## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

# README

### 🤩 Overview

**Thomasnet** scraper PRO: paste **suppliers or companies search URLs**, get **company profiles** in your dataset, and export as **JSON, CSV**, or Excel.

- **Easy**: one main field: `startUrl`
- **Rich profiles**: name, phone, website, address, products, news, emails, and more
- **Transparent pricing**: **$1 per 1,000** results
- **Super fast & resilient**
- **Export-ready**: one row per supplier, ready for CRM, spreadsheets, or your own tools

### 📚 How to use this actor

1. [Create a free Apify account](https://apify.com/sign-up?fpr=cbgdsf) if you need one.
2. On [thomasnet.com](https://www.thomasnet.com), run a **suppliers or companies search** (keyword, category, location - whatever you need).
3. Copy the **full URL** from your browser’s address bar.
4. Paste it into **`startUrl`**, set **`maxItems`**, and start the run.

Example:

`https://www.thomasnet.com/suppliers/search?searchterm=air&search_type=all&search_ref=search`

Only **`startUrl`** is required.

### 🤔 Why Thomasnet data?

- **Market research**: export profiles for analysis in sheets or BI tools
- **Repeatable lists**: save the same `startUrl` and run again when you need a fresh snapshot

**About $1 per 1,000** supplier profiles - no hidden fees.

| Profiles | Approximate cost |
| -------: | ----------------: |
| 100 | ~$0.10 |

### ❓ FAQ

#### How much does a run cost?

Only **$1 per 1,000** profiles, no hidden fees!

#### Why do I only get 5 results?

On the **free plan**, runs are capped at **5 profiles** so you can check data quality before scaling up.

#### Can I scrape more than one search?

Yes: run the actor again with a different `startUrl`, or increase `maxItems` on a paid plan.

#### Is it legal to scrape Thomasnet?

This actor only collects **publicly visible** supplier information from search and profile pages. It is **not affiliated** with Thomasnet. For general guidance, see Apify’s article on [web scraping legality](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal?fpr=cbgdsf).
