What it does

The actor searches TradeIndia's buyer requirements (buy leads) for each product keyword you pass, paginates through the matching leads, and writes one normalized record per requirement to the run's dataset. Each record carries the requirement title and description, the quantity and delivery place when stated, and the buyer's contact block: name, company, phone, email, city, state, country and the date the requirement was posted.

TradeIndia auto-generates placeholder company names for some accounts; those are normalized to null rather than returned as a fake company. Missing source values are returned as null; nothing is invented. An optional paid contact-enrichment add-on can attempt to find a public business email and contact person for buyers who ship without an email.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 10 buyer requirements for cotton and rice.

{
  "searchQueries": ["cotton", "rice"],
  "maxRequirements": 10
}

At least one searchQueries entry is required. Add countries (ISO codes) to restrict buyers by country. Leave the enrichment add-on off for the fastest, cheapest run.

Input reference

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	yes	["cotton","rice"]	Product keywords to find buyer requirements for, for example cotton, rice, led lights. One run searches every keyword.
countries	string[]	no	(all)	Restrict buyers by 2-letter ISO country code, for example in, us, ae. Empty includes buyers from all countries.
maxRequirements	integer	no	10	Maximum buyer requirements to collect across all queries. Free plans are capped at 10.
enrichContacts	boolean	no	false	Paid add-on. For each buyer without an email, attempt to find a public business email and contact person. Billed per attempt plus an extra charge only when an email is found.
enrichContactsMax	integer	no	50	Cap how many results the add-on tries to enrich. Free accounts are capped at 3.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~tradeindia-buyers-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["cotton"],"countries":["in"],"maxRequirements":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~tradeindia-buyers-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["led lights","rice"],"maxRequirements":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/tradeindia-buyers-scraper \
  --input '{"searchQueries":["cotton"],"maxRequirements":10}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per buyer requirement returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Contact enrichment add-on. When enrichContacts is on, each attempt is billed, with an extra charge only when an email is found. The add-on never charges when it finds nothing.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 requirements per run (and 3 enrichment attempts). Upgrade for higher limits.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The keyword matched no active buyer requirements, or the countries filter excluded everything. Try a broader product keyword or remove the country filter. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Do I get the buyer's phone and email? Yes, when TradeIndia exposes them on the lead. Phone is present on most rows; email is present on many. Use the enrichment add-on to fill missing emails.

Why is buyerCompany null? The account uses an auto-generated placeholder company name rather than a real one. The actor returns null instead of the placeholder.

Can I search multiple products at once? Yes. Pass several keywords in searchQueries; the run collects requirements across all of them up to maxRequirements.

Is this an official TradeIndia tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with TradeIndia. It reads only data that is publicly visible on buyer requirement pages. All trademarks belong to their owners.
