Handy is a US home-services marketplace that connects consumers and businesses with vetted independent professionals for cleaning, handyman work, furniture assembly, TV mounting, light installation, painting, and other home tasks at pre-set, fixed prices.
Handy is bimodal. Consumer flow: a customer picks a service (e.g., '2 hours of handyman' or 'standard home cleaning'), selects a date and time window, enters address and access details, and pays a fixed quoted price; Handy assigns a pro from its pool, sends arrival notifications, and handles post-job payment and reviews.
Moderate as a consumer brand, narrow as a developer integration surface. Handy reports roughly 80,000 to 250,000 vetted pros across the broader Angi network, hundreds of thousands of app downloads, and a presence in most US metros.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
