How much does it cost to scrape Workana?

What is the price per job listing?

Plan	Price per event	Price per 1,000
Free	$0.0009	$0.90
Bronze	$0.0008	$0.80
Silver	$0.0008	$0.80
Gold	$0.0007	$0.70

Each job-scraped event means one job listing was extracted and pushed to the dataset. A run collecting 1,000 listings costs $0.90 on the Free plan or $0.70 on Gold. Apify's free trial credits cover test runs.

Use cases

• Build a freelance job feed for a specific skill, category, or country.
• Monitor demand and typical budgets for a category over time with scheduled runs.
• Feed job listings into a lead-generation or market-research pipeline.
• Compare project volume and pricing across Workana's Portuguese, Spanish, and English markets.
• Track newly posted urgent jobs matching a keyword.

How it works

1. The actor validates keyword, category, country, language, and maxItems.
2. It builds a Workana job search URL for the selected language, category, and filters, and reads the job listings Workana embeds directly in the page for each result.
3. It pages through results, deduplicating listings by their unique slug, until maxItems is reached or no new listings are found.
4. Each listing's budget text is parsed into currency, minimum, and maximum, and its skills, client country, and bid count are extracted from the source fields.
5. It pushes one row per listing to the default Apify dataset and charges one PPE event per pushed listing on the Apify platform.

What are the limitations of Workana scraping?

• deadline is only populated when the client set one; most listings leave it empty.
• language selects which Workana site to browse (Portuguese, Spanish, or English show a different mix of listings) — it does not translate results.
• Budget parsing depends on Workana's own budget text format; unusual formats fall back to null rather than a guessed value.

FAQ

Does Workana Jobs Scraper require a Workana account?

No login is required. The actor reads Workana's public job search pages.

What's the difference between the pt, es, and en language options?

Each points to a different Workana site (/pt/jobs, /es/jobs, /en/jobs) with its own mix of listings — Portuguese is the largest, since Workana's primary market is Brazil. It's not a translation setting.

Why is category a mix of top-level categories and subcategories?

Workana's own taxonomy has top-level categories (like "IT & Programming") and subcategories within them (like "Web Development"). The actor maps each supported slug to the correct one automatically.

Can I schedule recurring runs to track new job postings?

Yes. Use Apify schedules to run the actor daily, weekly, or at any interval.

Where can I report issues or request fields?

Open the Issues tab on the actor page and include your input example, run ID, and the fields you expected.
