freelancermap Projects Scraper

Scrape IT freelance projects from freelancermap, one of the largest project boards for freelancers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This freelancermap scraper reads the newest projects of freelancermap.de (Germany, about 12,700 open projects), freelancermap.at (Austria), freelancermap.ch (Switzerland) and the English freelancermap.com (projects outside the DACH countries), and gives every project with its title, company, contract type (freelance, employee leasing / ANÜ, permanent), remote share in %, start, duration in months, workload, budget when the poster gives one, city and country, industry, skills in English and German and the full description.

Filter by keyword or skill, contract type, remote / hybrid / on site, minimum remote share, city, end-client projects only and posted within, or paste project links. No login, no browser, no proxy. Pay only for the projects you get.

What you can do with this freelancermap scraper

• IT staffing and consulting: every new SAP, Java, cloud or project-management project in Germany, Austria and Switzerland the day it is posted, with its start, duration, remote share and who posted it.
• Demand and rate research: which skills, contract types and remote shares the DACH market asks for, week by week.
• Freelancer project alerts: schedule it daily with Posted within and Only new projects and receive only the projects posted since the last run — end-client projects only, if agencies are not for you.
• Lead lists: the companies and agencies posting projects now, with their freelancermap profile link.

A search or link that gives nothing adds one free row with rowType: "status", a status (no_results, not_found, invalid, blocked) and a reason such as "freelancermap.at lists 1 project posted within the last 1 day, 1 read: 1 with another contract type." The run's SUMMARY record counts the projects listed, the pages read and what each filter left out.

Limits

• freelancermap shows visitors only the first page of any search (the next pages ask to register), so this Actor does not use its search. It reads the project list freelancermap publishes for search engines (its sitemaps) newest first, opens each project page and applies your filters on its side. A narrow filter therefore reads more pages than it delivers: about one German project in five names SAP, Java or Python. Posted within shortens the walk.
• Projects come newest first by posting time. With several sites, the projects of one day follow the order of the sites you chose.
• Search pages are not accepted as links, for the same reason; paste project pages.
• Two requests a second, one IP, no proxy: 100 projects without filters take about a minute.

Is it legal to scrape freelancermap?

This Actor reads only public project pages anyone can open without an account, at a gentle pace; freelancermap's robots.txt allows crawling, and the Actor does not log in or pass any registration wall. It collects project postings, not freelancer profiles, and leaves out the poster's name. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with the laws and terms that apply to you. This Actor is unofficial and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by freelancermap or its operator.
