## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Angi Home Services Scraper

Scrape Angi (formerly Angie's List) home-service provider listings by category and location. Supply a service category (e.g. "plumbers", "electricians") and a city/state, or paste direct provider profile URLs, and the actor returns rich business records including phone, website, rating, reviews, service areas, address, and certifications.

### What you get

Each record includes:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `pro_id` | Angi provider ID from the profile URL |
| `business_name` | Business name |
| `angi_url` | Canonical Angi profile URL |
| `service_categories` | Service categories (comma-separated) |
| `description` | Business description / about text |
| `phone` | Phone number |
| `address` | Street address |
| `city` | City |
| `state` | State (2-letter code) |
| `zip` | ZIP code |
| `service_area_zips` | ZIP codes served (comma-separated) |
| `rating` | Average rating (0–5) |
| `reviews_count` | Number of reviews |
| `certified` | Angi-certified flag |
| `founded_year` | Year founded |
| `employees_range` | Employee count range |
| `super_service_award` | Super Service Award flag |
| `awards` | Awards (comma-separated) |
| `hours` | Business hours |
| `email` | Business email |
| `website` | Business website URL |
| `scraped_at` | ISO timestamp |

### How to use

#### Option A — Category + Location Search

Set **Service Category** (e.g. `plumbers`) and **Location** (e.g. `new-york/ny`) and leave Start URLs empty. The actor builds the search URL automatically.

````

Category: plumbers
Location: new-york/ny
Max Items: 50

```

Location format: `{city}/{state}` where city uses hyphens (e.g. `los-angeles/ca`, `chicago/il`, `houston/tx`).

#### Option B — Direct Profile URLs

Paste one or more Angi provider profile URLs into Start URLs. Each URL should look like:

```

https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/nc/pineville/kale-lawn-care-reviews-194023.htm

```

This is the fastest way to scrape specific providers you already know.

#### Option C — Companylist Search URLs

Paste an Angi companylist URL directly — the actor will extract all profile links from the results page and scrape each one.

```

https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/new-york/plumbers.htm

````

### Common service categories

`plumbers`, `electricians`, `hvac`, `landscapers`, `painters`, `roofers`, `general-contractors`, `handyman`, `carpet-cleaning`, `maid-service`, `pest-control`, `tree-service`, `garage-door`, `locksmiths`

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | Array | Angi companylist or pro profile URLs (overrides category/location) |
| `category` | String | Service category slug (e.g. `plumbers`) |
| `location` | String | City/state in URL format (e.g. `new-york/ny`) |
| `certifiedOnly` | Boolean | Only return Angi-certified pros |
| `maxItems` | Integer | Maximum records to return (0 = unlimited) |

### Notes

- Angi uses Cloudflare/WAF protection on provider pages — residential proxy is required and included.
- The actor uses `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON extraction for reliable, structured data.
- HTML DOM fallback ensures resilience against site redesigns.
- Keep `maxItems` reasonable (50–500) for stable runs; large batches may take time due to residential proxy usage.
