❓ FAQ

🔍 Can I search for any skill or keyword? Yes. Anything that works in Upwork's search bar works here: job titles, skills, technologies, industry terms. The actor searches the same index Upwork uses.

📊 What does the Job Success Score mean? Upwork calculates it from client feedback, contract outcomes, and responsiveness. The value ranges from 0 to 1 (e.g. 0.95 = 95% success rate). Higher scores indicate more reliable freelancers.

📈 How many profiles can I get per run? Paid users can collect up to 1,000,000 profiles per run. Free users are limited to 100. A typical search for "react developer" returns 10,000+ matching freelancers.

👤 Does it include contact information? No. Only publicly visible profile data is collected: names, titles, skills, rates, and performance stats. Private contact details like email or phone numbers are not accessible through Upwork's public search.

⏱️ How long does a run take? Collecting 100 profiles typically takes under 1 minute. Larger runs scale linearly, so 1,000 profiles takes about 5-10 minutes.

📅 Can I schedule automatic runs? Yes. Use the Apify console to schedule runs daily, weekly, or monthly. Combine with Make or Zapier to automatically push new data to your spreadsheet or CRM.
