Thumbtack Seller Details Scraper

Overview

This actor scrapes detailed business information from Thumbtack professional (Pro) profile pages. Thumbtack is a platform connecting customers with local service professionals. Manually collecting this data for market research or competitor analysis is time-consuming. This tool automates the extraction of structured data from seller profile URLs.

Key Features

• Extracts comprehensive business details from Thumbtack Pro profiles.
• Handles multiple profile URLs in a single run.
• Manages Thumbtack's dynamic page structure.
• Uses configurable retries and proxy support (including Apify Proxy) to avoid blocks.
• Outputs structured JSON data suitable for analysis.

How to Use

Configure and run the actor with a JSON input. The actor will process each provided Thumbtack profile URL, extract the available data, and save the results to the dataset.
