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.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/thumbtack: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
