Overview
Freelancermap Experts Scraper
Scrape expert profiles from Freelancermap by skill, country, or remote availability, up to a million per run. Each profile returns the freelancer's name, title, skills, hourly rate, location, and contact details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Freelancermap's expert directory is a go-to source for finding IT freelancers in Europe, but manually searching and copying profiles is slow. This Actor reads the public expert search results directly, filtering by skill keywords, country, and remote preference, and returns each match in one consistent row. It is built for recruiters, staffing agencies, and sales teams who need a clean list of freelancer contacts without writing any code.

| IT recruiters | Build a target list of freelancers with a specific skill set in a given country. |
| Staffing agencies | Monitor the available talent pool for niche roles like SAP consultants or DevOps engineers. |
| Sales teams | Find independent contractors who may need tools, services, or insurance. |
| Market analysts | Track the supply of freelance expertise by region and skill over time. |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your search keyword. Try a broader term or remove the country and remote filters to see if any profiles match. Also verify the spelling of the skill.
The run finished but only collected a few profiles.
Freelancermap may have a limited number of experts for your specific combination of skill, country, and remote preference. Try relaxing the filters.
Some fields are empty in my output.
Not every freelancer fills out all profile fields. Empty cells mean the information was not provided on their public profile.
The Actor is taking a long time.
Large searches with high maxItems values take longer. The Actor respects the website's performance, so it will process profiles at a steady, polite rate.
I get an error about the input.
Ensure the 'maxItems' field is a positive integer. The 'query' field should be a simple text string without special characters.
