## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## ExportersIndia Scraper - Suppliers, GST, Prices & MOQ

| Europages (Europe) | WLW (DACH) | ExportersIndia (India) |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| [Europages Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/europages-scraper) | [WLW Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/wlw-scraper) | **ExportersIndia Scraper** ◄── you are here |

**ExportersIndia Scraper** for Apify — scrape **ExportersIndia suppliers and products** into clean JSON without a public ExportersIndia API. Extract **company name, GST number, price, MOQ, product specs, GST Trusted / V-Trust badges, ratings, city / state, website, and profile links** from keywords, category pages, city listings, product detail pages, and company profiles.

Built for **India sourcing**, **exporter discovery**, **B2B lead generation**, **price / MOQ research**, and **CRM enrichment**. Run with **Python**, **Node.js**, **cURL**, or **MCP** / AI assistants. Fast HTTP crawl of public SSR HTML via `curl_cffi` — no headless browser and no login for public fields.

### When to use this Actor

- You need **ExportersIndia supplier or product data** as structured dataset rows
- You want **keyword search**, **category / city URLs**, **product PDPs**, or **company profiles**
- You prefer a **fast, browser-free** ExportersIndia crawl on Apify
- You need **GST / Trusted badges / firmographics** via optional enrichment
- You want an **India ↔ Europe sourcing chain** with Europages / WLW siblings

### When not to use this Actor

- **Guaranteed mobile or email on every row** — ExportersIndia hides numbers behind **View Mobile** (login + verify); this Actor exports public firmographics and website when available
- **Sending RFQs / inquiries** through ExportersIndia forms — read-only extraction only
- **Non-ExportersIndia directories** — use a source-specific Actor (e.g. Europages, WLW)

### Key features

- **Keyword → category** — maps queries to `/indian-suppliers/{slug}.htm` (~85 products/page)
- **City listings** — `/{city}/{slug}.htm` when `cities` is set
- **AJAX pagination** — `ajax_load_classified` for deep pages
- **PDP enrichment** — GST number, specs, images
- **Optional company profiles** — year established, employees, turnover, website, business type
- **Filters** — GST Trusted, Trusted, min rating, manufacturers / exporters (on company enrich)
- **Deduped push** — unique by product / profile id within a run
- **Streaming results** — dataset rows appear while the run is in progress
- **Lightweight & resilient** — `curl_cffi` Chrome TLS fingerprinting, optional proxy rotation

### Use cases

| Use case | What you get |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Find Indian exporters** | Keyword / category listings with Trusted & GST signals |
| **Qualify suppliers** | GSTIN, address, turnover, employees (with enrich) |

### FAQ

**Do I get phone numbers?**\
Not from the public HTML. ExportersIndia gates mobiles behind View Mobile (login). Rows set `phoneMasked: true`. Website and GST are the practical contact / qualify fields.

**How many results per page?**\
About **85** product cards on page 1; deeper pages load via AJAX (`ajax_load_classified`).

**Can I filter by city?**\
Yes — set `cities` (e.g. `["Mumbai"]`) to crawl `/{city}/{slug}.htm`.
