This Actor is provided for informational and research purposes only (e.g. procurement research, BOM audits, internal engineering workflows). You are solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable laws, Siemens website terms of use, and your organization's policies.

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)

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 for structured spec extraction.

For certificates, manuals, and engineering files from SIOS, use the Document Downloader 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. For web PDP data, use the SiePortal Scraper.

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. Spaces allowed.	—
language	TED datasheet language code.	en
downloadFile	Save PDF to Key-Value Store. When false, metadata and URL only.	true
maxConcurrency	Parallel TED requests.	3
requestDelayMs	Minimum delay between HTTP requests.	—
maxRetries	Retries for transient 403/429/5xx responses.	—
proxyConfiguration	Optional — usually not required.	—

Input Example

{
  "searchTerms": [
    "3SU1950-0FP80-0AA0-Z Y05",
    "6ES7214-1AG40-0XB0"
  ],
  "language": "en",
  "downloadFile": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}

Output Format

One dataset record per searchTerm:

Field	Description
partNumber	Input MLFB
downloadUrl	TED endpoint URL
fileName	PDF filename
keyValueStoreKey	Key in run Key-Value Store (when downloaded)
status	DOWNLOADED, METADATA_ONLY, NOT_FOUND, or FAILED

Status values

status	Meaning
DOWNLOADED	TED PDF saved to Key-Value Store
METADATA_ONLY	Valid URL, downloadFile=false
NOT_FOUND	MLFB not found (Product does not exist.)
FAILED	HTTP or unexpected response error

Typical Workflow

MLFB list
    │
    ▼
TED Datasheet Downloader  →  PDFs in Key-Value Store
    │
    ▼
TED Datasheet Parser  →  structured specs, tables, limits

Actor Comparison

Task	TED Datasheet Downloader	Document Downloader	TED Datasheet Parser
Download TED catalog PDF	Yes	No	No
Download SIOS manuals/certs	No	Yes	No
Parse PDF to JSON	No	No	Yes
Browser required	No	Yes	No

Pricing

Pay-per-event billing. NOT_FOUND and FAILED rows are not billed.

Event	Price	When charged
downloaded-datasheet	$2.00 / 1,000 ($0.002 per PDF)	DOWNLOADED only
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	each run

At ~80% TED hit rate, $2/1,000 successful PDFs provides healthy margin over platform cost while staying well below browser-based Actors.
