# Upwork research

Search Upwork job postings and pull freelancer profiles — all as
normalized JSON from the Crawlora API, no scraping Upwork's pages by hand.

## When to use this skill

- "Search Upwork for <skill/role> jobs." — free-text keyword search over
  public job listings.
- "Show me this Upwork job posting." — full detail (budget, description,
  client history) for one posting by id.
- "Look up this Upwork freelancer." — profile, hourly rate, Job Success
  Score, ratings, and recent client feedback by freelancer id.
- "What's the going rate for <skill> on Upwork?" — collect budgets across
  search results to estimate a market rate.
- "Vet this freelancer before hiring." — pull their profile and feedback
  history in one call.

## Setup (one-time)

- Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at [https://crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-skills).
- Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` in the environment before running the helper.
- The helper reads `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` from the environment and sends requests to `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`. Missing/invalid key → `401`.

## How it works

1. **Search** — `/upwork/search` takes a free-text keyword (`q`) and returns
   normalized job summaries (title, budget, experience level, duration,
   posted date, description snippet, skill tags), paginated via `page`.
2. **Job detail** — take an `id` from a search result and call
   `/upwork/job/{id}` for the full posting: description, employment type,
   budget (hourly range or fixed amount), location/remote type, experience
   level, duration, project type, proposal count, allowed applicant
   countries, and a summary of the posting client (member since, location,
   spend, hires, hours, industry, company size).
3. **Freelancer profile** — `/upwork/freelancer/{id}` returns a normalized
   profile: name, title, verification badge, overview, hourly rate, rating
   and review count, Job Success Score, location and local time, total
   jobs/hours worked, and recent client feedback (title, comment, date,
   client name, rating).

Full endpoint list, methods, and params: [`reference/endpoints.md`](reference/endpoints.md).

## Calling the API

```sh
# Search jobs by keyword:
scripts/crawlora.sh /upwork/search q="react developer" | jq '.'

# Job detail (id from a search result):
scripts/crawlora.sh /upwork/job/<job_id> | jq '.'

# Freelancer profile (id from a search result or a known profile):
scripts/crawlora.sh /upwork/freelancer/<freelancer_id> | jq '.'
```

# upwork-research — endpoint reference

> Generated from `scripts/tools.json` by `scripts/generate.mjs` — do not edit by hand.

Endpoints this skill uses, grouped by platform. Call them via `scripts/crawlora.sh` (see SKILL.md).

All paths are relative to the API base `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1` and require the header `x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY`. Path params like `{id}` are substituted into the URL; `GET` params go in the query string; `POST` params go in a JSON body.

**3 endpoints across 1 platform group(s).**

## Description:

Researches Upwork job postings and freelancer profiles via the Crawlora API, returning normalized JSON for job search, job detail, freelancer profile lookup, rate checks, and freelancer vetting.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[crawlora-org](https://clawhub.ai/user/crawlora-org)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

External users, developers, and hiring teams use this skill to research public Upwork jobs and freelancer profiles, estimate market rates, and review freelancer history before outreach or hiring decisions.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The skill sends Upwork search terms, job IDs, freelancer IDs, and the Crawlora API key to Crawlora.

Mitigation: Use it only for intended public Upwork research, keep CRAWLORA_API_KEY in the environment, and avoid private Upwork pages or account data.

Risk: Undocumented API routes or methods could broaden what the helper sends.

Mitigation: The included helper is limited to documented GET routes for Upwork search, job detail, and freelancer profile lookup.

Risk: API keys can leak through command history or process listings if passed as arguments.

Mitigation: The helper reads CRAWLORA_API_KEY from the environment and supplies it to curl through a private temporary config file.
