FAQ

How many suppliers can I extract? No hard limit. Set maxSuppliers: 0 for unlimited. The full directory has 200,000+ suppliers.

How does the A-Z letter system work? GlobalSpec organizes suppliers alphabetically. Select specific letters to narrow scope, or leave empty for all 26 letters.

What's included in the product catalog? Each product entry includes title, part number, description, image URL, detail page URL, datasheet URL, supplier ID, and service flag. Products are grouped by category.

Can I filter by country or region? Not directly. Use the headquarters field in the output to filter by country or state after extraction.

What if a supplier has no phone or website? Fields return null or empty arrays when data isn't available on the profile page.

How do I dedupe multiple letter runs? Use supplierId as unique key.
