IAPMO R&T Product Listing Directory

What does IAPMO R&T Product Listing Directory do?

IAPMO R&T Product Listing Directory extracts product certification records from IAPMO R&T's public MyPLC directory — the certification database IAPMO maintains for plumbing, mechanical, and water-system products across the US, Canada, and Mexico. Give it one or more searches (by listee/manufacturer name, product description, standard, file number, brand name, or listed model) and it returns structured JSON records: project/file number, manufacturer, product description, applicable standard, certification status, and a direct link to the certificate. Run it on-demand from the Apify Console or API, or schedule it to re-check certification status on a recurring basis — no proxy or browser required, since the target exposes a clean public JSON API under the hood.

Why use IAPMO R&T Product Listing Directory?

• Compliance verification — confirm a plumbing/mechanical product actually holds an active IAPMO R&T certification before specifying, purchasing, or listing it.
• Competitive/market research — pull every certified product for a given manufacturer or product category in one structured export.
• Procurement and specification — feed certification status and standard references directly into a BOM, spec sheet, or vendor-qualification workflow.
• Monitoring — schedule recurring runs to catch newly-cancelled listings or newly-added certifications for manufacturers you track.

How to use IAPMO R&T Product Listing Directory

1. Click Try for free (or Start) on the Actor page.
2. In the Input tab, add one or more entries to searches — each is a searchCategory (listee, productDescription, standard, fileNumber, listedModel, or brandName), a query string, and an optional searchType (all, exact, or any; defaults to all).
3. Optionally set maxItemsPerSearch and maxItems to cap how many records are pulled.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Open the Dataset tab (or fetch it via the API) to view or download the results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searches	array (required)	List of {searchCategory, query, searchType} objects to run
maxItemsPerSearch	integer	Max records pulled per search entry (default 100)
maxItems	integer	Overall cap across all searches combined (default 500)

Example input:

{
  "searches": [
    { "searchCategory": "listee", "query": "Kohler", "searchType": "all" },
    { "searchCategory": "productDescription", "query": "water heater", "searchType": "all" }
  ],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 100,
  "maxItems": 500
}

Output

Each dataset item is one certification record. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. Real example from a live test run (searchCategory: "listee", query: "Kohler"):

Tips

• Searching by listee (manufacturer name) is the fastest and most reliable way to pull a company's full certification portfolio.
• standard-category searches against very common terms can be slow on IAPMO's end — the Actor handles this gracefully (skips a timed-out page rather than failing the run), but expect longer run times for broad standard searches.
• Use maxItemsPerSearch to keep individual broad searches (e.g. a common brand name) from consuming your whole run budget.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

This Actor only reads publicly-accessible product/company/certificate metadata from IAPMO R&T's public directory — it does not access any account-gated MyPLC data and requires no login. Data accuracy and availability depend on IAPMO R&T's own systems being up to date. If you run into an issue or need a custom variant (e.g. covering the Solar or LADWP listing areas), open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab.
