Need a dedicated scraper for one website?

This Actor is the general tool for protected public pages. If you already have one specific site and a field list, a dedicated scraper is faster and more stable: listing + detail, your export format, delivered to your Apify account or as a standalone runnable client.

I confirm the tier before you pay. The clock starts after that confirmation.

Start here: Submit a custom scraper request

	Starter $50	Dedicated $100	Hard target $200–999
Site	1 simple anti-bot public site	1 medium anti-bot public site	Cloudflare / aggressive anti-bot / custom parser
Scope	Full listing + detail fields	Listing + detail + pagination, your field list	Agreed fields, repeatable runs
Delivery	CSV/JSON · Apify Actor or standalone runnable client (script/CLI)	Same, plus a sample run and short instructions	Feasibility first, then build
Time	24 hours after we confirm the URL is in scope	48 hours after confirmation	Quoted after feasibility
Fixes	30 days for small public-layout changes	30 days	Scoped in the quote

Hard-target sites are not a 100% uptime promise. You get a dedicated parser that can be re-run on the agreed fields. If the URL is not feasible, you get a refund or pay an assessment fee only — you will know before the build starts.

Not in Starter/Dedicated: login-walled data, native APK / Windows installer / full web apps, or two-year maintenance. Those are a separate quote.

What you can do with it

1. Pull the latest all-jobs feed for market scanning

In plain English: Watch what freelancers and agencies are hiring for right now — without typing a keyword first.

To run this, all you fill in are a few fields in the Apify input form:

Field	What to enter
Keywords	Leave empty
Max items	e.g. `20`
Sort	`recency`

Click Start. The Actor calls the worker through the control plane. The worker fetches the public Upwork search page over its direct HTTP lane; the Actor writes the newest public listings into a clean table:

Title	Job type	Budget	Proposals	Client country
Go High Level Specialist	hourly	$15–$25/hr	5 to 10	United States
Real Estate Listing Marketing Strategist	fixed	$500	Less than 5	Canada

Every row has the fields you need for research or outreach lists. Download as Excel, CSV, or JSON, or pipe the Dataset into Make / n8n / Zapier.

Each Dataset row is one billed entity and includes a stable rowType + id. maxItems is the row budget for each keyword or URL input, not one shared budget for the whole run. The default is 70. Larger requests are dispatched in parts of at most 70 rows when the selected surface supports continuation. All row types share the same per-input budget, and the run still stops at your maximum total charge. Detail enrichment updates the same job row; it does not create an extra billed row.

2. Track demand for a niche skill or tool

In plain English: See how many public jobs mention tools like n8n, LangChain, or Shopify — and what clients are offering.

Field	What to enter
Keywords	e.g. `n8n automation`
Max pages per keyword	`1`–`3`
Max items	e.g. `50`

You get titles, skills, budgets, proposal pressure, and client signals so you can compare niches without manual copying.

3. Build agency lead lists from public budgets and client spend

In plain English: Filter for jobs that show public budget and client country/spend signals, then export for CRM or Sheets.

Field	What to enter
Keywords	Optional niche phrases
Scrape details	`true` when you need extra public detail fields
Max detail items	e.g. `5`

Detail enrichment visits a bounded number of public job pages. It is slower; keep maxDetailItems small on first runs.

4. Feed freelancing alerts into automation tools

In plain English: Run on a schedule and push new Upwork listings into Slack, Telegram, Google Sheets, or a database.

Platform	How to connect
Make.com	Apify → Run Actor → `lentic_clockss/upwork-jobs-scraper`
n8n	Apify node → Run Actor
Zapier	Apify integration → Run Actor
Python / JS	Apify client SDK (example below)

5. Compare hourly vs fixed-price competition

In plain English: Capture jobType, rate ranges, fixed prices, and proposal midpoints so you can estimate competition density without opening dozens of browser tabs.

6. Collect other public surfaces

Set collectionSurface to switch away from job search:

`collectionSurface`	What it collects	Extra fields
`jobs` (default)	Public job search and optional job detail pages	`keywords`, `scrapeDetails`, `maxDetailItems`
`freelancers`	Public freelancer profile pages	`profileUrls` (only `https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/...` URLs are kept)
`services`	Public project catalog listings	—
`sitemap`	Public sitemap URL enumeration	`maxShards`, `maxUrlsPerShard` (0 = unlimited)

maxItems applies to each keyword, profile URL, or category URL. An empty keyword list is one all-current-jobs input. Job search has a continuation cursor for requests above one 70-row unit; the current category, services, and sitemap paths stop after their first unit when no continuation is available.

