ImportYeti Scraper | US Import Records & Bills of Lading

ImportYeti Scraper returns US import records from ImportYeti (ocean bills of lading from US customs data) as JSON, CSV or Excel. Give it importers such as Walmart or IKEA Supply, or suppliers such as Foxconn, and get either the latest bills of lading (date, supplier, supplier country and address, weight, quantity, containers, cargo description, route, estimated freight cost) or a company profile (total and last-12-month shipments, top 50 suppliers with volumes and HS codes, product categories, port lanes, monthly shipments for up to the last 24 months with shipments). With only-new mode it becomes a daily monitor of a competitor's or prospect's new shipments. $2 per 1,000 shipments, $10 per 1,000 profiles, no login.

How to scrape ImportYeti

1. In the Input tab, list importers in companies (names or ImportYeti URLs) and/or exporters in suppliers.
2. Choose shipments (recent bills of lading) or profile (one row per company).
3. Click Start and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read them through the API.
4. To monitor new shipments, turn on Only new since the last run and schedule the Actor daily.

An empty input {} returns Walmart's latest bills of lading.

Field	What it does
companies	US importers: Walmart, ikea-supply, or a URL like https://www.importyeti.com/company/wal-mart.
suppliers	Exporters: a name or a URL like https://www.importyeti.com/supplier/foxconn.
output	shipments (one row per bill of lading, up to the 50 newest per company) or profile (one row per company).

How much does it cost to scrape ImportYeti?

$2 per 1,000 shipments and $10 per 1,000 company profiles (each profile carries up to 50 suppliers, HS codes, lanes and the 24-month trend), plus $0.001 per run; SILVER plans pay 15% less, GOLD and above 30% less. Watching 20 small or mid-size importers daily with only-new mode typically costs a few cents a day; a very large importer can add up to 50 new bills of lading a day (about $0.10). Rows skipped by only-new mode, skipIds or the date filter are never charged.

Tips

• ImportYeti lists the 50 newest bills of lading per company page. Daily or weekly only-new runs catch every new one for most importers; very large importers (Walmart, Amazon) receive more than 50 a day, so the page shows only the latest.
• Different spellings that ImportYeti redirects to the same page (walmart, wal-mart, walmart-stores) are read and charged once. Separate legal entities (e.g. walmart vs walmart-com-usa) are separate pages; add each one you care about.
• Masked phone numbers and notify-party contacts on ImportYeti are not collected.

FAQ

Is there an ImportYeti API? Yes: ImportYeti sells an official REST API (data.importyeti.com) that needs an ImportYeti account, an API key and prepaid data credits (a company profile costs 1 credit; see docs.importyeti.com). This Actor is the no-account alternative: it reads the public company and supplier pages, needs no ImportYeti key or credits, and bills per row on your Apify account ($2 per 1,000 shipments, $10 per 1,000 profiles), with only-new mode for monitoring.

Where does the data come from? US Customs and Border Protection ocean manifests (bills of lading), as compiled and published by ImportYeti. Air and land shipments are not included, and some importers request manifest confidentiality.

How fresh is it? ImportYeti updates its database daily (databaseUpdated in profiles); shipments usually appear a few days after arrival.

Can I search by product or HS code? Not yet: ImportYeti's search runs in the browser behind bot protection. Start from company or supplier names.

Is it legal to scrape ImportYeti? The Actor reads public pages without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the data and for compliance with the site's terms.
