# ThomasNet industrial suppliers

North American industrial suppliers from ThomasNet, each with name, type (manufacturer, distributor, service), description, address, phone, website, annual. Needs query. Served by Apify.

North American industrial suppliers from ThomasNet, each with name, type (manufacturer, distributor, service), description, address, phone, website, annual sales, headcount, founding year, certifications, brands, products, capabilities and number of locations. Search a product or service (e.g. 'CNC machining') or a company name, filter by US state or Canadian province; optionally add the emails published on each supplier's website. Price: up to $0.00499 per supplier, plus $0.00249 per supplier delivered with at least one email when includeEmails is on, and $0.00001 per dataset item. Billed at the run's actual cost, never more than max_cost_usd (default $0.25), which is enforced upstream as the run's charge limit. Returns { run, items } when the run ends within 40 s, otherwise a run id: fetch the items with apify/run-results (free, tool "thomasnet-suppliers"). A run that times out or reaches the limit returns and bills its partial items.

## Published example

This is the provider tool’s published example. Replace example values with the user’s requested inputs, respecting the schema; do not execute an example merely to test a connection.


```json
{
  "tool_id": "apify/thomasnet-suppliers",
  "input": {
    "query": "valve",
    "maxResults": 2,
    "max_cost_usd": 0.05
  }
}
```

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

This tool uses deferred settlement. Follow its returned task/run instructions; preserve the existing reservation until the result is reconciled.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
