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 ## 🏢 AFAG Messe exhibitor directory scraper: interlift, Consumenta & more **Pull the complete exhibitor directory for any AFAG Messe trade fair, with company email, phone, fax, website, full address, hall and stand numbers, logos, and resolved product categories included.** Point it at interlift, Consumenta, Stone+tec, or any other supported fair and get every exhibitor as one clean, ready-to-use row. No login, no manual clicking through thousands of exhibitor pages. ### 🔍 What does AFAG Messe exhibitor directory scraper do? This Actor collects the public exhibitor directory published by [AFAG Messen und Ausstellungen](https://www.afag.de/en/) for its trade fairs and turns it into structured rows you can use anywhere. Choose a fair, set a limit, and press start. Each row includes the exhibitor's company name, full address, email, phone, fax, and website, along with their hall and stand location, logo, and resolved product or industry categories. A company description is included whenever the organizer's fair publishes one. Because it runs on the Apify platform, you also get scheduling, ready-made integrations, run monitoring, and clean exports in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS. ### 💡 Why use AFAG Messe exhibitor directory scraper? AFAG organizes specialized European trade fairs including interlift, the world's leading elevator industry expo, and Consumenta, a major consumer goods and lifestyle fair. Manually browsing a directory of hundreds or thousands of exhibitors to build a lead list takes hours per fair. - **B2B lead generation**: build a targeted list of exhibitors by fair, country, or product category, complete with direct email and phone. - **Market and competitor research**: see which companies are exhibiting, where their stand is, and what they sell. - **Sales and partnership outreach**: reach exhibitors directly using published emails, phone numbers, and websites. - **Event planning and logistics**: pull hall and stand numbers for an entire fair in one run. - **Sourcing and procurement**: filter exhibitors by product category to find new suppliers. ### 🚀 How to use AFAG Messe exhibitor directory scraper 1. Click **Try for free** at the top of this page. 2. Pick a **trade fair**: interlift, Consumenta, Stone+tec, FreizeitMesse, akustika Nürnberg, THE VILLAGE whisk(e)y fair, or All fairs to pull every exhibitor across every supported fair in one run. 3. Set **Max exhibitors** to cap how many records you want. 4. Leave **Fetch full company details** on to include phone, fax, website, and address, or turn it off for a faster, lighter run with only company name, email, hall, stand, and categories. 5. Press **Start** and watch the results fill the Output tab. 6. Download the dataset in JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect it to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, or your own app. New here? A first run of 10 to 20 items is a great way to see the output shape before scaling up to a full fair. ### 📥 Input Set these fields in the Console form, or pass them as JSON. | Field | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | Trade fair | enum | No | Which fair to scrape: interlift, Consumenta, Stone+tec, FreizeitMesse, akustika Nürnberg, THE VILLAGE whisk(e)y fair, All fairs, or Custom topic. Defaults to interlift. | | Custom fair topic | string | No | Only used with Custom topic. The fair's internal topic code, for a fair not in the built-in list. | | Search query | string | No | Optional free-text filter matched against company name, product, and keywords.

Use 0 for no limit. | | Fetch full company details | boolean | No | When enabled (default), adds phone, fax, website, and address for each exhibitor. Roughly doubles request count. | | Proxy configuration | object | No | Not required for this fair directory. Datacenter proxy is used by default. | ### 📤 Output Every exhibitor becomes one clean row. Here is a real example from interlift: ```json { "exhibitorId": "129306", "fair": "interlift", "fairLabel": "interlift (elevator industry, interlift.de)", "companyName": "ABT Poliuretan San. Tic.", "email": "info@abtpoliuretan.com", "city": "Basaksehir-Istanbul", "postCode": "34490", "country": "Türkiye", "countryCode": "TR", "hall": "Hall 3", "booth": "E107", "categories": [ "Touchdown buffer - energy storing", "Rollers for elevators", "Spare parts for elevators", "Guide rails with accessories" ], "logoUrl": "https://static.event-cloud.com/2025_interlift/uploads/88e7e031-372a-47ff-82d2-5d88db9a47a5-00658569-6f75-493b-a7f3-77db11298321", "profileUrl": "https://www.interlift.de/en/exhibitor-search#/detail/abt-poliuretan-san-tic--129306", "phone": "+90-212-4855173", "fax": "+90-212-4855302", "website": "https://www.abttampon.com", "address": "Ikitelli o.

Set Max exhibitors to keep any run within your budget, and start small to preview the data before scaling up. ### ❓ FAQ #### Is scraping the AFAG Messe exhibitor directory legal? This Actor collects only public data that anyone can view on AFAG's fair websites without logging in. Scraping public data is generally legal, but you are responsible for how you use the results. Follow AFAG's terms and applicable laws. #### Do I need an AFAG account or login? No. The Actor needs no login and no account. Just choose a fair and press start. #### Which fairs are supported? interlift, Consumenta, Stone+tec, FreizeitMesse, akustika Nürnberg, and THE VILLAGE whisk(e)y fair are built in. Select All fairs to pull every supported AFAG fair in one run, or use the Custom topic option for another fair on the same platform. #### Why do some exhibitors have fewer fields than others? Not every exhibitor fills in every field on AFAG's platform. Some publish a phone number but no fax, or a description but no logo. This Actor never fills in guesses. It only returns what the exhibitor actually published. #### Can I schedule automatic runs? Yes. Use the Apify Scheduler to refresh a fair's exhibitor directory automatically, and send the output straight to your app or spreadsheet. ### 🛟 Support Found a bug, or need an extra field? Open an issue on the **Issues** tab of this Actor and it will be reviewed. Custom versions and larger data pulls are available on request. # Actor input Schema ## `fair` (type: `string`): Which AFAG Messe trade fair's exhibitor directory to scrape. Pick 'All fairs' to pull every exhibitor across every supported fair in one run, or 'Custom topic' for a fair not listed here. ## `customTopic` (type: `string`): Only used when Trade fair is set to 'Custom topic'. Enter the fair's Corussoft topic code, visible in the fair's own '/en/exhibitor-search' page source as the 'topic=' query parameter on the onlineguideLauncher script tag (e.g. '2026\_eltec'). ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Optional free-text filter, matched the same way as the fair site's own exhibitor search box (company name, product, keyword). Leave empty to return every exhibitor for the selected fair. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of exhibitor records to push to the dataset. Use 0 for no limit (returns the entire directory for the selected fair). You are billed per exhibitor returned. ## `fetchCompanyDetails` (type: `boolean`): When enabled (default), makes one extra request per exhibitor to add phone, fax, website, full address, and description on top of the company name, email, hall/stand, and categories already included from the directory listing. Roughly doubles request count but is the only way to get phone and address. Disable for a faster, lighter run when you only need the summary fields. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): The Corussoft backend used by this Actor is a public, unauthenticated API with no observed WAF, rate limiting, or IP filtering during testing. No proxy is required by default; enable Datacenter or Residential only if you see request failures at very high volume. ## Actor input object example ```json { "fair": "interlift", "customTopic": "2026_eltec", "maxItems": 100, "fetchCompanyDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `exhibitors` (type: `string`): No description ## `runStats` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
