Swapcard Event Scraper — Exhibitors, Speakers & Contacts

Extract every public exhibitor and speaker from any Swapcard event — straight from Swapcard's own GraphQL API. No browser, no rendering overhead: a full ~1,300-record event scrapes in under 4 minutes, structured and deduplicated.

Built for lead generation, market research, and event intelligence — turn a public event into a clean exhibitor database with company emails, websites, addresses, and product categories, plus the full speaker lineup.

What you get

Per exhibitor — full company profile (default)

Field	Notes
Name, type, featured flag, booth(s)
Company description	The real profile copy, not the floor-plan placeholder
Email, website
Social links	LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube
Full split address	line 1, line 2, city, state, postal code, country
Product categories & track
Phone numbers, documents, logo
customFields	Every custom field the event defines — nothing dropped
Booth contact persons	Name, title, organization, photo — included free when listed

Per speaker — agenda lineup (default)

Name, organization, photo, profile URL, and the session title(s) they present.

Per speaker — full profile enrichment (optional, paid add-on)

Enable includeSpeakerDetails to add, per speaker:

• Biography, job title, website
• Social links (LinkedIn / X / Instagram / Facebook / YouTube)
• All custom profile fields — job level, member type, country, time zone, and whatever else the event defines
• Detailed sessions — start/end times, room, and format
• A booth cross-reference when the speaker is also exhibitor staff

Privacy: personal contact details (personal email, phone, home address) are never collected. Public professional data only.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array	—	Required. Public Swapcard event URLs, e.g. https://app.swapcard.com/event/<slug>/exhibitors/<viewId>. Subdomain and /widget/ variants are supported.
includeDetails	boolean	true	Full exhibitor enrichment (description, email, address, categories, socials…).
includeContacts	boolean	true	Booth contact persons (name / title / org / photo) — free, part of the exhibitor record.
includeSpeakers	boolean	true	Scrape the speaker / agenda views (fast base fields).
includeSpeakerDetails	boolean	false	Paid add-on. Full speaker profiles (bio, socials, job title, website, custom fields, detailed sessions). Adds time; billed only per speaker actually enriched.
maxItems	integer	3000	Record cap (exhibitors + speakers share it).
proxyConfiguration	object	Datacenter	Apify Proxy. Rotates IPs per request; auto-escalates to residential only if a tier starts failing.
minRequestDelayMs	integer	250	Politeness delay before each request (plus jitter).
maxConcurrency	integer	20	Parallelism for detail fetches (1–30).

Minimal input (this exact input runs — it's a public demo event):

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://app.swapcard.com/event/evolve-the-virtual-event-for-planners/exhibitors/RXZlbnRWaWV3XzMwNTk4" }
  ]
}

How to get your event URL

The input is the exhibitor-list view URL — not the event's marketing page and not a single company's profile. To get it:

1. Open the event in the Swapcard web app (app.swapcard.com/event/...).
2. Click the Exhibitors (sometimes Partners & Exhibitors) tab so the full list is on screen.
3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. It looks like: https://app.swapcard.com/event/<event-slug>/exhibitors/<viewId>

That /exhibitors/<viewId> path (plural, with a view ID) is what the Actor needs. A single company page (/exhibitor/<id>, singular) or the public swapcard.com marketing site are not valid inputs. Speaker/agenda views on the same event are picked up automatically — you only need the one exhibitor-list URL.

Working example (a public event you can open right now to see the format): https://app.swapcard.com/event/evolve-the-virtual-event-for-planners/exhibitors/RXZlbnRWaWV3XzMwNTk4

Output

Every record is pushed to the dataset with a stable schema — the same keys on every row, missing values as explicit null, so it drops cleanly into a CRM, spreadsheet, or pipeline. Each record carries a recordType of exhibitor or speaker.

In the dataset, switch to the Exhibitors or Speakers view for a clean per-type table, or All fields for everything.

Example exhibitor record (abbreviated):

{
  "recordType": "exhibitor",
  "exhibitorName": "Acme Analytics",
  "exhibitorType": "Featured Exhibitor",
  "boothNumber": "1224",
  "description": "Acme builds lab-grade analytics instruments…",
  "email": "sales@acme.example",
  "website": "https://acme.example",
  "socialLinks": { "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/acme" },
  "city": "Raleigh", "state": "NC", "country": "United States",
  "categories": ["Instrumentation", "Data & AI"],
  "track": "Instrumentation & Nanoscience",
  "contactPersons": [
    { "name": "Jane Doe", "jobTitle": "Sales Director", "organization": "Acme Analytics" }
  ],
  "profileUrl": "https://app.swapcard.com/event/.../exhibitor/...",
  "eventName": "Your Event",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-02T00:00:00.000Z"
}

Pricing — pay per result

Event	When it's charged
exhibitor-scraped	Per exhibitor returned. Includes the full profile and booth contacts at no extra charge.
speaker-detail	Per speaker actually enriched (only with includeSpeakerDetails on). Speakers that return no extra data cost nothing — you pay only for results that worked.

Platform usage (compute and proxies) is included free — you pay only the per-result prices above, capped by the max cost per run you set. No surprise compute bills.

How it works

This Actor talks to Swapcard's GraphQL API directly — the same API the Swapcard web app uses — rather than rendering pages in a browser. That's why it's fast and cheap, and why the output is already structured rather than parsed out of HTML.

• Resilient by design. If Swapcard rotates an API hash, the core exhibitor scrape keeps working and any affected add-on surfaces a clear warning instead of failing the run.
• Complete by default. Pagination is followed to the end, and the run validates exhibitor coverage against the event's reported total — it warns loudly rather than silently shipping a partial dataset.
• Honest run status. If an event has no public exhibitors or speakers (e.g. a finished event), the run succeeds with a plain-English explanation and charges nothing — it never reports a false error.

Common uses

• Lead generation — exhibitor companies with emails, websites, and booth contacts.
• Competitive & market research — who exhibits in a category, with product tags and tracks.
• Event & sponsorship intelligence — full exhibitor and speaker lineups, enriched on demand.
