## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### What can I get

- 👩‍💻 **Search 1.8M+ freelancers & 35K+ agencies** — rate, Job Success, earnings, badges, English, location & time zone filters
- 💵 **Rates and earnings you can sort** — hourly rate, total earned, hours billed, hourly vs fixed jobs
- ⭐ **Reputation at a glance** — rating, reviews, hire-again rate, Top Rated badges & ID verification
- 📄 **Full profiles** — availability, categories, agencies, portfolio and the latest contracts with client feedback

### Why Upwork Freelancer Scraper

Most other Upwork scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

- 🗄️ **Inaccurate, cached, stale data**
- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — a few fields per profile, never the full picture
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data**
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

Upwork Freelancer Scraper is scraped live on every run, priced honestly, and actively maintained.

### FAQ

**How much does a typical run cost?** 1,000 standard profiles cost $2. With full profiles switched on, 1,000 profiles cost $7. A search for 100 freelancers costs 20 cents.

**How many profiles can one search return?** Upwork serves the first 10,000 profiles of any search. Narrow it with a location, rate or badge filter to reach more.

**Can I scrape agencies?** Yes. Set **Talent type** to agency members, or paste a talent-search URL with the agency filter on.

**Do I pay twice for the same freelancer?** No. A profile found by several searches in one run is scraped and billed once.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
