ThomasNet Suppliers Scraper

🏭 ThomasNet Suppliers Scraper

Turn any ThomasNet supplier search into a clean lead list. Search by product, service or company name, narrow it to a US state or Canadian province, and get every supplier with phone, website, address, revenue range, employee count, year founded, certifications, named personnel, brands and products. No ThomasNet account needed, and a typical search of 20 suppliers finishes in a few seconds.

✨ Why use ThomasNet Suppliers Scraper?

• ⚡ Fast — reads ThomasNet's own data feed directly. 20 suppliers come back in about a second of scraping time, 1,000+ in about a minute.
• 📇 Full profiles in one row — phone, website, address with GPS coordinates, revenue range, employees, year founded, company type, personnel with job titles, certifications (ISO, diversity, registrations), brands, product catalog, news and videos.
• 🔎 Past the first 25 — ThomasNet shows visitors without an account only 25 suppliers per search. The actor repeats your search region by region and around ZIP codes and merges the results, so broad terms return hundreds to a few thousand suppliers.
• 📧 Optional emails — visits each supplier's own website and adds the email addresses it publishes. You only pay for suppliers where an email is found.
• ♻️ Never pay twice — pass the ThomasNet IDs you already have in excludeIds and they are skipped and not charged.
• 🔓 No login, no cookies — public data only.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape ThomasNet? The actor collects only business information that ThomasNet shows publicly to every visitor. Personnel names are business contacts published by the suppliers themselves. Check the rules that apply to your use, for example privacy and email marketing laws.

Do I need a ThomasNet account or my own proxy? No. The default datacenter proxy works well.

How many suppliers can I get? Each search on ThomasNet shows visitors without an account its first 25 suppliers. With expandSearch on, the actor repeats the search for every region and around ZIP codes and merges the results without duplicates. In our tests valve (about 4,700 listed) returned 1,613 suppliers and CNC machining in Texas returned 400 when we asked for 400. Narrow terms return everything ThomasNet lists.

Why is a field empty? Suppliers fill their own profiles, so revenue, personnel, certifications or a logo are missing for some companies. Empty fields are returned as null or an empty list.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs, call it from the API, and use excludeIds to collect only new suppliers on each refresh.

⚠️ Limits

• ThomasNet shows visitors without an account 25 suppliers per search, and filters such as certifications or company type need an account. The actor works around the 25 limit with region and ZIP searches, but very broad terms are not covered completely (about a third of the listed suppliers for a term like valve).
• Company-name search (mode: name) is expanded by region only.
• A ZIP code search returns ThomasNet's first 25 matches near that ZIP for each term.
• Emails come from supplier websites; sites that hide addresses behind contact forms return none.
• Sponsored placements and ThomasNet's own ad slots are not included.
