Upwork Freelancers Scraper · Rates, Earnings, JSS & Work History

Scrape Upwork freelancer profiles from talent search without logging in. Each row is one freelancer: name, title, hourly rate, exact lifetime earnings, Job Success Score, hours billed, hourly and fixed-price job counts, Top Rated / Top Rated Plus badge, location, skills, portfolio and agency. Turn on profile details to add rating, hire-again rate, member since, last worked on, availability, job categories and the latest contracts with client feedback both ways.

Why use it

• Live talent search: the same results and order Upwork shows today, up to 10,000 freelancers per search.
• Exact numbers: lifetime earnings to the cent (unless the freelancer hides them), JSS as a percentage, hours billed.
• Filters that work: keep your own Upwork search URL with every filter, or filter by country, rate, JSS, earnings, hours, badge and agency membership here.
• Profile details on demand: pay for the profile read only when you want it.
• No login, no cookies, no Upwork account at risk.

Use cases

• Recruiting and talent sourcing: shortlist freelancers by rate, JSS, earnings and hours.
• Agency lead generation: find agency members and Top Rated Plus freelancers in a niche.
• Rate benchmarking: compare hourly rates by skill and country.
• Market research on the freelance economy: earnings and activity by category.

How it works

1. Each keyword becomes an Upwork talent search (/nx/search/talent/?q=...); search URLs are used as they are.
2. The actor reads 10 freelancers per search page from the page's own data and walks pages until it has Max results. Pages load over plain HTTP where Upwork allows it, otherwise in a real Firefox browser on a US residential connection.
3. With Add profile details, it opens each freelancer's public profile and merges the extra fields.
4. Freelancer profile URLs are read directly.

FAQ

Do I need an Upwork account? No. Everything comes from pages Upwork shows to logged-out visitors.

Why is totalEarnings null for some freelancers? They chose to hide earnings (earningsHidden: true).

Why do rows from profileUrls have no earnings or JSS? Upwork shows those on search cards only, not on logged-out profile pages. Search for the freelancer to get them.

Why only the latest contracts? The logged-out profile page carries the newest 10 completed contracts; completedJobsCount gives the full count.

Languages, education, employment? Upwork does not include them in the logged-out profile page, so they are not in the output.

Free Apify plan? The first 3 rows of a run are complete. After that, totalEarnings is rounded to its order of magnitude and workHistory / portfolioProjects are left out, with a freePlanNote on the row. Any paid Apify plan gets every field.

Pricing? Pay per event: one event per freelancer row, plus one per row with profile details. Error rows (failed or private profiles, empty searches) are free.
