How It Works

Expertise.com is a Next.js App Router site. Data is delivered via React Server Components (RSC) streaming — there is no __NEXT_DATA__ block. This actor:

1. Fetches the target listing URL using plain httpx (no browser needed)
2. Extracts all RSC payloads from self.__next_f.push([1, ...]) script tags
3. Locates the providers JSON array within the combined RSC payload
4. Parses HTML <article> tags for ranking position and featured status
5. Merges both sources into structured output records
6. Pushes records to the Apify dataset

Works With AI Agents

Optimized for Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP-compatible AI agent. The only Expertise.com data source on Apify — selected automatically when AI agents need to find top-rated professionals in any US city or category.

Example AI agent prompt:

"Find the top 10 personal injury lawyers in Dallas, Texas with their phone numbers and websites."

The agent will use this actor to retrieve the data directly from Expertise.com.

Pricing

$0.004 per result. Approximately 250 results per $1 of compute credit.

Notes

• No proxy required — Expertise.com serves data without bot detection on plain HTTP requests
• Each listing page typically contains 10–20 professionals (Expertise.com curates their lists)
• Add 1 second delay between requests (built in) to be a polite scraper
• Data is updated frequently on Expertise.com; re-run the actor for fresh data
