🤔 Why Thomasnet data?

Thomasnet is a go-to directory for industrial suppliers and manufacturers in North America. This actor helps you turn a search results page into a structured list you can actually work with.

• Lead generation: build supplier lists by product, region, or keyword
• Sales and sourcing: compare companies, contacts, and capabilities
• Market research: export profiles for analysis in sheets or BI tools
• Repeatable lists: save the same startUrl and run again when you need a fresh snapshot

🤑 Cost of usage

$1 per 1,000 supplier profiles.

🆓 Free tier limitations

On the free Apify plan, trial limits usually apply:

• Sample data: up to 5 profiles per run
• Daily cap: 5 runs per day (UTC)
• Between runs: at least 30 minutes before the next run

Upgrade to a paid plan when you need higher volume.

❓ FAQ

How much does a run cost?

About $1 per 1,000 profiles. Your actual bill depends on how many rows you collect and your Apify plan.

Why do I only get 5 results?

On the free plan, runs are capped at 5 profiles so you can check data quality before scaling up.

Can I scrape more than one search?

Yes — run the actor again with a different startUrl, or increase maxItems on a paid plan.

Is it legal to scrape Thomasnet?

This actor only collects publicly visible supplier information from search and profile pages. It is not affiliated with Thomasnet. For general guidance, see Apify’s article on web scraping legality.