{
  "collectionSurface": "freelancers",
  "profileUrls": ["https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01abc..."],
  "maxItems": 3
}

How to use (no code required)

Click Try for free
Leave keywords empty for the full public feed, or add up to 10 phrases
Set maxItems for cost control (start with 5–20)
Click Start and open the Dataset

That's the whole workflow: choose scope, start, download. The free monthly Apify credit is enough for small canaries before you scale.

What you get back

Each Dataset item can include:

Job identity — job ID, title, description snippet, canonical URL
Search context — keyword used (all when unfiltered), page, source search URL
Budget — hourly min/max or fixed price when public
Competition — proposal range text + normalized midpoint
Skills & level — public skill tags and experience level when present
Client signals — country, total spend bucket, hire rate, payment-verified flag when public
Timestamp — collection time

Missing public values stay empty/null. The Actor does not invent data.

Run artifacts in Key-Value Store:

Artifact	What it is
`INPUT_ECHO`	Normalized input (`presetKeywords: []`, collection scope)
`RUN_SUMMARY`	Pages succeeded/blocked, worker lane, counts
`ERROR_SUMMARY`	Structured failure if the run cannot collect trustworthy rows

Data source and boundary

Mode	Source
All current jobs	Public Upwork search feed without `q`
Keyword search	Public Upwork search with optional `q`
Optional details	Public job detail pages (bounded)
Freelancer profiles	Public profile pages from `profileUrls`
Project catalog	Public project catalog pages
Sitemap enumeration	Public sitemap index and shards

Primary path: direct HTTP fetch of public server-rendered pages, run by the worker
Browser fallback: only when the direct lane is unavailable; no Apify proxy involved
No login, no messaging, no private account data
Page structure and anti-bot rules change; start small and keep budgets bounded

Free Apify plan limits (set by this Actor's developer)

Limit	Free Apify plan	Paid Apify plan
Runs of this Actor	10 runs total	Unlimited
Dataset rows per run	Up to 200	Limited by your maximum total charge

When the run cap is hit, the run finishes with a clear status message — not an Apify platform error.

Pricing

Pay per event. No subscription.

Free Apify plan: up to 10 runs of this Actor and 200 Dataset rows per run. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs. (Limits set by the Actor developer.)

Event	Price	When charged
`apify-actor-start`	$0.005	Once when a normal run starts
`apify-default-dataset-item`	$2.00 / 1,000 ($0.002 each)	Each Dataset item written

User pays platform usage costs: Yes (for example, Actor compute when platform billing is active). The Actor does not use Apify Proxy.

Real-world examples:

Scenario	Approx. product charge
Canary: 5 jobs	$0.005 + 5 × $0.002 = $0.015
Daily niche scan: 100 jobs	$0.005 + $0.20 = $0.205
1,000 jobs	$0.005 + $2.00 = $2.005

Cost scales mostly with results. Platform compute usage is separate and depends on run duration and memory.

Live View endpoints

When Standby / Live View is enabled, the service exposes a small OpenAPI surface:

Endpoint	Purpose
`GET /`	Readiness
`GET /health`	Health
`GET /input-example`	Low-cost example input
`GET /openapi.json`	Deployed OpenAPI document

Collection still runs through a normal Actor run — Live View does not scrape Upwork by itself.

`maxPagesPerKeyword`	integer	`1`	Pages per keyword (1–10).
`maxItems`	integer	`70`	Max Dataset rows for each keyword or URL input (1–500); UI prefill is 3. Larger requests use units of at most 70 where continuation is supported. All row types share the budget. The run stops at your maximum total charge. Free Apify plan: 200 rows/run and 10 total runs.
`sort`	string	`recency`	`recency` or `relevance`.
`scrapeDetails`	boolean	`true`	Jobs surface: enrich from public detail pages.
`maxDetailItems`	integer	`5`	Max detail pages when enrichment is on.

`workerBaseUrl`	string	(env)	Optional override, restricted to this Actor's control-plane entry point. Default: Actor env `WORKER_BASE_URL`.

A legacy proxyConfiguration block is still accepted for old inputs but is ignored; the worker does not use an Apify proxy.

FAQ

Do I need an Upwork account?
No. The Actor only reads public pages.

Are there preset keywords?
No. Empty keywords collect the unfiltered public feed.

Do I need a proxy?
No. The worker reads public server-rendered pages over its own direct HTTP lane. Any proxyConfiguration in old inputs is ignored.

What if a page is blocked?
The run fails closed when it cannot produce trustworthy rows. It does not fake an empty success after hard blocks.

Can I scrape private proposals or messages?
No.

How fresh is the data?
As fresh as the public search page at run time.

I'm on the free Apify plan — are there limits?
Yes. Free Apify plan users get 10 runs of this Actor and up to 200 Dataset rows per run. These limits are set by the Actor developer (not Apify). When you hit the run cap, the run finishes with a clear status message — it is not a platform bug. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs.
