Why this exists

Upwork's talent search is built for hiring one person. It's not built for:

• Pulling 200 React developers to compare rates across regions
• Researching how Top Rated designers price themselves in Europe vs. Asia
• Building a prospect list of freelancers who might need your SaaS tool
• Tracking how supply and skill distribution shifts over time

For any of that, you'd be clicking and copying for hours. This scraper does it in minutes.
