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? 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Siemens TED Datasheet Downloader — PDF > **Crawloop Siemens Automation Suite** — Structured data extraction for Siemens SiePortal (Industry Mall), SIOS, and TED product datasheets.

Download the official Siemens **TED product data sheet PDF** for each MLFB via the Industry Mall endpoint: ```` https://mall.industry.siemens.com/teddatasheet/?format=PDF\&mlfbs={MLFB}\&language={lang}\&caller=SiePortal ``` Example: [3SU1950-0FP80-0AA0-Z Y05 (EN PDF)](https://mall.industry.siemens.com/teddatasheet/?format=PDF&mlfbs=3SU1950-0FP80-0AA0-Z%20Y05&language=en&caller=SiePortal) This is **not** the SIOS equipment-manual flow. It is the same compact product datasheet PDF that SiePortal links to for catalog products — one MLFB, one TED PDF. No browser required. Pair with the [TED Datasheet Parser](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-datasheet-pdf-crawler?fpr=guboir) for structured spec extraction. For certificates, manuals, and engineering files from SIOS, use the [Document Downloader](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-document-downloader?fpr=guboir) instead. ### When to use this Actor Use the **TED Datasheet Downloader** when you need the official compact product datasheet PDF for Siemens catalog items — fast HTTP fetch, no Akamai browser session. For full SIOS document libraries (certificates, manuals, CAD), use the [Document Downloader](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-document-downloader?fpr=guboir). For web PDP data, use the [SiePortal Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-scraper?fpr=guboir). ### Siemens Automation Pipeline ``` Phase 1 — Discover MPNs Phase 2 — Screen & enrich Phase 3 — Documents & specs ───────────────────────── ───────────────────────── ───────────────────────────── Catalog Crawler ──┐ ├──► MPN list ──► Lifecycle Tracker ──► SiePortal Scraper Category Scraper ──┘ │ │ ┌────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┐ │ │ ▼ ▼ Document Downloader (SIOS) TED Datasheet Downloader ◄── you are here certificates, manuals, CAD compact catalog PDFs │ │ ▼ ▼ Document PDF Parser TED Datasheet Parser specs from SIOS PDFs specs from TED PDFs ```` ### Key Features - **Direct TED endpoint** — Fetches PDFs from `mall.industry.siemens.com/teddatasheet` without browser automation. - **One MLFB, one PDF** — Official compact product data sheet per part number. - **Key-Value Store export** — Saves PDFs for downstream parsing pipelines. - **Language selection** — TED language code (`en`, `de`, `fr`, …) passed to the Industry Mall endpoint. - **Low platform cost** — HTTP-only; proxy usually not required. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Description | Default | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `searchTerms` | **Required.** Siemens MLFB / order numbers.

One official TED product data sheet PDF is downloaded per value via mall.industry.siemens.com/teddatasheet. ## `language` (type: `string`): TED datasheet language code passed to the Siemens Industry Mall endpoint (e.g. en, de, fr). ## `downloadFile` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, saves the PDF to the run Key-Value Store. When disabled, returns metadata and download URL only. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Parallel TED requests. Lower values reduce WAF 403 rate limits on Apify datacenter IPs. ## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`): Minimum delay between TED HTTP requests. ## `maxRetries` (type: `integer`): Retries for transient HTTP 403/429/5xx responses with exponential backoff. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Usually not required. TED PDFs are fetched directly from mall.industry.siemens.com over HTTP. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerms": [ "3SU1950-0FP80-0AA0-Z Y05" ], "language": "en", "downloadFile": true, "maxConcurrency": 2, "requestDelayMs": 500, "maxRetries": 4, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
