Crawloop B2B architecture & design data — ArchiExpo product catalogs plus company directories (Europages / WLW).

ArchiExpo scraper for Apify — a practical ArchiExpo API alternative that turns the architecture and design marketplace into structured JSON. Scrape product title, model, manufacturer, characteristics, specifications, images, PDF catalogs, and company websites from keywords, category listings, manufacturer stands, or product URLs.

Built for furniture and lighting sourcing, kitchen / bath & flooring shortlists, building-materials competitive intelligence, and catalog monitoring. Run from the Console, Python, Node.js, or MCP. Fast HTTP crawl via curl_cffi — parses VirtualExpo __preloadData__ (no headless browser).

Use cases

Use case	What you get
Product shortlists by type	Keyword → architecture-design-manufacturer listing → product rows (sofa, lighting, kitchen sink, flooring, …)
Characteristic comparison	Applications, Material, Other characteristics and feature rows for side-by-side research
Manufacturer catalog pull	All products on a stand URL with optional full PDP enrichment
PDF catalog harvest	Linked datasheet / brochure titles and viewer URLs
Website enrichment	External manufacturer website + off-platform product link when published
Category deep-dive	/cat/ pages expand into child product-type listings

When to use this Actor

• You need an ArchiExpo scraper that returns dataset rows (not just company contacts)
• You have keywords, listing URLs, manufacturer stands, or product PDPs
• You want characteristics, specs, images, and PDF catalogs in one JSON export
• You prefer a browser-free crawl callable from Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP

When not to use this Actor

• Guaranteed live prices / stock — most listings are RFQ / price-on-request
• Sending RFQs through the portal contact form — this Actor is read-only extraction
• Company-directory firmographics (VAT, phone) — use Europages or WLW instead
• Trade-show booth floor plans — different job; this Actor is the year-round ArchiExpo OEM / product catalog
• Authenticated MySpace-only fields — public pages only

Key features

• Keyword search — resolves via ArchiExpo kwref sitemaps to listing URLs
• Listing & category URLs — paginated architecture-design-manufacturer pages; /cat/ expands to children
• Manufacturer stands — crawl all product cards on a company stand
• Product detail enrichment — fetchDetails parses __preloadData__ for full specs
• VirtualExpo portal switch — optional portal for sister hosts (DirectIndustry, MedicalExpo, …)
• Streaming results — dataset rows appear while the run is in progress
• Deduped push — unique by portal + productId within a run
• Pagination controls — maxPages + maxItems for predictable run size
• Lightweight & resilient — Chrome TLS fingerprinting, proxy session rotation on WAF challenges

MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via Apify MCP. Connect your Apify account, then call crawloop/archiexpo-scraper.

Example prompts:

• "Run ArchiExpo Scraper for keyword sofa, max 30, return title, companyName, features, specifications as JSON"
• "Scrape ArchiExpo lighting listings and summarize manufacturers and material specs"
• "Chain ArchiExpo Scraper then Europages Scraper to map architecture catalogs to EU company contacts"

Suite next step

For Europe-wide company contacts / VAT / firmographics, run Europages Scraper. For DACH-only suppliers, use WLW Scraper.

FAQ

Is this an ArchiExpo API?
No official public product API is required. This Actor is an ArchiExpo scraper / API alternative that returns structured dataset rows you can call from Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP.

How do I scrape ArchiExpo with Python or Node.js?
Use the Apify client examples above, or call the Actor from an AI assistant via Apify MCP. Export the default dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Does keyword search need exact listing URLs?
No — keywords are matched against ArchiExpo kwref sitemaps (e.g. sofa → sofa listing). Prefer exact listing URLs when you already have them.

Can I scrape DirectIndustry or MedicalExpo with the same Actor?
Set portal to directindustry or medicalexpo (and other sister portals). Page patterns are shared across VirtualExpo; ArchiExpo is the primary tested host for this Actor.

Why are some rows missing phone/email or price?
This Actor targets product catalog fields. ArchiExpo is RFQ-oriented — public prices and manufacturer phones are usually not on product pages. Enrich firmographics with Europages or WLW.
