Scrapes ACE-certified personal trainer and health coach profiles from the ACE Fitness "Find an ACE Pro" directory. Returns structured data for each certified professional including name, location, certifications, specialties, bio, contact details, and years of experience.

What it does

ACE Fitness maintains a public directory of certified professionals searchable by ZIP code and radius. This actor uses ACE's internal search API to discover trainer profiles within specified ZIP codes, then scrapes each profile page to collect the full set of structured data.

Two-phase approach:

1. Discovery — Calls the WCF JSON API (/webservices/FindACEPro.svc/GetACEPros) for each ZIP code to retrieve trainer stubs (name, city, state, profile URL).
2. Profile scraping — Fetches each individual profile page to extract certifications, specialties, bio, phone, website, years of experience, and profile photo.

Input

Example input:

{
"maxItems":100,
"zipCodes":["10001","90210","60601"],
"searchRadius":50
}

Output

Each record represents one ACE-certified professional:

"profile_image_url":"https://acefitnessmediastorage.blob.core.windows.net/acepublicfiles/fcff944f-7c91-40c6-90da-7c02251dd009.jpg"
}

Coverage

Without custom ZIP codes, the actor defaults to a set of 48 major US metro ZIP codes covering NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, San Jose, Austin, Sacramento, Seattle, Denver, Atlanta, Boston, Baltimore, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Nashville, Birmingham, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, and Indianapolis.

Results are deduplicated — a trainer appearing in multiple ZIP code searches is only scraped once.

Notes

• No login or API key required
• Requires no proxy (ACE Fitness does not block scraping)
• Profile pages are Cheerio-scraped (no JavaScript rendering needed)
• The internal ACE search API does not support pagination beyond what is returned — for maximum coverage, use many ZIP codes with moderate radius values
