How It Works
- Trigger Cloud Scraper
- The workflow uses your Apify Task ID and API token to start a scraping task that fetches Upwork job listings in real time.
- Parse and Format Data
- A Python code node converts the raw JSON response into a clean array of job objects with title, URL, budget, and full description.
- Iterate Over Jobs
- The workflow loops through each job object to process them sequentially for data extraction and sheet appending.
- Flatten Job Details
- Each job’s details are converted into a fixed-order string array matching the Google Sheet columns.
- Append to Google Sheets
- The formatted job data is appended as a new row in your specified Google Sheet, building your archive automatically.
