Angi Email Scraper

Angi Email Scraper

The Angi Email Scraper extracts publicly indexed contractor contacts from Angi and its sister sites using Google search. It queries three domains in one run: angi.com, homeadvisor.com and angieslist.com. That triple coverage is what separates this Actor from every other home-services scraper in the category.

You supply keywords, an optional location and the email domains you care about. It returns a deduplicated dataset with the company name, the Angi handle, the company-list URL and a listing snippet. No login, no Angi API and no visit to angi.com is involved at any point.

Everything comes from publicly available Google search results: titles, snippets and site labels. There is no browser, no JavaScript rendering, no authentication and no cookies. That is what keeps the Angi Email Scraper cheap to run and stable across the platform's own redesigns.

In a measured live run, the Angi Email Scraper returned 10 result blocks, 10 identity matches, 10 profile URLs and 8 unique emails. Every block resolved to a named contractor with a working profile URL, and eight of ten carried a usable address. That is a strong result, matched in this category only by Porch, Clutch and the three top performers.

Why three-domain coverage makes the Angi Email Scraper different

HomeAdvisor and Angie's List were folded into the Angi brand, but their old URLs still carry indexed contractor pages. A scraper pointed only at angi.com therefore misses a large body of still-live listings. The Angi Email Scraper searches all three domains in the same run and deduplicates the results globally.

That also means a single contractor can appear under more than one domain. Global email deduplication ensures you get one row per unique address regardless of which domain produced it. The query field records exactly which search found each lead if you need to audit that later.

Key features of the Angi Email Scraper

Everything below is behaviour the Angi Email Scraper actually implements, shared with every Actor in this family.

Feature	What it does
Triple-domain site: targeting	Queries angi.com, homeadvisor.com and angieslist.com in the same run
Query expansion	Base, quoted and intitle: variants plus one variant per query modifier
Trade-intent modifiers	Defaults of email, contact, enquiries, owner and get a quote
Domain filtering	Keeps only emails ending in the domains you list
Global deduplication	One row per unique email across every query, page and platform domain
Email normalisation	Understands name [at] domain [dot] com, name (at) domain, name @ domain.com, domain .com, zero-width characters and the full-width ＠ sign
Junk filter	Rejects email@, yourname@, test@, xxx@ and single-character locals
Boundary-correct matching	@gmail.com does not match inside @gmail.company or @gmail.com.br
Soft-wrap repair	Drops a hit that is only the tail of another email in the same block
Structural block parsing	Locates the <h3> title and the smallest surrounding block instead of relying on CSS class names
Whole-page fallback parser	A Google markup change degrades to emails without account details, not to zero results
Concurrency	asyncio worker pool with a shared stop signal once maxEmails is reached
Retries and block detection	Three attempts per page with exponential backoff; CAPTCHA and consent pages are retried, not counted as empty
Re-queue pass	Blocked or failed queries are retried once at the end of the run
Resumable state	Key-value store state keyed by an input hash, saved on PERSIST_STATE, MIGRATING and ABORTING
Immediate dataset writes	Each lead is pushed as soon as it is found
Run summary	Logs pages fetched, blocked pages, retries and emails per page

How the Angi Email Scraper works

The Angi Email Scraper reads your input, builds Google queries, fetches result pages and parses each block structurally. Emails are extracted from block text with a domain-filtered regex, normalised, junk-filtered and deduplicated globally. Each surviving lead is pushed to the Apify dataset immediately, so a partial run is still usable.

A query looks like site:angi.com roofer "@gmail.com" "Columbus", with parallel queries against the two sister domains. Pages are fetched through the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy over async HTTP with a fresh proxy session per request. Structural parsing means a Google layout change degrades the run rather than breaking it.

Query expansion in the Angi Email Scraper

Google caps a single query at roughly 300 results, and three domains of contractor listings vastly exceed that. Query expansion multiplies each keyword by each email domain and by several phrasings, with base queries running first. Because three platform domains are in play, the expanded query set is larger here than on single-domain Actors.

Location is the strongest lever in the Angi Email Scraper

location matters more on Angi than almost anywhere else in this category. Contractors are matched to homeowners by service area, so every listing carries a city, county or metro in its text. Run the same keyword set once per metro and merge the datasets afterwards rather than attempting one national sweep.

