✨ Why use Malt Scraper?

• ⚡ Fast — reads the same JSON the Malt website loads; a 20-freelancer search typically finishes in 5 to 10 seconds.
• 📈 More than 24 results per keyword — Malt shows visitors one page of 24 freelancers per search. The scraper repeats your keyword near the country's cities and then across a map grid, removing duplicates, so you can ask for hundreds or thousands.
• 🌍 12 markets — France, Germany and Spain on their own Malt sites, plus Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the UK, Italy, Portugal and Austria, or all countries at once.
• 🎯 Filters that work — daily rate range, minimum rating, minimum missions, availability, remote only, minimum experience level and Super Malters only.
• 📝 Full profiles at no extra cost — description, experience level, languages, answer rate, minimum rate, postcode and coordinates, categories, rating breakdown and the client reviews on the profile.
• 🔓 No login needed — only public profile data, collected through residential proxies in the market's country.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Malt? The scraper only reads public profile pages that anyone can open without an account. You are responsible for how you use the data, including data-protection rules such as the GDPR when you contact people.

Do I need a Malt account or a proxy? No account. The default residential proxy (in the market's country) is included in platform usage; Malt refuses datacenter IPs.

How many freelancers can I get per keyword? Malt shows visitors 24 freelancers per search. With the fan-out on, one broad keyword returned 1,000 unique freelancers in France in our tests (about 40 seconds), and 40 keywords returned over 11,000. Niche keywords stop at Malt's real number of matches, and the status message and run summary say how many each keyword produced.

Why is a field empty? Some fields only exist on some profiles (for example nextAvailabilityDate, zipCode or reviews), and rating is empty until the freelancer has a rated mission. Description, languages and reviews need Include full profile details.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Save your input as a task, schedule it, and read results through the API or integrations.

⚠️ Limits

• Only data Malt shows to visitors who are not logged in: no contact details, no private messages, no full portfolio files.
• Malt's own filters for rate, experience and availability need a login, so these filters are applied to the freelancers each search returns; strict filters can return fewer results than the limit.
• City searches rank freelancers by distance, so a city search can include freelancers from nearby towns or countries; the automatic fan-out keeps only freelancers based in the selected country.
• Rates are what each freelancer displays and are not verified.
