Proxy Configuration

Using proxies is recommended when scraping Upwork to:

• Avoid IP blocking and rate limiting
• Access location-restricted content
• Enable parallel scraping at scale

By default, the actor uses Apify's proxy service. You can configure proxy options:

• Apify Proxy: Choose from datacenter, residential, or Google SERP proxies
• Custom Proxies: Configure your own proxy URLs in the format http(s)://username:password@host:port

For most use cases, the default settings with Apify's proxy work best.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape without login?
Yes, but you'll see fewer job results. Use cookies for full access.

Is this actor legal to use?
Yes, but respect Upwork's terms and avoid high-frequency scraping.

How long does scraping take?
Roughly 2–3 minutes per page, depending on filters and network speed.

Why does the actor require proxies?
Upwork has anti-scraping measures that can block IPs making too many requests. Proxies help bypass these limitations, reduce blocking, and provide consistent results. The actor includes Apify proxy by default.
