# Search Malt freelancers

Automatically search Malt freelancers on malt.com. Search Malt freelancers by keyword and city, using a Malt freelancer account (not a client/recruiter account) that is logged in. Returns the first page (up to 24) of matching profiles with rate, location, availability, rating, badges and skills. Malt may rate-limit repeated automated searches within one session, even while logged in — the script raises a clear error naming this when it happens.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/malt.com/search_freelancers`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/malt.com/search_freelancers
```

## Input

- `query` (string, required): Free-text keyword or skill, e.g. "React developer"
- `location` (string, required): City name to search near, e.g. "London" or "Paris" (optionally with its country, "Paris, France"). Only a Malt city suggestion named exactly this is used; when none or several match, the run refuses and lists the suggestions.

## Output

- `profiles` (array, optional)
- `totalElements` (integer | null, optional): Total freelancers matching the query, as reported by Malt (only the first page of profiles is returned)
- `resolvedLocation` (string | null, optional): The city suggestion that was selected, as Malt displays it (e.g. "Lyon, France").
