EveryData platform API
ThomasNet API
The ThomasNet catalog exposes 2 action-specific paths for Thomasnet manufacturer and industrial-company discovery plus company profiles, beginning with `search`, `company` and preserving each object boundary.
The opening ThomasNet path, `search`, works with matching public results using `keyword`; `company` instead works with one company record using `company`, preventing cross-action assumptions.

What does each ThomasNet action accept?
Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.
Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.
What do the ThomasNet search parameters mean?
Search public results on ThomasNet. Accepts these parameters: area and keyword. Returns these fields: name, address, location_types, and employees_count.
keywordRequired- Specifies the search term for industrial products, materials, or manufacturing services (e.g., injection molding) in the search action. Returns North American manufacturer and industrial-company listings rather than consumer retail products.Thomasnet: A Verified Badge Is Not the Same as a Claimed ProfileThomasnet applies separate verification requirements to company, contact, and product or service information before awarding its verified badge. This endpoint’s `is_claimed` field records profile claim status only; it does not replace that badge or prove that business due diligence was completed.Checked
areaOptional- Filters the manufacturer geographic scope for search and company actions, defaulting to NA (North America). Additional region values are not currently defined in this contract; do not pass raw ISO country codes or city names.
What do the ThomasNet company parameters mean?
Retrieve public company details from ThomasNet. Accepts these parameters: company and area. Returns these fields: annual_sales, brands, name, and image_url.
companyRequired- Specifies the manufacturer or industrial-company name for the company action. Matches are processed by company name and may return multiple entities, requiring location and website verification rather than acting as a unique company ID lookup.Thomasnet: Directory Discovery and Contact Actions Are Separate StepsThomasnet distinguishes verified directory listings from its contact and quote-request actions. This endpoint reads directory data by company name; it does not issue quote requests or certify that a business passed Thomasnet verification.Checked
areaOptional- Filters the manufacturer geographic scope for search and company actions, defaulting to NA (North America). Additional region values are not currently defined in this contract; do not pass raw ISO country codes or city names.

ThomasNet API questions
What can I retrieve with the ThomasNet API?
Set platform to thomasnet. The current catalog lists search and company. These action names identify different ThomasNet objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.
Which input starts a ThomasNet `search` request?
Specifies the search term for industrial products, materials, or manufacturing services (e.g., injection molding) in the search action. Returns North American manufacturer and industrial-company listings rather than consumer retail products. Send it as keyword inside params.
Which fields can ThomasNet `search` return?
Its declared schema includes name, text, address, and phone. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every ThomasNet action return immediately?
No assumption is needed: this page labels each action's delivery mode. The current catalog contains sync delivery; poll a returned job ID only for an action labeled asynchronous.
