Thomasnet supplier search
Industrial suppliers on Thomasnet for a product or service: id, name, profile link, description, supplier type (manufacturer, distributor, service company...), tier, phone, website, logo, employees, annual sales, year founded, address with coordinates, capabilities (materials, industries, production scale), categories, products and videos; plus the matched category, related categories, the total number of suppliers and the site's filter options with counts. Returns the first 25 suppliers (the site shows later pages to signed-in users only); narrow with region. Narrow with the site's own filters: supplier validation, video type, catalogs, production scale and brand (values from filters of an unfiltered search); several values of one filter must all match. applied_filters echoes them.
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/thomasnet/v1/search?q=cnc+machining" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/thomasnet/v1/search",
params={"q": "cnc machining"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/thomasnet/v1/search");
url.searchParams.set("q", "cnc machining");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
