Nürnberg Messe Exhibitor List Scraper

Export public exhibitor records from NürnbergMesse event directories such as FACHPACK, it-sa, BIOFACH, embedded world, IWA, and Interzoo. The actor reads the public NürnbergMesse search index and saves clean company, booth, category, and contact fields to an Apify dataset.

What does Nürnberg Messe Exhibitor List Scraper do?

Nürnberg Messe Exhibitor List Scraper extracts public exhibitor/company profiles from official NürnbergMesse event directories. It is built for trade-show lead generation, competitive monitoring, sponsor research, market mapping, and post-event outreach workflows.

The actor can export all exhibitors for selected event site codes or search by a keyword such as packaging, security, organic, sensor, or a company name.

Who is it for?

• 🧲 B2B sales teams building lead lists before or after NürnbergMesse events.
• 📣 Marketing agencies mapping exhibitors, sponsors, and category clusters.
• 🏢 Trade-show sponsors tracking booth presence and competitor participation.
• 🔎 Market researchers collecting public company profiles by industry segment.
• 🤝 Partnership teams finding companies active in specific fairs.

Why use this actor?

Manual copy-paste from exhibitor directories is slow and inconsistent. This actor gives you structured rows with names, booth data, categories, product groups, country/city, public email, profile URL, and descriptions in one dataset.

Supported NürnbergMesse event sites

The default input targets a practical set of high-value NürnbergMesse directories:

• fachpa — FACHPACK
• itsa — it-sa Expo&Congress
• biofach — BIOFACH
• embeddedworld — embedded world
• iwa — IWA OutdoorClassics
• interzoo — Interzoo

You can pass any public NürnbergMesse site code exposed in the official directory index.

What data can I extract?

How much does it cost to scrape Nürnberg Messe exhibitors?

The actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing: a small start fee plus a per-exhibitor charge. You can control cost with maxItems, selected eventSites, and a specific query.

Start with 100 exhibitors for a cheap sample run, then increase the limit when the output matches your workflow.

How to use

1. Open the actor on Apify.
2. Enter a search query or leave it empty.
3. Add event site codes such as fachpa or itsa.
4. Set maxItems.
5. Run the actor.
6. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.

Input options

query

Optional free-text search. Use company names, products, industry terms, or categories.

eventSites

Array of NürnbergMesse site codes. Example: ["fachpa", "itsa"].

startUrls

Optional NürnbergMesse URLs. The actor can infer known event codes from URLs when possible.

maxItems

Maximum number of exhibitor records to save across all selected events.

includeContacts

When enabled, the actor includes public employee/contact-person data exposed by NürnbergMesse.

{
  "query": "packaging",
  "eventSites": ["fachpa"],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "includeContacts": true
}

{
  "eventSite": "fachpa",
  "eventName": "FACHPACK",
  "exhibitorName": "A.HATZOPOULOS S.A.",
  "companyType": "Manufacturer",
  "booth": "5-5-420",

}

Tips for better results

• Use an empty query to export broad event lists.
• Use exact product terms for targeted lead lists.
• Run one event site at a time when you need clean event segmentation.
• Keep maxItems low for test runs.
• Disable includeContacts if you only need company-level rows.

Integrations

Use the dataset with:

• CRMs such as HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive.
• Google Sheets and Airtable enrichment workflows.
• Lead scoring pipelines.
• Competitor-monitoring dashboards.
• Email outreach tools, subject to applicable laws and platform rules.

Data freshness

The actor returns data available in NürnbergMesse's public search index at run time. Event directories can change before, during, and after fairs, so rerun the actor when you need fresh booth or contact information.

Legality and responsible use

This actor extracts publicly available business directory information. Always review your use case, local laws, privacy requirements, trade-show terms, and outreach rules. Do not spam contacts. Use the data responsibly and honor opt-out requests.

Troubleshooting

Why did I get zero results?

Try removing the query, checking the event site code, or increasing maxItems. Some event directories may be inactive outside their show cycle.

Why is a website or email missing?

NürnbergMesse only exposes these fields for some exhibitors. Missing fields mean the public directory did not provide that value for the record.

FAQ

Can I scrape multiple events in one run?

Yes. Add multiple eventSites, for example ["fachpa", "itsa"].

Can I export contacts?

Yes, when includeContacts is enabled and public contact-person fields are present.

Does this actor use a browser?

No. It uses HTTP requests against the public search index for speed and lower compute cost.
