TradeKorea Scraper & API - Korean Suppliers, FOB Prices & MOQ

TradeKorea scraper for importers, distributors, sourcing agents and B2B lead-gen teams: enter an English product keyword such as ramen, cosmetics, led light or car parts and get Korean export products and the companies behind them from tradeKorea.com, the B2B marketplace run by the Korea International Trade Association (KITA). Each row is one product with its FOB price, MOQ, HS code, specs, payment terms and lead time, plus the Korean exporter's profile: business type, year established, employees, address, membership grade, export markets and main products. Use it as a Korean supplier database, a K-beauty / K-food sourcing list, or an unofficial tradeKorea API from your own code, Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent.

It reads public pages over plain HTTP, with no browser and no login. $1.50 per 1,000 results, product pages and supplier profiles included, no start fee: the lowest of the 3 tradeKorea actors we found (7 Nov 2026). The default run (10 products) costs $0.015 in results.

What you get

• Product: name, product URL, images, summary, description, brand, keywords, tradeKorea categories and category path, HS code, size, weight, stock, country of origin, OEM / ODM / OBM options, other specs (ingredients, material, certification, ...).
• Trade terms: FOB price as text and as numbers (priceMin / priceMax, currency, priceUnit), MOQ as a number with its unit, negotiable flags, payment terms (L/C, T/T, ...), transport modes, lead time and shipping time.
• Supplier (Korean exporter): company name, supplier ID and profile URL, logo, business type (Manufacturer, Trading Company, Distributor, ...), year established, membership grade (Biz / Pro / VIP), years as a tradeKorea member, verification marks (e.g. TRADE DEAL), main export markets.
• Company profile (read once per supplier): address, employee range, product categories, main products, company introduction. Person names (company presidents) are not collected.

FAQ

Why is the price empty on some rows? Many Korean exporters list the FOB price as "Negotiable". Those rows keep priceText: null and priceNegotiable: true; turn on onlyWithPrice to skip them.

Does it return phone numbers or e-mails? No. tradeKorea routes buyer contact through its inquiry form and does not publish supplier contacts on public pages. You get the supplier profile URL, address and company details instead.

Is there an official tradeKorea API? We found no public self-serve API for tradeKorea product and supplier search; buyers contact exporters through its inquiry form. This actor reads the same public pages and is not affiliated with KITA.

What does a typical run cost? A 200-exporter K-food lead list (uniqueSuppliers: true, maxResultsPerSearch: 200) costs $0.30. A weekly check of 5 keywords x 100 products is about $3.25 a month.

Can I search in Korean? No. tradeKorea's English site only accepts English keywords; other input is reported in the run summary and skipped.

Why can a run take a few minutes? tradeKorea drops connections from IPs that send many requests. The actor keeps concurrency moderate and moves to a fresh proxy IP when a connection hangs. In cloud tests on 29 Oct 2026, 30- and 50-product runs took 58 to 318 seconds with 0 failed requests, depending on how throttled the proxy IPs were. The default 10-product input took 18.2 seconds on 31 Oct 2026 and stops collecting after 40 seconds.

Is it legal? It collects only public business information (products and company profiles) shown to any visitor without a login. Check that your use complies with tradeKorea's terms and the laws that apply to you.
