Alibaba Product Scraper

Paste Alibaba product links and get back the whole commercial picture of each listing: every quantity break the supplier publishes, in US dollars, with the minimum order quantity, order unit, lead times, variants, certificates, customisation options, images and the full supplier record behind the listing. Built for sourcing managers, importers, private-label brands and market analysts who need wholesale terms in a spreadsheet instead of in forty browser tabs.

Prices come back in US dollars for every product, whichever country you choose, so two suppliers on two continents can be compared in one column. The listing's own local price is kept alongside it, and only ever with the currency it was published in attached — an amount is never shown without its unit.

---

What you can do with it

• Compare quotes properly. Put ten suppliers' quantity ladders side by side in one sheet and see where the price actually breaks — at 2 units, at 200, at 1,000 — instead of reading each listing by hand.
• Build a sourcing shortlist. Every result carries the manufacturer behind it: company name, country, years selling, business type, inspected staff count, factory floorspace, on-time delivery record and half-year trading volume — as the exact figure, not the rounded band the page displays.
• Track wholesale price movements. Schedule the same list of products daily or weekly and keep a history of tier prices, minimum order quantities and lead times.
• Check compliance before you order. Certificates come back with their number, type, ownership and validity string, so a CE or ISO claim can be verified against the certificate itself.
• Feed a product catalogue. Titles, category trail, specification table, variant options, gallery images and the supplier's own write-up are ready to import.
• Qualify manufacturers as leads. Each result is effectively a B2B lead record: who makes the product, where, at what price, at what minimum quantity and how quickly they ship.

Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
productUrls	list of text	one example product	Alibaba product page addresses, or bare product numbers, one per line. Anything that is not a product is skipped and reported back to you.
country	select	us	Which country's version of the site to read. Prices also always come back in US dollars, so results stay comparable whichever country you pick.
includeDescription	boolean	false	Attach the supplier's own product write-up, with its illustrations, to every result. Charged as full product details on top of the base result.
includeSimilarProducts	boolean	false	Attach a short list of comparable products the site shows next to each item — useful for benchmarking a quote.
maxSimilarProducts	integer	12 (max 100)	How many comparable products to attach to each result.
maxProducts	integer	50 (max 300)	Safety cap on how many products one run reads. Anything past the cap is reported as not attempted rather than dropped in silence.
gapBetweenProductsSeconds	integer	5 (min 5, max 120)	Minimum pause between one product and the next. Alibaba serves these detailed wholesale pages slowly, so this cannot be set lower than five seconds. Raise it for very large lists.
productsAtOnce	integer	1 (max 2)	How many products may be in progress at the same time. One is recommended and is the default.

Output fields

Field	Description
productId, productUrl, title	The product and its stable link.
categoryPath, categoryLeaf, categoryId	Full category trail and the leaf category.
currency, minPriceUsd, maxPriceUsd	Cheapest and dearest published unit price, in US dollars.
priceTiers[]	One entry per quantity break: minQuantity, maxQuantity, quantityLabel, unitPriceUsd, unitPriceLocal, localCurrency. An open-ended top tier has maxQuantity: null.
priceHidden, priceHiddenReason	True when the supplier publishes no price and invites buyers to ask for a quote, so a hidden price can never be mistaken for a failed read.
localCurrency, localPriceRange	The supplier's price in the currency the listing was published in, always stamped with that currency. Blank when the listing gives no currency, so an amount is never shown without its unit.
minOrderQuantity, orderUnit, orderUnitPlural, orderIncrement	Minimum order and the unit it is counted in.
leadTimes[]	Processing days per quantity band, exactly as the supplier publishes them.
tradeTerm, dispatchCountry, dispatchPlaces[]	Trade term and where goods ship from.
unitWeightRaw, unitVolumeRaw, unitSizeRaw	Shipping measurements as the supplier typed them. Blank when not published.
packagingDetails	Packaging data when the supplier publishes it, otherwise blank.
variantOptions[], variantCombinations[]	Every option dimension, its values, and each buildable combination with published stock.
attributes[]	The specification table, name and value.
certifications[]	Certificate name, number, type, ownership, validity string and image.

storeReviewCount, storeRating, supplierRating, reviewedOrderCount	The supplier store's rating and review counts — labelled as the store's, because they are the store's.
productReviewsPublished	Always false: this product's own reviews are not published for public reading.
supplierCategoryRanking	The supplier's popularity rank within the category, when the site shows one. It ranks companies, not individual products, and is named accordingly.
afterSaleService	After-sale promise, name and details.
orderableOnline, tradeAssurance	Whether the item can be ordered on the spot and whether it is covered by the site's assurance programme.
searchKeywords[]	Keywords the listing itself is targeting.

similarProducts[]	Comparable products with title, price band, minimum order and link. Only when you turn it on.
countryRequested, priceCountry	The country you chose, and the country the listing was actually served for. When the two differ, dataNotes says so on that row.
dataNotes[]	Plain-English notes about anything unusual in this result.
scrapedAt	Collection timestamp.

