Don't plan to call Bark for a household. Hand the request to the person on bark.com or the app\n2. For a professional's own leads, use the Bark app on Zapier, and ask before any Purchase Bark step, which spends credits\n3. Tell a professional that credits expire 3 months after purchase\n\n### Taskrabbit Partner API\n\n1. Ask the partnership manager for the partner subdomain, token URL and brand_uuid before the first call. Base URLs are https://\u003csubdomain\u003e.partner-platform.taskrabbit.com/2025-12\n2. Call bid before book. A bid holds the price and time window for a few minutes only\n3.
