Freelancer New Projects Monitor

Monitor a bounded Freelancer project feed and emit paid rows only for new matching projects after a free baseline. Built for freelancers and agencies monitoring fresh project opportunities.

Buyer question: Which matching Freelancer projects are genuinely new since my last check?

Start with this bounded input

{
  "keywords": [
    "python"
  ],
  "skills": [],
  "projectType": "any",
  "maxProjects": 25,
  "monitorKey": "python-opportunities"
}

Run it, inspect the Dataset and RUN_SUMMARY, then save the input as an Apify Task for recurring use. This starter can create at most 25 paid units, or $0.50 at the launch price. Actual cost is lower when fewer complete units match. Diagnostics never count as paid units.

What you get

• Structured public Freelancer project, skill, budget, and bid evidence
• Stable project IDs and direct source URLs for every paid output
• USD-normalized budgets using the source currency exchange rate
• Pure HTTP execution at 256 MB with bounded inputs and no account login
• JSON, CSV, Excel, API, webhook, MCP, and scheduled Task workflows

Best-fit workflows

• Schedule a keyword feed and emit only newly observed projects
• Send confirmed new opportunities to Slack, email, a CRM, or an agent
• Keep the first baseline and every unchanged check free

Output fields

Field	Meaning
eventType	Confirmed event type; currently new_project.
projectId	Stable public Freelancer project identifier.
title	Public project title.
skills	Public skill names attached to the project.
budgetMinUsd	Source budget minimum normalized to USD.
budgetMaxUsd	Source budget maximum normalized to USD.
bidCount	Public bid count observed when collected.
projectUrl	Direct public evidence URL for the project.
detectedAt	Timestamp when this monitor first emitted the project.

Output and billing

The paid unit is one new project event. Launch price: $20.00 per 1,000 successful units. The first run creates a free baseline. Unchanged checks, baselines, and failed fetches produce no paid rows.

RUN_SUMMARY reports source requests, projects fetched, matches, rows saved, paid rows, partial state, and monitor state outside the Dataset. Diagnostics, duplicates, source failures, empty results, baselines, and unchanged monitor checks are never billed.

Choose the right Freelancer Actor

Actor	Use it for
Active Projects Scraper	Current project rows for discovery or export
New Projects Monitor	Only newly observed matching projects after a free baseline
Skills Demand Intelligence	Skill-level demand, budget, and bid aggregates
Project Budget Benchmark	Budget ranges and sample evidence by project type
Bid Competition Intelligence	Skill-level project volume and bid competition

The five Actors use the same public source but charge for different complete outcomes. Do not run every Actor when one buyer question is enough.

Source behavior

The Actor uses Freelancer.com's public projects API. Results are a bounded active-project sample, not a claim of complete marketplace coverage. Currency conversion uses the exchange rate included in the public response. Bid and budget benchmarks describe the inspected sample and are not promises of project value or win probability.

Automation and AI agents

Save the input as a Task, schedule it, connect a webhook, or call it from the Neuton Actors MCP server. The Dataset works with JSON, CSV, Excel, the Apify API, Make, Zapier, n8n, ChatGPT, Claude, and custom agents.
