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 ## Tindie Seller Leads Scraper Find independent electronics sellers, hardware vendors, maker marketplace stores, IoT product suppliers, robotics sellers, and 3D printing suppliers on [Tindie](https://www.tindie.com/). The Actor scans selected Tindie categories, visits product pages, and saves one deduplicated lead for each seller. It is useful for USA-based B2B prospecting, market research, supplier discovery, and outreach campaigns.

Tindie Seller Leads Scraper is a lead generation and supplier discovery tool for extracting public seller information from Tindie product pages. It is useful for finding: - electronics suppliers - hardware vendors - DIY electronics sellers - maker marketplace sellers - IoT device suppliers - robotics suppliers - 3D printing suppliers - CNC product sellers - independent electronics brands The Actor saves one record per unique seller instead of returning duplicate records for every product sold by the same store. --- ### 2. Why use this tool? Use this Actor to create structured seller datasets for: - B2B lead generation - supplier discovery - electronics market research - hardware product sourcing - maker business outreach - CRM enrichment - partnership campaigns The output can help USA-based businesses identify independent sellers and specialty product vendors from a focused electronics marketplace. --- ### 3. How do I use Tindie Seller Leads Scraper? 1. Select one or more Tindie product categories. 2. Set the maximum number of category pages to scan. 3. Set the maximum number of product pages to inspect. 4. Set the maximum number of unique sellers to save. 5. Run the Actor. Example input: ```json { "categories": ["diy-electronics", "3d-printing-cnc", "cameras"], "max_pages": 1, "max_products": 20, "max_sellers": 10, "request_delay_millis": 350 } ```` If no input is provided, the Actor uses small defaults so the first run finishes quickly. *** ### 4. What data points do I get? Each dataset item contains: ```json { "seller_name": "Example Seller", "seller_address": "Austin, Texas, United States", "seller_reviews": 20, "seller_rating": 4.5, "seller_store_url": "https://www.tindie.com/stores/example/", "email": null, "source_product_url": "https://www.tindie.com/products/example/example-product/", "source_category": "diy-electronics", "product_title": "Example Product", "product_share_links": { "twitter": "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?...", "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?...", "pinterest": "https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?..." } } ``` `product_share_links` are product-sharing URLs exposed by Tindie. They are not seller social-media profiles. *** ### 5. Does this Actor return only sellers in the United States? No. Tindie is an international marketplace, so the Actor returns sellers from any location exposed by the selected category pages. USA-based users can filter the resulting dataset by `seller_address` when they need domestic electronics suppliers or hardware vendors. *** ### 6. Can I enrich the seller leads with email addresses? The Actor saves an email address when it is publicly exposed on a scraped page. Many marketplace sellers do not publish an email address. You can enrich the resulting seller dataset using tools such as: - Apollo - Hunter - Clearbit - LinkedIn Sales Navigator - your preferred CRM enrichment workflow *** ### 7. Can I integrate this Actor with other tools? Yes. Apify dataset output can be connected to: - Google Sheets - Airtable - Zapier - Make - n8n - CRM systems - data warehouses For custom scraping solutions, integrations, or larger seller lead datasets, contact lead.gen.labs.1@gmail.com. *** ### 8. How does pricing work? Configure the Actor's pay-per-event pricing in Apify with the custom `seller-scraped` event. The Actor emits one event whenever it saves a unique seller lead to the dataset. # Actor input Schema ## `categories` (type: `array`): Select one or more Tindie product categories to scan. ## `max_pages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of browse pages to scan for each selected category. ## `max_products` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of product pages to inspect across all selected categories. ## `max_sellers` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of unique seller lead records to save. ## `request_delay_millis` (type: `integer`): Delay in milliseconds between product page requests. ## Actor input object example ```json { "categories": [ "diy-electronics", "3d-printing-cnc", "cameras" ], "max_pages": 1, "max_products": 20, "max_sellers": 10, "request_delay_millis": 350 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
