They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Alibaba Product Detail Scraper Give it Alibaba product-detail URLs, get back the page's structured product data: title, description, price, currency, SKU, supplier name, category and images. For sourcing research, B2B price benchmarking, supplier discovery, dropshipping/private-label scouting. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|--------------| | `productUrls` | Array (required) | List of `alibaba.com/product-detail/*.html` URLs. | | `debug` | Boolean | Verbose logging. | ### Output One record per URL: ```json { "title": "New Design 20ml 30ml 50ml 60ml 100ml Essential Oil Serum Flat Shoulder Clear Glass Bottle", "description": "New Design ... Find Complete Details about ... from Guangzhou Ruijia Packing Products Co., Ltd.", "price": 0.05, "currency": "USD", "sku": "1600549122334", "supplierName": "Guangzhou Ruijia Packing Products Co., Ltd.", "category": "Packaging & Printing > Glass Packaging > Glass Bottles", "images": ["https://sc04.alicdn.com/..."], "availability": "InStock", "url": "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/..." } ```` ### Pricing $0.01/product. One URL in, one billed record out. ### Limitations - Reads the structured data (JSON-LD) Alibaba embeds on the page. Tiered volume pricing and MOQ are loaded client-side by Alibaba's frontend and are not part of that structured data, so they are not included. - If a URL is delisted or the page layout doesn't expose product structured data, that record comes back with a `warning` field instead of product fields. If this actor helped you, please leave a review on the Apify Store. # Actor input Schema ## `productUrls` (type: `array`): List of alibaba.com product-detail URLs (e.g. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Anything\_1601234567890.html). ## `debug` (type: `boolean`): Verbose logs (raw HTML lengths, selector hits, JSON-LD blocks). ## Actor input object example ```json { "productUrls": [ "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2024-New-Arrival-Custom-Logo-LED_1601237654321.html" ], "debug": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Product record: title, description, price, currency, sku, supplierName, category, images, availability, url. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "productUrls": [ "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2024-New-Arrival-Custom-Logo-LED_1601237654321.html" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gio21/alibaba-product-detail").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
