You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README Search **made-in-china.com** by product keyword and get flat, structured records for every product AND its supplier — including a **named contact person, their job title, and the exact mailing address**, pulled from the supplier's own public contact page. Most made-in-china scrapers stop at the listing card and hand you a vague "Henan, China" location; this Actor takes one extra hop per unique supplier to surface who you'd actually be emailing and where they really are. ### What you get per product Product fields — title, price, MOQ, product URL, supplier name/location/URL, certifications, product properties (with `hs_code` pulled out when present), image + image gallery, a `company_info` summary object, and a `scraped_timestamp`. Wedge fields (our undercut) — `supplier_contact_name` (e.g. "Miss Mia"), `supplier_contact_title` (e.g. "Manager of International Trade Department"), `supplier_address_full` (the exact street/city/province/zip, not just a province name), and `supplier_contact_url` (the page it came from). **Honest framing:** phone, email, and WhatsApp are behind a login on made-in-china.com and are intentionally NOT collected — only public, un-gated fields. ### How to use it Set `searchQuery` to the product you're sourcing (e.g. "led lights"), a `maxItems` cap (0 = all available pages, capped for safety), and leave `fetchContact` on `true` to get the wedge fields. Each unique supplier's contact page is fetched once and cached for the whole run, so you're not paying for redundant hops when many products share a supplier. Turn `fetchContact` off for a faster, cheaper product-only run. The default Apify Residential proxy is billed to your own run — no external account needed. ### Reliability Every record carries a `parse_confidence` score and a `warnings` list so a site-structure drift shows up as a measurable signal rather than a silent empty. A supplier whose contact page 404s, redirects to a login, or is otherwise unavailable degrades those fields to `null` — the product fields still ship. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Product keyword to search on made-in-china.com. Example: 'led lights', 'electronics', 'stainless steel pipe'. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of product records to return. 0 = all available pages (capped for safety). You are charged per record returned. ## `fetchDetail` (type: `boolean`): When true (default), visits each product's own detail page to fill in price, MOQ, supplier name/location, certifications and product specifications. Set false to skip this hop and return listing-page fields only (faster, cheaper). ## `fetchContact` (type: `boolean`): When true (default), visits each unique supplier's public contact-info page once to extract the named contact person, job title, and exact mailing address. Set false to skip this hop and return product fields only (faster, cheaper). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy used to fetch made-in-china.com. Apify Residential proxy is recommended and billed to your run — no external account needed. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "electronics", "maxItems": 8, "fetchDetail": true, "fetchContact": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset of made-in-china.com product records (title, price, moq, supplier\_name, supplier\_location, supplier\_url, certifications, product\_properties, supplier\_contact\_name, supplier\_contact\_title, supplier\_address\_full, parse\_confidence). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "electronics", "maxItems": 8, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("bovi/made-in-china-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
