Key features

• 💵 Structured pricing: numeric priceMin and priceMax plus currency on every product, so you can sort and compare prices without parsing text. price keeps the price exactly as alibaba.com displays it (for example a range).
• 🏭 Supplier details: companyName, supplierName, supplierCountry, supplierYears, supplierResponseRate and the supplier profile links name the supplier behind each product.
• ⭐ Ratings and review counts: reviewCount and rating for every product that has them.
• 🖼️ Images: mainImage, imageUrl and images with every image URL, not just the thumbnail.
• 🧾 Specifications: attributes as structured data, not a text blob.
• 🔍 Global keyword search: search alibaba.com by keyword with query (one or several keywords) across suppliers in every country (China, Hong Kong, the US, Vietnam and more). Put a 2-letter code in location (for example CN, US, VN) to search only suppliers from that country. Each product keeps the keyword it was found under in searchQuery, and maxPagesPerQuery sets how many result pages to read per keyword.
• 🎯 Sourcing filters and currency: minPrice, maxPrice, maxMoq, minRating, minReviewCount and minSupplierYears deliver only products that meet your sourcing criteria; with currency (e.g. EUR) the price limits are read in that currency and every product also gets convertedPriceMin / convertedPriceMax.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste alibaba.com search URLs into startUrls. Each URL is turned into its keyword and supplier country; a country-search URL on page N is read from page N onward. URL filters this actor cannot apply (price, MOQ and similar) are named in the run log, never dropped silently.
• ♻️ Incremental mode: recurring runs with the same stateKey deliver only products that are new or whose price, title, supplier, MOQ, rating or review count changed since the last run. Turn on emitExpired to also receive a row for each product that disappeared.
• 🔔 Notifications: telegram / Slack / Discord / WhatsApp / webhook alerts on each run. Combine with incremental to ping only when prices or inventory actually move.
• 📦 Compact mode: light payload with core fields only — comparable rows across listings without HTML or metadata overhead. Perfect for pricing dashboards.

What data can you extract from alibaba.com?

Each result includes Core product fields (id, title, productId, productUrl, priceMin, priceMax, priceText, and currency, and more), extended fields (detailFetched), contact information (contactSupplier), and company metadata (companyId, companyName, and companyLogo). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — Product search keyword, e.g. "led lights". For several keywords write a JSON list, e.g. ["led lights", "solar panel"]; each keyword is searched separately. Required if no startUrls provided.
• location — Leave empty to search suppliers in every country (global search). Enter a 2-letter country code (e.g. CN, US, VN, IN) to search only suppliers from that country.
• maxResults — Maximum total results (0 = unlimited). (default: 100)
• maxPagesPerQuery — How many result pages (40-48 products each) to read for each keyword or start URL, 1-100. 0 = every page alibaba.com serves (up to 100). Max Results still caps the total delivered. (default: 0)
• startUrls — Paste raw search URLs from the target site. Each URL becomes its own search task; results are merged and deduped by listing ID across all URLs. When provided, startUrls REPLACE the query/location fields (each supported URL becomes one task; unsupported URLs are skipped, and if none is supported the run stops with an input error). (default: [])
• minPrice — Only products whose unit price reaches this value (in the Currency below, USD when empty). 0 = no limit.
• maxPrice — Only products whose unit price starts at or below this value (in the Currency below, USD when empty). 0 = no limit.
• currency — 3-letter currency code (e.g. EUR, GBP, CNY) for Min/Max price. Each product also gets convertedPriceMin/convertedPriceMax in this currency (ECB rates). Empty = USD, no conversion.
• maxMoq — Only products you can order in this quantity or less. 0 = no limit.
• minRating — Only products rated at least this (0-5). 0 = no limit.
• minReviewCount — Only products with at least this many buyer reviews. 0 = no limit.
• minSupplierYears — Only suppliers with at least this many years on alibaba.com. 0 = no limit.
• ...and 21 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — One keyword, suppliers in one country (location is a 2-letter supplier country code).

→ Up to 50 products from Chinese suppliers, each with numeric priceMin/priceMax, currency, MOQ and supplier details.

{
  "query": "led lights",
  "location": "CN",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Several keywords, limited depth — Read the first 3 result pages (about 120 products) for each keyword from Vietnamese suppliers.

→ Products for both keywords; searchQuery on each row tells you which keyword found it.

{
  "query": "[\"bamboo furniture\", \"cashew nuts\"]",
  "location": "VN",
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 3,
  "maxResults": 0
}

Paste a search URL — A country-search URL is read from the page it is on; filters the actor cannot apply are named in the run log.

→ Products for the URL's keyword and supplier country, starting at page 2.

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/led-lights_2.html"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit products that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only products that are new or whose price, title, supplier or MOQ changed. Add emitExpired: true to also receive a row for each product that disappeared.

{
  "query": "led lights",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "led-lights-tracker"
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured product records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape alibaba.com?

Alibaba.com Product & Supplier Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.01 per run
• Per result: $0.00063 per product record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.016
• 25 results: $0.026
• 100 results: $0.073
• 200 results: $0.14
• 500 results: $0.33

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of products that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 250 products per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of products.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.17	$0.02	$0.15 (89%)	$0.54
15% — moderate broad query	$0.17	$0.03	$0.13 (80%)	$1.01
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.17	$0.06	$0.11 (66%)	$1.72

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $5.03. First month with incremental costs $0.69 / $1.14 / $1.83 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
