FAQ

Does this cover all of Australia? Yes — 42 regions across all 8 states and territories, from capital cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin) to regional areas (Yarra Valley, Hunter Valley, Margaret River, Whitsundays, and more).

Some regions return 0 results for a category — is that a bug? No. Easy Weddings' vendor coverage varies by category and region — a small regional area may have zero listed wedding cake makers even though it has several venues. The actor reports 0 records cleanly with a status message rather than fabricating results. (Separately, the actor also has a fallback: if Easy Weddings' main listing briefly returns no results for a popular category/region that normally has plenty of vendors, the actor recovers any vendors shown in the site's own "suggested suppliers" panel for that exact category+region rather than reporting a false zero.)

Why do some records have minPriceAud/maxPriceAud and others have averagePriceAud? Different categories publish pricing differently — venues and caterers typically show a per-head price range, while photographers, cake makers and most other categories show a single average package price. indicativePriceAud normalizes whichever is available so price filters work consistently across every category.

Are ceremonyTypes, cateringTypes and styleTags available for every category? These are venue-specific attributes published by Easy Weddings and will only appear on Wedding Venues records. Other categories omit these fields since the data isn't published.

How many reviews/photos do I get per vendor? Vendor profile pages show a curated excerpt: up to 10 of the most recent reviews and up to 20 gallery photos. This mirrors what's publicly visible on the profile page itself.

Do I need a proxy or login? No — the site serves full vendor listings and profiles as plain server-rendered HTML with no login wall, so the actor runs with no proxy and no cookies.

Why did an image URL (thumbnailUrl / galleryImageUrls) return 403 when I fetched it with curl or a bare HTTP client? Easy Weddings' image CDN (images-cdn.easyweddings.com.au) blocks requests that don't send a normal browser-style User-Agent header (it does not require a matching Referer or cookies — a generic User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 is enough). This affects raw command-line tools and some HTTP libraries' bare defaults, but not real browsers, <img> tags, or any client that sets a standard User-Agent — which is normal practice for consuming image URLs. mainImageUrl (served directly from S3, not the CDN) has no such restriction and works from any client with no headers at all.

How fresh is the data? Real-time — every run fetches the live listing/profile pages directly from easyweddings.com.au.
