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 Datasheet PDF Parser — TED Specs > **Crawloop Siemens Automation Suite** — Structured data extraction for Siemens SiePortal (Industry Mall), SIOS, and TED product datasheets.

Use at your own risk. Parse-only extractor for official Siemens **TED product data sheet PDFs**. Reads PDF bytes from a Key-Value Store and outputs structured specifications, technical tables, and limit values. No browser, no SiePortal session, no proxy. Pair with the [TED Datasheet Downloader](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-datasheet-downloader?fpr=guboir) in a two-step pipeline: download TED PDFs first, then parse with this Actor. For SIOS equipment manuals and certificates, use the [Document PDF Parser](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-product-document-pdf-crawler?fpr=guboir) instead. For combined discover-and-parse of SIOS documents, see the legacy [Document PDF Parser discover mode](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-product-document-pdf-crawler?fpr=guboir). ### When to use this Actor Use the **TED Datasheet Parser** when you have TED product datasheet PDFs in Key-Value Store (from the TED Datasheet Downloader) and need structured JSON specs extracted from the PDF content. Use the [Document PDF Parser](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-product-document-pdf-crawler?fpr=guboir) for SIOS manuals, certificates, and brochures. ### 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 certificates, manuals, CAD compact catalog PDFs │ │ ▼ ▼ Document PDF Parser TED Datasheet Parser ◄── you are here specs from SIOS PDFs specs from TED PDFs ```` ### Key Features - **Parse-only** — No browser; reads PDF bytes directly from Key-Value Store. - **TED datasheet focus** — Optimized for compact Industry Mall product data sheet PDFs. - **Specification extraction** — Key-value pairs, technical tables, and limit values. - **Wiring diagrams** — Optional image extraction from PDF pages to Key-Value Store. - **Parallel processing** — Configurable concurrency for bulk parsing runs. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Description | Default | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `keyValueStoreId` | **Required** when using `items` or `keyValueStoreKeys`.
