⚠️ Filter Quality — Read This Before Filtering

Upwork only requires title, description, skills, and price-type from the client. Almost everything else is optional, and clients fill it in inconsistently. If you filter on a field that's empty for most jobs, you exclude all the matching jobs that simply didn't supply the value — not just the non-matching ones.

Field density measured on the last 30 days (~135K postings):

• Always-filled (safe to filter): title, description, skills, price_type, category_name, subcategory_name, experience_level, qual_pref_english, qual_type, client_location, hire_rate, company_size, open_jobs (all ≥99%)
• Mostly filled (mild loss): buyer_contract_date (~82%), buyer_payment_verified (~78%), ai_explicit_mention_of_agency (~73%)
• Half-filled (use carefully): price / price_min / price_max (~40% — fixed-price jobs leave hourly bounds null and vice versa), buyer_score, buyer_feedback_count, total_spent, industry, engagement_label, ai_summary, ai_technical_skills (30-70%)
• Sparse (filter at your own risk): ai_urgency (~14%), ai_duration (~27%), ai_deadline (~12%), qual_portfolio_required (~7%), qual_rising_talent (~12%) — most jobs are not tagged

Recommendation: filter on dense fields, then use sparse fields for post-fetch sorting / scoring / display. Combining sparse filters compounds the loss multiplicatively.

🔥 Most Popular Filters

Field	Type	Example	Description

job_score is the rule-based 0–100 rank. Category weights: price (20) + client_reputation (42) + client_spending (40) + premium (5) + location (10). Each category is capped at its weight, then summed and bounded to 0–100.

job_score_breakdown is always included and explains which fields contributed how many points. Use it to build UI that highlights why a job ranked high, or to debug your score-threshold filters. top_contributors is sorted descending; penalties lists negative contributions (e.g., unverified payment, low hire rate on a client with many jobs posted).

questions is the array of Upwork screening questions captured for the job — empty [] for ~83% of postings, 1–6 strings when the client included them. Feed it into your auto-proposal generator.

Empty/missing AI fields are returned as null (not every job goes through full AI enrichment).

📊 Need historical data?

For research or model training, the live scraper isn't the right tool. We also publish a historical Upwork jobs dataset with 1.9M+ records from 2024–2025 in CSV, JSON, Parquet, SQLite, and DuckDB formats — with the same AI-enriched fields. See the Upwork Jobs Dataset on Gumroad for details.
