Koelnmesse Exhibitor List Scraper

Pull the complete exhibitor directory from any Koelnmesse trade fair in one run — company name, country, full postal address, exact hall & stand location, verified email and phone, hierarchical product groups, brands, target markets, and LinkedIn / Facebook / Instagram / X / YouTube links. One actor covers Anuga, gamescom, imm cologne, ISM, interzum, Orgatec, IDS, spoga+gafa and the dozens of other fairs Koelnmesse runs in Cologne. Built for B2B sales and lead-generation teams, event marketers, and exhibitors running competitor research who need a clean, structured company list without clicking through thousands of profile pages by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• One actor for every Koelnmesse fair — the same directory recipe covers Anuga, gamescom, imm cologne, ISM, interzum, Orgatec, IDS and spoga+gafa, among the dozens of trade fairs Koelnmesse runs in Cologne. Paste any fair's "List of exhibitors" URL and go — no per-fair setup.
• Verified business email and phone on the large majority of profiles — pulled from each exhibitor's structured company record, so you get a real inbox and a dialable number, not just a company name.
• Exact hall & stand number for every exhibitor — the hallStand value (e.g. "Hall 5.1, Stand D-050 / E-059") for planning an efficient on-site walking route and pre-booking booth meetings before you arrive.
• The fair's official multi-level product-group taxonomy — each exhibitor's full category tree captured root-to-leaf (e.g. "Fine Food > Meat, sausages > Vegetarian & vegan alternatives"), not a single flat keyword.
• Brands, product sector, and target & outlet markets per company — the named brands an exhibitor represents, its product sector, and the retail / wholesale / food-service channels it sells into, straight from the profile.
• Five social networks, correctly scoped to the company — LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube captured where an exhibitor publishes them, never the fair's own house accounts.
• Two output shapes from one run — one clean row per exhibitor for CRM import, or one exploded row per product-group path (with productGroupL1/L2/L3 columns) for pivot-table category analysis.
• Scrape several fairs in a single job with per-row fairName — combine Anuga, ISM and interzum in one run and every row stays attributed to the fair it came from, ready to slice by event.
• Segment scraping by pasted URL — narrow a directory by hall, country or product group on the fair website, paste that filtered URL, and collect exactly that slice instead of the whole floor.

Getting Started

Collect a Whole Directory

Paste a fair's "List of exhibitors" URL and set maxResults to 0 to pull every exhibitor:

{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.anuga.com/anuga-exhibitors/list-of-exhibitors/"],
    "maxResults": 0
}

Scrape One Filtered Segment

Apply a hall, country or product-group filter on the fair website, then paste that URL — the scraper follows the filter automatically:

{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.ism-cologne.com/ism-cologne-exhibitors/list-of-exhibitors/?route=aussteller/blaettern&paginatevalues=%7B%22stichwort%22%3A%22chocolate%22%7D"],
    "maxResults": 200
}

Multiple Fairs, Category Breakdown

Combine several fairs in one run and explode each exhibitor into one row per product-group path:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.anuga.com/anuga-exhibitors/list-of-exhibitors/",
        "https://www.interzum.com/interzum-exhibitors/list-of-exhibitors/"
    ],
    "outputFormat": "multi_row",
    "maxResults": 0
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	URL[]	["https://www.anuga.com/exhibitor/a_koelnmesse/"]	One or more Koelnmesse fair "List of exhibitors" page URLs (Anuga, gamescom, imm cologne, ISM, interzum, Orgatec, IDS, spoga+gafa, and more). Any hall, country or product-group filter already in the URL is followed automatically. List several fairs to collect them in one run. Use the English version of the page when one is offered.

Output

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
outputFormat	select	single_row	single_row keeps each company on one row with all its product groups combined into a list — best for clean B2B lists. multi_row repeats the company once per product-group path (adding productGroup and productGroupL1/L2/L3 columns) — best for filtering by category in Excel or a BI tool.
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of exhibitors (companies) to collect across all listing URLs. Set to 0 to collect every exhibitor in the directory. This limit counts exhibitors, not output rows — in multi_row mode one exhibitor can expand into several product-group rows, so your row count (and billed-result count) can exceed this number. Start with 10–50 to preview the data, then raise it.

Output

Each result is one exhibitor company profile. Here is a representative row in single_row format:

{
    "fairName": "Anuga",
    "companyName": "Rügenwalder Mühle Carl Müller GmbH & Co. KG",
    "country": "Germany",
    "address": "Waldstraße 6, 27356 Rotenburg (Wümme), Germany",
    "hallStand": "Hall 5.1, Stand D-050 / E-059",
    "website": "https://www.ruegenwalder.de",
    "email": "info@ruegenwalder.de",
    "phone": "+49 4261 890",
    "productGroups": [
        "Fine Food > Meat, sausages > Vegetarian & vegan alternatives",
        "Chilled & Fresh Food > Convenience products"
    ],
    "brands": ["Rügenwalder Mühle", "Die Vegetarische Mühle"],
    "productEmphasis": "Plant-based meat alternatives",
    "targetMarkets": "Retail, Wholesale, Food service",
    "productSector": "Meat, sausages, poultry, game",
    "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/ruegenwalder-muehle/",
    "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/ruegenwalder",
    "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/ruegenwalder_muehle/",
    "twitter": null,
    "youtube": "https://www.youtube.com/user/RuegenwalderMuehle",
    "profileUrl": "https://www.anuga.com/exhibitor/ruegenwalder-muehle/"
}

In multi_row format the productGroups array is replaced by a single productGroup path plus productGroupL1, productGroupL2 and productGroupL3 columns, and the company row is repeated once per product-group path — every other field stays the same. Because each exhibitor expands into one row per product-group path, a multi_row run produces more rows than exhibitors, and maxResults still caps exhibitors (companies), not rows — so your total row and billed-result count can be higher than maxResults.

fairName	string	The Koelnmesse fair this exhibitor belongs to (e.g. "Anuga", "ISM Cologne", "interzum")

productSector	string	Product sector / segment classification

Social Profiles

youtube	string	Company YouTube channel URL

Tips for Best Results

• Preview first, then scale — set maxResults to 10–50 on your first run to confirm the fields match what you need, then set it to 0 to collect the entire directory.
• Paste a pre-filtered URL to scrape one segment — narrow the directory by hall, country or product group on the fair website first, then paste that address-bar URL. The scraper collects exactly that slice, so you pay only for the exhibitors you care about instead of the whole floor.
• Use multi_row for category pivots — when you want a per-product-group breakdown of who exhibits in each category, the exploded output with productGroupL1/L2/L3 drops straight into a pivot table with no post-processing.
• Combine fairs in one run — list several fairs' directory URLs together and every row carries its fairName, so you can compare exhibitor line-ups across Anuga, ISM and interzum in a single dataset.
• Use the English page when offered — most Koelnmesse fair sites offer an English "List of exhibitors" page; paste that version and product groups, sectors and markets come back in English.
• Not every company lists socials or a contact — some exhibitors publish no social links, and a minority omit email or phone; those fields come back empty for them, which is expected, not an error.
