Alibaba Product Scraper

Extract Alibaba.com product data at scale: title, price, supplier, images, rating, and description, from any Alibaba product URL, search-results page, or search keyword. Built for B2B sourcing, wholesale price monitoring, and competitor and supplier research.

Alibaba is the world's largest B2B marketplace, where the same product is offered by many suppliers at different prices and minimum order quantities. This Actor turns any Alibaba product, search, or keyword into clean, structured data you can compare and track.

🏭 Supplier	🏷️ Input URL	🗳️ Review count
📄 Description	🔎 Keyword	📊 Extra attributes (optional)

Enable Include additional properties to capture extra Alibaba-specific attributes (such as minimum order quantity and product attributes) under additionalProperties.

Can I scrape Alibaba products, search results, and keywords?

Yes. Alibaba Product Scraper accepts three kinds of input and resolves all of them to product pages:

• Product URLs: direct links to Alibaba product (/product-detail/) pages.
• Search-results / listing URLs: any Alibaba /trade/search or showroom page. The Actor collects the product links it finds and follows pagination.
• Search keyword: a search term run against Alibaba.com.

How does Alibaba Product Scraper work?

1. You provide product URLs, search-results URLs, or a keyword.
2. The Actor expands search-results URLs and keyword searches into individual product URLs.
3. It requests each product page and extracts the structured data.
4. Each product is saved to your dataset as it completes, so first results appear within a minute.
5. Anything that cannot be scraped is written to a separate errors dataset with a clear reason.

How to run Alibaba Product Scraper via the API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_USERNAME~alibaba-product-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "detailsUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Wholesale-750ml-Stainless-Steel-Bottle_1600569797644.html" }], "maxProductResults": 10 }'

You can also run it via the Apify MCP server, schedule runs, or integrate the dataset with Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, and other tools.

Troubleshooting

• A run returns 0 products. Alibaba occasionally blocks automated requests. Re-run in a few minutes; the Actor records each blocked URL in the errors dataset with the reason, so a zero-result run is never silent.
• "Not a valid Alibaba product URL". Product input must be an alibaba.com product page (its path contains /product-detail/). Put search or showroom pages in Search-results / listing URLs instead.
• Keyword search returns too many products. Set Total maximum products to cap the run; broad B2B keywords can match thousands of listings.
• Missing rating or reviews. Many Alibaba products have no reviews yet, so rating and reviewCount can be empty even on a successful scrape.
