🛠 Alibaba RFQ Scraper (Stealth Mode)

This script scrapes RFQ (Request for Quotation) data from Alibaba using Selenium with stealth mode enabled to bypass bot detection.

🚀 Features

• Extracts buyer name, country, quantity, inquiry time, and more
• Uses selenium-stealth to avoid being blocked
• Scrapes up to 50 pages safely
• Outputs data to a clean CSV (alibaba_rfq_stealth.csv) ready for Excel

🔐 Why Stealth?

Alibaba has strict bot protection. Regular Selenium requests were getting blocked after a few pages. We added stealth automation to mimic human behavior and ensure uninterrupted data collection.

⚠️ Why Only 50 Pages?

Scraping too many pages can raise red flags and get the IP blacklisted. 50 pages offer a solid data sample without crossing risk thresholds.

📦 Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Selenium
• webdriver-manager
• selenium-stealth
• pandas

pip install selenium webdriver-manager selenium-stealth pandas

▶️ Run

python rfq_scraper.py

The data will be saved as alibaba_rfq_stealth.csv.
