Sourcing Data Studio
Data APIs for importers and sellers who buy from China and sell in the Gulf and beyond. Each API runs on the Apify Store, returns clean rows, and charges only for results that are delivered.

Every API is unofficial: none is affiliated with or endorsed by the organisation whose data it reads.
How the APIs work
- Pay per result: failed requests, duplicates and incomplete rows are never charged.
- Use them from Apify Console, the Apify API, n8n, Make or AI agents through the Apify MCP server.
- Public data only: no logins, no accounts, no personal data. Contact persons, phone numbers and email addresses are removed.
- Results from open-data sources carry the source name and the retrieval date, and the licence line the source asks for.

For website and data owners
Our software says what it is. Requests to data services carry a user agent that starts with SourcingDataStudio/, followed by the name of the API and the address of this page. Where a page needs a browser, we use an unmodified headless Chromium browser, which announces itself as HeadlessChrome.
We read public pages and official open-data endpoints at a low rate. We do not log in, do not use other people’s accounts or keys, and do not solve or bypass CAPTCHA or verification pages. When a site refuses a request, we stop: a refused or blocked page is not asked for again in the same run, and never from another address.
To report a problem, or to ask us to stop reading your site, open an issue at github.com/zulfiaibh-bot/sourcing-data-studio-docs/issues. Requests to stop are honoured.
