Alibaba Scraper: Products, Price Tiers & Suppliers

Alibaba Scraper reads Alibaba.com wholesale products by search term, category, showroom or product URL and returns one row per product with the price range in US dollars, the MOQ and the supplier's trust signals: Verified and Verified Pro badges, years on Alibaba, country, store rating, reviews and reorder rate. Turn on product details for the full quantity price ladder (120–999 pieces at $4.26, 1,000–4,999 at $3.95, 5,000+ at $3.70), sample price, SKU options, specs, certificates, lead time by quantity, Trade Assurance and the supplier's response time, on-time dispatch rate, staff and export markets. Use it as an Alibaba.com scraper, Alibaba product scraper, Alibaba supplier scraper or Alibaba API for B2B sourcing, from $1 per 1,000 listings and $4.20 per 1,000 products with details.

What you can do with it

• "Find Verified yoga mat suppliers with Trade Assurance and an MOQ under 200." Search by product, tick verifiedSupplier and tradeAssurance, set maxMoq: the site's own filters do the narrowing, so every page holds matching products.
• "What do I pay per unit at 1,000 pieces?" Turn on includeDetails: each row gets priceTiers, the supplier's own quantity price ladder, plus the lead time for each order size.
• "Shortlist Verified Pro manufacturers in Vietnam with ISO certification." Combine verifiedPro, supplierCountry: "VN" and supplierCertification: "ISO".
• "Vet these suppliers before I send an inquiry." Paste product pages as start URLs: you get response time, on-time dispatch and reorder rates, staff, export markets, floorspace, verified identity (Custom Manufacturer…), capabilities and certificates with their issuer and validity.
• "Tell me when a new supplier lists LED strip lights, or when a price or MOQ changes." Schedule a run with onlyChanges: only new listings (changeType: "added") and listings whose price range, MOQ or ladder changed (changeType: "updated", with the earlier values).
• "Feed an AI sourcing agent." Pick only the fields it needs with fields (for example title, priceMin, moq, priceTiers, supplier.name).

Why this actor

• The full price ladder, not only a range. With details on, each product's own page is read for every quantity break, the sample price and the lead time per quantity.
• Supplier trust fields on every row. Verified and Verified Pro badges, years, country, store rating and reviews, service and shipping scores, reorder rate; with details also response time, on-time dispatch rate, staff, export markets, business type, verified identity, Trade Assurance and its limit.
• The site's own trust filters. Verified Supplier, Verified Pro, Trade Assurance, Alibaba Guaranteed, US local stock, samples, store rating, delivery days, supplier country, supplier and product certifications, price and MOQ range, sort by sales. Each card the site returns is also checked against the filters it can show, and a card that fails one is left out, never charged.
• Only-changes monitoring. onlyChanges remembers what earlier runs of the same searches delivered and returns only new listings and real price, ladder or MOQ changes.
• Clear about what it could not read. A search that finds nothing, or an address that cannot be read, gets a free row saying why. Alibaba's bot check, a stand-in page or a page in another currency is asked once more and then reported as a refusal, never as "no results".
• Built for AI agents. Compact JSON, numbers as numbers, ISO dates and country codes, absolute URLs, stable product ids and field names, a field picker (fields), a dataset schema with views, and a run summary (RUN_SUMMARY) with counts and reasons. Works from Apify's MCP server like any actor.

Input

Field	Type	What it does
searchTerms	array of strings	Products to search, one per line ("yoga mat"). Read page by page, 48 products a page.
startUrls	array of URLs	Search pages (/trade/search?…), category pages (a search with categoryId=…), showroom pages (/showroom/…) and product pages.
maxResultsPerSearch	integer	Products per search or search address (default 48, up to 2,400).
maxResults	integer	Optional cap across the whole run.
verifiedSupplier, verifiedPro	boolean	Only suppliers with the Verified badge, or Verified Pro suppliers.
tradeAssurance, guaranteed	boolean	Only products covered by Trade Assurance, or Alibaba Guaranteed products.
usLocalStock, samples	boolean	Only products in a US warehouse; only products with samples for sale.
minReviewScore	any, 4, 4.5, 5	Store rating at least this.
deliveryDays	any, 18, 24, 30	Delivery to the US within this many days.
supplierCountry	two-letter code	Only suppliers in this country (CN, VN, IN, US…).
supplierCertification, productCertification	text	A management certification of the supplier (ISO, BSCI…) or a product certification (CE, RoHS…), as the site names them.
minPrice, maxPrice	number (USD)	Unit price range.
minMoq, maxMoq	integer	Minimum order quantity range.
sort	relevance, sales	The site's order, or by sales volume.
includeDetails	boolean	Read each product's page for the price ladder and supplier details (one product-details event in place of the listing event).
onlyChanges	boolean	Only listings new since earlier runs of the same searches, plus listings whose price range, MOQ or ladder changed.
fields	array of strings	Keep only these fields (dotted paths such as supplier.name).

Every filter is sent to Alibaba as its own search filter, so the pages read hold only matching products. The run also checks each card against the filters a card shows (price, MOQ, country, store rating, the Verified and Verified Pro badges, a product certification the card lists) and leaves out a card that fails one. Filters a card does not show (Trade Assurance, Guaranteed, local stock, samples, delivery days, supplier certifications) are left to the site. Filters apply to searches; a product page given as a start URL is delivered as it is.

Pricing

Pay per event: you pay only for products delivered.

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Listing from a search (listing)	$2.00 per 1,000	$1.00 per 1,000	$0.90 per 1,000	$0.80 per 1,000
Product with details (product-details, with includeDetails)	$8.40 per 1,000	$4.20 per 1,000	$3.78 per 1,000	$3.36 per 1,000
Unchanged product checked on its page (item-checked, with onlyChanges and includeDetails)	$8.40 per 1,000	$4.20 per 1,000	$3.78 per 1,000	$3.36 per 1,000

A row is one event: product-details when its product page was read (it includes the listing), else listing. A product page given as a start URL is one product-details event (with onlyChanges, one item-checked event when it is unchanged). Plus Apify's small start fee per run. With onlyChanges and includeDetails, the page of every watched product is read so a ladder change is caught: an unchanged product is not delivered, and its page read is one item-checked event. Cards left out by a filter, unchanged listings in onlyChanges mode without details, pages the site refused and the free rows that explain an entry that gave nothing are not charged. A product page that could not be read leaves its row as the search shows it, charged as a listing. The run checks your spending limit before it asks a product page, and stops before a row it cannot pay for.

Limits

• Prices are in US dollars: every page is asked from a US address, and a card priced in another currency is left out.
• Alibaba shows the shipping quote only to a signed-in buyer, so shipping cost is not part of the output.
• Alibaba pages show the supplier's response time but not its response rate; the reorder rate is shown for most suppliers.
• With onlyChanges, each search watches the products a normal run would deliver (the first Max results per search that pass the filters), and the changes on every page read are delivered in page order up to Max results per search: unchanged listings never take the place of changed ones. Without includeDetails, listings are compared on their search card only (price range, MOQ), so a change to the price ladder alone is not seen: turn on includeDetails to catch ladder changes (each watched product's page is read; an unchanged one is one item-checked event).
• No sign-in and no CAPTCHA solving: a page Alibaba refuses twice is reported in the run summary.
• A search page takes 30 to 90 seconds; product pages are read three at a time.
