Europages Suppliers Scraper

Extract public supplier company records from Europages search and category pages for lead generation, sourcing, procurement, and market research.

Use this Actor when you need structured Europages supplier lists that can be exported to CSV, JSON, Excel, API, or automation tools.

At a glance

• Primary job: Turn public Europages supplier search/category pages into structured company lead records.
• Input: Paste Europages category/search URLs or enter a query such as machining.
• Output: One dataset row per unique supplier company with profile URL, location, employee range, and optional public contacts.
• Best for: B2B sourcing, supplier discovery, CRM imports, market mapping, and recurring lead monitoring.

Common workflows

• Supplier sourcing: Collect companies from a product or service category such as machining, packaging, plastics, or textiles.
• Lead generation: Export company names, public profile URLs, websites, phones, and emails when visible for CRM enrichment.
• Market research: Compare suppliers by country, city, employee range, and area served.
• Monitoring: Schedule repeated bounded runs for important supplier categories and compare new results over time.
• Automation: Use Apify API, webhooks, MCP, or dataset exports to feed sales, procurement, or BI workflows.

Input recipes

• Machining supplier smoke test: startUrls: [{"url":"https://www.europages.co.uk/companies/machining.html"}], maxItems: 10, includeDetails: false.
• Query-based category run: query: "packaging", maxItems: 30, includeDetails: false.
• Contact enrichment sample: Use a focused category URL with maxItems: 15 and includeDetails: true to visit public company profiles.

What data can you extract?

Example input

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.europages.co.uk/companies/machining.html" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 30,
  "includeDetails": false
}

Example output

{
  "source": "europages",
  "sourceId": "00000005519114-001",
  "searchUrl": "https://www.europages.co.uk/companies/machining.html",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.europages.co.uk/ILK-IHRACAT-AS/00000005519114-001.html",
  "companyName": "ILK IHRACAT AS.",
  "description": null,
  "city": "Izmir",
  "country": "TR",
  "addressText": "Izmir, TR",
  "website": null,
  "phones": [],
  "emails": [],
  "employeeRange": "50-99",
  "areaServed": "international",
  "products": [],
  "certifications": [],
  "position": 1,
  "detailStatus": "not_requested",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-18T08:00:00.000Z"
}

Tips for best results

• Start small: Use maxItems: 10 until output quality and pricing are verified.
• Prefer precise categories: Europages category URLs usually produce cleaner supplier lists than broad keywords.
• Use detail enrichment selectively: includeDetails can add public contacts but makes runs slower because profile pages are visited.
• Expect optional blanks: Europages does not expose every phone, email, website, or certification publicly.

API usage

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor("fetch_cat/europages-suppliers-scraper").call({
  startUrls: [{ url: "https://www.europages.co.uk/companies/machining.html" }],
  maxItems: 30,
  includeDetails: false
});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/europages-suppliers-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.europages.co.uk/companies/machining.html" }],
    "maxItems": 30,
    "includeDetails": False,
})
print(run["defaultDatasetId"])

• Coverage: Results depend on Europages public pages and category availability.
• Freshness: Supplier details can change after a run finishes.
• Rate limits: Public endpoints may throttle very large or frequent runs; keep concurrency conservative.
