ThomasNet is the largest industrial supplier database in North America with 500,000+ verified manufacturing companies. It's the standard resource for sourcing B2B suppliers. ### Why are some companies skipped? We only return leads with verified contact information. Companies without emails, phones, or social media on their website are skipped - you don't pay for unusable leads. ### How fresh is the data? Data is scraped in real-time from ThomasNet and company websites. Contact info is extracted live during each run. ### Can I search multiple states? Currently one location per run. For multiple states, run the actor multiple times or leave location empty to search all. ### Is this legal? Yes. ThomasNet is a public business directory. We scrape publicly available company information for legitimate business purposes (lead generation, supplier sourcing). --- ## 🚀 Quick Start ### 1.