A run summary is written to the run's OUTPUT record: how many products were scraped, how many were unavailable, how many failed, how many were never attempted, and whether the run stopped early.

Pricing

Pay per event.

You are charged	When	Price
Product scraped	For each product result added to the dataset	$0.0015 each ($1.50 per 1,000)
Full product details	Only when you turn on the supplier's full write-up, and only when the supplier actually publishes one	$0.0008 each ($0.80 per 1,000)

Worked example: 200 products with the supplier write-up switched on costs 200 × $0.0015 + 200 × $0.0008 = $0.46. The same 200 products without the write-up costs $0.30. Products that turn out to be removed, and products the run never got to, are never charged.

Limits & what this actor cannot do

• This actor is deliberately slow. Alibaba serves these detailed wholesale pages grudgingly and stops answering when they are asked for too quickly, so products are read one at a time with a minimum five-second pause between them. A list of 100 products takes at least ten minutes, and a very large list is better split across scheduled runs.
• If the site stops answering, the run stops with it. Everything collected up to that point is saved, and the products that were never tried are reported as not attempted — never as failures. Re-run them later, or raise the pause.
• Reviews of the product itself are not published for public reading. What the site publishes is the supplier store's rating and its review counts, and that is what you get, labelled as the store's. No product review text is available, and productReviewsPublished says so on every result.
• There is no buyer question-and-answer section on this kind of page, so none is returned.
• Some fields simply do not exist as data, however prominently the page seems to show them: supply ability, payment terms, port of loading and — for most suppliers — packaging details are platform boilerplate rather than this supplier's own terms. They come back blank instead of being invented from the wording on the page.
• Not every supplier publishes every credential. Floorspace, inspected staff count, certificates, customisation options and after-sale terms appear only for the suppliers who publish them; for everyone else they come back blank rather than guessed at.
• Prices are the supplier's published asking price. The price actually agreed in a negotiated order is not published anywhere and is not returned.
• Some suppliers publish no price at all and ask buyers to enquire. Those come back flagged, not as a zero price.
• Lead times are published as their own quantity bands and those bands do not line up with the price bands. They are returned as their own table and are never merged into the price table.
• Stock is only reported when the supplier publishes a real number. Most suppliers run open-ended inventory, which comes back blank rather than as a fabricated nine-million-unit stock level.
• Prices, availability, rankings and supplier statistics are a snapshot taken at the moment of collection and keep moving afterwards.
• Products that were removed or are restricted are reported as unavailable rather than returned as an empty result.
• Prices and availability differ by country; the US dollar figure is provided so results stay comparable whichever country you select. The supplier's local price is the one the source site published for the country it served, and that is not always the country you picked — when it differs, the row says so in plain English and the US dollar figures are unaffected.
• Turning on the supplier's write-up also changes the local price column. That version of the listing is published in US dollars, so on those results the local price and the US dollar price are the same figure. The dollar column is the same either way.
• The category ranking belongs to the supplier, not to the product. The source site publishes a "most popular in this category" position for the company behind the listing; it is returned under a name that says so, and there is no per-product popularity rank to return.
• Speed depends on the size of the job and on the source site's own responsiveness. No fixed number of products per minute is promised.
• The source site's terms govern automated access. You are responsible for using the data lawfully and in line with those terms, and for handling any personal data in line with applicable privacy law.

FAQ

Do I need an account on the source site? No. Nothing is logged into and nothing is signed up for.

Does it need my login or password? No. There is nothing to connect and nothing to authorise — paste product links and run it.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Point it at a fixed list of products and schedule it daily or weekly on apify.com to build a price history. Because each product is read slowly, plan roughly a minute per twelve products when you set the schedule.

Are the prices in my own currency? Every result carries the price in US dollars, and additionally in the currency the listing itself was published in, stamped with that currency code. The dollar column is the one to compare on — it is the same figure whichever country you choose, so comparing suppliers is always apples to apples.

Why is a price sometimes missing? Because the supplier chose not to publish one and wants buyers to enquire first. Those results are flagged so you can tell them apart from anything that went wrong.

Is the data complete? It is everything the product page publishes, and nothing beyond it. Product-level reviews, buyer questions, negotiated prices, supply ability and payment terms are not published on these pages, so they are not returned. Everything the supplier does publish — tier prices, minimum order, lead times, specifications, certificates, variants and company record — is.
