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 ## Map Your Show Conference Exhibitor Scraper Scrape exhibitor lists from any [Map Your Show](https://www.mapyourshow.com) conference — NAB Show, InfoComm, IBEX, IPPE, NACS, SPIE, and 100+ other major tradeshows. Returns booth assignment, website, full address, phone, social profiles, product categories, and contact persons in one record per exhibitor. --- ### Map Your Show Scraper Features - Works with any conference hosted at `*.mapyourshow.com` — point it at a URL and run - Extracts 20+ fields per exhibitor including booth, address, phone, and four social profiles - Pulls contact persons (name, title, phone, email) from the detail page when present - Returns product/service categories so you can segment exhibitors by what they actually sell - Handles list pagination via the MYS JSON API and detail extraction via the Vue contactinfo block - Pre-configured with US residential proxy — required because MYS rate-limits datacenter IPs aggressively --- ### Who Uses Conference Exhibitor Data? - **B2B sales teams** — Build pre-show outreach lists with verified booth assignments and direct contact phones - **Recruiters** — Target hiring managers from companies attending a specific industry's flagship event - **Event marketing agencies** — Benchmark client visibility against competing exhibitors at the same show - **Trade journalists** — Map who's showing up to which event and which product categories are growing - **Market researchers** — Track exhibitor overlap across shows in the same vertical year over year --- ### How the Map Your Show Scraper Works 1. **Provide a conference URL** — The root URL (`https://nab26.mapyourshow.com`) or the exhibitor gallery page works equally well. The scraper detects the base host. 2. **List pagination** — Hits the MYS `remote-proxy.cfm` AJAX endpoint with the `XMLHttpRequest` header MYS expects. Returns 100 exhibitors per page until the conference is exhausted. 3. **Detail extraction** — For each exhibitor, fetches the detail page and parses contact info, social URLs, and address from the Vue component data block. Most scrapers stop at the list; this one doesn't. 4. **Export** — Records land in your Apify dataset as JSON, one per exhibitor. --- ### Input #### Scrape one conference ```json { "conferenceUrls": [ { "url": "https://nab26.mapyourshow.com/8_0/explore/exhibitor-gallery.cfm?featured=false" } ], "maxItems": 0 } ```` #### Scrape multiple conferences in one run ```json { "conferenceUrls": [ { "url": "https://nab26.mapyourshow.com" }, { "url": "https://infocomm26.mapyourshow.com" }, { "url": "https://ibex25.mapyourshow.com" } ], "maxItems": 500 } ``` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | conferenceUrls | array | NAB 2026 | One or more MYS conference URLs.

Map Your Show Scraper handles it. Paste the conference URL into `conferenceUrls`, set `maxItems`, and run. The scraper pages through the MYS AJAX endpoint and follows each detail page for contact info, social profiles, and address. #### Which conferences does this support? Map Your Show Scraper supports any event hosted at `*.mapyourshow.com`. That covers NAB Show, InfoComm, IBEX, IPPE, NACS, SPIE, and roughly 100 more — the platform itself is the common factor, not the show. #### How much does this actor cost to run? Map Your Show Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing on the `default_2603_basic` profile at a 10x coefficient — the high coefficient covers residential proxy bandwidth, which MYS requires. Per-record cost is in the low single cents; a 1,000-exhibitor pull from a major show comes in around a few dollars. #### Can I get exhibitor contact persons? Map Your Show Scraper extracts contact persons from the Vue contactinfo block on each exhibitor's detail page when present. Output appears in `exhibitor_contacts` as a JSON-encoded array of `{name, title, phone, email}`. Not every exhibitor lists contacts — coverage depends on what the company published. #### Does this actor need proxies? Map Your Show Scraper requires residential proxy. MYS rate-limits datacenter IPs aggressively, especially on the AJAX list endpoint. US residential is configured by default; leave it alone unless you have a strong reason to override. *** ### Need More Features? Need support for non-MYS exhibitor platforms (Swapcard, a2z, EventScribe) or scheduled re-runs for live shows? [Open an issue](https://console.apify.com/actors/issues) or get in touch. ### Why Use Map Your Show Scraper? - **Platform-wide coverage** — One actor for 100+ tradeshows. You don't need a separate scraper per conference. - **Detail data, not just listings** — Most MYS scrapers stop at the gallery. This one follows through to the detail page and pulls phone, address, socials, and contact persons. - **JSON API + HTML hybrid** — Uses the MYS AJAX endpoint for fast pagination and falls back to detail-page HTML only where the API doesn't expose the field. Faster than a pure browser approach, more complete than a pure API one. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `conferenceUrls` (type: `array`): URLs of Map Your Show conference exhibitor pages.
