# ImportYeti Supplier Scraper

**Use case:** 

Find the factories behind a product using US customs records. This example searches suppliers for a consumer brand keyword and returns the supplier name, country, shipment count and the buyers they ship to. Sourcing teams use it to find manufacturers that already serve a competitor, with proof rather than a directory listing.

## Input

```json
{
  "query": "electronics",
  "searchType": "search",
  "type": "supplier",
  "mostRecentShipment": "any",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "requestTimeout": 30,

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/silentflow/importyeti-scraper.md

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`).
