💡 Best Practices for Supplier Data Extraction

🧪 Start small — Test with 1 query and 1-2 pages to verify data quality

🎯 Use specific keywords — "phone case manufacturer" works better than "electronics"

⭐ Look for Gold Years — 5+ years indicates established suppliers

✅ Check verification — Assessed/Verified Pro badges indicate factory audits

⚡ Response rate matters — ≤3h response shows active communication

📊 Compare metrics — Factory size, revenue, and employee count indicate capacity

---

📤 Export Formats

Your B2B supplier database is available in multiple formats:

• 🗃️ JSON — Complete structured data for API integration
• 📊 CSV — Spreadsheet compatible for Excel or Google Sheets analysis
• 📑 Excel — Pre-formatted tables for vendor comparison
• 🌐 HTML — Quick browser preview

---

⚠️ Limitations

• 📄 Maximum 50 pages per query (Alibaba pagination limit)
• 🔄 Some suppliers may appear across multiple search terms
• ℹ️ Assessment and verification data requires supplier participation
• 📊 Factory size, revenue, and employee data are self-reported by suppliers

---

🌍 Expand Your Sourcing to Other Marketplaces

Diversify your supplier base across multiple B2B platforms to reduce risk and find better deals:

Platform	Purpose	Link
Alibaba Product Scraper	Find profitable products with low MOQ on Alibaba	View Actor
