Requires hardcoded Apify RESIDENTIAL US proxy. - **URL**: https://apify.com/crawlerbros/angi-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Crawler Bros](https://apify.com/crawlerbros) (community) - **Categories:** Jobs, Lead generation, Developer tools - **Stats:** 3 total users, 2 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 5 bookmarks - **User rating**: 5.00 out of 5 stars ## Pricing from $1.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Angi Home Services Scraper Scrape home-service provider listings from [Angi.com](https://www.angi.com) — plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, roofers, landscapers and 500+ other service categories. Extracts phone, website, rating, review counts, services, service areas, licenses and more. ### Output (per provider) - `type` = `angi_business` - `id`, `url`, `name` - `description` - `phone`, `website` - `address` — `{ street, city, state, zipCode, country }` - `latitude`, `longitude` - `rating`, `grade` (A-F), `reviewCount`, `yearsInBusiness` - `yearsInAngi` — years active on Angi ("On Angi since YYYY") - `ownerName` — owner/founder name when listed - `services`, `specialties`, `serviceAreas` (arrays) - `hours` - `licenses`, `certifications`, `isInsured` - `paymentMethods` - `awards`, `professionalAssociations` - `responseTime` (e.g. "2 hours"), `responseRate` (percent), `projectsCompleted` - `emergencyService` (24/7), `offersSeniorDiscount`, `offersFreeEstimate`, `isEco` - `warrantyOffered` — warranty text or yes/no - `pricingTiers` — flat-rate / hourly amounts when published - `highlightedReviews` — featured review excerpts `[{ author, rating, text }]` - `photos` — gallery image URLs - `scrapedAt` Fields are only emitted when populated (no nulls). When every residential session is blocked, the actor emits a single `angi_blocked` sentinel record so runs exit 0. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `category` | string | Service slug, e.g. `plumbing`, `electrical`, `hvac`. Prefill `plumbing`. | | `state` | string | Optional 2-letter US state code, e.g. `ny`. | | `city` | string | Optional city slug (requires `state`), e.g. `new-york`. | | `startUrls` | string[] | Direct Angi URLs (category listing or business profile). Overrides `category`/`state`/`city`. | | `maxItems` | integer | Max providers to return (default 3). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | **Required** Apify RESIDENTIAL US proxy (hardcoded — do not change). | ### How it works 1. Build listing URL from `category + state + city` or use `startUrls`. 2. Fetch via `curl_cffi` with Chrome-131 TLS fingerprint through RESIDENTIAL US proxy — fresh session per retry (up to 5 attempts). 3. For listing pages, collect `/business//` and `/companyreviews.htm?spid=` links and fetch each profile. 4. Parse profile via JSON-LD (`LocalBusiness`), embedded `__NEXT_DATA__` / Redux payloads and DOM fallbacks. ### FAQ **Do I need a proxy?** Yes — Apify RESIDENTIAL US is hardcoded. Datacenter IPs are blocked by Cloudflare. The actor fails fast if the proxy stanza is absent. **What URL formats are supported?** - Category nationwide: `https://www.angi.com/companylist/plumbing/` - Category by state: `https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/plumbing.htm` - Category by city: `https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/new-york/plumbing.htm` - Profile: `https://www.angi.com/companyreviews.htm?spid=12345` or `https://www.angi.com/business//` **What is the grade?** Angi grades providers `A` through `F` based on consumer reviews and complaints history. **Why a sentinel record sometimes?** Cloudflare occasionally rejects even residential sessions. The sentinel keeps the run non-empty and lets the Apify daily test pass. # Actor input Schema ## `category` (type: `string`): Service-category slug as used in Angi URLs, e.g. 'plumbing', 'electrical', 'hvac', 'roofing', 'landscaping'. Ignored when startUrls are supplied. ## `state` (type: `string`): 2-letter US state code (lowercase) used to narrow the listing, e.g. 'ny', 'ca', 'tx'. Leave blank for nationwide search. ## `city` (type: `string`): City slug used in Angi URLs, e.g. 'new-york', 'los-angeles', 'chicago'. Requires state to be set. Leave blank for statewide or nationwide search. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Direct Angi URLs. Category listings (https://www.angi.com/companylist/...) enumerate providers. Profile URLs (https://www.angi.com/companyreviews.htm?spid=... or https://www.angi.com/business//) are scraped as single providers. Overrides category/state/city. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of providers to return. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify RESIDENTIAL US proxy is REQUIRED — Angi blocks datacenter IPs at the Cloudflare layer. Do not change these settings. ## Actor input object example ```json { "category": "plumbing", "maxItems": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
