, top client countries) and save to the Key-Value store under the ANALYTICS key.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. Proxies are included and configured automatically — leave this empty unless you want to override with your own.

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

Milliseconds to wait between API requests. Increase to reduce chance of being rate-limited.
