💰 Pricing

You pay $2.50 per 1,000 opportunities saved ($0.0025 each), plus the small platform usage of the run (compute and proxy traffic). Runs are light: one request returns up to 50 opportunities. Example: 1,000 opportunities cost about $2.51: $2.50 in result fees plus about one cent of usage (measured on our test runs). Turning on the full opportunity record does not change the result price. You can cap any run with a maximum total charge, and the scraper stops cleanly when it is reached.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Unstop? The scraper only collects public information that Unstop shows to every visitor without logging in. Check that your use of the data respects Unstop's terms and the data protection rules that apply to you.

Do I need an Unstop account or a proxy? No account is needed. The default datacenter proxy works well. If Unstop starts refusing requests, the run moves to residential exits in India by itself.

How many results can I get? As many as Unstop lists. Set Max results to 0 for no limit. Unstop pages through at most 10,000 results for one search, so very broad searches (for example all jobs with any status) stop there. Split them by status, keyword, type or filter to reach more.

Why is a field empty? Unstop doesn't show every field for every opportunity. For example, jobs rarely have prizes, events have no salary, and companies can hide the salary. Empty fields come back as null or an empty list.

Can I run it on a schedule or through the API? Yes. Schedule it daily to catch new opportunities, and use the API or integrations to send the results to Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks or your database.

I used a similar actor on another platform. Will my input work? Mostly yes. opportunityTypes, startUrls and maxResults work the same way, and a single searchKeyword string is accepted too.

⚠️ Limits

• Unstop serves at most 10,000 results for one search. Narrow the search to go further.
• The location filter is Unstop's own for jobs and internships. For events and competitions, the scraper keeps the ones whose venue city or state matches, so online events without a venue are left out when you set a location.
• Prize, salary and experience fields are only as complete as the organizer filled them in on Unstop.
• Organizer pages (unstop.com/c/...), user profiles, courses and mentor listings are not covered.
