FAQ

Do I need a Checkatrade account or any setup? No account and no setup — just enter a trade and location and run.

How many tradespeople can I get per run? Use maxItems to cap results. Run different trade and location combinations to widen coverage across the UK.

Can I filter by trade and location? Yes. Search by any trade (Plumber, Electrician, Builder, and more) and any location (town, city or area).

Does it include phone numbers? Yes, the contact telephone is included where the business lists one — useful for building lead lists.

What's the output format? Structured JSON — one record per tradesperson with rating, review count, services, phone and URL. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Is scraping Checkatrade legal? Only public data shown to any visitor on Checkatrade is collected. This is an independent tool, not affiliated with Checkatrade; check Checkatrade's Terms of Service and applicable marketing/data regulations for your use case.

Can I integrate this with other tools? The Checkatrade Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.
