FAQ
Is it official? No. It reads the same public API the ponisha.ir web app uses for anonymous visitors.
Why are bids slow? Ponisha serves the bids list slowly (seconds, up to 30 s on projects with 100+ bids). Keep limit small.
Why does the budget filter only look at one page? The site has no budget filter. The tool scans up to 50 projects per page and keeps those whose range fits.
