You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### Europages B2B Directory Scraper — EU Supplier Leads Search **Europages** — Europe's largest B2B supplier and product directory (europages.co.uk / .com / .de, operated by Visable) — by keyword, and get back full company profiles: name, bio, street address, postal code, city, country, phone, website, plus employee headcount, founding year, geo coordinates, and supplier type. Built for prospecting suppliers and manufacturers across the EU without manually clicking through directory pages. #### What it does This actor searches Europages by any free-text keyword (e.g. `industrial machinery`, `solar panels`, `packaging machines`) and, for each matched company, visits its profile page to collect the full contact record. No login, no API key. Results are clean JSON dataset items, one row per company. #### Use cases - Building supplier/manufacturer prospect lists for a specific product category. - Scoping European suppliers before entering a new market. - Enriching a CRM with verified contact details, coordinates, and founding year. - Mapping supplier density by country or product type. #### Input - `searchQueries` — one or more keywords. Each is searched independently. - `country` — optional 2-letter ISO filter (e.g. `DE`, `FR`, `IT`, `PL`); applied after fetching, since Europages doesn't expose a documented country query parameter. - `maxItems` — max records per keyword. - `maxPages` — max listing pages fetched per keyword (~30 companies/page). - `fetchDetails` — fetch each company's profile page for phone/street/postal/bio/geo (default `true` — this is the actor's core value; without it you only get the leaner listing-page fields). - `proxyConfiguration` — Apify RESIDENTIAL, country DE prefilled (verified live). #### Fields returned `companyName`, `bio`, `street`, `postalCode`, `city`, `country`, `phone`, `email`, `website`, `foundingYear`, `employees`, `supplierTypes`, `distributionArea`, `geoLat`, `geoLon`, `keywords`, `logoUrl`, `europagesUrl`, `europagesId`, `searchQuery`, `detailFetched`, `scrapedAt`. #### Input Example ```json { "searchQueries": ["industrial machinery", "solar panels"], "country": "", "maxItems": 50, "maxPages": 3, "fetchDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "DE" } } ```` #### Output One dataset item per supplier company. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel or pull via the Apify API/MCP. Charged per delivered `supplier-record` — no subscription, no per-search directory cost like the site's own paywalled contact-reveal tiers. ### 🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP) This actor is agent-ready. Point any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, n8n AI, LangGraph) at it: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=bovi/europages-b2b-directory", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } } ``` # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): One or more keywords to search on Europages (e.g. 'industrial machinery', 'solar panels', 'packaging machines'). Each keyword is searched independently, up to Max items per keyword. ## `country` (type: `string`): Optional. Keep only suppliers based in this country (e.g. DE, FR, IT, PL). Leave blank for all countries. Applied after fetching results, so a tight filter on a rare country may need a higher maxPages to fill maxItems. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of supplier records to return per keyword. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): How many search-result pages (~30 companies/page) to fetch per keyword before stopping. ## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`): If true (recommended), visits each company's profile page to collect phone, street address, postal code, full bio and geo coordinates. If false, only the leaner listing-page fields are returned (no phone/street/postal/bio) but the run is faster. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Use Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group and a European country (DE prefilled) for reliable access to Europages. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "industrial machinery" ], "country": "", "maxItems": 20, "maxPages": 3, "fetchDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "DE" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset containing Europages B2B Directory Scraper records (companyName, bio, street, postalCode, city, country, phone, website, employees, foundingYear, supplierTypes, geoLat, geoLon, europagesUrl). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQueries": [ "industrial machinery" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "DE" } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("bovi/europages-b2b-directory").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
