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 ## B2B Supplier Directory Scraper Scrape company data from two major B2B supplier directories: **Kompass** and **Europages**. ### Directories | Directory | Companies | Coverage | Anti-bot | |-----------|-----------|----------|----------| | **Kompass** | 60M+ | Global, 70+ countries | DataDome (needs residential proxy) | | **Europages** | 2M+ | Europe, 26 countries | Light (accessible with proxy) | ### Features - **Multi-directory search** — Search both Kompass and Europages in one run - **Keyword search** — Find companies by product, service, or category - **Country filter** — Restrict results to a specific country - **Full company profiles** — Extract website, phone, email, address, products, certifications, employee count, year established - **Summary mode** — Fast mode that skips detail pages (name, location, type only) ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `directory` | select | ✅ | `both` | `kompass`, `europages`, or `both` | | `searchQuery` | string | ✅ | — | Product, category, or keyword | | `countryCode` | string | no | — | ISO country code (e.g. `DE`, `US`) | | `maxResults` | integer | no | `100` | Max companies to extract (up to 5000) | | `extractDetails` | boolean | no | `true` | Visit each company page for full details | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | no | Residential ON | **Required for Kompass** (DataDome anti-bot) | ### Output Each result contains: - Company name, URL, description - Country, city, full address - Phone, email, website - Employee count, year established - Products/services list - Business categories (Manufacturer, Distributor, etc.) - Source directory ### Anti-bot note Kompass uses DataDome anti-bot protection. **Residential proxies are required** for Kompass. The actor defaults to residential proxy ON. If you get empty results from Kompass, try running again — a fresh residential IP often passes the DataDome challenge. Europages is more accessible but may still block datacenter IPs. Residential proxy is recommended. ### Pricing Pay per event + usage. Platform costs (residential proxy traffic) are passed to the user via the "Pay per event + usage" toggle. B2B lead data commands premium pricing ($3-5/1K results is the market rate for this niche). # Actor input Schema ## `directory` (type: `string`): Which B2B directory to scrape. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Product, category, or keyword to search for. E.g. 'steel pipes', 'plastic injection molding', 'LED lighting'. ## `countryCode` (type: `string`): ISO country code to filter results (e.g. 'DE', 'US', 'FR'). Leave empty for global search. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of company profiles to extract. ## `extractDetails` (type: `boolean`): If true, visit each company page to extract full details (address, phone, website, products, certifications). If false, only returns search result summary data. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Residential proxy recommended for Kompass and Europages. Both sites may block datacenter IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "directory": "both", "maxResults": 100, "extractDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("du7chmaniac/b2b-supplier-directory-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
