What this scraper does

Angi is one of the largest US directories of home-service professionals. This actor turns its listings into structured data you can act on.

Give it one or more service categories (e.g. plumbing, electrician, roofing) and locations (e.g. ny/new-york, ca/los-angeles), and it collects the matching pros — each with contact details, rating, review count, and verification status. You can also paste Angi listing or company URLs directly.

Why use it

• ⚡ Reliable at scale — built to handle Angi's protections and page reliably through results.
• 📞 Contact-ready — business name, phone, and full address for outreach and CRM import.
• ⭐ Reputation data — rating, review count, and verification status per pro.
• 🧱 Flexible inputs — search by category + location, or paste Angi URLs directly.
• 🏗️ Pairs with license data — combine reputation (Angi) with licensing (state boards) for full vetting.
• 📦 Export anywhere — JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML table, or RSS, plus a full REST API and integrations.

Who it's for

• Home-services lead-gen building contractor and pro contact lists by trade and city.
• SaaS & marketplaces onboarding or enriching service-provider data.
• Sales teams targeting contractors with tools, insurance, materials, or financing.
• Market researchers analyzing pro density, ratings, and competition by metro.
• Agencies auditing local listings and reputation for clients.

Tips for best results

• Location format is state/city. Use the two-letter state abbreviation and a hyphenated city, e.g. ny/new-york, ca/los-angeles, tx/houston.
• Category slugs are hyphenated. Examples: plumbing, electrician, roofing, hvac, house-cleaning, landscaping, pest-control.
• Keep the US residential proxy — it's required for reliable access.
• Moderate concurrency keeps runs stable; raise it gradually if needed.
• Combine with contractor-license data for full vetting (reputation + licensing).

Use cases

• 🤝 Sales prospecting — target pros for tools, insurance, materials, software, or financing.
• 📊 Market research — analyze pro density, ratings, and competition across cities.

FAQ

How do I specify a location? As state/city, using the two-letter state code and a hyphenated city name, e.g. ny/new-york.

Which categories can I use? Any Angi home-service category slug — plumbing, electrician, roofing, hvac, house-cleaning, landscaping, pest-control, and many more. Browse angi.com to discover available categories in your target city.

Do I get phone numbers? Yes — phone numbers are included when listed on Angi profiles, making this ideal for lead generation. Note: Angi hides phone numbers on approximately 50% of profiles. When hidden, the phone field will be null — this is a platform limitation, not a scraper issue.

Do I need an account? No login is required. A US residential proxy is required and provided by default.

How many pros can I scrape? As many as your categories and locations return — increase maxPagesPerList and maxItems to collect more. Each category+location combination typically returns 100-500 pros. Use multiple categories and cities for larger datasets.

Can I scrape specific companies? Yes — paste their Angi URLs into startUrls. Profile URLs follow the pattern /companylist/us/{state}/{city}/{business-name}-reviews-{id}.htm.

Why is a US residential proxy required? Angi uses Cloudflare protection that blocks non-US and datacenter IPs. A US residential proxy ensures reliable access by making requests appear as real US household visitors. The default is preconfigured.

What's the difference between rating, reviewCount, and bestRating? rating is the average star rating (1-5), reviewCount is the total number of reviews, and bestRating is the maximum possible rating (typically 5). These come from Angi's schema.org LocalBusiness structured data.

Can I combine this with contractor license data? Yes — this is a powerful pattern. Scrape Angi for reputation data (rating, reviews, verification), then cross-reference with state contractor license databases for compliance data (license status, insurance, bond). Together they give you a complete pro-vetting picture.

How many profiles return phone numbers? Approximately 44% of Angi profiles publicly display phone numbers in the schema.org LocalBusiness JSON. The rest show phone only after user interaction (click-to-reveal). This is an Angi platform design choice — no scraper can access those hidden numbers.

Is there rate limiting? Yes — Angi rate-limits burst requests. We handle this automatically with exponential backoff (0.8s–8s) and up to 6 retries per request. Keep maxConcurrency at 3-4 for best results.

Need another home-services data source or a custom field? Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab — feedback and feature requests are welcome.

Anti-Bot Strategy

Angi is protected by Cloudflare which challenges non-browser requests. Our approach:

• Browser-fingerprinted HTTP — got-scraping with Chrome TLS fingerprint mimics real browser connections
• US residential proxy — each request gets a fresh US residential IP, making it appear as a real US household visitor
• Exponential backoff on 429/403 — Angi rate-limits bursts; we back off from 0.8s to 8s across up to 6 retry attempts
• Low concurrency — 3 parallel requests by default to stay under rate-limit thresholds
• Session rotation — new proxy session per attempt to clear stale Cloudflare challenges

Performance & Memory

Typical run: 50 pros in ~5-8 minutes. Keep maxConcurrency: 3-4 for stability — higher values trigger Angi's burst rate-limiting.

Category & Location Format

Category slugs (hyphenated):

plumbing, electrician, roofing, hvac, house-cleaning, landscaping, pest-control, handyman, painting, carpentry, flooring, fencing, tree-service, moving, windows, gutters, siding, masonry, paving, excavating, concrete, drywall, insulation, appliance-repair, garage-doors, home-inspection, pressure-washing, water-damage, mold-remediation, asbestos, radon, chimney, fireplace

Location format (state/city):

ny/new-york, ca/los-angeles, tx/houston, il/chicago, az/phoenix, pa/philadelphia, fl/miami, ga/atlanta, ma/boston, wa/seattle, co/denver, or/portland, nv/las-vegas, dc/washington, nc/charlotte, mi/detroit, mn/minneapolis, oh/columbus, mo/kansas-city, tn/nashville

Use two-letter state abbreviation + hyphenated city name from the Angi URL pattern.

Integration

JavaScript / TypeScript

import{ ApifyClient }from'apify-client';
const client =newApifyClient({token:'YOUR_TOKEN'});
const run =await client.actor('haketa/angi-scraper').call({
categories:['plumbing','electrician'],
locations:['ny/new-york'],
maxItems:100,
});
const{ items }=await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient(token='YOUR_TOKEN')
run = client.actor('haketa/angi-scraper').call(run_input={
'categories':['plumbing','electrician'],
'locations':['ny/new-york'],
'maxItems':100,
})
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items

CLI

apify call haketa/angi-scraper \
--input'{"categories":["plumbing"],"locations":["ny/new-york"],"maxItems":100}'

Use Case: Contractor License + Reputation Cross-Reference

One of the most powerful applications is cross-referencing Angi reputation data with state contractor license databases:

1. Scrape Angi for pros in a category + city → get business name, phone, rating, reviews, years in business
2. Cross-reference with license data (e.g. state license board scrapers) → verify license status, insurance, bond
3. Score each pro on both reputation (Angi) and compliance (license)
4. Target the best — verified, licensed, highly-rated, and established

This gives you a complete picture no single data source can provide: who is trustworthy AND who is legal.
