Tips for best results

• Start small: Use maxItems: 10 until output quality and pricing are verified.
• Prefer precise categories: Europages category URLs usually produce cleaner supplier lists than broad keywords.
• Use detail enrichment selectively: includeDetails can add public contacts but makes runs slower because profile pages are visited.
• Expect optional blanks: Europages does not expose every phone, email, website, or certification publicly.

API usage

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor("fetch_cat/europages-suppliers-scraper").call({
  startUrls: [{ url: "https://www.europages.co.uk/companies/machining.html" }],
  maxItems: 30,
  includeDetails: false
});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/europages-suppliers-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.europages.co.uk/companies/machining.html" }],
    "maxItems": 30,
    "includeDetails": False,
})
print(run["defaultDatasetId"])

cURL:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~europages-suppliers-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Limits and caveats

• Public data only: The Actor does not log in, submit forms, reveal private contacts, or access private messages.
• Coverage: Results depend on Europages public pages and category availability.
• Freshness: Supplier details can change after a run finishes.
• Rate limits: Public endpoints may throttle very large or frequent runs; keep concurrency conservative.

FAQ

Can I export results?

Yes. Apify datasets support JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, and API access.

Why are some fields empty?

Some Europages profiles do not expose every contact or company detail publicly. The Actor leaves unavailable fields empty instead of guessing.

Does this submit Europages contact forms?

No. It only extracts information visible on public listing and company profile pages.

Support

Open an issue from the Actor page if a run fails or output looks wrong. Include the run ID or run URL, input JSON, expected output, actual output, and a reproducible public URL such as a Europages category or profile page.
