- Compiled the tradeshow exhibitors scout
I have initiated the extraction ladder for the Messe Düsseldorf VIS platform. I successfully located the internal API at /vis-api/vis/v3/ and bypassed the lazy-loading UI to retrieve the full catalog. After processing 3,241 entries, I identified 847 strict hardware manufacturers (machine builders, robotics, and sensor manufacturers) while excluding 2,394 distributors, raw material suppliers, and service providers.

About this skill
The problem
Exhibitor lists are often trapped behind infinite-scroll UIs, embedded JSON blobs, or complex PDF directories. Manually identifying true hardware manufacturers from thousands of distributors and service firms is slow and error-prone.
What it does
- Extracts complete exhibitor lists from complex architectures including SPA/JSON APIs, SSR payloads like
__NEXT_DATA__, and embedded catalog platforms. - Filters results using strict hardware classification rules to isolate companies that design and manufacture physical engineered products.
- Enriches company data with verified official websites, LinkedIn profiles validated via website matching, and booth numbers.
- Handles long-running scans for 1000+ companies with incremental persistence to survive network drops or timeouts.
Frameworks & tools
Integrates with headless scrapers like Firecrawl, handles PDF parsing via pdfjs-dist, and utilizes vision models for high-resolution vertical tiling of visual directories.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
A simple prompt will hallucinate missing entries or stop after the first page of a lazy-loaded list. This skill uses a multi-stage extraction ladder to find the underlying API or data structure, ensuring the final count matches the event's stated total.
Use cases
- Scanning massive industrial tradeshows for potential OEM partners or acquisition targets.
- Converting PDF event directories into structured Excel lead lists for sales teams.
- Identifying international hardware manufacturers entering a specific market via regional expos.
Known limitations
Limited to 80 pages per API scan. LinkedIn enrichment requires manual verification due to high platform noise. Requires a source with visible or fetchable text/JSON data.
