Messe Duesseldorf Exhibitor List Scraper

Overview

A web scraper for extracting structured exhibitor data from trade show directories hosted on Messe Duesseldorf event websites. It targets pages with a consistent HTML structure, specifically URLs containing /vis/v1/. Use it for B2B lead generation, market research, or competitive analysis.

Key Features

• Extracts detailed company profiles including:
  • Company name, description, and contact details.
  • Website and social media links.
  • Product categories and offerings.
  • Contact person information.
• Supports multiple Messe Duesseldorf trade fairs (e.g., MEDICA, Boot Düsseldorf, interpack) that share the same underlying page structure.
• Integrates with a free URL tester to verify compatibility before running.

How to Use

1. Verify URL Compatibility: Before running the actor, test your target exhibitor list URL with the Exhibitor List Scrapers Router & URL Tester to confirm this scraper can process it.
2. Provide the Start URL: Configure the actor with the URL of the exhibitor list search page. Supported URLs typically follow this pattern: https://www.[event-domain].com/vis/v1/en/search?ticket=g_u_e_s_t&_query=&f_type=profile.
3. Run the Actor: The scraper will navigate the list, extract data from each exhibitor's detail page, and output structured JSON.

Note: For a current list of tested and supported event websites, check the GitHub repository.
