Thomasnet Suppliers Scraper

Thomasnet Suppliers Scraper: US industrial suppliers with phone, size and certifications

Thomasnet is where American industrial buyers go to find who actually makes a part. Type what you need the way you would type it into their search box, add a state, city or ZIP if you want it local, and get supplier companies back as rows: address, phone, website, year founded, headcount, annual sales and their ISO and AS9100 certifications.

There are no email addresses in here. Thomasnet does not publish them, so no row has one. You get the phone number and the website and you enrich from there.

🔍 What Thomasnet Suppliers Scraper does

Thomasnet files suppliers under categories. Your search term is matched to the closest ones and each is paged in turn, which is how a run gets past the handful of rows a plain text search will give you. maxCategories controls how many it walks: leave it at 1 to stay tightly on topic, raise it when you want a big maxItems filled from neighbouring categories too.

Location works two different ways, and the difference matters. A 5-digit ZIP goes through Thomasnet's own radius filter, so the results really are inside the radius and every row carries distanceMiles. A state or a city goes through Thomasnet's regional index instead, and that index means "serves this region" rather than "is based here". So the run then drops any supplier whose address is outside the state, and outside the city when you named one. Dropped rows are not charged, and the run's status message says how many went.

📥 What you give it

{
  "search": "cnc machining",
  "location": "77002",
  "radiusMiles": 75,
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxCategories": 3
}

Run it with no search and you get one labelled sample row, so you can see the shape first.

The certification list above is cut short; the real row carries three.

🧾 Reading the output

Do not filter on ok: true. Only the sample and diagnostic rows carry ok at all, so that filter keeps exactly the rows you do not want and drops every supplier. Filter on _sample and _diagnostic being absent instead.

▶️ How to run it

1. Open Thomasnet Suppliers Scraper and click Try for free. 2. Type what you need into Product, service or category. 3. Add a Location if you want it local. A ZIP gives you a real radius; a state or city gives you companies based there. 4. Set Maximum suppliers, then click Start. 5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the Apify API.

💰 How much does it cost?

$0.85 per 1,000 suppliers. Flat on every Apify plan, no volume tiers.

You pay per supplier row. Suppliers dropped by the location filter are not charged, the sample row is not charged, and diagnostic rows are not charged. Turning certifications off does not change the price, it just makes each row smaller.

💡 What people use it for

• Building a shortlist of manufacturers for a part, with headcount and sales band already on the row

so you can skip the ones too small or too big for the job.

• Finding certified suppliers only: filter certificationTitles for AS9100 for aerospace, `ISO

13485 for medical, ITAR` for defence work.

• Supplier diversity programmes, using the DIVERSITY entries in certifications rather than

guessing from company names.

• Mapping who makes a thing within driving distance of a plant, with a ZIP and a radius, then using

latitude and longitude to plot it.

• Reshoring research: comparing how many US suppliers a category actually holds before committing to

a sourcing plan.

🚧 What it does not do

• No email addresses. Thomasnet does not publish them.
• North America only, and overwhelmingly the US. That is Thomasnet's coverage, not a setting.
• Company-level data only. No product catalogues, no CAD files, no pricing and no RFQ

submission.

• A term with no matching category stops at 25 rows. Thomasnet lets a signed-out plain-text

search go that far and no further. Most real product terms do match a category and page into the hundreds. If you asked for 200 rows of an unusual phrase and got 25, that is why.

• Row counts are what Thomasnet lists. Setting maxItems to 500 does not invent suppliers that

are not in the category, and a category can also stop early. A count that looks short is worth re-running before you conclude it is the whole market.

• numberEmployees and annualSales are bands, not figures, and they are self-reported to

Thomasnet.

• A city or state search filters on the company's address. A supplier who serves your state from

the next one over is dropped, which is usually what you want and occasionally is not.

• Nothing smaller than a state, except a city. A region name such as California - Northern

searches all of California. A city typed without its state takes the first match Thomasnet suggests (Springfield came back as Springfield, MO), so add the state.

🧭 Which lead scraper do you need?

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a Thomasnet account? No. Everything here is on public supplier pages.

Can I get supplier email addresses? No, because Thomasnet does not publish them. The phone number and website are on every row that has them.

Why did I only get 25 rows? Your term did not match a Thomasnet category, so the search fell back to plain text, which stops at 25. A broader term usually fixes it.

What is the difference between a ZIP search and a city search? A ZIP uses Thomasnet's radius and fills in distanceMiles. A city or state filters on the company's own address afterwards.

Do certifications come with dates? The ones Thomasnet publishes dates for, yes, in the certifications array along with the audit scope.

Is scraping Thomasnet legal? These are public business listings. Check Thomasnet's terms and your own local rules before using the output commercially. Apify's write-up on scraping and the law is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the search term, the location and the run ID. If you got a diagnostic row, its errorCode and hint usually name the problem on their own.
