Made-in-China Products & Suppliers Scraper

Scrape public Made-in-China product search pages into structured product and supplier sourcing data. Export product names, URLs, prices, MOQ, images, supplier names, locations, badges, and diagnostics to CSV, Excel, JSON, or the Apify API.

At a glance

• Primary job: Build supplier shortlists and product price/MOQ benchmarks from public Made-in-China search and category pages.
• Input: Enter a keyword such as electronics or paste public Made-in-China search/category/product URLs.
• Output: One dataset row per product, with raw listing values and optional structured detail data such as specifications, description, SKU/model, all images, availability, video, and supplier address.
• Best for: B2B sourcing research, procurement monitoring, supplier discovery, product benchmarking, and lead enrichment workflows.

Common workflows

• Supplier discovery: Search a product keyword and export supplier names, showroom URLs, locations, and audited/diamond badges.
• Price and MOQ benchmarking: Collect listing prices, price ranges, MOQ text, parsed MOQ values, and product URLs for sourcing analysis.
• Category monitoring: Schedule the same search URL weekly and compare newly listed products or suppliers.
• Automation: Send dataset exports to spreadsheets, CRMs, procurement tools, webhooks, or AI agents through the Apify API and MCP Server.

Ready-to-run examples

• Find LED suppliers on Made-in-China — collect a bounded supplier and product shortlist for LED lighting.
• Find packaging suppliers by MOQ — find paper packaging products with a minimum parsed MOQ of 100.
• Research solar panel product details — enrich solar panel listings with specifications, descriptions, images, availability, and supplier details.

Input recipes

• Small smoke test: Use query: "electronics", maxItems: 10, and maxPages: 1.
• Product sourcing search: Set query to a specific item such as pcb assembly, solar panel, or packaging machine and raise maxItems after checking output quality.
• Known search URL: Paste a Made-in-China URL such as https://www.made-in-china.com/multi-search/electronics/F1/1.html in startUrls.
• Batch keyword research: Put up to 20 terms in queries, for example solar panel, battery storage, and inverter. The legacy single query input remains supported.
• MOQ shortlist: Add minMoq to keep products whose parsed MOQ is at least the value you specify; unparseable MOQ rows are kept with raw text.
• Structured product details: Set includeDetails: true to fetch each public product page. A blocked or malformed detail page does not discard the valid listing row; check warnings and extractionStatus.

Pricing

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold	Platinum	Diamond	Charged when
Run start	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	Once when the Actor starts.

The item event is charged only for product rows the Actor attempts to save. Optional detail failures do not create a separate charge or paid error row; the valid product listing is saved once with a warning.

Tips for best results

• Start small: Use maxItems: 10 and maxPages: 1 until output quality is verified for your keyword.
• Use public inputs: Choose Made-in-China pages visible without logging in.
• Keep searches focused: Specific sourcing terms usually produce cleaner supplier shortlists than very broad terms.
• Keep raw fields: Use raw price/MOQ fields for auditability; parsed numeric fields are filled only when the text is safe to parse.
• Use details selectively: Detail mode performs one additional bounded request per product. Keep maxItems small until you confirm the richer fields are useful for your sourcing workflow.

API usage

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor("fetch_cat/made-in-china-products-suppliers-scraper").call({
  query: "electronics",
  maxItems: 10,
  maxPages: 1
});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/made-in-china-products-suppliers-scraper").call(run_input={
    "query": "electronics",
    "maxItems": 10,
    "maxPages": 1,
})
print(run["defaultDatasetId"])

cURL:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~made-in-china-products-suppliers-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"electronics","maxItems":10,"maxPages":1}'

MCP and AI agents

Use this Actor from MCP-compatible tools through the official Apify MCP Server.

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch_cat/made-in-china-products-suppliers-scraper"

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch_cat/made-in-china-products-suppliers-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Example prompt: "Run Made-in-China Products & Suppliers Scraper for electronics with 10 products and summarize supplier locations and MOQ ranges."

Schedule supplier and price monitoring

Use Apify Schedules to repeat a focused query or startUrls input daily or weekly. Keep the same keyword, limits, and detail mode so downstream comparisons stay consistent. Send completed-run webhooks to a spreadsheet, database, CRM, or alerting workflow; use productId or normalized productUrl as the stable comparison key.

Limits and caveats

• Coverage: This Actor targets public pages and does not guarantee every field appears on every listing.
• Private surfaces excluded: It does not log in, send inquiries, open chats, place orders, or scrape buyer-center content.
• Source changes: Made-in-China can change markup, ranking, prices, and supplier badges after a run finishes.
• Rate limits: Use conservative limits for broad category monitoring.
• Fallback behavior: Keyword pages can use an equivalent server-rendered mobile route after a transient desktop block. RUN_SUMMARY records the route that produced each source.
• Details under blocking: Product detail pages may occasionally present a challenge. The Actor preserves listing data and reports a row warning instead of discarding otherwise valid output.

Legality and responsible use

Process only data you are allowed to access. Follow Made-in-China terms, Apify's terms, and applicable laws. Do not use this Actor to spam suppliers or automate private messaging.

FAQ

Can I export results?

Yes. Apify datasets support JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, and API access.

Why are some fields empty?

Some listings do not expose every field publicly. The Actor leaves unavailable fields empty and records field names in missingFields instead of guessing.

Can it contact suppliers?

No. This Actor only extracts public listing data. Inquiry forms, chat, buyer center, and account pages are intentionally out of scope.

Does it require login, cookies, or a Made-in-China API key?

No. It works with public pages and does not collect login cookies or private account data. You can configure Apify Proxy if the public site rate-limits your route.

Is this a Made-in-China API alternative?

It is a practical export and automation interface for the public product and supplier fields described above. It is not an official Made-in-China API and does not provide private buyer, order, message, or supplier-contact data.

What if a run returns no data?

Open RUN_SUMMARY to see whether the source was empty, blocked, or structurally changed. Retry with a small known keyword such as electronics, confirm the URL is public without login, and share the run ID through the Actor issue form if the known keyword also fails.

Can I schedule recurring exports?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules with stable input and compare rows by productId or productUrl. The Actor itself does not keep a cross-run price history.

Support

Open an issue from the Actor page if a run fails or output looks wrong. Include the run ID or run URL, input JSON, expected output, actual output, and one reproducible public URL.
