Capabilities

Complete directory extraction without the operational overhead

Our Angieslist scraper bypasses bot mitigation and geo-fences to extract verified contractor data, reviews, and licensing information across all US ZIP codes.

Full Directory Extraction

Extract complete business profiles including names, addresses, contact information, operating hours, and service categories.

Review Corpus Mining

Paginate through thousands of reviews per contractor to capture text, ratings, project costs, and verified purchase flags.

Geo-Targeted Scraping

Simulate searches from specific US ZIP codes to map exact service areas and local search rankings.

License & Credential Verification

Capture state license numbers, insurance status, bonding information, and background check badges.

Angi Certified & Award Tracking

Identify top-performing contractors by tracking Super Service Awards and Angi Certified status.

Dynamic Contact Unmasking

Execute JavaScript to render obfuscated phone numbers and website links that simple HTTP clients miss.

Sponsored vs Organic Rankings

Track which contractors are paying for placement versus ranking organically for specific service keywords.

Scheduled Change Detection

Monitor contractor profiles for new reviews, rating changes, or updated licensing information on a daily or weekly cadence.

High-Concurrency Delivery

Scale extractions across thousands of categories and locations simultaneously without triggering rate limits.

Bot mitigation
Residential US proxies and fingerprinting

Angieslist uses strict WAF rules to block datacenter IPs. We route all requests through US-based residential proxies with realistic browser fingerprints to ensure uninterrupted access to search results and profiles.

Geo-fencing
ZIP code level session management

Contractor visibility depends entirely on the searcher location. We maintain distinct browser sessions pinned to specific ZIP codes to accurately map service areas and local rankings.

Dynamic rendering
Playwright execution for contact data

Phone numbers and external links are often obfuscated or lazy-loaded via JavaScript. We use full browser rendering to simulate user interaction and extract the underlying contact details.

Schema stability
Resilient DOM selectors

Directory layouts change constantly for A/B testing. We use fallback chains and structured data extraction to ensure your pipeline does not break when Angieslist updates their UI.

Observability
Real-time null detection

We monitor extraction yields continuously. If a specific field like license number or phone drops below expected thresholds, our alerting stack flags it for immediate engineering review.

Common questions.

About angieslist.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Angieslist legal?

Scraping publicly available contractor profiles and reviews is generally permissible under applicable law. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated directory data. We do not extract private consumer details or circumvent authentication walls.

How do you handle obfuscated phone numbers?

We use full Playwright browser sessions to execute the necessary JavaScript and simulate the click events required to reveal hidden contact information on contractor profiles.

Can you scrape search results for specific ZIP codes?

Yes. We configure our crawlers to initiate sessions with specific ZIP codes, ensuring the search results accurately reflect the local ranking and service area visibility.

How fresh is the data?

We can configure pipelines for one-off historical dumps or scheduled daily refreshes to capture new reviews and rating changes.

Do you extract the Super Service Award status?

Yes. We capture all badges, including Angi Certified status, Super Service Awards, and background check verification flags.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our minimum engagement typically starts at 10,000 contractor profiles or specific category extractions across defined US states.

Can I request a sample dataset?

Yes. We provide a sample run of up to 500 contractor profiles during the scoping phase so you can validate schema fit and data quality.
