Thumbtack Pros Scraper — Reviews, Ratings & Deep Profile Data

Find and extract Thumbtack service professionals by keyword and location — business name, star rating, review count, hire count, badges, pricing, service areas and highlighted reviews. Scrape full profiles with about text, services offered, payment methods and FAQs for deep market research.

Main Use Cases

• Home-services lead buyers — structured local pro listings and engagement indicators
• SaaS and contractor tools — contractor directory enrichment and profile data
• Local market research — service-category market sizing and competitive mapping
• Competitive analysis — ratings, badges, pricing signals and highlighted reviews for benchmarking
• Review analysis — extract pro reviews with business replies for reputation research
• Service-area mapping — understand which pros serve which neighborhoods

Deep Profile Enrichment

Unlike directory-only scrapers, this actor fetches each pro's profile through Thumbtack's own internal API, returning about text, service areas, years in business, employee count, Top Pro and background-check flags, offered services, payment methods, up to hundreds of reviews, business replies and FAQs. It works with structured JSON (not brittle selectors), so it keeps working even when the site's layout changes. No browser is needed — profiles are fetched over plain HTTPS in seconds.

Output Fields

One dataset item is produced per profile in the default dataset. Reviews are stored separately: one item per review in the dedicated Reviews dataset (visible in the run's Storage and Output tabs).

How It Works

1. You provide Thumbtack pro profile URLs
2. The actor queries Thumbtack's internal GraphQL API over plain HTTPS — fast and browser-free
3. Reviews are fetched page by page until maxReviews (or all reviews) are collected
4. Requests go direct first; if the IP gets blocked, the actor automatically retries through Apify Proxy
5. If the API is unavailable, it falls back to parsing the structured JSON embedded in the HTML page
6. Results are saved to two datasets: one item per profile in the default Pros dataset and one item per review in the dedicated Reviews dataset

FAQ

What's the difference between Thumbtack Scraper and Thumbtack Pros Scraper?

Thumbtack Scraper = faster directory pulls (names, ratings, badges). Thumbtack Pros Scraper = deeper profile enrichment (about text, services, reviews, FAQs, payment methods).

Can I scrape reviews from multiple pros?

Yes. Provide multiple profile URLs and set maxReviews to control how many reviews per profile. Reviews are saved as individual items in the separate Reviews dataset.

Do I need residential proxies?

Usually not. The actor uses Thumbtack's internal API, which is accessible from regular IPs. If requests are ever blocked, the actor automatically retries through Apify Proxy (RESIDENTIAL by default) and uses HTML parsing as a last resort. The default configuration works out of the box.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Extract deep Thumbtack pro profiles — ratings, reviews, services, payment methods, FAQs and business replies.

Minimal working input:

{
  "profileUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.thumbtack.com/ca/menlo-park/house-cleaning/hilda-chavez-cleaning-services/service/548048316559269891" }],
  "maxReviews": 20
}

Output fields: Profiles dataset: businessName, rating, numReviews, reviewQualifier, badge, numHires, businessFacts, about, serves, services, paymentInfo, faqs, businessHours, location, searchTerm, isTopPro, isOnline, yearsInBusiness, numEmployees, profileUrl, scrapedAt. Reviews dataset (one item per review): businessName, profileUrl, servicePk, location, searchTerm, reviewer, rating, date, source, text, jobDetails, response, scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• profileUrls is required — direct pro profile URLs, not listing pages.
• One dataset item per profile in the default dataset; every review is a separate item in the dedicated reviews dataset.
• maxReviews controls review depth per profile (0 = every review).
• No browser or residential proxy needed by default; blocking is handled automatically with proxy retries.

Billing: ~$3 per 1,000 profiles ($0.003 per result) + $1 per 1,000 reviews ($0.001 per review).
