Checkatrade Scraper
Scrape Checkatrade tradespeople — ratings, reviews count, phone and skills
Search Checkatrade for tradespeople by UK location and trade category. Returns company name, ratings, review counts, skills, and phone numbers when available.
A real browser clears Cloudflare; listings are then pulled from Checkatrade’s public matching search API (paginated), with optional filtering to rows that include a phone number.
Features
- Location: full postcode recommended (e.g.
E6 1AE); city / area strings are resolved when possible - 1000+ trade categories (plumber, electrician, builder, …)
- Page limit (~12 results per page)
- Optional “phone required” filter
- Sponsored vs organic flag when provided by the API

- Start with
maxPages: 1to validate proxies, then raise the limit. - Cloudflare often blocks plain HTTP / datacenter IPs — use a residential proxy on Apify.
