License & fair use

The API is free for apps, research, journalism and AI tools under CC BY 4.0: when you display the data publicly, credit Pick an Agency with a link to pickanagency.com or to the agency's profile_url.

Be reasonable: responses are CDN-cached, so cache on your side too and keep it well under a few requests per second. Need bulk data, higher volume or a field we don't expose? Email hello@pickanagency.com - we're happy to help. How the data is collected and verified is documented in the methodology.

30-second example

const res = await fetch(
  "https://www.pickanagency.com/api/v1/search?service=PPC&country=United%20States&limit=3"
);
const { results } = await res.json();
// [{ name, slug, rating, services, location, profile_url, ... }]
