Pro Profiles

Retrieve and manage pro profile data, including business details, service areas, and images. You can also set up webhooks to get real-time lead and message notifications.

API mapping: In the Thumbtack API, pro profiles are called businesses, and all endpoints use /api/v4/businesses/. On this page, the terms are interchangeable.

Overview

The Business APIs support two different groups of behaviors: general purpose Business operations and Business Webhook related operations.

Businesses API

More technical details regarding general purpose Business operations can be seen in the Businesses API.

Fetching Business Data

GET /api/v4/businesses HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}

{
  "data": [
    {
      "businessID": "1337",
      "name": "Robert's Aerial Photography",
      "imageURL": "https://production-next-images-cdn.thumbtack.com/i/323302111019294847/desktop/standard/fullscreen"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "limit": 20
  }
}

Webhooks

More technical details regarding Business Webhook related operations can be seen in the Business Webhook API. Below, we illustrate an example.

For the below examples, you can leverage https://webhook.site to test out the webhook behavior.

Creating a Webhook for a Business

The below command creates a disabled webhook which listens for MessageCreatedV4 and NegotiationCreatedV4 Events.

POST /api/v4/businesses/{{businessID}}/webhooks HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}
content-type: application/json
{
    "webhookURL": "<your webhook URL>",
    "eventTypes": [
        "MessageCreatedV4",
        "NegotiationCreatedV4"
    ],
    "enabled": false,
    "auth": {
        "username": "hello",
        "password": "world"
    }
}

{
  "webhookID": "<your unique webhookID>",
  "webhookURL": "<your webhook URL>",
  "enabled": false,
  "authType": "Basic",
  "businessID": "<the businessID>",
  "eventTypes": [
    "MessageCreatedV4",
    "NegotiationCreatedV4"
  ]
}

Getting a Webhook by ID for a Business

We can fetch this Webhook's data directly, as such:

GET /api/v4/businesses/{{businessID}}/webhooks/{{webhookID}} HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}

{
  "webhookID": "<your webhookID>",
  "webhookURL": "<your webhook.site URL>",
  "enabled": false,
  "authType": "Basic",
  "businessID": "<the businessID>",
  "eventTypes": [
    "MessageCreatedV4",
    "NegotiationCreatedV4"
  ]
}

Getting All Webhooks for a Business

Alternatively, we can fetch all Webhooks for the given Business.

GET /api/v4/businesses/{{businessID}}/webhooks HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}

{
  "data": [
    {
      ...webhook fields
    },
    ...
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "limit": 10
  }
}

Updating a Webhook for a Business

We can enable the webhook by:

PUT /api/v4/businesses/{{businessID}}/webhooks/{{webhookID}} HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}
content-type: application/json
{
    "enabled": true
}

Updating a Webhook's Authentication for a Business

We can modify the Webhook's authentication by:

content-type: application/json
{
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password"
}
