EXHIBITOR DIRECTORY COLLECTION   •  Structured public exhibitor records from German trade fair indexes
Deutsche Messe ➤ You are here	Messe Frankfurt Fair exhibitor directories	Messe Düsseldorf Exhibitors across five fairs

Turn official Deutsche Messe exhibitor indexes into a filtered B2B dataset. Export company, stand, country, category, contact, and profile data from one official event directory at a time.

📄 Official CSV first Start with the fair's published export for dependable enumeration.

🔎 Focus the list Narrow records by letter, company, country, hall, stand, or category.

📇 Enrich profiles Add public contact, product, brand, and category details when available.

🧾 Keep provenance Retain event, source, profile, collection, and run-status context.

Use the official Deutsche Messe exhibitor index as your source of truth. The Actor reads the published CSV first, including ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 exports, then uses the official HTML directory when no usable CSV is available. It preserves the official directory and profile links on every record.

🎯 What does this Actor do?

This Actor exports public exhibitor records from supported Deutsche Messe event directories. It supports a flat table with one row per exhibitor or exploded output with separate child rows for contacts, categories, products, and co-exhibitors.

Details are optional. When enabled, the Actor reads each public profile for richer fields, then keeps only source-published values. It never substitutes missing company facts.

⚡ Choose CSV-first enumeration for a reliable event list. Use the official HTML directory as a fallback, with the source used recorded in the run statistics.

❓ FAQ

Which exhibitor directory URLs can I use?

Use an HTTPS exhibitor-index URL from a supported official Deutsche Messe event site. The Actor validates the directory URL before collecting records.

Does it use the official exhibitor list?

Yes. It first looks for the official CSV export, including ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 files. If that export is unavailable, it reads the official HTML directory instead.

Can I filter Deutsche Messe exhibitors by category?

Yes. Set categoryQuery and leave fetchDetails enabled. Categories come from public exhibitor profiles, so category filtering needs profile enrichment.

What happens if an exhibitor profile is unavailable?

With allowPartialResults enabled, the Actor retains the directory row and marks detailStatus as failed. The RUN_STATS record reports profile failures and the run status.
