## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability houzz-professional-directory-scraper-f50c0e57 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape up to 200 interior designers in San Francisco from Houzz — use the Houzz search URL for SF interior designers and go through up to 10 pages per search.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured bulk data from the Houzz professional directory — especially for lead generation, market research, or competitive analysis by category and geography. It handles pagination automatically and only charges for successful, non-empty runs, making it cost-efficient for exploratory scraping.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if the search URL is invalid or returns no professionals — not charged
- Houzz page structure changes may cause scraping failures
- Rate limiting or blocking by Houzz could return partial results
- Invalid URL format in searchUrls array causes request rejection
- Exceeding maxPagesPerSearch cap of 333 pages is silently capped

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of professionals found and an array of items, each with the professional's name, userId, proType, category, scraped timestamp, the source searchUrl, their profileUrl, and professionalId. Only populated results are returned; failed or empty runs are not charged.
