POST /api/freelancer/users

Price: 1 credit

Get a Freelancer.com profile by username, numeric id or profile URL: display name, tagline, description, company, hourly rate, currency, location, timezone, skills, membership, badges and exam qualifications with score and percentile, account verifications, and full reputation broken down by quality, communication, expertise, professionalism, on-time and on-budget over all time, the last 3 and the last 12 months — both as a freelancer and as an employer.

How to use it

Fetch one Freelancer.com user. Accepts a username (subhraniljana), a numeric user id (11070607) or a profile URL. Returns id, alias, display_name, tagline, description, company, role, hourly_rate, primary_currency, location, timezone, skills, qualifications (exams with score_percentage and user_percentile), badges, membership, verification flags, portfolio_count, responsiveness, is_preferred_freelancer, registered_at, and reputation plus employer_reputation. Each reputation has entire_history, last_3_months and last_12_months with overall, review_count, completion_rate, rehire_rate, on_time, on_budget and per-category ratings, plus earnings_score and job_history. Use the Freelancer user reviews and portfolio endpoints for the individual reviews and work samples.

Errors

• 422 — The request body did not validate Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — User not found Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