Choosing trade keywords for the Angi Email Scraper

Angi's own service categories are the highest-yield keywords because they match the platform taxonomy. roofer, hvac contractor, plumber, deck builder, siding contractor and remodeling contractor all map to real categories. Six to ten trade keywords per metro is a sensible working range.

Input reference for the Angi Email Scraper

The Angi Email Scraper takes nine inputs and only keywords is required.

Field	Type	Default	Meaning
keywords	array (required)	["contractor", "roofer"]	Search terms describing the contractors you want
location	string	""	Optional location phrase added to every query
customDomains	array	["@gmail.com", "@yahoo.com"]	Only emails on these domains are kept; @ optional
maxEmails	integer 1-10000	20	Stop after this many unique emails
countryCode	string	""	Two-letter country code for the search proxy (US, GB, DE)
expandQueries	boolean	true	Search each keyword x domain pair in several phrasings
queryModifiers	array	["email", "contact", "enquiries", "owner", "get a quote"]	Extra words combined with each keyword when expansion is on
maxPagesPerQuery	integer 1-50	30	Page cap per query
maxConcurrency	integer 1-20	5	Parallel queries

Example input

{
  "keywords": ["roofer", "hvac contractor", "siding contractor", "deck builder"],
  "location": "Columbus",
  "customDomains": ["@gmail.com", "@yahoo.com", "@outlook.com", "@aol.com"],
  "maxEmails": 400,
  "countryCode": "US",
  "expandQueries": true,
  "queryModifiers": ["email", "contact", "enquiries", "owner", "get a quote"],
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 30,
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}

Tuning the Angi Email Scraper

Trade plus metro is the winning combination on this platform. roofer with location set to Columbus will out-produce contractor with no location by a wide margin. Three to eight trade keywords per metro keeps runs manageable.

Independent contractors overwhelmingly use free-mail addresses. Keep @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @outlook.com and @aol.com in customDomains for US runs. Each extra domain multiplies the query count across all three platform domains, so raise maxEmails alongside.

Output reference for the Angi Email Scraper

Every dataset item produced by the Angi Email Scraper carries all fourteen fields below.

Field	Meaning
network	Platform name

title	Raw result title
accountName	Account label Google prints
fullName	Display name parsed from a profile-style title; empty for non-profile results
username	URL-safe handle when the platform exposes one; otherwise null
profileUrl	Canonical account URL when a handle is known; otherwise empty
url	Direct platform link when exposed, else the profile URL
description	Listing snippet, cleaned of labels and counters
email	Lower-cased email address
emailDomain	The matched domain
possiblyTruncated	true when Google's snippet ellipsis touched the email
foundAt	ISO 8601 UTC timestamp

The Apify dataset view shows email, account, name, username, profile, keyword, snippet and the truncation flag. Export as CSV, JSON or XLSX, or read the dataset through the Apify API. Because identity resolution is strong here, the profile column is genuinely useful for manual verification.

Use cases for the Angi Email Scraper

The Angi Email Scraper is built for suppliers and service providers selling into the US home improvement trades.

Use case	Suggested keywords	Suggested location
Selling building materials to contractors	roofer, siding contractor	one metro per run
Contractor insurance, bonding and workers comp	general contractor, hvac contractor	state capital or metro
Lead-generation and CRM software sales	remodeling contractor, plumber	metro area
Franchise and territory recruitment	gutter installation, pressure washing	target territory
Fleet, tool and equipment finance	deck builder, concrete contractor	metro area
Trade distribution and dealer recruitment	window installer, flooring contractor	regional hub city
Market research on contractor supply	contractor, roofer	leave empty

Selling into the trades with the Angi Email Scraper

Suppliers benefit most because Angi contractors are their end customers. Use Angi's own trade category names, one metro at a time, and keep the free-mail domains wide. The description field states the trade and the service area, which is enough to segment a list quickly.

HomeAdvisor and Angie's List legacy listings in the Angi Email Scraper

Some older contractor records survive only on homeadvisor.com or angieslist.com. Because the Angi Email Scraper searches all three domains together, you pick those up without configuring anything. Check the query field if you need to know which domain produced a given lead.

Practical recipes for the Angi Email Scraper

A Midwest sweep might use roofer, hvac contractor and siding contractor with location set to Columbus and countryCode to US. A Sun Belt campaign might repeat the same keyword set for Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta and Tampa as separate runs. Keep expandQueries on throughout, because one query cannot reach past Google's result cap.

