Frequently Asked Questions

Which Upwork data can this scraper collect? It reads two public surfaces: the talent search (freelancer profiles) and the job search (job posts). Set the search type, enter a keyword, and it returns clean records with rates, earnings, job success, skills, budgets and more.

How many results can I get per keyword? Popular keywords return tens of thousands of freelancers and thousands of jobs. The talent search exposes up to about 191,000 profiles per keyword. Use the Max Items input to cap how many records you collect.

Do I need an Upwork login or cookies? No. The scraper only reads publicly available search pages and needs no account, cookie or token from you.

Why are some job budgets or hourly ranges empty? Some hourly jobs are posted with an open budget and some client details are hidden on public posts, so those values come through empty. Every field that is always empty on public data is left out of the output entirely.

Can I search freelancers and jobs in the same run? Each run collects one type. Run the actor once with the search type set to freelancers and again with it set to jobs, or schedule two separate tasks.
