location_remote |
Location or remote status |
posted_date |
Date the job was posted |

apply_url |
Direct apply URL when available |
listing_url |
URL of the job detail page on ProBlogger |
tags |
Job type and category slugs derived from listing metadata |
Usage
- Set Max Items to limit how many job listings are returned. Leave empty to return all active listings.
- Run the actor — it will scrape the listing page and fetch each job detail page for the full description.
Notes
- ProBlogger is the most established curated freelance-writing job board, pre-filtered to paid blogging, copywriting, editing, and ghostwriting gigs. It differentiates from generic job aggregators (Upwork, Freelancer) by requiring employers to post writing-specific roles.
- The board typically shows a few dozen active listings at any time, with high turnover. Running this actor on a schedule is well-suited for writing-job-alert feeds and rate aggregation.
- No authentication required. All listed jobs are publicly accessible.
- The
apply_urlfield is populated only for jobs with an external application link. Many ProBlogger listings direct candidates to apply via the description itself (email, Google Form, etc.).
