US Machine Shop & Fabricator Lead Scraper

Pull public US machine-shop and fabricator directory listings into flat, CRM-ready rows. Built for procurement shortlists, industrial outbound, and supplier discovery — not a generic Maps clone.

What you get

Each dataset row is one supplier listing with stable fields:

• Company name, primary phone, website (when published)
• Structured address (street, city, state, ZIP)
• Category headings, sourceUrl, stable supplierId
• Optional fields when the source exposes them: company type, employee/sales bands, year founded, certifications

Sources

Source	Role
ThomasNet	Primary industrial supplier directory (source=auto or thomasnet)
YellowPages	Reliable fallback / source=yellowpages — organic SERP cards

source=auto tries ThomasNet first and falls back to YellowPages on block, captcha, or empty results. ThomasNet often returns HTTP 403 / DataDome from datacenter IPs — enable Apify residential proxies for ThomasNet or auto on cloud. YellowPages typically works from datacenter IPs.

Shop-floor presets

• Machine shop pack
• CNC machining
• Sheet metal fabrication
• Welding / fab
• Precision grinding
• Injection molding
• Or custom free-text query

Pricing

Pay per event · event name supplier-scraped · $2.49 per 1,000 events (= $0.00249 per supplier row). Charged once per real dataset row. Dry-run / fixture rows are not charged.

Honest limits

• Public directory pages only. Field completeness varies by listing.
• No login walls, cookie farms, LinkedIn private data, or email-waterfall enrichment.
• Directory HTML can change; re-test after major site updates.
• Not affiliated with ThomasNet, Thomas Publishing, or Yellow Pages.

Disclaimer

Data is collected from publicly available directory pages. You are responsible for compliance with applicable laws and each source site’s terms of use. Provided as-is for informational / B2B research. Not legal advice.
