Features

• Extract detailed information about companies, including name, phone, website, description, and more.
• Supports scraping multiple Thomasnet.com search result pages by specifying start URLs.
• Customize the scraping settings, such as maximum companies to scrape and request retries.
• Built-in proxy configuration for anonymous and reliable scraping.

How to Use

1. Set Up: Ensure you have an Apify account and access to the Apify platform.
2. Provide Start URLs: Copy and paste the desired Thomasnet.com search result links (e.g., https://www.thomasnet.com/suppliers/discover/alabama/all-cities?searchterm=Machining%2C+Assembly+).
3. Adjust Scraper Settings: Modify settings like maxItems, maxConcurrency, and minConcurrency to suit your requirements.
4. Configure Proxy Settings: (Optional) Configure proxy settings for better reliability and to avoid IP blocks.
5. Run the Scraper: Execute the scraper on the Apify platform. The output will be available in various formats like JSON, CSV, or Excel, depending on your preference.
