💰 Pricing

You pay $1.10 per 1,000 professionals ($0.0011 per row), plus the platform usage of the run (compute and proxy traffic). Reviews are included at no extra charge, and duplicates are skipped before charging.

Usage in our tests: a 10-pro run used about $0.002; a 1,000-pro run used about $0.27, mostly residential proxy traffic (about 0.13 GB at $2 per GB). Residential IPs are the default because Houzz rate-limits datacenter IPs on big jobs.

Example: 1,000 professionals ≈ $1.10 + about $0.27 usage ≈ $1.37.

Website emails (optional): with Find emails on pro websites on, each row where an email is found costs $0.0007 more (the contact-email event, $0.70 per 1,000 emails). Rows with no email, a blocked site or no website cost nothing extra, and the actor never charges beyond your maximum total charge. Visiting the websites adds a little datacenter traffic (roughly 0.1 MB per site).

Example: 1,000 professionals with emails on, where 650 have an email on their site: $1.10 + 650 × $0.0007 = $1.10 + $0.455 = $1.555 plus platform usage.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Houzz? The actor collects publicly visible business listings, the same data any visitor sees without logging in. Check that your use complies with Houzz's terms and with the privacy and marketing laws that apply to you (for example GDPR, CCPA, TCPA).

Do I need a Houzz account or my own proxy? No. No login is used. A residential proxy is on by default, because Houzz rate-limits datacenter IPs (HTTP 429) on bigger jobs. You can still pick the datacenter proxy; the actor then switches to residential IPs on its own when Houzz keeps refusing them. Website email lookups always use datacenter IPs.

How many professionals can I get? Houzz shows at most about 1,500 professionals per search (keyword + location). For bigger lists, add more locations (nearby cities, ZIP codes) or related keywords; duplicates are removed automatically.

Why is a field empty? Pros fill in their profiles themselves. License numbers, awards, cost estimates and contact names are optional on Houzz, so they are empty when the pro left them blank. Houzz does not publish email addresses; switch on Find emails on pro websites to look for them on the pro's own site.

Does it find emails? Houzz does not show emails, but the actor can find them for you: switch on Find emails on pro websites. For every pro with a website it loads the homepage and, if no email is there, up to two contact or about pages on the same site. It reads mailto links, page text and Cloudflare-protected addresses, drops no-reply, platform and image addresses, and puts an address on the pro's own domain first. Each website is visited once per run. Pros without a website, and sites that block visitors, get no email and no extra charge.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs in the console, or start runs and read datasets through the API.

⚠️ Limits

• About 1,500 reachable results per keyword + location (a Houzz limit); spread big jobs over more locations.
• Sponsored placements on the directory pages are skipped; every organic result is included.
• Fax numbers are not returned. Emails come only from the pro's own website (when Find emails is on); sites that refuse visitors or need a browser to show the address return blocked or none.
• Houzz Shop products, photos and ideabooks are not covered; this actor is for the professionals directory.
