Thumbtack

Thumbtack is a local services marketplace connecting homeowners with local service professionals (cleaning, home improvement, events, wellness, and more). There is no self-serve public API - Thumbtack operates an approval-gated Partner Platform (developers.thumbtack.com) with two documented API surfaces - a Demand API for marketplace integrations (pro search, categories, autocomplete, requests) and a Pro API for supply-side integrations (leads, messages, pro profiles, reviews) - plus low-code embeddable widgets. Access requires Thumbtack to approve a partner and issue OAuth 2.0 credentials; there is no public signup or API key self-service.

Thumbtack publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authentication API, Autocomplete API, Categories API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Local Services, Marketplace, Home Services, Leads, and Partner API.

Thumbtack’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.
