Disclaimer: This is an unofficial integration developed independently of Siemens AG. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Siemens AG or any of its subsidiaries.

Siemens, SiePortal, SIMATIC, and related names are trademarks of Siemens AG. Product data is read from publicly accessible Siemens web sources only; no proprietary databases are redistributed.

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.

No warranty is given as to accuracy, completeness, or continued availability of third-party data. Use at your own risk.

Find and download Siemens product documents from SiePortal and SIOS (Siemens Industry Online Support): certificates (CE, UL, CCC, ATEX, FM), manuals, operating instructions, and engineering files.

For each part number, the Actor opens the product documents section on SiePortal, resolves direct download links on SIOS, and saves files to the run Key-Value Store with metadata in the dataset. Pair with the Document PDF Parser to extract structured specifications from downloaded PDFs.

This is the SIOS document pipeline. For compact TED product datasheets from Industry Mall, use the TED Datasheet Downloader instead.

When to use this Actor

Use the Document Downloader when you need Siemens compliance certificates, equipment manuals, or engineering files saved as PDFs — not just links.

For structured specs extracted from those PDFs, chain with the Document PDF Parser. For web PDP specifications without PDF download, use the SiePortal Scraper.

Key Features

• Certificate discovery — CE, UL, CCC, ATEX, FM, and other compliance documents from SiePortal PDPs.
• Manuals and engineering files — Knowledge base entries and engineering file tabs on the product page.
• SIOS download resolution — Resolves direct attachments/...?download=true URLs from SIOS document pages.
• Key-Value Store export — Saves PDFs with predictable keys ({MPN}_{documentId}_{filename}).
• Document type filter — Collect all types or only certificates, manuals, or engineering files.
• Split browser strategy — SiePortal uses a direct connection; SIOS downloads use the configured proxy to avoid Akamai blocks.

Pricing

Pay-per-event billing. You are charged only for successfully delivered dataset items; NOT_FOUND, FAILED, NO_DOCUMENTS, and NO_DOWNLOAD_LINK rows are not billed.

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.05 per run
Downloaded document	$25.00 / 1,000 ($0.025 per PDF)
Metadata-only document	$5.00 / 1,000 ($0.005 per row)

Configure these events in the Apify Store Publication tab: apify-actor-start, downloaded-document, and document-item. Disable apify-default-dataset-item to avoid double billing.
