A lot of people come to PhantomBuster asking us for the phone numbers and emails of companies being listed in some directory. How infuriating is it to see the data you need right in front of you, but to know that to access it you would need several hours of mindless copy\/pasting?<\/p>\n

So here are the strategies we apply when someone asks us for this kind of data. This is no magic: In most cases, it’ll be easy, sometimes a bit more advanced, and sometimes… impossible (without code).<\/p>\n

But at least you’ll now quickly know in which category you can hopefully access these emails and phone numbers of potentially thousands of leads.<\/p>\n

Case 1: The website displays an index of all exhibitors on one single page<\/h2>\n

\"Trade<\/p>\n

Example: <\/b>R&R2019 Trade show<\/b><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Situation:<\/b> This situation is the easiest; We have here a list of all the exhibitors gathered on one single page. You simply have to click on the company name to see a full-page displaying the phone and email of each company.<\/p>\n

Strategy:<\/b> Use a Data Scraping Crawler on the index page which will extract every link there. Set its depth setting to “1” so that it visits all pages and extract their phones and emails.<\/p>\n

Case 2: The trade-show website you’re targeting displays all results over multiple<\/i> pages<\/h2>\n

\"Trade<\/p>\n

Example: <\/b>All4Pack<\/b><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Situation:<\/b> Loads of exhibitions and lists have 1000s of participants. A common way to display this large amount of results if often to divide them up over multiple pages. So how do we get a list of all these companies if they are scattered all over the place?<\/p>\n

Strategy:<\/b> Let’s use a scary-but-for-real-its-not-that-scary technical word: we’ll forge<\/i> URLs:<\/p>\n
