FAQ

Common questions

Scraping publicly available data from Upwork is a gray area. Most courts have upheld that public data can be accessed for research purposes. Always respect the platform's ToS, use data for internal research only, and comply with GDPR/CCPA when handling personal information.
For trend monitoring, weekly scrapes capture meaningful changes. For competitive analysis, bi-weekly to monthly is sufficient. The optimal frequency depends on how quickly data changes on the platform.
The Apify actor uses residential proxies and request throttling to minimize blocks. If you experience issues, reduce request volume, increase delays between requests, and consider running scrapes during off-peak hours.
Yes. The output is clean JSON that can be directly imported into Neon (Postgres), Airtable, or any CRM with an API. Use the TypeScript integration code in the skill file to automate the pipeline.
Apify charges ~$0.30 per 1,000 jobs. A typical research run costs $1-5 depending on volume. Compare that to SaaS alternatives at $39/mo — you save $444/yr saved.
