It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Alibaba Products Scraper: Price Tiers & Suppliers Get the products of any Alibaba.com search with their price tiers by quantity in US dollars on every row, the minimum order, ratings, Verified and Trade Assurance marks, and the supplier: staff, factory size, certifications, response rate and export markets. Turn on product pages to add option prices, the full attributes table, lead times, certificates, the Guaranteed mark and the supplier's revenue and contact, at the same price per product. No Alibaba account, login or cookies needed. Tested daily. Latest checks: 4,298 products from one search in 7 minutes, 379 from a narrower one read until Alibaba's results ended, and 51 products with their product pages in under a minute. ### What does this Actor do? You give it search terms (the words you would type in Alibaba's search box), links to Alibaba search results or showroom pages, or links to products. For each search it reads the results one page after another, as you would by clicking "Next", and saves one row per product until it reaches your limit or Alibaba's results end. Sponsored products are kept and marked. Each row comes with: - **The product:** id, link, title, pictures, whether it has a video, its category and the attributes the results show. - **Price and order:** the price or price range, its lowest and highest amounts in US dollars, **the price for each quantity range** (e.g. 2–99 pieces at $6.72, 100+ at $6.20), a promotion price, discount and dates, the minimum order quantity and unit, and shipping and delivery where Alibaba shows them. - **Sales and ratings:** the number sold where shown, the product's score, review score and count, shipping and supplier-service scores, and the review tags buyers picked most ("Good quality (12)"). - **Marks:** Verified, Verified Pro, Gold supplier, Trade Assurance, Easy Return, Ready to Ship, and the product's certifications (CE, FCC, RoHS…). - **The supplier:** id, name, logo, country, years on Alibaba, staff count, factory size, main products, company certifications (ISO…) and who inspected them, response rate and time, export markets, past transactions, and its store, profile and product list links. - **Where it was found:** the search, the page, the place in the results, and Alibaba's own result count. With **Include product page details** on, each row also gets, from the product's own page: - **Each option's price** (each color or size) where the product is priced by option (otherwise its options share the quantity tiers), and the full price tiers with promotion prices, in US dollars. - **The product:** its category path, key attributes and the full attributes table, the option lists with pictures, customization options, full-size pictures, videos, package size and weight, place of dispatch, lead time per order size, certificates with their numbers and issuers, protections, the Alibaba Guaranteed mark and its benefits, ranking and promotion. - **The supplier's profile:** business type, staff range, assessment and Gold Plus marks, on-time delivery rate, revenue and orders of the last six months, the Trade Assurance limit, complaints, store rating and review count, ratings for service, shipping and quality, capabilities, the login id, and the contact's name, job title and picture. A product link always comes with its product page's details. ### Why use it? - **Price tiers on every row, not only with an add-on.** Each product's quantity prices come with the search results, at the base price. - **Product pages at the same price.** One switch adds each product's page: options, attributes and the supplier's profile. No second tool and no second list of links. - **Every filter Alibaba's search offers**, as plain settings: Trade Assurance, Verified, Verified Pro, Guaranteed, supplier rating, supplier country, price range and maximum minimum order, sorted by relevance or sales. Or paste a results link with the filters already picked. - **Product links too.** Paste the products you track and get each one's current tiers, options and supplier. ### How to use it 1. Type your search terms, or paste Alibaba search, showroom or product links. 2. Pick filters and a sort order if you want them, and how many products each search may save. 3. Turn on **Include product page details** if you need option prices, attributes and the supplier's profile. 4. Click **Start**, then download the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel. ### Input | Field | What it does | Default | | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | **Search terms** (`searchTerms`) | Words to search for, one search each | — | | **Links** (`startUrls`) | Alibaba search results, showroom or product links; a search link keeps its filters | — | | **Max products per search** (`maxProductsPerSearch`) | Stop each search after this many products (1 to 4,800) | 100 | | **Include product page details** (`includeDetails`) | Also read each product's page: option prices, attributes, supplier profile | off | | **Sort by** (`sortBy`) | `relevance` or `sales_volume` | `relevance` | | **Trade Assurance only** (`tradeAssurance`) | Only suppliers offering Trade Assurance | off | | **Verified suppliers only** (`verifiedSupplier`) | Only Verified suppliers | off | | **Verified Pro suppliers only** (`verifiedProSupplier`) | Only Verified Pro suppliers | off | | **Alibaba Guaranteed only** (`guaranteed`) | Only Alibaba Guaranteed products | off | | **Minimum supplier rating** (`minReviewScore`) | `4`, `4.5` or `5` | any | | **Supplier country** (`supplierCountry`) | A two-letter code (`CN`, `VN`, `IN`…) | anywhere | | **Minimum price** / **Maximum price** (`minPrice`, `maxPrice`) | A price range in US dollars | — | | **Maximum minimum order** (`maxMoq`) | Only products whose minimum order is at most this | — | The filters and the sort apply to the search terms; a pasted search link keeps its own.

