What does Made in China Product Scraper do?

Made in China Product Scraper collects product cards from public Made-in-China.com search result pages. Give it one or more product keywords, or a search result URL, and it returns structured product and supplier information. Each row represents one product listing found on a search page. A stable product identifier lets you combine runs and remove repeats from later analysis.

The Actor searches the site's hot product result pages. It reads the title, product link, displayed price, minimum order quantity, supplier link, badges, location, business type, rating when shown, and the main image link. It can parse numeric price bounds and minimum order values from the displayed text. The original price and minimum order text remain in the output so you can check those parsed values.

This Made-in-China scraper is useful when you need a repeatable export from a product search. For example, you can compare suppliers for a product category, create a research list with public supplier links, or watch how the visible result set changes over time. It is a search result collector, so details that appear only on a separate product page are outside the output. Search result order can change, and ads can repeat a listing; the Actor keeps each product ID once per run.

No login is needed. The Actor reads public pages and does not submit inquiries or contact suppliers. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Made-in-China.com. Product and supplier information comes from the site's current search cards, so treat it as a starting point for research and verify any purchasing decision with the supplier.

What data can you get?

The dataset has one row per unique product ID. Fields can be null when a search card does not show that value. The sourceUrl field identifies the search result page used to create the row. The productUrl and supplierUrl fields are links shown on that page; collecting a row does not mean those linked pages were opened.

Field	Meaning
id	Stable identifier for the product, equal to productId.
productId	Identifier found in the product link.
title	Product title as displayed in the search card.
productUrl	Public product page linked by the title.
price	Original displayed price text.
priceMin	First numeric amount parsed from the displayed price.
priceMax	Second numeric amount, or the sole amount if only one appears.
currency	USD when the displayed price begins with the US$ marker; otherwise null.
moq	Displayed minimum order quantity text.
moqValue	Numeric quantity parsed from moq, such as 100 from 100 Pieces.
supplier	Name of the supplier shown on the card.
supplierUrl	Public supplier page linked by the card.
membership	Visible supplier membership label, when present.
auditedSupplier	Whether the card shows an audited supplier badge.
businessType	Business type displayed for the supplier, when present.
location	Supplier location displayed on the card.
rating	Numeric rating when a rating appears on the card.
imageUrl	Main image URL from the product card.
imageUrls	All gallery image links shown on the card (array).
moqUnit	Unit of the minimum order, such as Pieces or Meters.
sampleAvailable	Whether the card's listing data flags sample orders.
rushOrderAvailable	Whether the card's listing data flags rush orders.
rank	Position of the row among accepted cards for its search target, from 1.
sourceUrl	Search result page where the row was found.

The source site can omit a field from some cards. A missing rating does not imply a low rating; it means no rating was read from that card. Similarly, auditedSupplier reflects the badge in the result card, while membership and business type are text shown in the card. Numeric fields are simple parsing of visible text, not a currency conversion or a quote from the supplier.

The Actor deduplicates rows by product ID across search terms and pages. The run stops at maxItems, the page limit, or a page with no product cards.

How to use

Open the Actor input form and enter a keyword in Search terms. A common first run is LED light with the prefilled result limit. Run the Actor, then open the dataset to inspect or download the rows. Each result includes its product and supplier links, so you can move from a row to the relevant public page if you need to verify the details.

To search several topics in one run, enter multiple terms in the list. The Actor processes them in order and combines unique products until maxItems is reached. If you set maxItems smaller than the number of products on the first page, the dataset contains only that requested number. If you want to collect a specific public search page, put its URL in startUrls. You can use URLs and keywords together; URL searches run first.

The search pages are paginated. Page one uses the keyword path, and later pages use a numeric suffix in the same path. maxPagesPerQuery controls how many pages the Actor may fetch for each keyword or start URL. A page without product cards ends that target. The Actor makes requests sequentially with at least one second between search page requests and backs off when the site blocks or rate limits a request.

