Bark Scraper

🔎 Bark scraper for service-provider data

Bark Scraper collects public service-provider data from Bark.com. Search by service category and location, or paste known Bark profile URLs, then export provider names, profile URLs, ratings, review counts, hires, response times, descriptions, services, locations, profile images, source links, and optional public reviews.

Use this Bark scraper when you need local service-provider leads, market research, competitor checks, review evidence, or repeat exports from Bark.com without copying profile pages by hand. The Actor supports the public GB and IE Bark directory surfaces and does not ask for Bark cookies, login credentials, FireCrawl keys, or a source API key.

For a small first run, keep What to collect set to Discover providers, use a category such as electricians, choose a location such as london, and set Maximum providers to 25. Keep Include reviews on for richer provider rows, or turn it off when you only need faster listing-level provider data.

✅ What this Bark Scraper does

• Scrapes public Bark.com service-provider directory pages.
• Accepts category and location searches for the United Kingdom and Ireland.
• Accepts direct Bark profile URLs for known providers.
• Saves one dataset row per provider.
• Extracts profile facts such as name, location, rating, review count, hires, response time, about text, services, profile image, and source URLs when Bark shows them.
• Optionally adds a reviews array to each provider row with visible public review author, rating, date, text, reply, and platform fields when available.
• Keeps Bark login-only contact details out of the output. Public email and phone fields are filled only when visible public source pages expose them.

📦 What data you get

Each output row is a Bark.com provider. The main fields are:

• providerId - public Bark profile identifier when available.
• providerName - provider or company name.
• profileUrl - canonical Bark profile URL.
• profileImageUrl - visible provider image URL.
• category, country, city, location - search and profile location context.
• providerRating, reviewCount, hiresCount, responseTime - public trust and lead-quality signals.
• description, about, services - public provider positioning and service details.
• websiteUrl, publicEmails, publicPhoneNumbers - public contact evidence only when visible.
• reviews - optional embedded public reviews when Include reviews is enabled.
• listingUrl - Bark listing page that produced the provider in discovery runs.

🧭 How to run it

You can start from discovery or from known profiles.

For discovery, choose:

• What to collect: Discover providers
• Service categories: Bark category slugs or plain service names, such as electricians, plumbers, or photographers
• Locations: city or area slugs, such as london, manchester, or dublin
• Country: United Kingdom or Ireland
• Maximum providers: the total provider rows to save

For profile enrichment, choose:

• What to collect: Use profile URLs
• Bark profile URLs: one or more public Bark company profile links
• Include reviews: on if you want public reviews embedded in each provider row

You can run the Actor from Apify Console, schedule it, call it through the Apify API, or export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS.
