✨ Why this scraper

• Actually works — parses Upwork's current layout and clears the Cloudflare "Just a moment" challenge with residential proxies + Turnstile handling.
• Powerful filtering — keyword, client location, experience level, hourly-rate range, job type (hourly/fixed), payment-verified-only, and sort order.
• Rich data — title, full description, budget/hourly rate, skills, experience level, estimated time, posting time, and a stable job ID.
• Bring your own filters — paste any Upwork search URL directly via Start URLs.
• Optional logged-in mode — supply session cookies to unlock client fields (total spent, payment verified, rating, proposals).
• No duplicates — results are de-duplicated by job URL automatically.

🚀 How to use

1. Enter one or more Job keywords (e.g. React developer, logo design).
2. (Optional) Add Client locations, Experience level, Job type, hourly-rate range, or payment-verified only.
3. Set Max results (and optionally Max results per search to spread results across locations).
4. Keep the default Residential proxy. Click Start.
5. Download your data as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or pull it via the API.

💡 Tip: To scrape a very specific search, run it once on upwork.com, copy the URL from your browser, and paste it into Start URLs — every filter you set on Upwork is respected.

🔐 Unlocking client data (optional)

Client stats (spend, payment verification, ratings, proposals) are only visible to logged-in Upwork users. To include them:

1. Log in to Upwork in your browser.
2. Export your upwork.com cookies with a cookie-export extension (Cookie-Editor, EditThisCookie).
3. Paste the exported JSON array into the Upwork login cookies input.

Leave it empty to scrape anonymously (all non-client fields still work).

💡 Use cases

• Agencies — track demand and pricing for your services across regions.
• Market research — analyze rates, skills in demand, and hiring trends.
• Lead generation — build lists of clients actively hiring in your niche.
