Siemens catalog crawler — discover Siemens part numbers (MPNs) via SiePortal OneSearch keywords and category walks. Export unique MPNs, titles, category paths, and PDP links. Deduplicated output with resume for large catalog builds. Use from Python, Node.js, or MCP.

When to use this Actor

Use the Siemens Catalog Crawler when you need to discover Siemens MPNs by keyword (e.g. 6ES, SIMATIC) or build large catalogs.

For full PDP specs on a known list, use Siemens SiePortal Scraper. For bulk lifecycle screening, use Siemens Lifecycle Tracker.

Key Features

• OneSearch discovery — Keyword shards across SiePortal
• Deduped MPNs — Unique part numbers with PDP links
• Category paths — Breadcrumbs for classification
• Resume / checkpoints — Large catalog builds
• Residential proxy — Recommended for Akamai

Integration examples

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('crawloop/siemens-sieportal-product-catalog-crawler').call({{ searchKeywords: ['6ES'], discoveryMode: 'keywords', locale: 'en-ww', maxProducts: 100, deduplicateOutput: true, proxyConfiguration: {{ useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ['RESIDENTIAL'] }} }});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.slice(0, 5));

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token)
run = client.actor("crawloop/siemens-sieportal-product-catalog-crawler").call(
    run_input={{"searchKeywords": ["6ES"], "discoveryMode": "keywords", "locale": "en-ww", "maxProducts": 100, "deduplicateOutput": True, "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": True, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}}}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("partNumber"), item.get("title"), item.get("source"))

MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via Apify MCP. Connect your Apify account, then call crawloop/siemens-sieportal-product-catalog-crawler.

Example prompts:

• "Run Siemens Catalog Crawler for keyword 6ES, max 100, and return partNumber, title, categoryPath"
• "Discover Siemens MPNs for SIMATIC and summarize by categoryPath"
• "Chain Catalog Crawler then Siemens Lifecycle Tracker for obsolescence screening"

Suite next step

Screen discovered MPNs with Siemens Lifecycle Tracker, then enrich with Siemens SiePortal Scraper.
