Freelancer project search
Open projects on Freelancer.com for keywords, skills, project type, budget, hourly rate, client country and language, sorted by latest, bid count or average bid. Each project: id, title, status, type, full description, currency, budget range, hourly commitment, bid count and average bid, bidding period, skills, language, submitted and updated times, upgrades (featured, urgent, sealed, NDA, full-time), location for local jobs, attachments and link. Pass next_page back as page; null on the last page.
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/freelancer/v1/search?q=python" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/freelancer/v1/search",
params={"q": "python"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/freelancer/v1/search");
url.searchParams.set("q", "python");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