No surcharges and no paid options; an item that fails is not charged. This Actor is priced per product saved: - **$1.50 per 1,000 products** ($0.0015 a product), with or without product page details. Ads and regular products cost the same. Each is charged once per run. - No start fee, and nothing per search or per product page. So 1,000 products cost $1.50. If you set a maximum cost for a run, the Actor stops when it reaches it and keeps every product saved so far. ### How long does a run take? About 16 seconds for the first 100 products of a search, about 7 minutes for 4,300 products from one search, and under a second per product with product page details (51 products in 35 seconds). ### Good to know - **A search ends where Alibaba's results end**, or at the 100th page (48 products a page, 4,800 products). To reach more, split a search into narrower ones: more specific words, or filters. - **`results_total` is Alibaba's own count**, and it is rough: it changes from page to page and can be far above what the pages list. - **Prices are in US dollars**, in the results and on the product pages. - **Not every product has every number.** The number sold, promotions, shipping, staff and factory size are empty where Alibaba shows none. - **A product found by two searches is saved and charged once**, under the search that reached it first. - **With product page details on, a product whose page cannot be read is not saved**, and not charged: its row would lack what you asked for. - **Check your links first.** A link that is not an Alibaba search, showroom or product link stops the run before anything is read, and the message names it. Searches are read on Alibaba's English site, so a search link from a language site (spanish.alibaba.com) is refused; its product links work. - **One search that cannot be read does not stop the run.** The others carry on, and the run's status lists the searches that could not be read. - **It does not read review texts, the product description or the supplier's whole catalogue.** ### More Actors from us - [Airbnb Scraper: Every Stay, Past the 15-Page Limit](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/airbnb-listings-scraper): Every stay of an Airbnb search, past the 15 pages Airbnb shows, checked against its count. - [AliExpress Product Scraper: Search Results & Prices](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/aliexpress-products-scraper): Every product of an AliExpress search to its last page, with exact sold counts and ratings. - [Amazon Product Scraper: Search Results & Prices](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/amazon-products-scraper): Every product on Amazon's search pages to the last page, sponsored marked, with monthly sales. - [App Store Reviews Scraper: All Reviews, Not 500](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/app-store-reviews-scraper): Every written App Store review of an app, not just the newest 500. - [Woolworths Coles ALDI Scraper: AU Grocery Prices](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/au-supermarkets-scraper): Woolworths, Coles and ALDI products for any search in one run, every results page to the end. - [Bilibili Video Scraper: Search & Channel Videos](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/bilibili-videos-scraper): Bilibili videos from searches or whole channels, each with its full detail page's data. ### Use it from an AI agent or the API One call starts a run and returns its items (Apify waits up to 300 seconds; for a longer run, start it with `POST /v2/acts/…/runs` and read its dataset): ```text POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/luzivanlt~alibaba-products-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token= ``` With the sample input as its JSON body: ```json { "searchTerms": ["bluetooth speaker"], "maxProductsPerSearch": 100, "includeDetails": false, "sortBy": "relevance", "tradeAssurance": false, "verifiedSupplier": false, "verifiedProSupplier": false, "guaranteed": false } ``` Its inputs, in the order of the input form: | Input | What it takes | Default | | --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | | `searchTerms` (Search terms) | Words to search Alibaba.com for, one search per line, as you would type them in Alibaba's search box, up to 200 characters each. | — | | `startUrls` (Links) | Alibaba.com search results links (https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=…), showroom links (https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/….html) or product links (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/…\_\.html). | — | | `maxProductsPerSearch` (Max products per search) | Stop each search after this many products, in Alibaba's order, from 1 to 4,800 (100 by default). | `100` | | `includeDetails` (Include product page details) | Also read each product's own page: each option's (SKU) price in US dollars where the product is priced by option, the full attributes table, the option lists, lead times, package size and weight, certificates, videos, the store rating, and the supplier's profile (business type, staff, on-time delivery, response time, six-month revenue and orders, capabilities, contact name and title). | `false` | | `sortBy` (Sort by) | The order Alibaba lists the products in, for the search terms above: Relevance (Alibaba's own order, the default) or Sales volume (the products sold most in the last 180 days first). | `"relevance"` | | `tradeAssurance` (Trade Assurance only) | Only products from suppliers that offer Alibaba's Trade Assurance (payment protection for orders paid on Alibaba), for the search terms above. | `false` | | `verifiedSupplier` (Verified suppliers only) | Only products from Verified suppliers, whose business was inspected by a third-party company, for the search terms above. | `false` | | `verifiedProSupplier` (Verified Pro suppliers only) | Only products from Verified Pro suppliers, Alibaba's highest level of supplier checks, for the search terms above. | `false` | | `guaranteed` (Alibaba Guaranteed only) | Only Alibaba Guaranteed products: a fixed price with shipping included, delivery by a set date and money back if it is late, for the search terms above. | `false` | | `minReviewScore` (Minimum supplier rating) | Only products from suppliers whose store rating is this high or higher: 4.0 & up, 4.5 & up, or 5.0, for the search terms above. | — | | `supplierCountry` (Supplier country) | Only products from suppliers in this country or region, as a two-letter code, for the search terms above. | — | | `minPrice` (Minimum price) | Only products priced at or above this, in US dollars, for the search terms above. | — | | `maxPrice` (Maximum price) | Only products priced at or below this, in US dollars, for the search terms above. | — | | `maxMoq` (Maximum minimum order) | Only products you can order this many of or fewer (a minimum order quantity of at most this), for the search terms above. | — | Apify's MCP server, `https://mcp.apify.com`, lists it as `luzivanlt/alibaba-products-scraper`. To give an AI agent this Actor as a tool, add the server to the agent's MCP config: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=luzivanlt/alibaba-products-scraper" } } } ``` The client signs in with OAuth, or add `"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " }`. Charged per product delivered; the sample input above costs at most $0.15. ### FAQ **Do I need an Alibaba account or cookies?** No. The Actor reads what anyone can see on Alibaba.com without logging in. **Can I get only ads or only regular products?** Every product is kept and marked with `sponsored`, so you can filter the dataset later. **Do product page details cost more?** No. A product costs the same with or without its product page; the run takes longer. **Can I run it from my own code, on a schedule, or with other apps?** Yes. Like any Apify Actor, you can start it through the Apify API, run it on a schedule, and connect it to other apps with Apify's integrations and webhooks. ### Is it legal to scrape Alibaba.com? This Actor reads only what anyone can see on Alibaba.com without logging in. Rows can name a supplier's contact person; check Alibaba's terms and the data protection laws that apply to you before you use the data.

