How much does it cost to scrape CrowdWorks?

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing. You are charged for each job listing extracted (one result-item event per record).

• Free tier: Apify's free plan includes $5 of platform credits per month, enough to scrape hundreds of job listings.
• Compute costs: A typical run extracting 50 jobs takes about 30–60 seconds with ~1 GB RAM, consuming approximately 0.01 CU.
• No hidden fees: You only pay for the results you get and the compute time used.

Tips and use cases

Tips for best results

• Use Japanese keywords for more accurate results (CrowdWorks is a Japanese platform)

• For large extractions, increase maxJobs — pagination is handled automatically (50 jobs per page)
• Some jobs may have empty payment_amount when the client hasn't disclosed pricing

FAQ
