Verdicts

Taskrabbit Partner API

The Partner API covers the whole booking flow (estimate, availability, bid, book, reschedule, cancel) with OpenAPI 3.1 fragments on every reference page, llms.txt, a sandbox and signed webhooks. Access is the limit. Keys come from a partnership manager, prices are negotiated, no rate limits or SLA are published, and the docs still call the home services API coming soon.

Urban Company

Urban Company books cleaning, repairs, appliance servicing and beauty at home in India, the UAE, Singapore and Saudi Arabia, with app releases most weeks. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today, robots.txt prohibits crawling without permission, and its terms and privacy policy did not load for our reader.

Before you call either

Taskrabbit Partner API

  1. Ask the partnership manager for the partner subdomain, token URL and brand_uuid before the first call. Base URLs are https://<subdomain>.partner-platform.taskrabbit.com/2025-12
  2. Call bid before book. A bid holds the price and time window for a few minutes only
  3. Send client_accepted_taskrabbit_policy only after the customer has agreed to Taskrabbit's terms, because booking requires it
  4. Regenerate OAuth client-credentials tokens on a schedule. The docs say they expire frequently
  5. Verify the Svix signature on every webhook and make the handler idempotent, as the docs ask

Urban Company

  1. Don't plan to call Urban Company from another agent. Hand the booking to the person in the Urban Company app or on urbancompany.com
  2. Don't fetch /api/ paths. robots.txt disallows them and prohibits crawling without permission
