🔍 What does GSMA MWC exhibitor directory scraper do?

This Actor collects the public exhibitor directory published by GSMA Mobile World Congress for its Barcelona and Kigali editions and turns it into structured rows you can use anywhere. Choose an edition, set a limit, and press start.

Each row includes the exhibitor's company name, exhibitor type, country, hall and stand numbers, interests, logo, and whether they are a startup or part of the 4YFN (4 Years From Now) startup track. Product listings with descriptions, images, and video links are included whenever an exhibitor has published them. Turn on the extra detail option to also pull the exhibitor's own website and social media links.

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.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping the GSMA MWC exhibitor directory legal?

This Actor collects only public data that anyone can view on the MWC website without logging in. Scraping public data is generally legal, but you are responsible for how you use the results. Follow GSMA's terms and applicable laws.

Do I need an MWC account or login?

No. The Actor needs no login and no account. Just choose an edition and press start.

Which MWC editions are supported?

MWC Barcelona and MWC Kigali are built in. MWC Las Vegas has been discontinued and replaced by a separate, invitation-only event with no public exhibitor directory, so it is not supported. Use the custom index name option to try another edition not listed here.

Why do some exhibitors have fewer fields than others?

Not every exhibitor fills in every field on the MWC platform. Some publish a full product list, others just a name and stand location. 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 an edition's exhibitor directory automatically, and send the output straight to your app or spreadsheet.
