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 ## Europages Company Scraper Search Europages by any product or industry keyword and get clean, structured B2B supplier and manufacturer profiles — company name, location, description, activities, phone, and website. ### Why use this actor - **Find suppliers by keyword** — type a product or industry term and get the companies that offer it, straight from Europages. - **Full company profiles** — name, country and city, description, the activities they're listed under, plus phone and website when public. - **Five Europages sites** — search the International (English) directory or the French, German, Italian, or Spanish sites. - **No account, no API key** — works straight from the public company directory. - **Stable JSON output** — the same field names every run, ready for spreadsheets, CRMs, databases, or lead pipelines. ### How it works 1. You provide one or more search keywords and pick the Europages site to search. 2. For each keyword, the actor loads the company directory results page fully, just like a real visitor, and reads every company card on it. 3. Each company is saved as a `COMPANY` record with its location, description, activities, and contact details when shown. 4. Everything lands in your dataset, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel. You don't need to manage any browsers or scrapers. > **Residential proxy required.** Europages only serves its pages to genuine residential visitors. You **must** run this actor with the Apify **RESIDENTIAL** proxy group (it is prefilled in the input). Because the actor loads each page fully like a real visitor, it is more compute-intensive than a simple data scraper — this is reflected in its pricing. ### Input ```json { "queries": [ "earbuds", "industrial valves" ], "country": "www.europages.co.uk", "maxItems": 50, "maxRequestRetries": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` Each keyword in `queries` is processed independently and produces its own set of `COMPANY` records. | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `queries` | array | **Required.** Product or industry keywords to find suppliers for (one per entry). | | `country` | string | Europages site to search. One of: `www.europages.co.uk` (International, English), `www.europages.fr` (France), `www.europages.de` (Germany), `www.europages.it` (Italy), `www.europages.es` (Spain). The site sets the interface language. Default `www.europages.co.uk`. | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum company profiles to collect per keyword (`1`–`500`). Default `50`. | | `maxRequestRetries` | integer | How many times a keyword search is retried before giving up (`1`–`10`). Default `3`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | **Required.** Apify Proxy configuration. The **RESIDENTIAL** group is required — datacenter IPs are turned away. Prefilled for you. | ### Output Per company (`recordType: "COMPANY"`): ```json { "recordType": "COMPANY", "query": "earbuds", "domain": "www.europages.co.uk", "name": "Example Audio Manufacturing Ltd", "url": "https://www.europages.co.uk/EXAMPLE-AUDIO/00000001234-001.html", "country": "United Kingdom", "city": "Manchester", "description": "Manufacturer of wireless earbuds and audio accessories for OEM and retail.", "activities": ["Earphones", "Audio accessories", "Consumer electronics"], "phone": "+44 161 000 0000", "website": "https://example-audio.com", "logo": "https://www.europages.co.uk/.../logo.png", "source": "directory", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-10T12:00:00Z" } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `recordType` | string | Always `"COMPANY"`. | | `query` | string | The keyword that produced this record. | | `domain` | string | The Europages site that was searched. | | `name` | string | Company name. | | `url` | string | Link to the company's Europages profile. | | `country` | string | Company country. | | `city` | string | Company city/locality when shown. | | `description` | string | Short company description. | | `activities` | array | Activities/categories the company is listed under. | | `phone` | string | Public phone number when shown. | | `website` | string | Company website when shown. | | `logo` | string | Company logo URL when shown. | | `source` | string | Where the row came from on the page. | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of collection. | If a keyword's page cannot be loaded, the actor emits a diagnostic row for that keyword (`error: "WAF_BLOCKED"`) instead of silently skipping it — re-run that keyword with the RESIDENTIAL proxy group enabled. ### Other B2B Scrapers | Actor | Description | | --- | --- | | [Alibaba Company Scraper](https://apify.com/alibaba-company-scraper) | Supplier company profiles from Alibaba with capabilities and certifications. | | [Alibaba RFQ Scraper](https://apify.com/alibaba-rfq-scraper) | Live buyer requests-for-quotation from Alibaba sourcing. | | [Europages Company Scraper](https://apify.com/europages-company-scraper) | B2B supplier and manufacturer profiles from Europages by keyword. | # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): Product or industry keywords to find B2B suppliers/manufacturers for (one per array entry). Each keyword runs its own company search. ## `country` (type: `string`): Which Europages country site to search. The site decides the interface language and the localized company-search path. Default International (English). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of company profiles to collect per keyword. ## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`): How many times a keyword search is retried (full page reload) before giving up. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): REQUIRED. Europages protects its pages with a security check that only clears from a clean residential IP. You MUST use the Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy group (prefilled). Datacenter IPs are escalated to a human-verification step that cannot be passed automatically. ## Actor input object example ```json { "queries": [ "earbuds" ], "country": "www.europages.co.uk", "maxItems": 50, "maxRequestRetries": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
