FAQ
Do I need an Alibaba account?
No. Buying requests are collected without an account.
Can I filter by buyer country?
Yes. Enter two-letter codes such as US, GB, DE or AU.
How do I get only new requests every day?
Set posted within days and a monitoring store name, then schedule the run; later runs return only requests not delivered before.
