What it does

The actor searches Checkatrade for each trade you list across each location you list, opens every matching trade profile, and writes one normalized record per business to the run's dataset. Each record carries the company name, primary trade and full trade list, profile URL and company ID, phone numbers, town and region, the Checkatrade score and review counts, trust badges, service offerings, portfolio photo URLs, a sample of recent reviews with score breakdowns, membership date, and business description. Missing source values are returned as null.

Optional AI add-ons (paid Apify plans only) add a plain-English profile summary, a 0 to 100 B2B lead score with tier and rationale, and a digest of the sampled reviews. An optional contact-enrichment add-on tries to find a public business email and contact name for results that have none.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 3 London electricians with AI summary, lead score and review digest enabled.

{
  "searchQueries": ["Electrician"],
  "locations": ["London"],
  "maxTrades": 3,
  "withAiProfileSummary": true,
  "withAiLeadScore": true,
  "withAiReviewDigest": true
}

Provide at least one trade and one location. Every trade is searched across every location. AI and contact add-ons are optional and off by default.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~checkatrade-uk-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["Plumber"],"locations":["Manchester"],"maxTrades":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~checkatrade-uk-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["Roofer","Builder"],"locations":["Birmingham","Leeds"],"maxTrades":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/checkatrade-uk-scraper \
  --input '{"searchQueries":["Electrician"],"locations":["London"],"maxTrades":10}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per trade record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Paid add-ons. AI summary, lead score, review digest and contact enrichment are optional. Each is billed per record only when it returns usable output, and the AI add-ons require a paid Apify plan.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run, and the contact enrichment add-on is capped at 3 on free accounts. Upgrade for higher maxTrades.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? No trade matched that combination of query and location, or the search page was empty. Broaden the location or use a more common trade term. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Do I need a paid plan? No for the core scrape. Yes for the AI add-ons (withAiProfileSummary, withAiLeadScore, withAiReviewDigest), which are disabled for free accounts.

Why are the AI fields null? The matching add-on was off, or you are on a free account, or the AI did not produce usable output for that record. AI fields are never invented.

Why is enrichedEmail null? The contact enrichment add-on was off, or no public business email was found. Missing values are returned as null.

Can I search several trades and towns at once? Yes. List multiple trades in searchQueries and multiple places in locations. Every trade is searched across every location.

Is this an official Checkatrade tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Checkatrade. It reads only data that is publicly available on trade profiles. Use it in accordance with the site terms.
