MWC Barcelona Exhibitor List Scraper

Pull the complete GSMA Mobile World Congress (MWC Barcelona) exhibitor directory in one run — company name, country, exact hall & stand booth location, product-interest categories, startup status, founding year, website, and LinkedIn / Facebook / X links for the full ~2,900+ exhibitor list. Built for event marketers, B2B sales and lead-generation teams, and exhibitors running competitive research who need a clean, structured attendee list without clicking through thousands of profile pages by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• The full ~2,900+ MWC Barcelona exhibitor directory — the entire company list from the world's largest mobile and telecom trade show in a single dataset, not a hand-copied sample.
• Exact hall & stand booth locations — every exhibitor's hallStand (e.g. "Hall 2, Stand 2C30") for planning an efficient on-site walking route or pre-booking meetings.
• Product-interest category tags per exhibitor — the 5G, AI, IoT, Cloud, FinTech and other topic tags MWC assigns each company, so you can segment the floor by technology area.
• One-click startups-only filter — flip startupsOnly to isolate 4YFN and early-stage companies, each tagged with its companyType stage and foundingYear.
• Website, direct email & phone, plus LinkedIn, Facebook, X and blog links — pulled from each company's profile page where published (a contact email and phone are listed by roughly 1 in 3 exhibitors), turning the directory into a ready outreach list.
• Keyword search across the whole directory — one searchTerm filters every exhibitor name and description (search "5G", "AI", "payments") without building any URLs.
• Founding year on every company profile — instantly separate established vendors from young startups when qualifying leads or partners.
• Single-row or exploded multi-row output — one clean row per company for CRM import, or one row per product category for pivot tables and BI dashboards.
• Exhibitors from 100+ countries — each row carries its country, so you can slice the floor by region for territory planning and market entry.

{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.mwcbarcelona.com/exhibitors"],
    "maxResults": 0
}

Keyword Search + Startups Only

Filter the directory to early-stage companies in a technology area:

{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.mwcbarcelona.com/exhibitors"],
    "searchTerm": "AI",
    "startupsOnly": true,
    "maxResults": 200
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	URL[]	["https://www.mwcbarcelona.com/exhibitors"]	One or more MWC / GSMA exhibitor directory URLs. Any keyword search already in the URL is followed automatically. Leave the default to collect the whole directory.
searchTerm	string	""	Optional keyword filter across exhibitor names and descriptions — a company name, product, or industry term (e.g. "5G", "AI", "IoT"). Leave empty for every exhibitor.

Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startupsOnly	boolean	false	Keep only exhibitors flagged as startups (e.g. companies in the 4YFN startup programme). Leave off for every exhibitor.

Output

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includeSocialLinks	boolean	true	Visit each exhibitor's profile to collect its website plus LinkedIn, Facebook, X and blog links. Turn off for much faster runs — you still get company name, country, hall & stand, categories, startup status and founding year, but the website and social fields stay empty.
outputFormat	select	single_row	single_row keeps each company on one row with all its product categories combined into a list. multi_row repeats the company once per product category — best for category-level BI analysis.
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum exhibitors to collect. Set to 0 to collect the entire directory (~2,900+). Start with 10–50 to preview, then raise it.

Output

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

{
    "companyName": "Ericsson",
    "country": "SWEDEN",
    "hallStand": "Hall 2, Stand 2C30",
    "companyType": null,
    "isStartup": false,
    "foundingYear": 1876,
    "productCategories": ["5G", "Network Infrastructure", "Cloud", "IoT"],
    "website": "https://www.ericsson.com",
    "email": "contact@ericsson.com",
    "phone": "+46 10 719 0000",
    "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/ericsson",
    "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/ericsson",
    "twitter": "https://x.com/ericsson",
    "blog": "https://www.ericsson.com/en/blog",
    "exhibitorUrl": "https://www.mwcbarcelona.com/exhibitors/ericsson"
}

In multi_row format each row additionally carries a single productCategory field (the full productCategories list is still present on every row), and the company is repeated once per category.

Company Fields

Field	Type	Description
companyName	string	Exhibitor company name
country	string	Country of the exhibiting company
hallStand	string	Hall and stand booth location at the venue (e.g. "Hall 2, Stand 2C30")
companyType	string	Company stage label (e.g. startup programme stage); null for established corporates
isStartup	boolean	true if the exhibitor is flagged as a startup
foundingYear	number	Year the company was founded, when published
exhibitorUrl	string	Direct link to the exhibitor's MWC profile page

Category Fields

Field	Type	Description
productCategories	string[]	All product-interest category tags for the company (single_row output)
productCategory	string	A single product-interest category tag added to each row in multi_row output; the company row is repeated once per category (the full productCategories list is still present alongside it)

Website, Contact & Social Links

Populated when includeSocialLinks is on, where the exhibitor publishes them. Website and social links are the most common; a direct contact email and phone are published by a minority of exhibitors (roughly 1 in 3), so email and phone come back filled where available and empty otherwise.

Field	Type	Description
website	string	Company website URL
email	string	Direct contact email, where the exhibitor publishes one (populates for a minority of exhibitors)
phone	string	Direct contact phone number, where the exhibitor publishes one (populates for a minority of exhibitors)
linkedin	string	LinkedIn profile URL
facebook	string	Facebook page URL
twitter	string	X (Twitter) profile URL
blog	string	Company blog URL

Tips for Best Results

• Preview first, then scale — set maxResults to 10–50 on your first run to confirm the fields match your needs, then set it to 0 for the full directory.
• Fast pass, then targeted pull — set includeSocialLinks off for a quick name / country / booth-only extract of the whole floor, then re-run with it on for just your shortlisted companies to add websites and social links without paying the profile-visit time on every exhibitor.
• Search before you filter — a single searchTerm like "payments" or "IoT" narrows thousands of exhibitors to the technology area you care about, so you enrich far fewer profiles.
• Use multi_row for pivots — when you want a per-category breakdown of who exhibits in "5G" vs. "AI", the exploded output drops straight into a pivot table without any post-processing.
• Combine startups-only with founding year — flip startupsOnly on and sort by foundingYear to surface the newest companies on the floor for scouting.
• Not every company lists socials — some exhibitors publish no website or social links; those fields come back empty for them, which is expected, not an error.
