# Taskora

> Taskora (https://freelance.adscaled.media) is a working demo of a freelance marketplace, designed and built by AdScaled, a digital agency in Prague, Czech Republic. It has talent and job search, freelancer profiles with case studies, proposals, contracts with milestone escrow, messages, reviews and dashboards. Every person, company, job, review and amount on it is fictional demo data, and payments are simulated: no real money is charged or paid out.

The site is in English only. Every public page is also available as Markdown: send `Accept: text/markdown` or append `.md` to the path (`/index.md` for the home page), as linked below. Pages are marked noindex on purpose because the data is fictional.

**When to use Taskora:**

- to show or study how a complete freelance marketplace flow works (search, proposal, contract, funded milestones, approval, release, reviews), for example as a product, UX or onboarding reference;
- to test an agent or an integration against a realistic, read-only marketplace catalog API that returns fictional data and needs no account;
- to see an example of the web products AdScaled builds before asking the agency for a similar marketplace, portal or web application.

**When not to use Taskora:** never to hire a real freelancer, find real paid work, check a real person's reputation or quote real market rates. The profiles, companies and jobs do not exist, and the contact form of the demo does not store or forward messages. For a real project, contact AdScaled at contact@adscaled.media or https://www.adscaled.media/en/contact.

**Signed-in features:** visitors can try the client, freelancer and admin flows with the shared demo accounts offered in the demo panel on the site. Do not create accounts with real personal data.

**API and rate limits:** the read-only catalog API is described in OpenAPI 3.1 at https://freelance.adscaled.media/api/openapi.json, documented at https://freelance.adscaled.media/api/docs (Markdown with `Accept: text/markdown`) and listed in the RFC 9727 catalog at https://freelance.adscaled.media/.well-known/api-catalog. All /api paths share 600 requests per minute per client IP; responses carry the IETF `RateLimit-Policy` and `RateLimit` headers, and a `429` adds `Retry-After` in seconds: wait that long, do not retry in a loop.

**API versioning and deprecation:** The API is versioned in the URL path: the current major version is v1 (`/api/v1/...`, OpenAPI `info.version` 1.x). Additive, backward-compatible changes (new operations, optional parameters or response fields) keep v1 and raise the minor version in `info.version`. Breaking changes (removed or renamed fields, operations or parameters, changed types or meanings) are only released under a new major version path such as `/api/v2/`, and the previous version keeps working alongside it. Deprecated operations are marked `deprecated: true` in the OpenAPI description and announced in this documentation and in /llms.txt, and their responses then carry the `Deprecation` header (RFC 9745) and a `Sunset` header with the shutdown date (RFC 8594), plus a `Link` with `rel="deprecation"` pointing to these docs. A deprecated operation stays available for at least 90 days after the deprecation is announced. The unversioned `/api/...` paths are the same v1 handlers kept for compatibility; new integrations should use `/api/v1/`. No operation is deprecated today.
