## 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.

Newfront Exhibitor Directory Scraper collects public exhibitor data from Newfront and ExpoPlatform marketplace events. It is for event research, sales planning, lead generation, and data work. It processes one event directory per run and returns only information the directory publishes.

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

The Actor directly enumerates public exhibitor directory listings, so you can collect a complete, focused list without gathering records by hand. Add a company keyword, country, hall or stand, and category to narrow the results. Every filter you provide must match.

Turn on profile details when you need published contacts, categories, products, addresses, or social links. If a public profile request is unavailable, the listing record can still be returned and `detailStatus` reports `failed`. Nothing is invented to fill gaps.

Choose flat output for one row per exhibitor. Choose exploded output to keep the parent exhibitor row and add separate stand, category, product, contact, and co-exhibitor rows. The exhibitor limit always applies to parent exhibitors.

### 🎯 Why teams use it

- **I am an event researcher** mapping an exhibitor landscape by country, hall, and category before deciding which events to track.
- **I am a sales operations manager** building a focused prospect list from the companies exhibiting at an event relevant to my territory.
- **I am a lead-generation specialist** matching public exhibitor companies and published contact details to a campaign list without guessing missing data.
- **I am a data team member** choosing flat or exploded rows for reporting, while retaining source URLs and run statistics for review.

### 📊 Source and run statistics

Each run writes a `RUN_STATS` record alongside the dataset. It records `status`, `pagesFetched`, `listRequests`, `detailsRequested`, `detailsFetched`, `detailFailures`, `itemsDiscovered`, `parentItemsOutput`, `rowsOutput`, `filters`, and `errors`.

Use these statistics to confirm the source response, the filters used, parent-exhibitor limits, output row count, and any detail lookup failures. Run status can be `success`, `empty_valid`, `partial`, `blocked`, or `invalid`.

### 💰 Pricing

Pricing is pay per result. Empty runs cost nothing, and there are no subscriptions.

### ❓ FAQ

##### Which Newfront and ExpoPlatform directories are supported?

Use a public Newfront or ExpoPlatform marketplace exhibitor directory URL. The Actor validates that the URL is a compatible public exhibitor directory before collecting records.

##### Can I filter exhibitors for a sales or research list?

Yes. Match published company text, country, hall or stand, and category. When you set more than one filter, an exhibitor must match all of them.

##### What happens when a public exhibitor profile is unavailable?

With partial results enabled, the Actor keeps the available listing record and sets `detailStatus` to `failed`. If profile details are turned off, it sets the status to `not_requested`.

##### Does it return private or missing contact information?

No. Newfront Exhibitor Directory Scraper returns only data published by the public directory. Missing values are omitted, rather than replaced with placeholders.
