FAQ
Does Catalayer scrape Upwork?
Upwork's terms prohibit most scraping; Catalayer integrates via their permitted API + RSS where available. Monitoring is not scraping.
What's the realistic alert volume?
10-50 alerts per day per monitor depending on specificity. Most freelancers run 3-5 narrow monitors = 20-50 total alerts/day.
Can I connect Catalayer to my Upwork profile directly?
Not required. Monitor tracks public job posts; you apply via Upwork as normal.
