Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TrustedPros Scraper — Canada Contractor Leads (Phone, Website & Rating) Extract Canadian home-service contractor leads from **TrustedPros.ca** — company name, phone, website, address, city, province, trade/category and star rating. Filter by city + trade, or pull the whole 50,000+ contractor directory. **No login required.** ### What you get Each record is one contractor: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `companyName` | Business name | | `phone` | Phone number (e.g. `416-747-1920`) | | `website` | Contractor's own site (UTM stripped); `null` if none listed | | `streetAddress` | Street address | | `city` | City | | `province` | Province code (e.g. `ON`, `BC`) | | `postalCode` | Postal code | | `country` | Country (`CA`) | | `latitude` / `longitude` | Geo coordinates | | `category` | Trade / category (e.g. `Electricians`, `Waterproofing Contractors`) | | `ratingValue` | Average star rating (0–5); `null` if unrated | | `reviewCount` | Number of reviews; `null` if unrated | | `description` | Business description | | `image` | Logo / profile image URL | | `profileUrl` | TrustedPros profile URL | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of the scrape | ### Use cases - **Agency prospecting lists** — build dialable/emailable lists of contractors by city and trade to sell SEO, ads or SaaS. - **Contractor lead resale** — verified name + phone + website + rating rows to resell to marketing buyers. - **Market & competitor mapping** — map every plumber/electrician/roofer in a city with ratings and review counts. - **CRM enrichment** — attach phone, website, address and rating to existing contractor records. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `mode` | enum | `location` (one city / trade) or `sitemap` (all of Canada, capped by `maxItems`). | | `province` | string | Province code for Location mode, e.g. `on`, `bc`, `ab`, `qc`. | | `city` | string | City slug for Location mode, e.g. `toronto`, `vancouver`, `calgary`. | | `category` | string | Optional trade filter, e.g. `electrical`, `plumbing`, `roofing`. Blank = all trades. | | `startUrls` | array | Optional. Explicit `/company/{slug}` profile URLs or `/{prov}/{city}[/{trade}]` listing URLs. | | `maxItems` | integer | Cap on contractors this run (default `100`; `0` = whole scope). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy. Datacenter by default; auto-falls back to RESIDENTIAL on a soft-block. | #### Examples One trade in one city: ```json { "mode": "location", "province": "on", "city": "toronto", "category": "electrical", "maxItems": 100 } ```` Every contractor in a city: ```json { "mode": "location", "province": "bc", "city": "vancouver", "category": "", "maxItems": 500 } ``` All of Canada (first 5,000): ```json { "mode": "sitemap", "maxItems": 5000 } ``` ### How it works / coverage - **Location mode** loads `/{prov}/{city}[/{trade}]`, collects the `/company/{slug}` cards, and paginates `.../p2, /p3 …` to the last page. - **Sitemap mode** reads `/sitemap_pros.xml` (50,000+ profile URLs) and scrapes them up to `maxItems`. - Each contact profile is static HTML with a JSON-LD `HomeAndConstructionBusiness` block — phone, address, geo and rating come from there; the website comes from the profile's outbound link. - No login, no CAPTCHA. Records are deduplicated by profile URL. ### Honesty / limits - Phone, website, address and star rating are **live-verified** on the public profile pages. Website is present for most (not all) contractors; `null` when a pro lists no site. - **Email is not published on TrustedPros profiles**, so this Actor does **not** return email. If you need email, treat it as a separate enrichment step downstream. - Canada-only. This scrapes **public directory data**; you are responsible for complying with TrustedPros' Terms of Service and applicable laws. - Rating and last-active status reflect what is shown on the live page at scrape time. ### Output sample ```json { "companyName": "RCC Waterproofing", "phone": "416-747-1920", "website": "http://rccwaterproofing.com/", "streetAddress": "4101 Steeles Avenue West", "city": "Toronto", "province": "ON", "postalCode": "M3N 1V7", "country": "CA", "latitude": 43.7734604, "longitude": -79.5289048, "category": "Waterproofing Contractors", "ratingValue": 4.9, "reviewCount": 258, "description": "Since 1920, RCC Waterproofing has been a trusted, award-winning specialist…", "image": "https://…", "profileUrl": "https://trustedpros.ca/company/rcc-waterproofing-toronto", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-07T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### FAQ **Is a login needed?** No — all data comes from public pages. **Does it return email?** No. TrustedPros does not publish contractor email on profiles. **How many contractors are there?** The profile sitemap lists 50,000+ Canadian contractors; use Location mode to target a city/trade or Sitemap mode with `maxItems` to pull broadly. **Pricing?** Pay-per-result: you are charged once per contractor delivered to the dataset. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): How to enumerate contractors. "Location" scrapes one city (optionally one trade). "Sitemap" pulls from the whole-Canada profile sitemap (50k+ contractors) — use maxItems to cap it. ## `province` (type: `string`): Province code used in Location mode, e.g. "on" (Ontario), "bc", "ab", "qc". ## `city` (type: `string`): City slug used in Location mode, e.g. "toronto", "vancouver", "calgary" (lower-case, hyphenated). ## `category` (type: `string`): Optional trade filter in Location mode, e.g. "electrical", "plumbing", "roofing", "waterproofing". Blank = every trade in the city. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional. Explicit TrustedPros URLs to scrape instead of the mode above — either /company/{slug} profile pages or /{prov}/{city}\[/{trade}] listing pages. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Cap on contractors returned this run (cost/speed guard). Default 100; set 0 for the whole scope. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. TrustedPros serves plain datacenter requests, so datacenter is the default; the Actor auto-falls back to RESIDENTIAL if an IP is soft-blocked. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "location", "province": "on", "city": "toronto", "category": "electrical", "maxItems": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `records` (type: `string`): The dataset of scraped TrustedPros contractors (one item per record). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
