ThomasNet Suppliers Scraper

by SilentFlow

Turn ThomasNet's 200,000+ industrial suppliers into a structured database. Get phone numbers, certifications, personnel, locations, and 70+ fields per supplier. No login, no account, no cookies needed.

✨ Why teams choose this over other ThomasNet scrapers

Copying supplier details from ThomasNet one tab at a time? Rebuilding sourcing lists every time procurement asks for a backup vendor? Losing deals because you can't find ISO-certified alternatives fast enough?

• 📞 Get direct contact data for every supplier. Phone numbers, websites, and key personnel with titles. No digging through profile pages to find who to call.
• 📜 Pull certifications with full details. ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, diversity certs, scope, issue date, active status. Filter by cert type in your spreadsheet instead of clicking through 500 profiles.
• 🏭 Get 70+ fields per supplier. Revenue range, employee count, year founded, product lines, brands, branch locations, certifications, personnel. Other ThomasNet scrapers stop at name and phone number.
• 📍 Every branch location with GPS coordinates. Multi-location suppliers return all offices, not just headquarters. Build geographic coverage maps without manual geocoding.
• 🏷️ Complete product catalogs included. Product names, descriptions, images, brand portfolios, and family categories. See exactly what each supplier manufactures.
• 🔓 No login required. No ThomasNet account, no API key, no cookies. Paste a query and run it.

Use the Apify API to access results programmatically. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Python: Feed supplier data into your sourcing pipeline

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("silentflow/thomasnet-scraper").call(run_input={
    "query": "valve manufacturers",
    "area": "MI",
    "maxResults": 100
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{item['name']} | {item['primaryPhone']} | {item.get('annualSales', 'N/A')}")

JavaScript: Build a supplier database from ThomasNet results

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('silentflow/thomasnet-scraper').call({
    query: 'CNC machining',
    maxResults: 200,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(item => {
    console.log(`${item.name} | ${item.primaryPhone} | ${item.yearFounded}`);
});

💡 Tips for best results

1. Use specific search terms. "FDA-approved silicone tubing" returns a focused list of matching manufacturers. "Tubing" returns 3,000+ mixed results across categories. Narrow queries map to specific ThomasNet headings; broad terms match everything.

2. Deduplicate across queries with tgramsId. Each supplier has a permanent ThomasNet ID. Use it as your unique key when merging results from multiple searches.

3. Filter certifications in post-processing. Pull all suppliers first, then filter the certifications array by type (QUALITY, DIVERSITY, REGISTRATION) or group (ISO 9000, AS9100) in your pipeline.

4. Use area for regional sourcing. Narrow by state or province when proximity matters, or leave "All Regions" and filter results by address.state later for more flexibility.

5. Set maxResults: 0 for full category coverage. When building comprehensive supplier databases, remove the limit to get every matching company in the category.
