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 Frankfurt exhibitor directory scraper: all fairs, full contacts **Pull the complete exhibitor directory for any Messe Frankfurt trade fair, with company contacts, hall and stand numbers, and product categories included.** Point it at Ambiente, Christmasworld, Creativeworld, or any other Messe Frankfurt fair, and get every exhibitor as one clean, ready-to-use row. No login, no manual clicking through hundreds of exhibitor pages. ### πŸ” What does Messe Frankfurt exhibitor directory scraper do? This Actor collects the public exhibitor directory published by [Messe Frankfurt](https://www.messefrankfurt.com/) for its trade fairs and turns it into structured rows you can use anywhere. Choose a fair, optionally narrow it with a keyword, and press start. Each row includes the exhibitor's company name, full address, country, email, phone, and website, along with their hall and stand location, social media links, and the product categories they exhibit under. 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. ### πŸ’‘ Why use Messe Frankfurt exhibitor directory scraper? Messe Frankfurt runs some of the largest trade fairs in Europe across dozens of industries, from home decor to consumer goods to festive products. Manually browsing the exhibitor directory to build a lead list takes hours 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 stand 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 stand numbers for an entire fair in one run. - **Sourcing and procurement**: filter exhibitors by product category to find new suppliers. ### πŸš€ How to use Messe Frankfurt exhibitor directory scraper 1. Click **Try for free** at the top of this page. 2. Enter a **fair event code**, such as `AMBIENTE`, `CHRISTMASWORLD`, or `CREATIVEWORLD`. This is the fair's short name in capital letters. 3. Optionally, add a **search query** to narrow the directory to a keyword, company, or product. 4. Set **Max items** to cap how many exhibitor records you want. 5. Press **Start** and watch the results fill the Output tab. 6. Download the dataset in JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect it to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, or your own app. New here? A first run of 10 to 20 items is a great way to see the output shape before scaling up to a full fair. ### πŸ“₯ Input Set these fields in the Console form, or pass them as JSON. | Field | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | Fair event code | string | No | The fair's short code in capital letters, e.g. `AMBIENTE`, `CHRISTMASWORLD`, `CREATIVEWORLD`. Defaults to `AMBIENTE`. | | Search query | string | No | Keyword to filter exhibitors by company name, product, or brand. Leave empty to list every exhibitor. | | Max items | integer | No | Maximum number of exhibitor records to return. Use 0 for no limit. | | Proxy configuration | object | No | Not required for this fair directory. Left off by default. | ### πŸ“€ Output Every exhibitor becomes one clean row. Here is a shortened example: ```json { "companyName": "Budapest Select", "companyAddress": "Istenhegyi ΓΊt 18, 1126, Budapest", "companyCountry": "Hungary", "companyEmail": "info@chungary.com", "companyPhone": "+36 30 323 8346", "companyWebsite": "https://chungary.com/", "hallStands": "Hall 3.0, Stand G32", "socialLinks": [ "linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/creativehungary/", "facebook: https://www.facebook.com/creativehungary", "instagram: https://www.instagram.com/creativehungary/#" ], "productCategories": ["Designer home concepts", "Luminaires"], "fairName": "Ambiente 2026", "fairStartDate": "2026-02-06", "fairEndDate": "2026-02-10", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-03T02:51:51.874Z" } ```` You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. The Output tab has three ready-made views: Exhibitors, Contacts, and Categories. ### πŸ“Š Data table Main fields returned for every exhibitor. Empty fields are dropped, so every value you see is real. | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | companyName | string | Exhibitor's company name. | | companyAddress | string | Full street address, postal code, and city. | | companyCountry | string | Country of the exhibitor. | | companyEmail | string | Contact email, when published. | | companyPhone | string | Contact phone number, when published. | | companyWebsite | string | Exhibitor's website. | | hallStands | string | Hall and stand number at the fair. | | socialLinks | array | LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and other profile links. | | contactPersons | array | Named contacts with role and reach, when the exhibitor has published them. | | productCategories | array | Product categories the exhibitor is listed under. | | fairEventCode | string | The fair code used for this run. | | fairName | string | Full fair name and year, e.g. "Ambiente 2026". | | fairStartDate / fairEndDate | string | Fair dates. | | description | string | Exhibitor's self-written company description, when published. | | exhibitorId | string | Stable identifier for this exhibitor at this fair. | | scrapedAt | string | Timestamp of the scrape, in ISO 8601 format. | ### πŸ’° Pricing This Actor uses pay per result, so you only pay for the exhibitor records you actually receive. Runs that return nothing cost nothing, and there are no monthly subscriptions or hidden fees. Set Max items to keep any run within your budget, and start small to preview the data before scaling up. ### ❓ FAQ #### Is scraping the Messe Frankfurt exhibitor directory legal? This Actor collects only public data that anyone can view on Messe Frankfurt's website without logging in. Scraping public data is generally legal, but you are responsible for how you use the results. Follow Messe Frankfurt's terms and applicable laws. #### Do I need a Messe Frankfurt account or login? No. The Actor needs no login and no account. Just choose a fair and press start. #### How do I find the right fair event code? Use the fair's public display name with spaces removed and letters capitalized, for example `CHRISTMASWORLD` for Christmasworld. If a code returns zero results, double check the spelling against the fair's official name. #### Why do some exhibitors have fewer fields than others? Not every exhibitor fills in every field on Messe Frankfurt's platform. Some publish a phone number but not an email, or list categories 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 list automatically, and send the output straight to your app or spreadsheet. ### πŸ›Ÿ Support Found a bug, or need an extra field? Open an issue on the **Issues** tab of this Actor and it will be reviewed. Custom versions and larger data pulls are available on request. # Actor input Schema ## `fairEventCode` (type: `string`): The short code Messe Frankfurt uses to identify a trade fair, in upper case. Known working examples: AMBIENTE (consumer goods), CHRISTMASWORLD (festive decor), CREATIVEWORLD (arts and crafts). Messe Frankfurt runs many more fairs than these three; if a code returns 0 results, try the fair's display name with spaces removed and letters upper-cased. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Optional keyword to filter exhibitors by company name, product, or brand. Leave empty to list every exhibitor at the fair. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of exhibitor records to return. Use 0 for no limit (returns every exhibitor at the fair). You are billed per record returned. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): The Messe Frankfurt exhibitor API has no bot protection, so no proxy is required. Leave this off unless you are running very high volumes and want extra IP diversity. ## Actor input object example ```json { "fairEventCode": "AMBIENTE", "searchQuery": "ceramic", "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
