Input

Input settings for Wholesale Central Supplier Directory Scraper
Setting	Type	Required	Default	What it does
mode	string	Yes	byCategory	How to discover suppliers. `search` uses the supplier-only search tab; `bySupplier` refreshes a known list of supplier URLs/slugs.
category	string	No	Apparel	One of the 54 live top-level supplier categories (mode=byCategory). Use `categories` to crawl several at once, or `customCategorySlug` for a narrower sub-category.
categories	array	No	[]	Crawl up to 10 live category slugs in one run, e.g. ["Apparel", "Electronics", "Pet-Supplies"]. Values must come from the `category` list. Overrides `category`; `customCategorySlug` is ignored when this is set.
customCategorySlug	string	No	–	Use any narrower WholesaleCentral.com category slug, e.g. `Mens-Apparel` or `Apparel-Dropshippers`. Overrides `category`; leave empty to use the live dropdown list.
searchQuery	string	No	–	Keyword search over supplier names/profiles (mode=search), e.g. `candles` or `bluetooth speakers`. Required in search mode.
supplierUrls	array	No	[]	Full supplier URLs, paths, or slugs to refresh, e.g. ["https://www.wholesalecentral.com/suppliers/fourse0001"]. Duplicates are removed.
state	string	No	–	Keep suppliers in one US state. Accepts a full name or two-letter code (`NY`, `New York`, `California`). Matches the state exactly; it never matches a city substring.
maxMinimumOrderUSD	integer	No	–	Only include suppliers whose minimum order is at most this amount. Suppliers with no disclosed minimum are always included.
keyword	string	No	–	Only include suppliers whose name or description contains this text (case-insensitive).
featuredOnly	boolean	No	false	Only include suppliers the directory badges as a Featured (premium/paid) listing.

More input settings for Wholesale Central Supplier Directory Scraper
Setting	Type	Required	Default	What it does
includeDetails	boolean	No	true	Read each supplier page for phone, full address, website, description, social links, postal code, and product-catalog summary. Turn off for the fastest listing-only run.
includeProductSummary	boolean	No	true	When details are fetched, include productCount, categoryCounts, collectionsCount, sampleProducts, and shipsFrom. No extra request is made.
includeEmbeddedContact	boolean	No	false	Opt in to business email addresses and extra phone/fax numbers that the site embeds in the supplier page payload but does not display. Off by default. Review your privacy and outreach obligations before enabling.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	{"useApifyProxy":false}	Optional. The actor connects directly first and automatically picks a working Apify connection if the site blocks it; you do not need to configure anything.
maxItems	integer	No	20	Hard cap on emitted supplier records. Each category is additionally capped at 100 cards.

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "mode": "byCategory",
    "category": "Apparel",
    "categories": [],
    "supplierUrls": [],
    "featuredOnly": False,
    "includeDetails": True,
    "includeProductSummary": True,
    "includeEmbeddedContact": False,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": True
    },
    "maxItems": 1
}

run = client.actor("nimbryxo-studio/wholesale-central-supplier-directory-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "mode": "byCategory",
    "category": "Apparel",
    "categories": [],
    "supplierUrls": [],
    "featuredOnly": false,
    "includeDetails": true,
    "includeProductSummary": true,
    "includeEmbeddedContact": false,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    },
    "maxItems": 1
};

const run = await client.actor("nimbryxo-studio/wholesale-central-supplier-directory-scraper").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/nimbryxo-studio~wholesale-central-supplier-directory-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"mode":"byCategory","category":"Apparel","categories":[],"supplierUrls":[],"featuredOnly":false,"includeDetails":true,"includeProductSummary":true,"includeEmbeddedContact":false,"proxyConfiguration":{"useApifyProxy":true},"maxItems":1}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=nimbryxo-studio/wholesale-central-supplier-directory-scraper",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Cost of Wholesale Central Supplier Directory Scraper results by Apify plan
Apify plan	Per 1,000	10,000 results	100,000 results
Free plan	$0.99	$9.90	$99
Starter plan	$0.82	$8.20	$82
Scale plan	$0.66	$6.60	$66
Business plan	$0.49	$4.90	$49

Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
