## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## OEKO-TEX Certified Textile Suppliers Scraper - Buying Guide

This **OEKO-TEX supplier scraper** turns the public **OEKO-TEX Buying Guide** into a clean **certified textile supplier list**: pick a standard (**STANDARD 100**, **LEATHER STANDARD**, **STeP**, **ECO PASSPORT**, **MADE IN GREEN**, **ORGANIC COTTON**), a country such as `China`, `India`, `Türkiye`, `Bangladesh` or `Portugal`, a product level (yarns, fabrics, dyeing and finishing, accessories, finished goods), a material such as `Cotton` or `Polyester`, and get one row per certified company with **name, street address, post code, city, country, website, role e-mail, phone**, the **labels it holds** and its **certified product levels, product types, materials, uses and product classes**.

Use it as a **textile supplier finder** for sourcing yarn, fabric, trims and garments, an **OEKO-TEX certified manufacturer directory**, a **sustainable textile sourcing list** by country and material, or a **B2B lead list** of certified mills and factories, from your own code, Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent.

It reads the Buying Guide over plain HTTP, with **no browser and no login**. The prefilled demo returned 20 STANDARD 100 certified fabric makers in China in 18.5 s in a cloud run on 7 November 2026. **$2.00 per 1,000 results, no start fee.**

**What goes in:** a standard, countries or a region, a product level, product types, materials, search words, a product class. **What comes out:** one row per certified company. **When to use it:** you need suppliers that hold an OEKO-TEX certificate for a kind of textile product in a country.

**What it does not have:** **no prices, no MOQ, no certificate numbers and no validity dates.** The Buying Guide lists who is certified for what, not offers. **No people:** the "Your contact" person on each profile is never read, and only role mailboxes (info@, sales@, export@ ...) are kept; personal mailboxes are dropped.

### What you get

- **Supplier**: company name, street address, post code, city, country, website (malformed entries dropped), role e-mail, phone and fax as filed.
- **Certification**: OEKO-TEX labels held (e.g. STANDARD 100, STeP, MADE IN GREEN), the standard searched, the result-list columns for that standard (e.g. Appendix 4, Appendix 6, Recycling).
- **Certified products**: product levels, product types (woven fabric, yarns, buttons, home textiles ...), materials, intended uses (baby, outer wear, bedding ...), STANDARD 100 product classes.
- **Links**: the company's Buying Guide profile page.

Fill rates measured on 7 November 2026. Demo (20 China fabric makers): street, labels, product types and materials 100%; post code 85%; website 25%; role e-mail 5%. Portugal finished goods with "Only suppliers with a website or e-mail" on: 115 companies matched, 92 kept; website 99%, phone 100%, role e-mail 10%.

### Sample output

Real rows from the prefilled run (STANDARD 100, Fabrics, China, 7 November 2026):

| Advance Denim Co., Ltd. | Foshan | STANDARD 100, STeP, MADE IN GREEN | Woven fabric | Cotton, Elastanes and other elastic fibres | |

| Black Peony Textile Co., Ltd. | Changzhou | STANDARD 100, STeP | Woven fabric | Cotton, Elastanes and other elastic fibres | https://www.blackpeony.com/zh |

### Use cases

- **Textile sourcing**: every STANDARD 100 certified woven-fabric mill in Türkiye or Portugal
- **Baby and children's products**: suppliers certified in product class I
- **Trims and accessories**: certified button, zipper and label makers by country
- **Supplier vetting**: check that a supplier is listed with the label you need
- **Lead generation** for chemical, machinery and logistics vendors selling to certified mills

### Pricing

**$2.00 per 1,000 results** (pay per result, $0.002 each), no start fee, platform usage included. A result is one company saved to your dataset. Searches that find nothing, duplicates, companies skipped by "Only suppliers with a website or e-mail" and failed requests are never charged. Set **Max results per search** to cap the cost of a run.

The Buying Guide is free to browse. You pay for the ready rows, the profile fields and the filters, not for access.

No other Store actor covered the OEKO-TEX Buying Guide in a live Apify Store search on 8 November 2026 ("oeko-tex", "textile suppliers", "textile manufacturers", "fabric suppliers"); the nearest certified-supplier actor read WRAP facilities at $4.00 per 1,000. Prices change; check before you compare.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** The public OEKO-TEX Buying Guide at services.oeko-tex.com, where certificate holders appear with their certified products. This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by OEKO-TEX and uses no OEKO-TEX label or logo. OEKO-TEX is a trademark of its owner, named here only to describe the data.

**Does a row prove a valid certificate?** It shows that the company is listed in the Buying Guide for the labels shown. Check a specific product's certificate with the label number on the product, through OEKO-TEX's own label check, before you rely on it.

**Why are e-mails missing on many rows?** Most profiles list a named person's mailbox. Those are not copied. Only role mailboxes are kept.

**What does one search mean?** Every combination of search word, country, material and product type is one search with its own row limit. The standard, product level and product class apply to all of them. Two countries and two materials give four searches.

**How fresh is it?** Each run queries the live Buying Guide.

**Known gaps**: results come in alphabetical order; profile links carry a session token and may stop working after some time (search again to refresh them); a website is kept only when it is a valid address; country names follow the Buying Guide (e.g. "Türkiye", "Korea, South"), but "Turkey", "South Korea", "USA" and "UK" are understood.

### How to use

1. Open the actor, pick the **OEKO-TEX standard** and enter **countries** (e.g. `China`), or a region.
2. Optional: a **product level**, **product types**, **materials**, **search words**, a **product class**.
3. Leave **Read company profiles** on for address, website and certified products; turn it off for a fast name-and-town list.
4. Set **Max results per search** (start with 20), click **Start**, then export the dataset as CSV, Excel or JSON.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `standard` | 100, leather, step, ecopass, mig, organic-cotton. |
| `countries` | Company country; each is its own search. |
| `regions` | A whole region, used when no country is given. |
| `productLevel` | Raw materials / yarns, Fabrics, Commission business, Accessories, End-user goods. |
| `productTypes` | Types inside the levels (Woven fabric, Yarns, Buttons ...). |
| `materials` | Certified material (Cotton, Polyester, Wool ...). |
| `searchTerms` | Free text, e.g. `denim` or a company name. |

| `includeProfiles` | Read each company profile (address, website, products). |
| `requireWebsiteOrEmail` | Save only companies with a website or role mailbox. |
| `maxResultsPerSearch` | Companies per search; 0 = all. |

Unknown values are ignored and listed in the run summary. A filter where no value is valid stops the run instead of widening the search.
