## What's an Apify Actor?

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).

# README

## 🏢 Messe Düsseldorf exhibitor directory scraper: 5 fairs, full contacts

**Pull the complete exhibitor directory for any Messe Düsseldorf trade fair, with company contacts, hall and stand numbers, logos, and product categories included.** Point it at K, Caravan Salon, Medica, Boot, or drupa and get every exhibitor as one clean, ready-to-use row. No login, no manual clicking through thousands of exhibitor pages.

### 🔍 What does Messe Düsseldorf exhibitor directory scraper do?

This Actor collects the public exhibitor directory published by [Messe Düsseldorf](https://www.messe-duesseldorf.com/) 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, phone, email, and website, along with their hall and booth location, logo, product categories, individual products, and social media links. Named contact persons are included whenever an exhibitor has published them.

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 Messe Düsseldorf exhibitor directory scraper?

Messe Düsseldorf runs some of the largest trade fairs in the world, from K for plastics and rubber to Medica for medical technology to Boot for boats and watersports. Manually browsing a directory of thousands of exhibitors to build a lead list takes days per fair.

- **B2B lead generation**: build a targeted list of exhibitors by fair, country, or product category, complete with contact details.
- **Market and competitor research**: see which companies are exhibiting, where their booth is, and what they sell.
- **Sales and partnership outreach**: reach exhibitors directly using published emails, phone numbers, and social profiles.
- **Event planning and logistics**: pull hall and booth numbers for an entire fair in one run.
- **Sourcing and procurement**: filter exhibitors by product category to find new suppliers.

3. Set **Max exhibitors** to cap how many records you want.
4. Press **Start** and watch the results fill the Output tab.
5. Download the dataset in JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect it to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, or your own app.

### 💰 Pricing

Set Max exhibitors to keep any run within your budget, and start small to preview the data before scaling up.

### ❓ FAQ

#### Is scraping the Messe Düsseldorf exhibitor directory legal?

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

#### Do I need a Messe Düsseldorf account or login?

No. The Actor needs no login and no account. Just choose a fair and press start.

#### Which fairs are supported?

K (plastics and rubber), Caravan Salon (RVs and caravans), Medica (medical technology), Boot (boats and watersports), and drupa (print technology) are built in. Any other Messe Düsseldorf fair running on the same platform can be scraped with the Custom domain option.

#### Why do some exhibitors have fewer fields than others?

Not every exhibitor fills in every field on Messe Düsseldorf's platform. Some publish a phone number but not an email, or list products but no social links. 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.

# Actor input Schema

## `fair` (type: `string`):

Which Messe Dusseldorf trade fair's exhibitor directory to scrape. Pick 'Custom domain' to target any other fair running on the same DIMEDIS vis-api platform (e.g. a future or regional Messe Dusseldorf show).

## `customDomain` (type: `string`):

Only used when Trade fair is set to 'Custom domain'. Enter the fair's own domain, e.g. 'www.medica-tradefair.com' or just 'medica-tradefair.com'.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of exhibitors to push to the dataset. Use 0 for no limit (scrapes the entire directory for the selected fair). You are billed per exhibitor returned.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

The Messe Dusseldorf vis-api is a public, unauthenticated JSON 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": "k",
  "customDomain": "www.medica-tradefair.com",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
