Frequently asked questions
Which countries and categories does this cover?
Freelancer.com is a global marketplace, so projects come from clients worldwide and span every category from web development and data entry to logo design and writing. You filter by keyword and skill rather than by country, and budgets are returned in each project's own currency.
How many projects can I collect in one run?
You can collect as many active projects as match your search, up to the maxItems limit you set. A single keyword like python typically has dozens to a few hundred active projects at any moment, and the scraper pages through them fifty at a time.
Can I filter by fixed price or hourly, by skill, or by budget?
Yes. Use projectTypes to keep only fixed price or hourly projects, jobs to pass one or more numeric skill IDs, and minBudget to drop projects whose average budget falls below a threshold. Leave a filter empty to ignore it.
Why is the employer or client name missing?
Freelancer.com withholds the project owner identity on public unauthenticated reads, so client name, rating and country are not available through the public listings. The scraper never invents them. Turning on the include employer option leaves that field null by design.
What happens when a field has no value?
Missing values are returned as null and never guessed. Hourly fields are null on fixed price projects, and budgetMax can be null when the client did not set an upper bound. Each record carries an error field that is null on success.
