What does TradeIndia Supplier & Product Scraper do?

TradeIndia Supplier & Product Scraper extracts public listing data from TradeIndia search pages.

It supports:

• 🔎 Keyword searches such as steel pipe, plastic granules, or industrial valves
• 🔗 Direct TradeIndia search result URLs
• 🏷️ Sponsored listings when visible on the page
• 📦 Organic product/supplier cards
• 🧾 Product specifications and trade information from listing data
• 📍 Supplier location and business type fields
• 🧹 Duplicate removal across pages and keywords

The actor is HTTP-first and reads the server-rendered TradeIndia page data. No login is required for the supported listing fields.

Who is it for?

This actor is useful for teams that need repeatable supplier intelligence from TradeIndia.

Typical users include:

• 🛒 Procurement teams building supplier shortlists

How much does it cost to scrape TradeIndia supplier leads?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small start fee for each run and a per-item charge for each saved product/supplier record.

The default input is intentionally small so first runs stay cheap. Increase maxItems when you are ready to collect larger supplier lists.

Final Store pricing is shown on the Apify actor page before you start a run.

Data quality notes

TradeIndia listing fields vary by supplier and product.

Some records may not include every optional field.

For example, a supplier may expose product specifications but not a public catalog website, or a listing may show MOQ without a normalized currency field.

The actor keeps raw text fields when normalization is not reliable.

Limitations

This actor focuses on public unauthenticated listing data.

It does not promise private contact details that require login or inquiry forms.

Phone and email fields may not be available in public search listings.

The actor does not place inquiries, send messages, or interact with TradeIndia accounts.

Legality

This actor extracts publicly available information from TradeIndia pages.

You are responsible for using the data in accordance with applicable laws, TradeIndia terms, privacy rules, and your own compliance requirements.

Do not use scraped data for spam, unlawful outreach, or activities that violate platform terms.

FAQ

Why did I get fewer items than requested?

The search may have fewer public listings than maxItems, or duplicate products may be removed across sponsored, organic, and showcase sections.

Try broader keywords or enable showcase listings.

Why are email or phone fields missing?

TradeIndia often protects direct contact details behind account flows or inquiry actions. This actor targets public listing data and does not bypass login or private contact gates.

Why are some fields empty?

TradeIndia suppliers do not all publish the same metadata. Optional fields such as supplier website, state, trade information, or specifications may be absent on some listings.
