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 ## ImportYeti Scraper ![ImportYeti Scraper Cover](https://i.imgur.com/3awrFQD.png) Discover who companies really buy from with this fast and reliable ImportYeti scraper. This actor extracts detailed import records and supplier insights directly from ImportYeti. Just provide a company handle (the slug at the end of the URL, like "gamestop"), and it will return a complete breakdown of suppliers, shipment volumes, product categories, and sourcing regions. Itโ€™s a practical tool for competitor research, supplier validation, and supply chain analysis using real U.S. sea freight data. No login or account required. --- ### What youโ€™ll get For each company handle, the actor delivers a structured dataset including: * **Company overview** Basic company details such as name, address, website, total shipments, and activity in the last 12 months * **Supplier insights** A full list of suppliers with country, shipment history (recent and all-time), total weight, TEU, HS codes, and sample product descriptions * **HS code analysis** Top product categories ranked by shipment volume, including HS codes, descriptions, weight, and TEU * **Imports by region** A clear breakdown of where goods are sourced from, grouped by continent * **Last data update** The most recent refresh date from ImportYeti --- ### Input | Field | Required | Description | | -------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `companies` | Yes | List of company handles (URL slugs). Example: `importyeti.com/company/{handle}` | | `maxItems` | No | Maximum number of companies to process (default: 100, max: 1000) | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | No | Timeout per request in seconds (default: 30) | --- #### How to find a company handle The company handle is the last part of the ImportYeti URL: ```` https://www.importyeti.com/company/gamestop ^^^^^^^^ handle = "gamestop" ```` --- #### Example input ```json { "companies": ["gamestop", "amazon", "walmart"], "maxItems": 50, "requestTimeoutSecs": 30 } ```` *** ### Output Each company returns one dataset item with full details: ```json { "companyHandle": "gamestop", "companyName": "Gamestop", "companyAddress": "625 Westport Pkwy, Ste A, Grapevine, Tx 76051, Us", "companyAddressCountry": "United States of America", "companyWebsite": "gamestop.com", "companyUrl": "https://www.importyeti.com/company/gamestop", "totalShipments": 4215, "shipments12m": 339, "totalShippingCost": 7432097.80, "topSupplierName": "Century Distribution Systems", "topSupplierCountry": "China", "databaseUpdated": "04/16/2026", "suppliers": [ { "vendorName": "Century Distribution Systems", "vendorAddress": "38/F Panglin Plaza Office Tower, Shenzhen, China", "country": "China", "countryCode": "CN", "shipments12m": 269, "totalShipments": 1234, "totalWeightKg": 8111495, "totalTeu": 2011, "hsCodes": ["9503.00", "8544.42", "9504.50", "3926.90", "8504.40"], "productSample": "Gamestop Earbuds Mic Pocket Card Binder Rings Trading Card...", "importYetiUrl": "https://www.importyeti.com/supplier/century-distribution-systems" } ], "hsCodes": [ { "hsCode": "95", "productCategory": "Toys", "shipments": 1713, "weightKg": 11869061, "teu": 3109 } ], "importsByContinent": [ { "continent": "Asia", "totalShipments": 4139 }, { "continent": "Europe", "totalShipments": 55 } ], "scrapedAt": "2026-04-22T10:00:00+00:00", "error": null } ``` If a company cannot be scraped (for example, an invalid handle), the actor will still return a result with an `error` field explaining the issue. *** ### Use cases - **Competitor research** Identify where your competitors source their products and how frequently they import - **Supplier validation** Check a factoryโ€™s shipping history and see who else they work with before making a deal - **Supply chain analysis** Understand sourcing patterns by country, continent, and product category - **Market insights** Track import trends and shipment volumes to spot growth opportunities or risks *** ### Notes - Covers **U.S. sea freight data only** (bill of lading records) - Does not include air or land shipments - Some companies may have limited data depending on import frequency - Requests are processed sequentially with small delays to prevent rate limiting # Actor input Schema ## `companies` (type: `array`): List of ImportYeti company URL slugs to scrape. Example: \["gamestop", "amazon", "walmart"]. Find the handle in the URL: importyeti.com/company/{handle} ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of companies to process per run. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Per-request timeout in seconds. ## Actor input object example ```json { "companies": [ "gamestop", "amazon" ], "maxItems": 100, "requestTimeoutSecs": 30 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "companies": [ "gamestop" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("kawsar/importyeti-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`๐Ÿ’พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // ๐Ÿ“š Want to learn more ๐Ÿ“–?
