FAQ — Malt API alternatives

Malt official API? No public API for bulk profile search. This scraper is the way.

Is Malt blocking scrapers? Malt does have a Cloudflare 1015 rate limit at sustained 50 req/min. This scraper paces requests safely below that threshold and uses retries. Avoid running 10+ instances in parallel against Malt.

Coverage outside FR/DE/ES/UK/BE/NL? Malt only operates in those 6 countries (so far). Other regions return empty.

Daily rate (TJM) accuracy? Rates shown are what each freelancer publicly displays. Some freelancers list "rate on demand" — those return daily_rate_eur: null.
