# Amazon Sourcing — Compare 1688 Suppliers Across SKUs

**Use case:** 

Compare 1688 suppliers for several products at once. Each product gets its best-matching offers ranked by unit price at the MOQ, with MOQ, supplier signals and landed-cost estimates, and the free supplier rollup shows which suppliers can cover more than one of your SKUs — useful for consolidating orders with fewer suppliers. This example: 3 products, top 5 suppliers each, sorted by price.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/crawleast/1688-supplier-finder.md

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`).
