Need an Ingredients Online API alternative for procurement or competitive monitoring? This Actor scrapes the public Magento GraphQL catalog so you can export wholesale food additives, nutraceutical ingredients, vitamins, botanicals, and factory profiles with stock status and optional warehouse qty / lead times. Run from the Apify Console or automate with Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP / AI assistants.

When to use this Actor

• Keyword search for bulk ingredients (coconut oil, whey protein, citric acid, botanical extracts, …)
• Catalog crawls of the full wholesale listing grid (/products/ and category pages)
• Product enrichment — pack types, variants, public GraphQL price ranges, QC document labels
• US warehouse inventory — qty, location, lead time, restock date via the public warehouse API
• Factory / seller intelligence — manufacturer id + nested SKU lists
• Full factory directory with scrapeAllFactories (~1.4k sitemap URLs)

When not to use this Actor

• VIP / logged-in-only pricing or QC PDF downloads — many files and some prices stay gated (price.priceGated is set when GraphQL withholds numbers)
• Checkout, sample-request, or RFQ form automation
• Generic EU B2B company lookup — chain to Europages / WLW instead
• Recipe / grocery / barcode databases — wrong ICP for this Actor

---

Key Features

• Magento GraphQL search & catalog pagination (typically no headless browser)
• Product detail enrichment with pack variants and public price ranges
• Public warehouse inventory enrichment (US locations)
• Factory pages + sitemap factory dump
• Filters: in-stock only, max pages / page size
• Fast HTTP via curl_cffi Chrome TLS impersonation; proxy optional

FAQ

Is this an Ingredients Online API?
There is no official public product API for most buyers. This Actor is an Ingredients Online scraper / API alternative over public GraphQL, HTML, sitemap, and warehouse endpoints.

Does this Actor log in?
No. Guest-accessible data only.

Why does the site say “Log in to see pricing” while some rows still have prices?
The storefront UI hides prices for guests, but Magento GraphQL often still returns price_range / custom_range. When values are withheld, price.priceGated is true and amounts may be zero.

Can I download SDS / Spec PDFs?
Document labels are detected on product pages. File downloads usually need a registered account and are out of scope.

How large is the catalog?
On the order of ~3k active products and ~1.4k factory pages (varies over time).

Do I need residential proxy?
Usually not for GraphQL catalog/search. Enable Apify Proxy only if you hit blocks.
