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 ## 🏢 Messe Berlin exhibitor directory scraper: IFA Berlin exhibitors **Pull every exhibitor from the IFA Berlin directory, complete with country, show area category, hall and stand number, company description, logo, and any published press contact emails.** No login required. ### 🔍 What does Messe Berlin exhibitor directory scraper do? IFA Berlin is one of the world's largest consumer electronics trade fairs, and Messe Berlin publishes a full public exhibitor directory for it. This scraper collects that directory and returns clean, structured company records you can use right away. Point it at the IFA Berlin exhibitor list, and for each company you get the name, country, show area category, hall and stand location, a company description, logo image, and press contact emails when an exhibitor has published them, all pulled directly from the fair's own pages. Running on Apify also gives you scheduling, a full API, ready integrations with Google Sheets, Make, and Zapier, and automatic run monitoring. ### 💡 Why use Messe Berlin exhibitor directory scraper? - **Market mapping.** Build a full picture of the consumer electronics industry by pulling every exhibitor across every product category at the show. - **Competitive research.** Track which companies are exhibiting, what category they fall under, and where their stand is located. - **Event planning.** Cross-reference hall and stand numbers to plan an efficient floor route ahead of the show. - **Press and media outreach.** Some exhibitors publish direct press contact emails for their booth or press conference.

### 🛠️ Tips and advanced options - **Scrape ahead of the show.** Run this a few weeks before IFA Berlin to build your exhibitor list and plan which stands to visit. - **Combine with hall and stand data.** Use the hall and stand fields to group exhibitors and plan an efficient floor route. - **Filter by show area.** Use the showAreas field to focus on a specific product category, such as Home Appliances or Computing & Gaming. - **Schedule yearly runs.** The exhibitor list refreshes for each edition of the fair, so a yearly schedule keeps your dataset current. ### ❓ Frequently asked questions **Is it legal to scrape the IFA Berlin exhibitor directory?** Scraping publicly available exhibitor directory data is generally legal in most jurisdictions. This scraper collects only public company information. You are responsible for how you use the data and for following the fair site's terms and applicable laws. **Do I need an IFA Berlin account or login?** No. The scraper reads public exhibitor pages, so no account or password is needed. **Why is a field like description or pressContactEmails missing for some exhibitors?** Not every exhibitor publishes every field. A general company email, phone number, street address, or website is not part of this dataset because the fair site does not reliably publish that information per exhibitor. The scraper only returns fields that are genuinely present for each company, so your dataset stays accurate and free of guessed values. **Does this Actor cover other Messe Berlin fairs, like ITB Berlin?** Not currently. IFA Berlin is the only Messe Berlin fair confirmed to run on the exhibitor directory platform this Actor supports. Other Messe Berlin fair websites use a different structure without a comparable public exhibitor directory. ### 🛟 Support Found a problem or need a field that is missing? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. Custom scraping solutions are available on request. ### 🔗 Other actors - [Messe Frankfurt exhibitor directory scraper: all fairs, full contacts](https://apify.com/getascraper/messe-frankfurt-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - pulls exhibitor contacts and booths from any Messe Frankfurt trade fair. - [Messe Düsseldorf exhibitor directory scraper: 5 fairs, full contacts](https://apify.com/getascraper/messe-duesseldorf-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - collects exhibitor directories across K, Medica, Boot, and more. - [Messe Essen exhibitor directory scraper: Security Essen, IPM Essen & Schweissen & Schneiden](https://apify.com/getascraper/messe-essen-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - exports exhibitor lists from Messe Essen's trade fairs. - [Koelnmesse exhibitor directory scraper: contacts, stands & brands](https://apify.com/getascraper/koelnmesse-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - scrapes exhibitor contacts and stands from Koelnmesse fairs. - [NürnbergMesse exhibitor directory scraper: 12 fairs, named contacts](https://apify.com/getascraper/nuernberg-messe-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - pulls named exhibitor contacts across 12 NürnbergMesse fairs. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Exhibitor list pages to start from.
