Thomasnet Scraper | US Industrial Suppliers

Scrape Thomasnet US industrial B2B suppliers, heading categories, and company profiles — then download structured manufacturer data as Excel, CSV, or JSON.

Use this Actor as a practical Thomasnet data API for US supplier discovery, procurement shortlists, industrial market research, and lead enrichment. Choose a mode, set a keyword / heading / company URL, and get Dataset rows with tgramsId, company name, location, sales band, employee count, capabilities, headings, and profile URLs.

• Scrape supplier keyword search (/suppliers/search)
• Browse heading / category lists (/suppliers/usa/{slug}-{headingId})
• Pull company profile pages (/company/{slug}-{tgramsId}/profile)
• Optional browse mode for heading discovery
• Extract tgramsId, name, website, city/state/zip, annualSales, numberEmployees, yearFounded, capabilities, headings, tier flags
• Optional enrichDetails, zip + radius, and filterIds
• Export to Excel / CSV / JSON, or connect Make, n8n, Zapier, Python, or the Apify API
• Pay per event — Actor start + each Dataset result; platform usage is included (you do not pay separate Apify compute on top)

Unofficial tool. This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Thomas Publishing / Thomasnet.com. It collects publicly reachable listing and profile surfaces and does not log in, auto-click Contact Supplier / Claim / Register / Sign In, or access private accounts. Phone numbers are redacted by default.

What does the Thomasnet Scraper do?

Thomasnet Scraper lets you extract structured US industrial supplier data from www.thomasnet.com without running your own anti-bot browser fleet. Give it a keyword (e.g. precision castings, cnc machining), a heading slug + id, or a company profile URL / tgramsId, then start a run.

Under the hood, the Actor:

1. Validates your input (mode, query, heading, company identifiers)
2. Enforces free-tier caps when you are on a free Apify plan
3. Fetches public Thomasnet listing and profile pages through a managed scrape backend
4. Normalizes supplier / company rows into a clean Dataset
5. Writes INPUT_ECHO, RUN_SUMMARY (and ERROR_SUMMARY on failure) to the key-value store

You run it like any other Apify Actor — schedule it, call it from the API, or plug it into automations.

Why scrape Thomasnet?

Thomasnet is a major US industrial B2B directory covering manufacturers, custom fabricators, distributors, and service providers across metals, plastics, machining, electronics, and more. Teams scrape Thomasnet for supplier discovery, procurement shortlists, competitor monitoring, and industrial lead generation:

• Monitor keyword supplier search results for a commodity or process
• Follow heading categories (e.g. CNC Machining, Precision Castings) with stable heading IDs
• Pull company profiles with sales bands, employee counts, and capability tags
• Optionally filter by ZIP + radius or pass-through filterIds
• Feed CRM, BI dashboards, Google Sheets, BigQuery, or AI agents with clean rows

Compared with generic URL scrapers, this Actor returns Thomasnet-specific fields (tgramsId, heading IDs, sales/employee bands, capability tags) across search, heading, company, and browse modes.

FAQ

Is this affiliated with Thomasnet?

No. This is an unofficial third-party Actor. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Thomas Publishing / Thomasnet.

Do you collect emails or click Contact Supplier?

No. The Actor does not auto-click Contact Supplier, Claim, Register, or Sign In. Phones are redacted by default (redactPhones: true).

Why is pagination limited?

Thomasnet’s SSR ?page= query does not change the first-page company list. Extra pages require UI pagination (maxPages). GraphQL pagination is not exposed as a public Actor input.

Can I use this from the API / Standby?

Yes. Use normal Actor runs for production Dataset output. Standby exposes lightweight /health, /input-example, /openapi.json, and optional preview routes — see the Standby OpenAPI schema packaged with the Actor.

What are the free plan limits?

You get up to 10 runs of this Actor and 200 results per run (limits set by the Actor developer). Paying Apify users are not capped by those run quotas; PPE event prices still apply.

---

Tips for better runs

• Prefer specific industrial keywords (precision castings, cnc machining) over single vague words
• Keep maxResults modest first; list pages return ~25 suppliers per SSR page
• Use enrichDetails only when you need deeper company profile fields
• For headings, pass both headingSlug and headingId when you have them
• Do not reuse README sample inputs for acceptance tests — use fresh random-valid queries

---

Integrations

• Apify API / client — start runs and pull Dataset items programmatically
• Schedules — re-run keyword monitors daily/weekly
• Webhooks — notify your stack when a run finishes
• Make / Zapier / n8n — push rows to Sheets, CRM, Slack, or warehouses

---

Standby (Live view)

When Standby is enabled:

• GET / / GET /health — Actor readiness (no scrape)
• GET /input-example — safe low-cost example input
• GET /openapi.json — OpenAPI document
• POST /search — optional Live-view preview (capped maxResults); persist production results with a normal Actor run

Full jobs should be launched as normal Apify Actor runs so Dataset rows plus INPUT_ECHO, RUN_SUMMARY, and ERROR_SUMMARY are persisted.

---

Runtime

Setting	Value
Default memory	1024 MB
Timeout default	3600 s
Standby	Enabled (lightweight Live-view)
Free plan caps	10 runs / 200 results per run
