It is not operated by or affiliated with Houzz.\n\n**Do I need a Houzz account, cookies or an API key?**\nNo. Every supported mode works anonymously on public pages. There is no login step.\n\n**Do I need to configure a proxy?**\nNo. The actor makes direct requests and does not require proxy setup. Just choose a mode and run it.\n\n**Why does Houzz Japan sometimes return no professionals?**\nHouzz Japan intermittently blocks datacenter IPs or serves 404 profile pages. The actor reports the failed fetch and keeps any directory cards it already parsed instead of inventing rows. Other 14 markets run directly.\n\n**Why do some records have fewer fields than others?**\nProfessionals publish different amounts of information, and some categories show fewer badges or services. Fields with no value on the source page are omitted, never returned as null.\n\n**How many professionals can one search return?**\nA category or city directory serves up to 100 pages, and a keyword-filtered search stops at 30 pages. Coverage also depends on how many professionals are actually active in that city and profession.\n\n**Why is `phoneNumber` sometimes a toll-free number?**\nHouzz may display a business tracking number on the profile while the directory card shows a local number. The actor prefers the local directory number when both are available.\n\n**Why do photo keyword searches stop before a room browse does?**\nHouzz caps photo keyword results at 200 items (10 pages), while room browsing goes much deeper. The actor reports the ceiling instead of silently returning fewer photos.\n\n**Why is there no product mode?**\nShop Houzz closed in 2026. The product pages now show \"No Longer Available\" or return 404, so there is no live product data to scrape. Professional and photo data are unaffected.\n\n**Can I combine several inputs in one run?**\nYes.
