HKTDC Sourcing Scraper: Products & Suppliers

Extract products and suppliers from HKTDC Sourcing (sourcing.hktdc.com), the Hong Kong Trade Development Council's B2B marketplace. Get prices, minimum order quantities, specifications, certifications and supplier verification levels as clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

The Actor calls HKTDC's public API directly over HTTP. No browser, no login, no cookies.

Why use this HKTDC scraper?

• Products and suppliers in one Actor. Choose products, suppliers or both in a single run, from one input.
• Optional deep product details. One extra API call per product adds all specifications, rich description, lead time and shipping origin. Same price per item either way.
• Real sourcing filters. Supplier type, country/region, factory location, product and company certification, online purchase, sort order.
• Three ways to search. Keyword, category URL or direct URL.
• Predictable cost. You pay per result, and you can set a maximum spend on the run. The Actor stops cleanly when the budget is reached.
• Lightweight. HTTP only, runs on 512 MB.

Use cases

• Sourcing and procurement: build shortlists of verified Hong Kong and mainland China manufacturers.
• Price and MOQ benchmarking across suppliers.
• Lead generation for trade, logistics and compliance services.
• Market research on product categories, certifications and OEM/ODM capacity.
• Feeding supplier data into a CRM, spreadsheet or AI agent.

How to use

1. Open the Actor and keep Search mode on Keyword search.
2. Enter a keyword, for example LED light.
3. Choose Scrape products, Scrape suppliers, or both.
4. Set Max results (start with 10).
5. Click Start and download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read it through the API.

For larger jobs enable Scrape full product details and raise Max results. HKTDC limits each search to roughly 10,000 items, so split big jobs by keyword, category or filters.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape HKTDC? The Actor reads data that HKTDC publishes openly through its public API, without logging in. You are responsible for using the data in line with HKTDC's terms and applicable law, including data protection rules for any personal data.

Does it return supplier contact details? No. Supplier detail pages require authentication and are not accessed. You get the public company profile from the discovery listing.

How many results can I get? About 10,000 items per search. Use several keywords, categories or filters to go beyond that.

How often should I run it? Weekly or monthly is enough for most sourcing and price-tracking uses. Use Apify schedules.

Can I integrate it? Yes: Apify API, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, and MCP for AI agents.

The run returned fewer items than expected. The API may return fewer results for narrow filters, or its structure may change without notice. Enable debug mode and report the issue.
