Example Usage

Search by keyword

{
  "searchKeywords": ["wireless earbuds", "LED strip lights"],
  "maxResults": 50
}

Scrape specific product URLs

{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Some-Product_123456789.html"
  ]
}

Combined search with supplier details

{
  "searchKeywords": ["bluetooth speaker"],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "includeSupplierDetails": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Proxy Requirements

Residential proxies are strongly recommended. Alibaba.com actively blocks datacenter IP addresses. Without residential proxies, you will encounter security verification (CAPTCHA) pages.

The scraper automatically configures residential proxies if no proxy settings are provided. If you encounter persistent blocking, try reducing maxConcurrency or adding delays between requests.

Pricing

$5.00 per 1,000 items scraped.

Notes

• Alibaba search results typically show ~48 products per page
• The scraper handles both SSR HTML parsing and embedded JSON data extraction
• Maximum pagination depth is 20 pages per keyword
• Scraping speed is intentionally limited (2 concurrent requests) to reduce detection risk
• Some fields may be null depending on available data in the listing
