ImportYeti US import records (bills of lading) API

ImportYeti Scraper & API is a pay-per-record Apify Actor by Daemon Data that returns US import records from ImportYeti: latest bills of lading per importer or supplier, or a company profile with top suppliers as JSON, CSV or Excel. It costs $0.002 per shipment with the default options ($2.00 per 1,000); no login to the source site and no proxy or browser to set up on your side, and the same input runs from the Apify console, one REST call, Python, Node.js, n8n or an AI assistant through MCP.

Input and how to call it

Example input. Fields and pricing were checked against the public listing on 2026-11-09; this build does not run paid example searches.

{
  "companies": [
    "walmart"
  ],
  "output": "shipments",
  "maxResults": 100
}

One HTTP call starts a run, waits for it and returns the records (token from console.apify.com):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/data_daemon~importyeti-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"companies": ["walmart"], "output": "shipments", "maxResults": 100}'

Python: ApifyClient(token).actor("data_daemon/importyeti-scraper").call(run_input=...). Python example · Node.js example · n8n workflow. AI assistant (MCP): add the remote server https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=data_daemon/importyeti-scraper with header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code and ask for the data in plain words.

All input fields

Field	Type	Meaning
`companies`	array	Company names or ImportYeti URLs, e.g. `Walmart`, `ikea-supply`, `https://www.importyeti.com/company/wal-mart`. A name is turned into the page address (`Ikea Supply` becomes /company/ikea-supply); if it is not found, copy the exact URL from importyeti.com.
`suppliers`	array	Supplier names or ImportYeti supplier URLs, e.g. `https://www.importyeti.com/supplier/foxconn`. Shipments then list the US importers they ship to.
`output`	string	`shipments`: one row per recent bill of lading (the page lists the 50 newest). `profile`: one row per company with totals, top suppliers (or, for supplier pages, top US buyers), HS codes, port lanes and monthly shipments for up to the last 24 months that had shipments.
`shippedWithinDays`	integer	Shipments mode: keep bills of lading dated within the last N days.
`maxShipmentsPerCompany`	integer	Up to 50 (ImportYeti shows the 50 newest bills of lading per company).
`topSuppliers`	integer	Profile mode: how many suppliers (company pages) or US buyers (supplier pages) to include, up to 50, largest first.
`maxResults`	integer	Stop after this many saved rows (default 100). 0 = no cap.
`onlyNewSinceLastRun`	boolean	Shipments: skip bills of lading delivered by earlier runs. Profiles: deliver a company again only after it has a newer shipment. Memory is kept in a key-value store named `importyeti-state` (skipped rows are not charged).
`stateName`	string	By default it follows the output and the company list.
`skipIds`	array	Bill of lading numbers (shipments) or `company/<slug>` ids (profiles) you already have. Not saved, not charged.

Price

$0.002 per shipment ($2.00 per 1,000); $0.01 per company profile ($10.00 per 1,000); $0.001 per run. List prices for Apify Free and Starter plans; Scale and Business plans pay 15% to 30% less.

Event	Price	Per 1,000	Charged when
Shipment	$0.002	$2.00	One bill of lading saved to the dataset: date, supplier and country, weight, quantity, containers, cargo description, route, estimated freight cost. Rows skipped by only-new mode, skipIds or the date filter are never charged.
Company profile	$0.01	$10.00	One company profile saved to the dataset: totals, up to 50 suppliers with volumes and HS codes, HS-code breakdown, port lanes and the 24-month shipment trend.
Actor Start	$0.001		Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).

Cost example: 50 shipments with default options cost $0.101, including any start fee. This is an illustrative record count; set explicit row and total-charge caps for your run. Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month, about 2,500 shipments before start fees; the Actor's own compute is included in the per-record price, and records skipped by filters, de-duplication or only-new mode are not charged.

Alternatives, honestly

Option	What it gives you	Where it falls short for this job
ImportYeti website	Free search of US customs bills of lading	One company page at a time; no export or alerts
ImportYeti's official API (data.importyeti.com)	REST endpoints for company profiles, shipments and search	Needs an ImportYeti account, API key and prepaid data credits; this Actor bills per row on your Apify account instead
Paid trade-data platforms (Panjiva, ImportGenius and similar)	Global customs data, contacts, analytics	Team subscriptions; more than a per-company shipment watch needs
Other ImportYeti Actors on Apify Store	Same source	Compare shipment vs profile output, price per 1,000 and only-new mode
