ThomasNet Supplier Scraper — Verify, Not Just List

You paste a company name. You get its ThomasNet listing: address, year founded, employee range, product categories and a public contact.

In short: what you give, what you get, what it costs

You give	Company names
We do	Find and check each company's ThomasNet listing
You get	One row per supplier: legal name, website, address, year founded, employee range, products, capabilities and a public contact
It costs	$0.011 per verified supplier + $0.001 per run. Apify also bills the supplier Actor zen-studio/thomasnet-suppliers-scraper that this robot runs for you, at its own price (about $4.99 per 1,000 results). An item that returns an error is never charged
It does not	Sign in to ThomasNet or send quote requests

A real result row is shown further down this page.

Free tier — 3 results free on every run

The free results waive this Actor's own fee; the source Actor (zen-studio/thomasnet-suppliers-scraper) still bills its own price for every row it returns.

The first 3 results of every run are free, on every run you ever make — not a one-off trial. One guard: the free allowance never covers more than half of a run, so the offer stays sustainable.

Why verification, not a bulk list

Most sourcing tools return a giant list you have to sift through. This Actor verifies specific suppliers you already have in mind — the entity you put in is the entity you get back, with proof.

5 advantages

1. One bad company name never kills your batch. Not found on ThomasNet? That row errors out alone; every other company still delivers.
2. Never billed on a failed lookup.
3. Honest about what ThomasNet has — and doesn't. ThomasNet listings carry no certifications data, so we don't pretend otherwise: you get real product/service categories instead, not an empty promise.
4. Optional contact discovery. Turn on includeContacts and we check the supplier's own website for a public email, on top of ThomasNet's listed phone number.
5. Hard cost cap you control. Set maxTotalChargeUsd and the run can never bill above it.

Pricing

• Source Actor charge: this Actor runs zen-studio/thomasnet-suppliers-scraper inside your run, and Apify bills that run to your account at zen-studio/thomasnet-suppliers-scraper's own price (about $4.99 per 1,000 results, read on 2026-10-23), on top of this Actor's price. Each call to it is capped at $0.02. Pay per event, base FREE-tier price: $0.011 per verified supplier. Paid Store plans pay less on every event — the largest plans pay $0.00605; the Pricing tab on this Actor's Store page is always the authority. No event is ever charged on an item that returns an error — a batch of 200 with one bad input bills 199.

Use it from an AI agent (MCP and x402)

Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client to Apify's MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com and add this Actor, om_kh/thomasnet-supplier-scraper, as a tool — the agent passes the same JSON as the run input and gets the dataset back.

AI agents that pay with x402 can run it too, without an Apify account: the Actor charges only per result delivered, so an agent pays exactly for what it gets.

Compared with zen-studio/thomasnet-suppliers-scraper

Read on the Store on 2026-10-23 (ThomasNet Suppliers Real-Time Scraper (2026)). Where it does better, this section says so.

• Same source data: this Actor runs zen-studio/thomasnet-suppliers-scraper for you, so every row carries its fields.
• This Actor's fee is free on the first results of every run, and a hard cost cap (maxTotalChargeUsd) limits it.
• Price: you pay zen-studio/thomasnet-suppliers-scraper's own price ($4.99 per 1,000) plus this Actor's $11, so $15.99 per 1,000 in total. If you only need the raw rows once, zen-studio/thomasnet-suppliers-scraper alone is cheaper; this Actor is for the only-new mode on schedules and the cost cap.

Use it from code (API)

Every Apify Actor is an API. Start a run and read the results with one call.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("om_kh/thomasnet-supplier-scraper").call(run_input={"companyNames": ["Boeing"], "includeContacts": False, "maxResults": 20})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('om_kh/thomasnet-supplier-scraper').call({
    "companyNames": [
        "Boeing"
    ],
    "includeContacts": false,
    "maxResults": 20
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

One HTTP call (cURL) — runs the Actor and returns the dataset in the same response:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/om_kh~thomasnet-supplier-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"companyNames": ["Boeing"], "includeContacts": false, "maxResults": 20}'
