## 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.

## TradeIndia Scraper — Suppliers, GST, Products & MOQ

> **Disclaimer:** Unofficial integration for publicly accessible sources. Trademarks belong to their respective owners. Provided for informational use only; users must comply with applicable platform terms and laws.

> **Crawloop Global Sourcing Suite** — B2B supplier directories for Europe and India.

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

**TradeIndia scraper** for Apify — a practical **TradeIndia API alternative** to extract **Indian B2B suppliers and products** from search, category, product, and seller pages into clean JSON. Collect **company name, GST number, owner, address, price, MOQ, specifications, manufacturer / exporter flags, Trust Stamp badges, website, and profile links**.

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

### When to use this Actor

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

### When not to use this Actor

- **Guaranteed phone or email on every row** — TradeIndia masks phone behind inquiry/login (`number_mask`); this Actor exports public firmographics and website when available
- **Sending RFQs / inquiries** through TradeIndia forms — read-only extraction only
- **Non-TradeIndia directories** — use a source-specific Actor (e.g. Europages, WLW)

### Key features

- **Keyword search** — paginated TradeIndia search (`~28` items/page)
- **Category & start URLs** — `/seller/…` categories, product pages, seller profiles
- **PDP enrichment** — GST, owner, address, company description, richer specs
- **Optional seller profiles** — firmographics + top products
- **Business-type filters** — manufacturers, exporters, Trust Stamp only
- **City filter** — client-side city matching after scrape
- **Sponsored / showcase toggles** — include or skip paid cards
- **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 manufacturers** | Keyword / category listings with manufacturer & exporter flags |
| **Qualify suppliers** | GST, owner name, address, turnover, employees (with PDP enrich) |
| **Price & MOQ research** | Listed price text, currency, minimum order quantity, specs |
| **Territory mapping** | City / state filters across India |
| **Trust ranking** | Trust Stamp, Super Seller, Premium Seller badges |
| **CRM enrichment** | Profile URL + website for follow-up enrichment |

### MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via [Apify MCP](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp).
Connect your Apify account, then call this Actor by its Store ID / name (`crawloop/tradeindia-scraper`).

Example prompts:

- "Run TradeIndia Scraper for industrial valves, manufacturers only, return 50 rows with company, city, MOQ, and GST"
- "Scrape TradeIndia cotton yarn suppliers in Ahmedabad with product enrichment and summarize top cities"
- "Chain TradeIndia Scraper then Europages Scraper to compare Indian vs European pump manufacturers"

### Suite next step

After TradeIndia supplier discovery, enrich European counterparts with [Europages Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/europages-scraper) or DACH companies with [WLW Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/wlw-scraper).

### FAQ

#### Is this a TradeIndia API?

There is no official public TradeIndia API for bulk supplier export. This Actor is a **TradeIndia API alternative** that scrapes public pages into a structured Apify dataset you can call from Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP.

#### Why are phone and email missing?

TradeIndia often protects direct phone numbers behind login / inquiry flows (`number_mask`). This Actor exports **public** listing and profile fields (including website when available). It does not bypass login gates.

#### Why is price empty?

Many sellers publish MOQ and specs without a list price. Use `minOrderQuantity` and `specifications` to qualify suppliers.

#### Do category URLs paginate fully?

The first category page is read from SSR. Deeper category pagination is unreliable over plain HTTP, so the Actor continues via keyword search derived from the category slug when `maxPages > 1`.

#### Can I filter to manufacturers only?

Yes — set `onlyManufacturers`, `onlyExporters`, and/or `onlyTrustStamp`.
