## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Use the public directory and map data that event organizers already publish. The Actor collects only available fields and leaves unpublished values out of each record.

### 🔍 What does GoShow exhibitor directory scraper do?

GoShow powers public exhibitor lists and exhibit maps for trade shows and conferences. This Actor starts with one public GoShow exhibitor-list or exhibit-map URL and discovers that event's published configuration.

It combines the event directory with map-scoped listings, removes duplicate exhibitors, and can enrich the selected parent exhibitors with public profile data. Filter the result by company or keyword, country, hall or stand, and category. Choose flat parent rows or exploded parent and co-exhibitor rows.

Every completed run also saves a source-backed summary. It records the event, source coverage, filtering outcome, saved-record count, detail coverage, and public-source request counts.

### 💡 Why use GoShow exhibitor directory scraper?

- **I am an event researcher** looking to map who is exhibiting, where they are located, and which categories they represent before comparing an event with prior editions.
- **I am on a sales team** looking to build a focused list of companies attending a trade show, then narrow it by country, hall, stand, or category for outreach planning.
- **I am a lead-generation operator** looking to turn published exhibitor profiles into clean, source-linked company records without copying listings by hand.
- **I am on a data team** looking to supply a repeatable event dataset with event details, public profile status, and source coverage for downstream analysis.

Start with a small parent-exhibitor limit when you want to check an event's published fields before collecting a larger set.

### 📦 Output and run statistics

Each dataset row represents a public exhibitor record. Flat output saves parent exhibitors. Exploded output also adds one row per published stand, category, product, contact, and co-exhibitor, each linked back to its parent through `parentExhibitorId`.

The run statistics record provides the completion status, event identity and source URL, parent cap, matched parent count, saved-record count, list and map coverage, detail results, and public-source request counters. Use it to understand the scope and outcome of a run.

### ❓ FAQ

##### Which GoShow events can I use?

Use a public GoShow exhibitor-list or exhibit-map URL. The Actor processes one event per run and returns only the data that event currently publishes.

##### Does it collect private contact information?

No. It collects only contact details and profile fields published in the event directory. Missing public fields are left out rather than guessed.

##### How current are the exhibitor and map records?

Each run reads the event's public directory and available map listings at run time. Re-run an event when you need its latest published exhibitor list or floor location data.

##### What happens if a profile or map listing is unavailable?

With Allow Partial Results enabled, verified directory records are kept if an individual map or profile is unavailable. Turn it off when you prefer the run to stop instead.
