town	string	–	Optional town within the county (mode=directory)
profileUrls	array	–	Tradesperson profile URLs or slugs (mode=profile)

Finding county/town slugs

Visit myjobquote.co.uk/all-trades, pick a trade, then a county and (optionally) a town from the directory pages — the URL path segments (/<trade>/<county>/<town>) are exactly the slugs to use as input.

Use cases

• Local-services lead generation — build prospect lists of verified UK tradespeople by trade and region
• Market research — benchmark tradesperson density, ratings, and review volume by county
• Competitive intelligence — track business longevity (established year, join date) and verification status across a trade
• Directory aggregation — mirror UK home-improvement trade listings for a comparison site

FAQ

Do I need an account? No — every field comes from MyJobQuote's public, unauthenticated directory and profile pages.

How many results can directory mode return? MyJobQuote's public county/town directory pages server-render ~20 tradespeople on first load; the actor automatically pages through the site's own public "load more trades" endpoint (no login required) to fetch further pages, up to maxItems or however many the trade/county/town combination genuinely has (a broad trade in a large county can return 100+; a niche trade in a small town may only have a handful). Narrow to a specific town for a more targeted result set for that area, or run multiple towns.

Are phone numbers included? No — MyJobQuote is a lead-generation platform; contact details are only revealed after a homeowner submits a job request through their site, so no public phone/email field exists.

What does idChecked mean? MyJobQuote displays an "ID checked" badge on profiles where the tradesperson has completed the platform's identity-verification step.

Why do some tradespeople have no rating/reviewCount? Those fields are only emitted when the tradesperson has at least one published review — we never fabricate a 0 rating for unreviewed businesses.

How fresh is the data? Real-time — every run re-fetches the live directory and profile pages.
