## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability freelancer-project-listings-scraper-x402-abdec11f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Freelancer.com for fixed-price projects related to 'React developer' sorted by newest, with a budget of at least $500 and no more than $5000, and return up to 50 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured Freelancer.com project listings — with keyword, category, budget, or job-type filtering — without building your own scraper. Especially suited for market research, lead generation, or automated monitoring of freelance demand. The pay-per-successful-call model makes it cost-effective for bursty or exploratory queries.

## Known failure modes

- No matching projects found — returns empty items array (not charged)
- Invalid category slug returns no results or an error
- Request times out if maxPages is set too high
- startUrl conflict with keyword/category parameters may produce unexpected filtering
- Budget filters too narrow may yield zero results

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count and an array of project records, each containing projectId, projectName, projectDescription (raw and plain text), budgetType, skills, skillIds, and skillsInfo. Empty or failed runs are not charged.
