How much does it cost to scrape Upwork?

Upwork Jobs Scraper uses pay-per-event billing on Apify:

• $0.002 per job result (the headline result event).
• $0.00005 per run for the actor-start event.

Examples: 100 jobs cost about $0.20; 1,000 jobs cost about $2.00 plus the start fee. Free Apify plan users are limited to 10 jobs per run. Residential proxy traffic is billed separately by Apify according to your plan.

Reliability and responsible use

• A residential proxy is used for all requests and enabled by default.
• Filter fields are optional; leave them empty to return all matching jobs.
• hourlyBudgetMin and hourlyBudgetMax apply only when hourlyRate is empty.
• Scrape only public job data and follow Upwork's terms of service.

Frequently asked questions

Can I filter Upwork jobs by budget?

Can I schedule Upwork Jobs Scraper to run automatically?

Yes. Use Apify's Scheduler or the API to run keywords on an hourly or daily cadence.

What counts as one result?

One job listing. The dataset records each job as a single dataset-item event.

Why did my run stop at 10 jobs?

Free Apify plan users are limited to 10 jobs per run. Upgrade your plan to scrape more.

Deduplicate on the stable id field before writing to your CRM or spreadsheet.
