TradeIndia Product Search Scraper: Extract Supplier & Catalog Data at Scale

---

What Is TradeIndia.com?

TradeIndia.com is Asia's largest B2B marketplace, connecting suppliers, manufacturers, and traders with global buyers. It hosts millions of product listings across categories from textiles and electronics to machinery and raw materials. Whether you're a sourcing agent, researcher, or business analyst, manually collecting product and supplier data from TradeIndia is impractical. The TradeIndia Product Search Scraper automates this process, extracting detailed product and seller information in structured format.

Input Format

The Actor supports two scraping modes — use only one at a time:

1. Scrape by URLs — scrape data directly from a list of TradeIndia search, manufacturer, or seller pages.

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.tradeindia.com/search.html?keyword=shoe",
    "https://www.tradeindia.com/manufacturers/face-mask.html",
    "https://www.tradeindia.com/seller/apparel-fashion/t-shirts/"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

2. Scrape by search filters — scrape data using a keyword instead of providing URLs.

{
  "keyword": "shoe",
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

There is also a General settings group that applies to both modes.

1. Scrape by URLs

Use this mode when you already have specific product search, category, or seller listing pages. When this mode is used, all options in the "Scrape by search filters" section will be disabled.

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array	(required)	Product search pages, category pages, or seller listings to scrape. You can paste URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	If true, the scraper continues running when a URL fails instead of stopping the entire run. Recommended for bulk jobs.

URL types supported:

• Search results: https://www.tradeindia.com/search.html?keyword=...
• Manufacturer listings: https://www.tradeindia.com/manufacturers/...
• Seller catalogs: https://www.tradeindia.com/seller/category/...

2. Scrape by search filters

Use this mode when you want to search using a keyword instead of scraping by URLs. If you use this mode, leave the urls field above empty.

Field	Type	Default	Description
keyword	string	—	The keyword to search for.

3. General settings

Applies to both scraping modes above.

Field	Type	Default	Description
max_items_per_url	integer	20 (max 200)	The maximum number of products to collect per URL/search. Use 200 for comprehensive data collection; set lower values for testing runs.

Tip: Set max_items_per_url: 200 for comprehensive data collection; use lower values for quick testing runs.
