The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## National Aquaculture Association Supplier Directory Actor Scrapes the National Aquaculture Association's public supplier directory (https://members.nationalaquaculture.org/aquaculture-suppliers/) into a normalized dataset of aquaculture feed, equipment, health/lab, water-system, gear, and consulting vendors. ### Use cases 1. Fish-farm and hatchery procurement teams building a vendor shortlist by category (feed, equipment, water/environment, health & lab services, consulting, gear/apparel). 2. Aquaculture equipment/feed manufacturers researching adjacent suppliers and competitors for market mapping. 3. Industry researchers and consultants needing a normalized, exportable list of active U.S. aquaculture suppliers instead of manually paging through the directory. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `startUrls` | array | 6 top-level category search pages | NAA supplier directory category URLs to scrape | | `maxItems` | integer | 100 | Maximum number of supplier records to emit | | `fetchDescriptions` | boolean | true | Visit each supplier's detail page for About text + address (off = card-only, faster) | | `delaySeconds` | number | 1.2 | Delay between requests | ### Output fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `companyName` | Supplier/company name | | `detailUrl` | Canonical detail page URL | | `descriptionText` | Cleaned About text from the detail page (blank if none) | | `phone` | Business phone number | | `websiteUrl` | Supplier's own website | | `logoUrl` | Card/detail logo image URL | | `categories` | Comma-joined category/subcategory tags | | `sourcePageUrl` | The category search page this record was first found on | | `streetAddress` | Detail-page address, when present (often blank) | | `crawlTimestamp` | ISO timestamp of the scrape | ### Example output ```json { "companyName": "American Feeder", "detailUrl": "https://members.nationalaquaculture.org/aquaculture-suppliers/Details/american-feeder-4052998", "descriptionText": "CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR PRODUCTS", "phone": "(971) 292-8827", "websiteUrl": "http://www.american-feeder.com/", "logoUrl": "https://res.cloudinary.com/micronetonline/image/upload/.../american-feeder.png", "categories": "Feeders, Feed Storage", "sourcePageUrl": "https://members.nationalaquaculture.org/aquaculture-suppliers/Search/farming-equipment-and-electronics-462622", "streetAddress": null, "crawlTimestamp": "2026-07-10T21:00:00+00:00" } ```` ### Pricing $25 per 1,000 results (Pay-Per-Event, per record returned). | Results | Cost | |---|---| | 100 | $2.50 | | 500 | $12.50 | | 1,000 | $25.00 | | 5,000 | $125.00 | ### Notes - Each of the 6 top-level category pages returns its full result set on a single page load — no cross-page pagination to follow. - Suppliers listed under multiple categories are deduplicated by `detailUrl`; their `categories` field merges tags seen across every category page they appear on. - Respects `robots.txt` (only `*/TellAFriend` paths are disallowed) and rate-limits requests by `delaySeconds` between both category and detail page fetches. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): NAA supplier directory category search URLs to scrape. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of supplier records to emit. ## `fetchDescriptions` (type: `boolean`): Visit each supplier's detail page for its About description and address (when present). Turn off for a faster card-only run. ## `delaySeconds` (type: `number`): Polite pause between requests. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://members.nationalaquaculture.org/aquaculture-suppliers/Search/consulting-and-design-462623" }, { "url": "https://members.nationalaquaculture.org/aquaculture-suppliers/Search/farming-equipment-and-electronics-462622" }, { "url": "https://members.nationalaquaculture.org/aquaculture-suppliers/Search/feed-462621" }, { "url": "https://members.nationalaquaculture.org/aquaculture-suppliers/Search/gear-and-apparel-590221" }, { "url": "https://members.nationalaquaculture.org/aquaculture-suppliers/Search/health-and-laboratory-services-462624" }, { "url": "https://members.nationalaquaculture.org/aquaculture-suppliers/Search/water-environment-478447" } ], "maxItems": 100, "fetchDescriptions": true, "delaySeconds": 1.2 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("tehsnarf/national-aquaculture-suppliers-directory").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
