• 🥇 Ranking and badges: badges as houzz.com shows them on each professional.

• 🧭 Radius search: search around a point with lat, lon and radiusKm.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste houzz.com URLs into startUrls to scrape exactly the pages you picked in the browser.

What data can you extract from houzz.com?

Each result includes Core professional fields (listingId, id, title, entityName, location, searchQuery, contentQuality, and scrapedAt, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (detailFetched), and contact information (phone). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Detail enrichment is on by default and adds richer fields such as contact information where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — A houzz.com professionals URL, a category slug (e.g. general-contractors, architects, interior-designers-and-decorators), or free text. Required if no startUrls provided.
• location — City and state, e.g. "Austin, TX". Works with a category slug or a profession keyword (e.g. general contractor, which houzz.com maps to its category); a location the site does not recognize stops the run with an error instead of searching the whole country.
• maxResults — Maximum total results (0 = unlimited). (default: 100)
• startUrls — Paste raw search URLs from the target site. Each URL becomes its own search task; results are merged and deduped by listing ID across all URLs. When provided, startUrls REPLACE the query/location fields (each supported URL becomes one task; unsupported URLs are skipped, and if none is supported the run stops with an input error). (default: [])
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate description to N chars. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• descriptionFormat — Pick a single description representation. all keeps every variant; text / html / markdown drop the others. (default: "all")
• excludeEmptyFields — Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards. (default: false)
• includeDetails — Open each professional's profile for its website, areas served, services, awards, license number and review-aspect scores. Turn off for search-card data only (faster). (default: true)
• includeReviews — Add the professional's reviews (text, rating, reviewer, project date and price, likes, the pro's reply) to each record. Adds one request per 50 reviews, so runs take longer. (default: false)
• maxReviewsPerPro — How many reviews to read per professional when reviews are on, in the order houzz.com shows them. (default: 20)
• enrichEmails — Read the professional's own website (home page, plus one contact or about page if needed) and add the email addresses it shows. houzz.com itself does not publish emails. (default: false)
• ...and 21 more parameters

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape houzz.com?

Houzz Pros Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.00045 per run
• Per result: $0.0009 per professional record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.00945
• 25 results: $0.023
• 100 results: $0.09
• 200 results: $0.18
• 500 results: $0.45

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of professionals that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 250 professionals per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of professionals.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.23	$0.01	$0.21 (95%)	$0.35
15% — moderate broad query	$0.23	$0.03	$0.19 (85%)	$1.03
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.23	$0.07	$0.16 (70%)	$2.04

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $6.76. First month with incremental costs $0.56 / $1.22 / $2.20 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.

Profile details, reviews and emails

• 📄 Profile details (on by default): website, areas_served, services_provided, awards, license_number, photo_count and review_aspects from each professional's profile. Set includeDetails: false for search-card data only; these fields are then null.
• 💬 Reviews (opt-in): set includeReviews: true to add reviews — each with rating, body, reviewer_name, relationship, project_date, project_price, likes, created_at and the pro's pro_reply — plus reviewsFetched, reviewsTotalAvailable and reviewsStatus (complete, partial when houzz.com stopped answering part-way and the reviews read so far are kept, or failed). maxReviewsPerPro (default 20, up to 500) caps how many are read per professional.
• 📧 Website emails (opt-in): houzz.com does not publish emails. Set enrichEmails: true and the actor reads the professional's own website (home page, plus one contact or about page if needed) and adds contactEmail, contactEmails and contactWebsite. emailEnrichment.status tells you whether an email was found, not_found, the pro has no_website, or the site failed to load.

A review or email lookup that fails never drops the professional: the row is delivered with an empty list or the status above. Fields for an option you did not turn on are null.
