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 ## TaskRabbit Scraper Public TaskRabbit (`taskrabbit.com`) tasker scraper. Pull the featured taskers that TaskRabbit surfaces on each city + service page — including their rating, review count, completed tasks, Elite status, photo, and bio — all without a login, cookies, or proxy. ### What you get For every tasker the scraper extracts: - `taskerId` — TaskRabbit's internal numeric ID - `name` — display name (first name + initial, e.g. `Alejandro C.`) - `averageRating` — 0–5 stars - `reviewsCount` — total reviews received - `tasksCount` — total tasks completed - `isElite` — `true` if marked Elite by TaskRabbit - `photoUrl` — Cloudinary-hosted profile photo - `bio` — self-written description (when present) - `serviceSlug` / `serviceName` — the service the tasker was featured for (e.g. `assemble-furniture` / `Furniture Assembly`) - `citySlug` / `city` / `state` / `country` — the metro the tasker was featured in - `sourceUrl` — the exact TaskRabbit page each record came from - `recordType` — always `tasker` - `scrapedAt` — ISO-8601 UTC timestamp All empty fields are stripped — your dataset never contains `null`, `""`, or `[]` values. ### Modes | Mode | What it does | Required input | |---|---|---| | `search` | Free-text query → the actor extracts a city + service from the phrase and scrapes them | `searchQuery` | | `byCity` | List featured taskers across all services for a city | `city` (or `cities`) | | `byCategory` | List featured taskers for a service, including the national page and top metros | `category` (or `categories`) | | `byCityAndCategory` | Drilldown: explicit (city × service) matrix | `city` + `category` (or `cities` + `categories`) | | `byUrls` | Paste TaskRabbit URLs directly | `startUrls` | The `city` and `category` inputs are **dropdowns** populated with TaskRabbit's full taxonomy — 171 US metros and 20 service categories — so you do not have to guess slugs. #### Supported URL patterns (mode = `byUrls`) - `https://www.taskrabbit.com/locations/{city}/{service}` (e.g. `…/los-angeles/assemble-furniture`) - `https://www.taskrabbit.com/near-me/{service}` (national page for a service) - `https://www.taskrabbit.com/locations/{city}` (location page — expanded automatically into the top services for that city) ### Filters | Filter | Type | What it does | |---|---|---| | `minRating` / `maxRating` | 0–5 | Range filter on `averageRating` | | `minReviewCount` | integer | Drop taskers with fewer reviews than this | | `minTasksCount` | integer | Drop taskers with fewer completed tasks than this | | `eliteOnly` | boolean | Keep only Elite-flagged taskers | | `containsKeyword` | string | Case-insensitive substring filter over name + bio + service + city | | `sortBy` | enum | `default`, `rating-desc`, `review-count-desc`, `tasks-count-desc`, `name-asc` | | `maxItems` | integer (1–1000) | Hard cap on emitted records | ### Example inputs Search by phrase: ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "house cleaning chicago", "maxItems": 20 } ```` Drilldown on (city × service): ```json { "mode": "byCityAndCategory", "cities": ["los-angeles", "san-francisco", "new-york-city"], "categories": ["assemble-furniture", "help-moving"], "minRating": 4.5, "sortBy": "tasks-count-desc", "maxItems": 50 } ``` Direct URL: ```json { "mode": "byUrls", "startUrls": [ "https://www.taskrabbit.com/locations/austin/general-handyman", "https://www.taskrabbit.com/near-me/junk-removal" ], "maxItems": 30 } ``` ### Output sample ```json { "taskerId": 5923230, "name": "Alejandro C.", "averageRating": 5.0, "reviewsCount": 2984, "tasksCount": 4649, "isElite": false, "photoUrl": "https://res.cloudinary.com/taskrabbit-com/image/upload/azshsq1zulzfymkvabel", "bio": "I moved to many states and many new places in my life. As a result I have had to move around and assemble lots of furniture…", "serviceSlug": "assemble-furniture", "serviceName": "Furniture Assembly", "citySlug": "los-angeles", "city": "Los Angeles", "state": "CA", "country": "US", "sourceUrl": "https://www.taskrabbit.com/locations/los-angeles/assemble-furniture", "recordType": "tasker", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-21T20:32:11.847295+00:00" } ``` ### Data source This actor reads only **public TaskRabbit pages** that are reachable without a login: - `/locations/{city}/{service}` — city + service drilldown (featured taskers panel) - `/near-me/{service}` — national featured taskers panel - `/locations/{city}` — city landing page The actor parses the Next.js `__NEXT_DATA__` payload embedded in every page. Each page features the top ~6 taskers for that (city, service) combo, so a single run can sample across many metros and services and aggregate hundreds of distinct taskers. Tasker count per metro/service is also captured (`taskerCount` from TaskRabbit's own page header). ### FAQ **Do I need a TaskRabbit account, an API key, or a proxy?** No. Everything used here is publicly served HTML. **Will this scrape every tasker on TaskRabbit?** No — TaskRabbit only publicly surfaces a "featured" subset (typically ~6 taskers per city + service page). The actor extracts that featured set across every city + service combination you choose. There is no public endpoint that lists the full tasker roster. **Why does the scraper output `country: "US"`?** TaskRabbit's `/locations/` index covers US metros only — the international pages live on country-specific Next.js routes that do not currently feature taskers publicly. **How fresh is the data?** TaskRabbit renders these pages server-side from their live database. Each tasker's `averageRating`, `reviewsCount`, and `tasksCount` reflect the live values at fetch time. **What does `isElite` mean?** A TaskRabbit-assigned distinction for taskers with consistently high ratings, high task volume, and low cancellation rates. **Does the actor follow `robots.txt`?** Yes — only public URLs documented above are visited. No login-walled pages are touched. The actor sends a real `User-Agent`, paces requests, and retries on 429/5xx with exponential backoff. ### Limitations - No public hourly-rate field — TaskRabbit shows hourly rate only after you enter the booking flow, so this is not part of the dataset. - No phone/email/last-name — only the public initials and first name are visible. - Profile pages (`/profile/{id}`) require a login and are not scraped. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to scrape. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text query — the actor extracts a city + service from it (e.g. `furniture assembly los angeles`, `house cleaning chicago`). ## `city` (type: `string`): TaskRabbit city slug.
