Why use this scraper?

The USDA directory is public but optimized for manual search. This actor turns those public results into a machine-readable dataset that can be exported to CSV, Excel, JSON, Google Sheets, databases, BI tools, and compliance workflows.

The actor uses the official USDA Organic INTEGRITY Database at https://organic.ams.usda.gov/integrity/.

Tips for best results

• Start with a product and country for sourcing workflows.
• Use includeDetails: true only when you need contact fields.
• Use direct profile URLs for repeat monitoring of known suppliers.
• Increase maxItems gradually after confirming the filter returns relevant records.
• Export to CSV for spreadsheet review or JSON for automated pipelines.

Common workflows

Supplier verification

Search by operation name or direct profile URL, then export status, certifier, NOP ID, and status effective date.

Organic ingredient sourcing

Search by product and country to find certified suppliers for ingredients such as mango, wheat, coffee, cotton, oilseed, or livestock products.

Certifier portfolio analysis

Filter by certifier to build a dataset of public operations associated with an accredited certifier.

Compliance monitoring

Schedule recurring runs for direct profile URLs and compare status or contact fields over time.

Legality

Is it legal to scrape USDA Organic INTEGRITY?

This actor extracts publicly available information from an official government directory. You are responsible for using the data lawfully and respecting applicable privacy, compliance, and procurement rules.

Limitations

• The USDA site is a Blazor application, so runs use a browser and are slower than pure API actors.
• Some profile fields are optional and may be missing from public records.
• Search filters depend on the public directory behavior; the actor also applies local filtering to improve output relevance.

FAQ

Can I scrape contacts from USDA Organic INTEGRITY?

Yes. Enable includeDetails to open each public operation profile and extract contact, address, phone, email, website, and certification-date fields when USDA publishes them.

Troubleshooting

Why did I get fewer records than maxItems?

The public directory may contain fewer matching records than your filters request. Try broadening product, country, certifier, or operation filters.

Why are contact fields empty?

Enable includeDetails. Some USDA operation profiles still do not publish every contact field.

Why is my first run slow?

The actor launches a browser because the USDA directory renders results through Blazor. Disable profile details for faster list-only searches.