The filters and sort below apply to them. A link here is refused: paste it under Links. A product found by two searches is saved and charged once. Example: bluetooth speaker ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Alibaba.com search results links (https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=…), showroom links (https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/….html) or product links (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/…\_.html). A search link keeps the filters and sort you picked on Alibaba and is read from its first page; the filters below do not change it. A product link always comes with its product page's details. Searches are read on www.alibaba.com in English; a search on a language site (spanish.alibaba.com) is refused. Example: https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=yoga+mat\&ta=y ## `maxProductsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Stop each search after this many products, in Alibaba's order, from 1 to 4,800 (100 by default). A search ends on its own when Alibaba lists nothing new, or at its 100th page (48 products a page). You pay per product saved ($1.50 per 1,000), so this also caps what each search costs. Example: 500 ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Also read each product's own page: each option's (SKU) price in US dollars where the product is priced by option, the full attributes table, the option lists, lead times, package size and weight, certificates, videos, the store rating, and the supplier's profile (business type, staff, on-time delivery, response time, six-month revenue and orders, capabilities, contact name and title). One more page per product, so a run takes longer; the price per product stays the same. Off by default. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): The order Alibaba lists the products in, for the search terms above: Relevance (Alibaba's own order, the default) or Sales volume (the products sold most in the last 180 days first). A pasted search link keeps its own order. Example: sales_volume ## `tradeAssurance` (type: `boolean`): Only products from suppliers that offer Alibaba's Trade Assurance (payment protection for orders paid on Alibaba), for the search terms above. A pasted search link keeps its own filters. ## `verifiedSupplier` (type: `boolean`): Only products from Verified suppliers, whose business was inspected by a third-party company, for the search terms above. A pasted search link keeps its own filters. Off by default. ## `verifiedProSupplier` (type: `boolean`): Only products from Verified Pro suppliers, Alibaba's highest level of supplier checks, for the search terms above. A pasted search link keeps its own filters. Off by default. ## `guaranteed` (type: `boolean`): Only Alibaba Guaranteed products: a fixed price with shipping included, delivery by a set date and money back if it is late, for the search terms above. A pasted search link keeps its own filters. ## `minReviewScore` (type: `string`): Only products from suppliers whose store rating is this high or higher: 4.0 & up, 4.5 & up, or 5.0, for the search terms above. Empty = any rating; a pasted link keeps its own. Example: 4.5 ## `supplierCountry` (type: `string`): Only products from suppliers in this country or region, as a two-letter code, for the search terms above. Empty = anywhere. A pasted search link keeps its own filters. Example: VN ## `minPrice` (type: `number`): Only products priced at or above this, in US dollars, for the search terms above. Leave empty for no lower limit. A pasted search link keeps its own filters. Example: 5 ## `maxPrice` (type: `number`): Only products priced at or below this, in US dollars, for the search terms above. Leave empty for no upper limit. A pasted search link keeps its own filters. Example: 20 ## `maxMoq` (type: `integer`): Only products you can order this many of or fewer (a minimum order quantity of at most this), for the search terms above. Empty = any; a pasted search link keeps its own filters. Example: 10 ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerms": [ "bluetooth speaker" ], "maxProductsPerSearch": 100, "includeDetails": false, "sortBy": "relevance", "tradeAssurance": false, "verifiedSupplier": false, "verifiedProSupplier": false, "guaranteed": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `products` (type: `string`): Every product the run saved, one row per product. ## `allFields` (type: `string`): The same rows with every field. ## `runReport` (type: `string`): What happened to each input: items saved, nothing found, refused by the site, stopped at your limit, or the error. # 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 = { "searchTerms": [ "bluetooth speaker" ], "maxProductsPerSearch": 100 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("luzivanlt/alibaba-products-scraper").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 📖?
