🛠️ Angi (Angie's List) Contractor Scraper

🚀 Pull verified home service contractors in seconds. Filter by city and service. No API key, no membership card, no manual copy-paste from profile after profile.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-08 · 📊 18 fields per record · 49 service categories · All 50 US states · Profiles, ratings, services, hours

Angi (formerly Angie's List) is one of the largest home services directories in the United States, with millions of contractor profiles, customer reviews, and Super Service Award winners across plumbing, electrical, roofing, HVAC, remodeling, and dozens of other trades. This Actor turns any public Angi listing or profile URL into a clean, structured dataset of verified pros, ready for spreadsheets, CRMs, and lead-gen pipelines, without you ever touching a browser.

The scraper takes one or more Angi search URLs (city + service or state + service or category-only "near me" pages), walks each listing, and visits every contractor profile to enrich the record with the about-us copy, address, website, business hours, services offered, and the freshest review excerpts. Output is a flat JSON / CSV / Excel dataset with 18 fields per contractor, including business name, Angi rating, review count, service categories, badges, and review highlights. Data quality is the priority: fields that Angi does not surface publicly (such as direct phone numbers gated behind contact forms) are not included, so you never end up with rows full of nulls.

🎯 Target audience	🔧 Primary use cases
Home service marketers and lead-gen agencies	Build a contractor lead list filtered by city and trade
Insurance adjusters and underwriters	Pre-qualify pros for claims partner programs
Real estate teams and property managers	Sourcing reliable maintenance and remodel contractors
Researchers and journalists	Local-market analysis on home service supply and quality
Franchise developers	Map local-market saturation by service category
Reputation analysts	Track ratings, reviews, and Super Service Award trends

📋 What the Angi Scraper does

• 🏙️ Search by category and location. Drop in any Angi listing URL: a city + service page, a state-wide page, or a /nearme/{service}/ page.
• 🔎 Aggregates every visible profile. The scraper walks the listing, deduplicates by profile URL, and follows pagination when present.
• 🧾 Enriches each record from the profile page. Angi's profile schema-org JSON, contact panel, services pills, and review highlights are all extracted in one pass.
• 🛡️ Cloudflare and DataDome handled. Camoufox over a residential US proxy clears the bot challenges that block plain HTTP scrapers.
• 🧹 No always-null columns. Fields that Angi gates (such as the public phone number, which sits behind their contact form) are omitted, so you can ship the dataset straight to Excel or your CRM.

Each record contains identity (business name, profile URL, businessId, logo image), trust signals (Angi rating, review count, badges, review highlights), location (street, city, state, ZIP), reach (services offered, website, business hours), and the about-us description the contractor wrote on Angi.

💡 Why it matters: Angi reviews are widely seen as higher signal than generic Yelp or Google posts because Angi gates them through paid membership history. Pair an Angi-derived list with skip-trace or licensing data and you get a verified, ranked contractor universe in minutes.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
searchUrls	array<string>	No	One or more Angi listing URLs. Use a city + service URL (/companylist/us/ca/los-angeles/...), a state-level service URL (/companylist/us/ca/plumbing.htm), or a national category page (/nearme/plumbers/). When omitted the scraper runs against three default urban service pages.
maxItems	integer	No	Hard cap on the number of contractor records returned. Free plan is auto-limited to 10 for previewing. Paid plan supports up to 1,000,000.
fetchProfileDetails	boolean	No	When true (default) the scraper visits each contractor profile to add description, address, services, badges, business hours, and review highlights. Disable to run a faster listing-only pass.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Apify proxy configuration. Residential US is recommended and used by default. Datacenter proxies are blocked by Angi's bot protection.

Example: city + service search.

{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbers/",
    "https://www.angi.com/nearme/electrician/"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "fetchProfileDetails": true
}

Example: state-wide audit, listing-only for speed.

{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/plumbing.htm",
    "https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/plumbing.htm"
  ],
  "maxItems": 500,
  "fetchProfileDetails": false
}

⚠️ Good to Know: Angi gates direct phone numbers behind a contact form, so the scraper does not return them. Website, address, ZIP, and Angi rating are public and are returned in full.

✨ Why choose this Actor

	Capability

🧭	Flexible URL inputs. City + service, state + service, or /nearme/{category}/ pages all work.
