Send the page URL and the recipe name to the Scrape API. The recipe brings the extract rules and the settings that work on Upwork (JavaScript rendering).

# Example output:

const params = new URLSearchParams({

  recipe: "upwork",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape?${params}`, {
  headers: { ApiKey: process.env.UJEEBU_API_KEY },
});
const { result } = await res.json();
for (const item of result.projects.slice(0, 3)) {
  console.log(item.title, item.skills, item.posted);
}
// Example output:

The answer is {"result": {...}} with the headers Ujb-Recipe and Ujb-Credits. Your own parameters always win over the recipe.

FAQ

What does the Upwork recipe return?

JSON with 4 fields from search results (recipe=upwork), for example title, skills, posted, url. The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields shown on this page.

How much does it cost to scrape Upwork?

5 credits a page ($0.50 per 1,000 on Pro, $0.82 on Starter). Same price as the page call, no fee for the recipe. Only successful responses are billed; blocked, timed-out and failed requests are free.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

No. The recipe brings the settings that work on Upwork: JavaScript rendering. Send only the URL and recipe=upwork.

What happens when Upwork changes its pages?

We check Upwork every day and re-validate the recipe on real pages every week, then fix it when the site changes. Until a fix is live, the API answers 404 "the recipe has no working version" instead of empty data, and that call is free.

Can I change the fields?

Yes. Send your own extract_rules or any setting (js, proxy_type, wait_for) and it wins over the recipe. The developer guide shows the recipe rules to start from.