For breadth, drop location, keep maxPagesPerQuery at 30 and raise maxEmails. For precision, name one metro, use three or four trade keywords and set maxEmails to a couple of hundred. Both modes run identical code; only query volume differs.

How many results the Angi Email Scraper returns

A measured live run of the Angi Email Scraper produced 10 blocks, 10 identity matches, 10 profile URLs and 8 unique emails. Identity resolution was perfect and email yield was high, which puts Angi in the strong tier of this category. Only Bark, CallUpContact and Crunchbase measured higher, and Porch and Clutch matched it.

Your own numbers will vary with trade, metro, domain list and how much of the three platform domains Google currently indexes. Free Apify plans stop at 100 emails per run and paid plans are uncapped. No specific volume is guaranteed by the Angi Email Scraper or by any Actor in this family.

Limitations of the Angi Email Scraper

• The Angi Email Scraper only finds contractors whose email is publicly visible in Google's index. Angi routes many enquiries through its own lead system, so some contractors publish no address.
• Google caps a single query at roughly 300 results. Query expansion exists to work around that cap, and disabling it reduces yield sharply.
• possiblyTruncated: true means Google's snippet ellipsis touched the email, so the address may be incomplete. Verify those rows before sending.
• username and profileUrl are populated only when Google exposes a handle. Category and city landing pages can leave those blank while keeping accountName and fullName; that is a Google limitation, not a bug.
• The Angi Email Scraper requires the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy and cannot run without Apify proxy credentials.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 100 emails per run; paid plans have no cap.
• Results vary with keywords, domains and location, and no volume is guaranteed.

The Angi Email Scraper is not affiliated with, endorsed by or officially supported by Angi, HomeAdvisor or Angie's List. It reads public search results only and does not access private or gated data.

Responsible use, GDPR and CAN-SPAM

Most Angi contractors are small businesses or sole traders, so a free-mail address is often personal data in practice as well as in law. For US recipients, CAN-SPAM expects accurate headers, a valid postal address and a working unsubscribe path. For EU and UK recipients, GDPR expects a lawful basis, a clear sender identity, a genuine business reason and an easy way to object.

Keep the query, profileUrl and foundAt provenance that every row carries. Honour opt-outs immediately and suppress them in later runs of the Angi Email Scraper. This is general information about common obligations rather than legal advice, so check the rules that apply to you.

FAQ about the Angi Email Scraper

How many results should I expect?

A measured live run returned 10 blocks, 10 identity matches, 10 profile URLs and 8 unique emails, which is a strong result. Your numbers depend on trade, metro, domains and index coverage, and no volume is guaranteed.

Does the Angi Email Scraper cover HomeAdvisor and Angie's List?

Yes. It queries angi.com, homeadvisor.com and angieslist.com in the same run and deduplicates emails across all three.

Does the Angi Email Scraper log into Angi?

No. It never logs in, never uses an Angi API and never opens angi.com. All data comes from publicly indexed Google results.

How important is the location field in the Angi Email Scraper?

Very. Contractors are matched by service area, so one run per metro will beat a single national run every time.

Why do some contractors have no email?

Angi is built to route homeowner enquiries through its own lead system, so plenty of contractors never publish an address. The Angi Email Scraper can only surface the ones that do.

Why are some username and profileUrl values empty?

The Angi Email Scraper fills those only when Google exposes a handle. City and category landing pages sometimes show a title without one, so the row keeps accountName and leaves the handle blank.

What does possiblyTruncated mean?

Google's snippet ellipsis touched the email, so the address may be cut short. Verify those rows before sending.

How do I raise the Angi Email Scraper email count?

Widen customDomains to four or more free-mail providers, raise maxEmails, keep expandQueries on and run more metros.

Does it need the Apify proxy?

Yes. The Angi Email Scraper runs on the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy and cannot operate without Apify proxy credentials.

Can I run it on the free plan?

Yes, capped at 100 emails per run. Paid plans remove the cap.

Are the emails verified?

No. The Angi Email Scraper extracts and normalises what Google shows. Run your own verification before any campaign.

Which other home-services Actors should I run alongside?

The Thumbtack Email Scraper and Porch Email Scraper for more US trades, and the Houzz Email Scraper for design-led remodelling.
