⚡ HomeAdvisor API Scraper — Fast & Cheap Business Lists

HomeAdvisor.com is one of the biggest US websites for finding home professionals — plumbers, roofers, electricians, cleaners, landscapers and more.

This tool grabs those business listings directly from HomeAdvisor's own data feed, which makes it very fast and very cheap. You get a clean list you can download as Excel, CSV or JSON.

No coding needed. Pick a service, pick a place, press Start. ✅

☎️ Need phone numbers? This fast version does not collect phone numbers. If you want phone + website for every lead, use the full version instead: HomeAdvisor Scraper.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. Leave the proxy setting on "None" — it works best that way.

Where are the phone numbers? This fast version skips them on purpose to stay cheap. Use the full HomeAdvisor Scraper if you need phone + website.

Can I scrape a whole state? Yes — select it in Search whole states and set Maximum number of results high (e.g. 50000). Duplicates are removed automatically.

Why only 10 ZIP codes? That is a HomeAdvisor limit per search. Need more coverage? Use the state option instead.

Is this legal? The scraper only collects publicly visible business information (the same things you see in your browser). You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and HomeAdvisor's terms.
