ImportYeti Scraper

🚢 ImportYeti Scraper

Get US customs import records from ImportYeti: every importer and overseas supplier with total shipments, top trading partners, HS codes, recent bills of lading, shipping lanes, ports, carriers, containers and addresses. Search by company, supplier or product name, by address, or paste profile URLs. No login and no ImportYeti account needed, and every full profile has 80+ fields.

✨ Why use ImportYeti Scraper?

• 🔎 Find suppliers and buyers fast: search any brand, product keyword or address and get the matching US importers and foreign exporters.
• 📦 Full trade profiles: partners with shipment counts, HS and HTS codes, the 50 most recent bills of lading, lanes from exit port to entry port, carriers (SCAC), container types and monthly shipment history.
• 🧭 Filters that match the site: entity type, most recent shipment (6 or 12 months), minimum shipments and country.
• 💸 Cheaper search mode: switch off full profiles to export just the search rows (name, type, country, address, shipments, last shipment) at a fraction of the price.
• 🔓 No account needed: only public ImportYeti pages are used. Masked phone numbers stay masked.
• ⚡ Fast and steady: profiles load in parallel, and a fresh exit takes over when one gets refused.

🎯 Use cases

• 🤝 Lead generation: build lists of US importers in a product category (for example everyone importing HDMI cables) and reach out with your offer.
• 🏭 Supplier sourcing: see which factories ship to a brand you know, and how much and how recently.
• 🕵️ Competitor research: track a competitor's suppliers, lanes, volumes and quarterly growth.
• 📊 Market and supply-chain analysis: compare HS codes, ports and carriers across companies, and follow shipment trends month by month.
• ✅ Due diligence: check a counterparty's trade history, other names, addresses and UFLPA flags before you sign.

🚀 How to use

1. Type one or more company, supplier or product names into Search queries (or set Search by to Address and type a city or street).
2. Or paste ImportYeti URLs: company or supplier profiles, search pages, or HS code, product tag, location, address, port and carrier pages that list companies.
3. Set Max results per search and any filters.
4. Click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read them through the API.

With Full profiles off, each row holds name, type, countryCode, address, totalShipments, mostRecentShipment, otherAddressesCount, otherNamesCount and detailUrl.

💰 Pricing

• Full profile: $5.50 per 1,000 profiles ($0.0055 each).
• Search row (Full profiles off): $1.00 per 1,000 rows.
• Platform usage (compute and proxy traffic) is billed on top and stays small next to the event price.
• Example: 1,000 full profiles cost about $5.50 plus usage.

Rows that fail to load are never charged. Set a maximum charge for the run and it stops cleanly when the budget is used up.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal? The actor reads public ImportYeti pages built from US customs bill-of-lading records. Make sure your use fits your local laws and the site's terms, especially for personal data.

Do I need a login or a proxy? No login. The default datacenter proxy works. If it gets refused, the run switches to US residential exits by itself.

How many results can I get? ImportYeti shows visitors without an account only the first 140 results of a search. When a search has more matches, the actor re-runs it with filter variants (importers vs suppliers, shipment-volume tiers, recency) and merges the new matches, so one query can reach several hundred profiles. Add more queries, address searches or listing pages for more.

Why is a field empty or masked? ImportYeti shows phone numbers only partly to visitors without an account, and some companies have no website, partners or recent bills of lading on record. Empty fields are null or [].

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs in the console, or start them through the API and fetch the dataset as JSON or CSV.

I used another ImportYeti scraper before. Will my workflow fit? Field names follow the common ImportYeti naming (name, type, totalShipments, topTradingPartners, recentBols, ...), so most pipelines need only small changes.

⚠️ Limits

• Only data ImportYeti shows to visitors without an account: partly masked phone numbers, the 50 most recent bills of lading per profile, and US import records (no premium datasets such as Mexico imports or US exports).
• ImportYeti shows only the first 140 results of each search to visitors without an account. Filter variants recover more, but not always every match of a very broad query.
• Text search by HS code needs an ImportYeti account. Paste HS code page URLs into startUrls instead.