The default proxy setting uses Apify Proxy. A blocked datacenter request can be retried through a fresh residential session when that option is available in your account. If the site remains unavailable, the run reports a clear failure or finishes with the results already collected. A search that has no products finishes with an empty dataset and a warning. Avoid using unrelated URLs: startUrls accepts only public Made-in-China hot product search pages.

Input

Field	Required	Default	Use
searchTerms	Yes in the form	None for API calls	Product keywords, such as LED light; supply this or startUrls.
startUrls	No	Empty list	Public hot product search result URLs.
maxItems	No	50	Maximum number of unique product rows across the run.
maxPagesPerQuery	No	10	Maximum pages to fetch per keyword or URL.
minPrice	No	None	Keep products whose displayed price range reaches at least this US$ amount.
maxPrice	No	None	Keep products whose lowest displayed price is at most this US$ amount.
maxMoq	No	None	Keep products whose parsed MOQ number is at most this value.
auditedOnly	No	false	Keep only products from suppliers with the Audited Supplier badge.
proxyConfiguration	No	Apify Proxy	Proxy settings for public search page requests.

The Console form prepopulates a sample search, a result limit, and a page limit. maxItems accepts a whole number from 1 through 10000. maxPagesPerQuery accepts a whole number from 1 through 100. The optional filters run on each card before it counts toward maxItems, so a strict filter may need a higher page limit.

{
  "searchTerms": ["LED light", "electric bicycle"],
  "startUrls": [],
  "maxItems": 40,
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": true}
}

Each start URL must point to a Made-in-China hot product search HTML page; invalid targets are rejected before any data is collected. Empty and duplicate terms are removed.

Output

This row shows the structure of a product card from the initial source probe; values change as listings change. New rows also carry imageUrls, moqUnit, sampleAvailable, rushOrderAvailable and rank.

{
  "id": "rahpWFfYaMcu",
  "productId": "rahpWFfYaMcu",
  "title": "150W Dimmable LED UFO Warehouse High Bay Light Fixture",
  "price": "US\u002414.50-17.50",
  "priceMin": 14.5,
  "priceMax": 17.5,
  "currency": "USD",
  "moq": "100 Pieces",
  "moqValue": 100,
  "supplier": "Ningbo ALVA Electric Appliance Co., Ltd.",
  "supplierUrl": "https://alvaled.en.made-in-china.com",
  "membership": "Diamond Member",
  "auditedSupplier": true,
  "businessType": "Trading Company",
  "location": "Zhejiang, China",
  "rating": null,
  "imageUrl": "https://image.made-in-china.com/43f34j00hEqcKfQCJoVr/150W-Dimmable-LED-UFO-Warehouse-High-Bay-Light-Fixture.webp",
  "productUrl": "https://alvaled.en.made-in-china.com/product/rahpWFfYaMcu/China-150W-Dimmable-LED-UFO-Warehouse-High-Bay-Light-Fixture.html",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.made-in-china.com/products-search/hot-china-products/LED_Light.html"
}

The raw text fields help you interpret parsed numbers. For a single amount, priceMin and priceMax contain the same numeric value. For a range, they contain the first and second values respectively. moqValue removes separators from the number while moq keeps the site's original unit text. Verify current terms with the supplier before buying.

How much does it cost?

The Actor is charged per result row saved to the dataset. The input limit controls how many result rows it can return, and only rows actually pushed are charged. Check the Actor's Pricing tab for the current event rate and any account-specific information. Empty searches do not create result rows. A repeated product ID within one run is skipped and does not become another result row.

A small trial with a narrow keyword and a low maxItems value is a practical way to inspect the data shape. When you know the output suits your task, increase the result and page limits. The Actor stops collecting as soon as it reaches the result limit or the run's applicable spending limit. The price of products shown in search results is source data and has no connection to the Actor's billing.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

You can make the Actor available as a tool through Apify MCP. Configure an MCP server with this URL, using the Store path for the Actor:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=axiomworks/made-in-china-products-scraper

An agent can call the tool with searchTerms, maxItems, and maxPagesPerQuery, then read the dataset rows. Field names such as supplier, moq, priceMin, and location make it possible to ask the agent to group or compare the results. The agent should report what the dataset shows and keep source URLs available for verification.

