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 ## 🎪 Xporience exhibitor directory scraper: contacts, stands & categories **Turn any Xporience powered trade fair website into a ready to use exhibitor list in minutes.** Point it at Big 5 Global, The Hotel Show, Big 5 Construct Saudi, or any other fair on the same platform, and pull every exhibitor's company name, country, stand number, category, website and social links straight into a spreadsheet. ### 🔍 What does Xporience Exhibitor Directory Scraper do? This Actor scrapes the public exhibitor directory of any trade fair website built on the Xporience platform. Feed it a fair's homepage URL, such as [exhibitors.big5global.com](https://exhibitors.big5global.com/), and it walks through every exhibitor listed for that event. For each exhibitor it collects the company name, country, stand number, product category, logo image, company website, social media links and a short company description when the exhibitor has published one. No account, login, or manual clicking required. Because it runs on the Apify platform, you get scheduled runs, instant API access, webhook notifications, and dozens of ready-made integrations (Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack and more) without writing any code. ### 💡 Why use Xporience Exhibitor Directory Scraper? Trade fair exhibitor lists are one of the richest sources of fresh, targeted B2B leads available online. Every exhibitor has already paid to be there and wants to be found, which makes this data unusually clean and sales ready. - **Sales teams** build outbound lists of companies actively exhibiting in a given industry and region. - **Market researchers** track which companies are showing up at a fair year over year to spot new entrants and trends. - **Event organizers and competitors** benchmark exhibitor counts, categories and countries across rival trade fairs. - **Recruiters and partnership teams** find companies expanding into a market by watching who exhibits at regional shows. Since the Actor works across every fair on the Xporience platform, one setup covers dozens of shows in construction, hospitality, retail and other industries, not just a single event. ### 🚀 How to use Xporience Exhibitor Directory Scraper 1. Click **Try for free** and open the Actor's Input tab. 2. Paste the homepage URL of the fair you want, for example `https://exhibitors.big5global.com/`, or just type its domain into the Base domain field. 3. Set a limit on how many exhibitors to collect, or leave it unlimited to pull the whole directory. 4. Click **Start** and watch the results appear in the Dataset tab as the run progresses. 5. Export your results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect the dataset directly to Google Sheets or your CRM. ### 📥 Input Configure the run from the Input tab in Apify Console, or pass the same fields through the API. | Field | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | Fair start URLs | array of URLs | No | One or more Xporience fair homepage or listing URLs to scrape. Each URL is treated as its own fair. | | Base domain | string | No | Shortcut instead of a full URL, just the fair's domain, such as `exhibitors.big5global.com`. Takes priority when set. | | Max items | integer | No | Maximum number of exhibitor records to collect across all fairs. Leave at 0 for no limit. | | Max requests per run | integer | No | Safety cap on total pages fetched during the run. | | Proxy configuration | object | No | Network settings for the run. The default works out of the box for every supported fair. | ### 📤 Output Each exhibitor is saved as one row in the dataset. Example output: ```json { "id": "MzgyODE=", "companyName": "SCHUECO Middle East", "country": "United Arab Emirates", "logoUrl": "https://dmg-manual-live.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/Production/exb_doc/660/119627/thumb_660_BG6602685_4016.png", "description": "System solutions for windows, doors and facades made from aluminium, steel and PVC-U.", "standNumber": "Ar A201, Trade Centre Arena", "productSector": "Windows, Doors and Facades / Building Envelope", "website": "https://www.schueco.com", "socialLinks": ["https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/schueco-middle-east/"], "detailUrl": "https://exhibitors.big5global.com/big-5-global-2025/Exhibitor/ExbDetails/MzgyODE=", "fairDomain": "exhibitors.big5global.com", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-03T02:58:09.535Z" } ```` You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. #### Data table | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | companyName | string | Exhibitor's company name. | | country | string | Exhibitor's country of origin. | | logoUrl | string | Direct link to the exhibitor's logo image. | | description | string | Short company description, when the exhibitor has published one. | | standNumber | string | Hall and stand location at the fair. | | productSector | string | Product category or industry sector the exhibitor is listed under. | | website | string | Exhibitor's company website. | | socialLinks | array | Social media profile links published on the exhibitor's page. | | detailUrl | string | Link to the exhibitor's public profile page. | | fairDomain | string | Which fair website the record came from, useful when scraping multiple fairs at once. | | scrapedAt | string | Timestamp of when the record was collected. | ### 💰 Pricing This Actor uses pay per result pricing.

### 🛠️ Tips for better runs - Use the Max items field to cap a run when you only need a sample or want to control cost on very large fairs. - Scrape multiple fairs in one run by adding several entries to Fair start URLs. - Schedule recurring runs in Apify Console to keep an exhibitor list up to date as a fair approaches. ### ❓ FAQ **Is this legal?** This Actor only collects information that fair organizers already publish publicly on their exhibitor directory pages, with no login required. You are responsible for using the collected data in line with applicable laws and the target website's terms. **Does this work for any trade fair?** It works for any fair running on the Xporience platform (the exhibitor directory system used by dmg events). Big 5 Global, The Hotel Show and Big 5 Construct Saudi are confirmed working. Other fairs on the same platform should work as well since they share the same site structure. **Why do some exhibitors have fewer fields than others?** Not every exhibitor fills out every field on the fair's exhibitor portal. This Actor only reports information the exhibitor has actually published, and never invents or guesses missing details. **Can I get email addresses or phone numbers?** No. The fair websites do not publicly display exhibitor emails or phone numbers to anonymous visitors, they route enquiries through a contact form instead, so this Actor cannot extract data that is not there. **Something looks off or a fair stopped working. What now?** Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with the fair URL you used. Trade fair websites occasionally change between event editions, and reports help keep the Actor up to date. Custom scraping solutions are also available on request. ### 🔗 Other actors - [GSMA MWC exhibitor directory scraper](https://apify.com/getascraper/gsma-mwc-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - pulls exhibitor contacts from GSMA Mobile World Congress. - [Reed Expo exhibitor directory scraper](https://apify.com/getascraper/reed-expo-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - collects exhibitor lists from any RX Global fair. - [Informa Markets exhibitor directory scraper](https://apify.com/getascraper/informa-markets-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - extracts exhibitor contacts from Gulfood and other Informa fairs. - [Messe Frankfurt exhibitor directory scraper](https://apify.com/getascraper/messe-frankfurt-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - gathers exhibitor directories across Messe Frankfurt fairs. - [Map Your Show exhibitor directory scraper](https://apify.com/getascraper/map-your-show-exhibitor-directory-scraper) ↗ - scrapes exhibitor lists from US expos on the Map Your Show platform. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): One or more Xporience exhibitor directory URLs to scrape.
