Freelance Opportunity Intelligence

Find the best opportunities in the job data you already have. Turn an authorized collection of freelance project records into a clean, prioritized dataset with skill matching, budget filtering, and actionable missing-data flags.

This is a data analysis and qualification tool, not a web scraper. It never visits Upwork, scrapes marketplaces, collects new listings, or claims to verify customer information.

Business value

• Prioritize leads: Rank opportunities with a deterministic 0–100 score and a separate skill-match percentage.
• Work with the data you have: Paste a JSON array or connect an existing Apify Dataset you are permitted to use.
• Reduce busywork: Deduplicate jobs, filter by available budgets, and identify missing descriptions, URLs or skills.
• Use the output immediately: Send normalized records to spreadsheets, BI tools, internal dashboards or workflows through the Apify Dataset API.

Who it helps

Freelancers prioritizing project leads, agencies triaging inbound opportunities, and teams organizing customer-authorized freelance job data.

First run: sample data (fictional)

{
  "confirmAuthorizedData": true,
  "jobs": [
    {
      "title": "React dashboard development (example)",
      "description": "Build a React and TypeScript dashboard",
      "url": "https://example.org/opportunity/1",
      "skills": ["React", "TypeScript"],
      "budget": 1500,
      "paymentVerified": true
    },
    {
      "title": "Python reporting project (example)",
      "description": "Create a small reporting script",
      "url": "https://example.org/opportunity/2",
      "skills": ["Python"],
      "budget": 800
    }
  ],
  "targetSkills": ["React", "TypeScript"],
  "minBudget": 0,
  "maxItems": 50
}

The fictional sample does not represent real live job availability. Replace it with records you are authorized to analyze.

Accepted input

Use any one of jobs (array of job objects), jobsJson (string containing a JSON array), or sourceDatasetId (authorized Apify Dataset). Confirm the right to process the records. Optional targetSkills, minBudget, and maxItems control the shortlist. Up to 250 qualifying records can be emitted per run.

Supported source fields include title/jobTitle/name, description/summary, skills, url/jobUrl, fixedBudget/hourlyMax/budget, and paymentVerified. The tool never claims to independently verify these fields.

Output and transparent scoring

Results contain jobId, title, url, description, skills, budgetValue, matchedSkills, matchScore, opportunityScore, missingFields and processedAt.

The opportunity score weights record completeness (30 points), match against requested skills (40), presence of budget data (20) and explicitly supplied payment verification (10). When no target skills are supplied, a neutral 20/40 points is used. This is a transparent prioritization heuristic, not a prediction of hiring success.

A minimum budget excludes records with unknown budgets as well as amounts below the threshold. Budget values are interpreted as provided; currencies are not converted.

Pricing and responsible use

Pay Per Event charges follow the current Apify Store pricing per emitted result item. Input validation errors do not create result items, but platform compute costs can still arise. Upload only records that you may legally process. Avoid sensitive personal data.

The previous URL/slug contains an Upwork reference because this is a maintained version of an existing Actor. The current product no longer accesses Upwork and is not endorsed by Upwork or any jobs marketplace.

Limitations

This tool does not discover new jobs or refresh external listings, and does not access third-party APIs, scrape websites, or verify source claims. Imported data quality and rights remain the customer's responsibility. Use scores as decision support and review actual opportunities before taking action.