Example prompts include: “Find up to 20 LED light listings and group their suppliers by location.” Another is: “Collect public electric bicycle products and show the minimum order quantity alongside each supplier.” You can also ask: “Compare the visible price ranges for yoga mat products and include the product URLs.” These prompts use fields present in the output, without implying that the Actor can contact suppliers, verify stock, or negotiate an order.

For repeated research, save the returned product IDs and compare them with a later run. If an agent combines this dataset with another source, make clear which claims came from these search cards and which came from elsewhere.

Integrations and API

Use the Apify API to start a run and fetch its default dataset. The examples below show the input shape and dataset access pattern. Replace the token placeholder with your own Apify API token in your client environment. Keep tokens out of shared scripts and source control.

Python example:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("axiomworks/made-in-china-products-scraper").call(
    run_input={"searchTerms": ["LED light"], "maxItems": 20}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["productId"], item["supplier"], item["moq"])

JavaScript example:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('axiomworks/made-in-china-products-scraper').call({
  searchTerms: ['LED light'], maxItems: 20,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const item of items) {
  process.stdout.write(`${item.productId} ${item.supplier} ${item.moq}\n`);
}

cURL example:

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/axiomworks~made-in-china-products-scraper/runs' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"searchTerms":["LED light"],"maxItems":20}'

After the run finishes, use the run's default dataset ID to retrieve items. A dataset can be exported in formats supported by Apify. If you use the Actor in a scheduled workflow, keep the input limits and downstream storage capacity in mind. A row's sourceUrl is the page where the card was collected; use it when auditing a change or investigating a missing value.

FAQ

Can I search more than one keyword? Yes. Put several strings in searchTerms. The Actor processes them sequentially and stops at the overall maxItems limit. Duplicates are removed by product ID, even when terms overlap.

Can I start from a search URL? Yes. Use startUrls with a public Made-in-China hot product search result page. The URL is validated before a request is made. You can combine URLs with search terms in one run.

Why are some fields null? Search cards do not always show every value. Rating and business type may be absent, and some cards may show a price or minimum order quantity differently. Null means the value was not extracted from that card.

What if a search has no results? The Actor finishes with an empty dataset and a warning when the page is reachable but has no product cards. An unreachable or blocked page produces a clear error if no results were collected.

Does it fetch every product page? No. It extracts the public search cards, including links to product and supplier pages. Those URLs are output fields; they are not extra pages fetched by this Actor.

How does pagination work? The Actor follows numbered search page paths for each target. It stops at maxPagesPerQuery, maxItems, or the first page without product cards. Site changes may affect which results appear on a page.

What does the audited flag mean? It records whether an audited supplier badge appears on the result card. It is a visible badge indicator, not an independent audit performed by this Actor.

Is it legal to scrape Made-in-China?

This Actor reads publicly accessible search result pages without a login. The legality of a particular use depends on your location, the data involved, and what you do with it. Review applicable law and the site's current terms before using the output at scale. Respect privacy and intellectual property rights when storing, sharing, or republishing data. This Actor is independent of Made-in-China.com and does not claim site endorsement.

The Actor uses modest sequential request rates and backs off from blocks. It does not solve CAPTCHAs, enter private areas, or submit inquiries. If access is blocked, try again later or reduce the scope of your run. Keep source URLs with any derived analysis so another person can verify the public listing that produced a row.

Feedback

If a field stops appearing or a search returns unexpected results, report the keyword or public search URL, the run ID, and which fields were missing. Search page HTML can change, and a concrete example helps reproduce a selector problem. Do not include account credentials, API tokens, or private supplier messages in feedback.
