What you can do with it

1. Pull the latest all-jobs feed for market scanning

In plain English: Watch what freelancers and agencies are hiring for right now — without typing a keyword first.

To run this, all you fill in are a few fields in the Apify input form:

Field	What to enter
Keywords	Leave empty
Max items	e.g. `20`
Sort	`recency`

Click Start. The Actor calls the Cloud Run worker, which opens the public Upwork search surface, solves the Cloudflare challenge path, and writes the newest public listings into a clean table:

Title	Job type	Budget	Proposals	Client country
Go High Level Specialist	hourly	$15–$25/hr	5 to 10	United States
Real Estate Listing Marketing Strategist	fixed	$500	Less than 5	Canada

Every row has the fields you need for research or outreach lists. Download as Excel, CSV, or JSON, or pipe the Dataset into Make / n8n / Zapier.

2. Track demand for a niche skill or tool

In plain English: See how many public jobs mention tools like n8n, LangChain, or Shopify — and what clients are offering.

Field	What to enter
Keywords	e.g. `n8n automation`
Max pages per keyword	`1`–`3`
Max items	e.g. `50`

You get titles, skills, budgets, proposal pressure, and client signals so you can compare niches without manual copying.

3. Build agency lead lists from public budgets and client spend

In plain English: Filter for jobs that show public budget and client country/spend signals, then export for CRM or Sheets.

Field	What to enter
Keywords	Optional niche phrases
Scrape details	`true` when you need extra public detail fields
Max detail items	e.g. `5`

Detail enrichment visits a bounded number of public job pages. It is slower; keep maxDetailItems small on first runs.

4. Feed freelancing alerts into automation tools

In plain English: Run on a schedule and push new Upwork listings into Slack, Telegram, Google Sheets, or a database.

Platform	How to connect
Make.com	Apify → Run Actor → `lentic_clockss/upwork-jobs-scraper`
n8n	Apify node → Run Actor
Zapier	Apify integration → Run Actor
Python / JS	Apify client SDK (example below)

5. Compare hourly vs fixed-price competition

In plain English: Capture jobType, rate ranges, fixed prices, and proposal midpoints so you can estimate competition density without opening dozens of browser tabs.

How to use (no code required)

Click Try for free
Leave keywords empty for the full public feed, or add up to 10 phrases
Set maxItems for cost control (start with 5–20)
Keep Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy enabled (required)
Click Start and open the Dataset

That's the whole workflow: choose scope, start, download. The free monthly Apify credit is enough for small canaries before you scale.

Owner / operator note: configure the CAPSOLVER_API_KEY secret once in Actor settings. Never put the key in run input.

What you get back

Each Dataset item can include:

Job identity — job ID, title, description snippet, canonical URL
Search context — keyword used (all when unfiltered), page, source search URL
Budget — hourly min/max or fixed price when public
Competition — proposal range text + normalized midpoint
Skills & level — public skill tags and experience level when present
Client signals — country, total spend bucket, hire rate, payment-verified flag when public
Timestamp — collection time

Missing public values stay empty/null. The Actor does not invent data.

Run artifacts in Key-Value Store:

Artifact	What it is
`INPUT_ECHO`	Normalized input (`presetKeywords: []`, collection scope)
`RUN_SUMMARY`	Pages succeeded/blocked, proxy mode, counts
`ERROR_SUMMARY`	Structured failure if the run cannot collect trustworthy rows

Data source and boundary

Mode	Source
All current jobs	Public Upwork search feed without `q`
Keyword search	Public Upwork search with optional `q`
Optional details	Public job detail pages (bounded)

Browser path: Patchright Chrome + sticky Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy
Cloudflare Challenge solving: CapSolver AntiCloudflareTask (same sticky proxy + user agent)
No login, no messaging, no private account data
Page structure and anti-bot rules change; start small and keep budgets bounded

Free Apify plan limits (set by this Actor's developer)

Limit	Free Apify plan	Paid Apify plan
Runs of this Actor	10 runs total	Unlimited
Jobs per run (`maxItems`)	Up to 500	Up to 500

When the run cap is hit, the run finishes with a clear status message — not an Apify platform error.

Pricing

Pay per event. No subscription.

Free Apify plan: up to 10 runs of this Actor and 500 jobs per run. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs. (Limits set by the Actor developer.)

Event	Price	When charged
`apify-actor-start`	$0.005	Once when a normal run starts
`apify-default-dataset-item`	$2.00 / 1,000 ($0.002 each)	Each Dataset item written

User pays platform usage costs: Yes (compute, residential proxy, etc. billed to the user when platform billing is active).

Real-world examples:

Scenario	Approx. product charge
Canary: 5 jobs	$0.005 + 5 × $0.002 = $0.015
Daily niche scan: 100 jobs	$0.005 + $0.20 = $0.205
1,000 jobs	$0.005 + $2.00 = $2.005

Cost scales mostly with results. Platform usage (especially residential proxy) is separate and depends on run duration/memory.

Live View endpoints

When Standby / Live View is enabled, the service exposes a small OpenAPI surface:

Endpoint	Purpose
`GET /`	Readiness
`GET /health`	Health
`GET /input-example`	Low-cost example input
`GET /openapi.json`	Deployed OpenAPI document

Collection still runs through a normal Actor run — Live View does not scrape Upwork by itself.

FAQ

Do I need an Upwork account?
No. The Actor only reads public pages.

Are there preset keywords?
No. Empty keywords collect the unfiltered public feed.

Why is residential proxy required?
Upwork is protected by Cloudflare. CapSolver Challenge solving and the browser must share a sticky Apify RESIDENTIAL session.

What if a page is blocked?
The run fails closed when it cannot produce trustworthy rows. It does not fake an empty success after hard blocks.

Can I scrape private proposals or messages?
No.

How fresh is the data?
As fresh as the public search page at run time.

I'm on the free Apify plan — are there limits?
Yes. Free Apify plan users get 10 runs of this Actor and up to 500 jobs per run. These limits are set by the Actor developer (not Apify). When you hit the run cap, the run finishes with a clear status message — it is not a platform bug. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs.
