## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### What is Alibaba Product Details Scraper?

Paste product URLs or product IDs — `https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/_1601617846699.html` or `1601617846699` — and get one complete row per product. A removed product gives a free error row.

### What data do you get?

`productId`, `title`, `url`, `priceText`, `priceMin`, `priceMax`, `priceTiers`, `minOrder`, `tradeTerm`, `soldCount`, `samplePrice`, `freeSample`, `leadTime`, `packageSize`, `packageWeightKg`, `categoryPath`, `keyAttributes`, `attributes`, `variants`, `customization`, `images`, `videoUrl`, `certifications`, `storeRating`, `storeReviewCount`, `supplierName`, `supplierType`, `supplierYears`, `supplierEmployees`, `goldSupplier`, `verifiedSupplier`, `supplierResponseTime`, `supplierOnTimeDelivery`, `supplierTradeAssuranceUsd`, `supplierContactName`, `supplierContactTitle`, `supplierUrl`.

### How much does it cost?

| Row | Price |
|---|---|
| **Product** (search result) | $0.001 — $1 per 1,000 |
| **Product page** (full details) | $0.003 — $3 per 1,000 |
| **Supplier** | $0.001 — $1 per 1,000 |
| **Buying request (RFQ)** | $0.002 — $2 per 1,000 |

No start fee and no proxy charge. Error rows and rows removed by your filters are never billed. **Maximum rows per run** is a hard ceiling on the bill.

### ❓ FAQ

#### Is it legal to scrape Alibaba?

It reads only what alibaba.com shows any visitor without an account: public listings, supplier profiles and public buying requests. Names of contact people and buyers are personal data under laws like the GDPR — have a lawful reason to process them.

#### Do I need an Alibaba account, cookies or a proxy?

No. The Actor needs no login and no proxy settings; if Alibaba shows a slider check, the request is retried on a fresh connection by itself.

#### Why are some fields empty?

Suppliers fill in their profiles differently — staff, factory size or certifications appear only when the supplier published them.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

<b>Products</b> — Alibaba search results: title, price and quantity price tiers, minimum order, supplier with years, country, rating and response rate. <b>Product details</b> — the full product page: specifications, variants, lead time, sample price, sold count, supplier contact. <b>Suppliers</b> — one row per company selling a product. <b>Buying requests</b> — RFQs posted by buyers: product, quantity, country.

## `productUrls` (type: `array`):

Product pages for <b>Product details</b>: <code>https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/\_1601617846699.html</code> or just the ID <code>1601617846699</code>.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Any alibaba.com link, routed automatically: a search results page with your filters (<code>alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=…</code>), a product page, or a buying-requests search on sourcing.alibaba.com.

## `maxResultsPerInput` (type: `integer`):

Each URL is one product page; this cap only matters for search URLs pasted in Alibaba URLs.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many rows in the whole run — a hard ceiling on cost.

## `monitoringStoreName` (type: `string`):

Give the run a name (e.g. <code>new-yoga-mats</code>) and every later run with the same name returns <b>only rows it has not delivered before</b> — new products, new suppliers, new buying requests. Schedule it daily. Empty = normal run.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
