🏭 ThomasNet Industrial Supplier Scraper

🚀 Pull qualified B2B suppliers from ThomasNet in seconds. Filter by product, geography, certifications, and ownership type. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-22 · 📊 21 fields per record · 500,000+ North American suppliers · All US states + Canadian provinces · DataDome bypass built-in

ThomasNet is the largest industrial directory in North America, indexing more than 500,000 manufacturers, distributors, and service providers across 70,000 product categories. The catalog is the standard reference for procurement, sourcing, and supplier discovery in industries from aerospace to plumbing. Each supplier profile carries firmographic data (year founded, employee band, annual sales), contact info, geographic coverage, certifications, and product taxonomy, but the catalog itself is gated by DataDome bot protection and is not available as a downloadable feed.

This Actor turns any ThomasNet supplier search into a structured dataset. Provide a product query (or a company name in name mode), narrow with the native ThomasNet filters (geographic area, company type, employee size band, year founded, diversity ownership, industry certifications), and the Actor walks the live results, parses each supplier card, and writes one row per company to your Apify dataset. The bypass uses Camoufox plus Apify residential proxies and rotates session IPs across US, CA, GB, and DE to keep the success rate high even during peak hours.

📋 What the ThomasNet Industrial Supplier Scraper does

• 🔍 Product or company-name search. Run the same queries you would use on the ThomasNet site, with the same matching semantics.
• 🗺️ Geographic filters. All 50 US states, all Canadian provinces, and regional buckets (East Midwest, West PA, Greater Toronto, and more).
• 🏷️ Company-type filters. Restrict to Manufacturer, Distributor, Custom Manufacturer, or Service Company.
• 🎖️ Certification filters. Limit to ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, ISO 13485, NADCAP, FDA registered, and 8 more codes.
• 🤝 Diversity-ownership filters. Minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ-owned, small business, and disabled-veteran-owned.
• 📏 Size and age filters. Minimum and maximum employee count plus year-founded range.

Each record captures the supplier identity (tgramsId, name, logo, description), business classification (type, tier, year founded, employee band, annual sales), contact channel (primary phone, website), trust signals (claimed profile, advertiser status, Xometry verification, multi-location flag), and full postal address with latitude and longitude. The structured headings array preserves the upstream ThomasNet taxonomy so downstream pipelines can re-group results by category without re-fetching.

💡 Why it matters: Manual ThomasNet sourcing is a tab-by-tab exercise. A team can spend a full afternoon collecting 150 qualified leads. This Actor turns that into a 5-minute run and writes the same data as a clean CSV, JSON, or Excel file ready to drop into your CRM.

⚙️ Input

Example: basic product search

{
"query":"hydraulic pumps",
"searchMode":"all",
"area":"NA",
"maxItems":50
}

Example: scoped sourcing run

{
"query":"CNC machining",
"area":"CA",
"companyType":"manufacturer",
"certifications":["ISO_9001","AS9100"],
"ownership":["women_owned"],
"minEmployees":25,
"maxItems":500
}

⚠️ Good to Know: ThomasNet is protected by DataDome. The Actor rotates Camoufox sessions across 4 country pools to keep the success rate high, but in occasional peak-hour windows a fraction of sessions still bounce. Re-run any blocked attempts. Failed runs are not billed.

📊 Output

Each row is a single supplier with 21 typed fields plus a structured address sub-object.
