Inputs: keywords (array of search terms, required), location (string, optional city or region, default worldwide), emailDomains (array, default ["@gmail.com"], [] = any domain), maxEmails (integer 1-100000, default 10, emails per keyword), engine (select "legacy"), proxyConfiguration (object, optional).

✨ Features

Alibaba Email Scraper works as an alibaba supplier email finder and alibaba contact email extractor: give it a keyword and it returns clean, structured matches from public Alibaba supplier and product pages.

It extracts, per match:

• Email – the address shown on the page, lower case, matching your email domains.
• Page URL – the public Alibaba page the email was found on.
• Page title – the result's title as shown in the search listing.
• Description – the public text the email appears in (up to 500 characters).
• Keyword / network – the keyword that found the row and the platform (alibaba.com).

⚡ Every address is checked before it is kept: shortened or cut-off addresses, prose such as "that @gmail.com" and placeholders such as "username@gmail.com" are rejected, and the same email is returned once per keyword.

Why choose this actor?

• Real public emails, not guesses. A recorded local test run returned 10 emails for the keyword supplier in 178.6 seconds.
• Six clean fields per match. Every row carries the keyword, the page title, the public text the email appeared in and the page link.
• Built-in retry. When a search attempt is blocked the actor retries it with a fresh connection, and a backup source runs alongside, so this alibaba wholesale email finder still delivers results.

How does it work?

Alibaba Email Scraper doesn't log into Alibaba at all. For every keyword it searches public Alibaba supplier and product pages that show an email address of your chosen domains (retrying with a fresh connection when a search is blocked, with a backup source running alongside). It only reads what any logged-out visitor can already see. The email is read from the page's public title and text, checked, lower-cased and returned with the page link.

---

How do you integrate Alibaba Email Scraper into your stack?

Call it from any language over the Apify REST API, or wire it into a no-code tool.

No-code tools (n8n, Make, LangChain)

In n8n, use the Apify node's Run an Actor action. In Make, use the Apify app's Run an Actor module followed by Get Dataset Items. In LangChain, install langchain-apify and call ApifyActorsTool() to let an agent run it as a tool.

Is it legal to scrape Alibaba data?

Scraping publicly available data is generally permitted; the legal risk sits mostly in how the data is stored and used afterward. Alibaba Email Scraper returns only data that any logged-out visitor already sees. If you operate in the EU, GDPR applies to storing and using emails you collect: keep records you can justify and delete them when asked. Anti-spam rules (such as CAN-SPAM) still apply to outreach — the Actor finds public emails, it does not grant permission to contact them. Consult legal counsel if your use case involves bulk storage of personal data.

Can I use it with an AI agent through MCP?

What happens when Alibaba changes its layout or anti-bot system?

Do I need to manage proxies?

No. Proxy rotation and retries run on the Actor's side — plain HTTP requests, no browser to maintain.
