1688 (阿里巴巴) Wholesale Supplier Scraper — Factory-or-Trader Verdict

You paste a 1688 product URL. You get real MOQ price tiers and whether the seller is a factory or a trader — the fact that decides a purchase, backed by evidence, never guessed.

✅ Live-verified 2026-09-10

Field names confirmed with a real paid test call (keyword search "phone case", cost $0.005): offerId, title, detailUrl, price{min,max,currency}, quantityPrices[] ({quantityMin, quantityMax, price} — the real MOQ tiers), minOrderQuantity, and

supplier{companyName, shopUrl, tpYear, bizType, isFactoryInspected, isSuperFactory}

Still pending: this was a single schema check, not the 200-run reliability recipe required by NORME_VIGIA.md §5 / addendum A1. Do not publish before that recipe is run and its failure rate recorded.

The angle

Buyers on this niche don't ask for more fields — they ask for MOQ price tiers and a factory-or-trader verdict. supplier.type is only ever set when type_basis names real observed evidence; otherwise both stay "unknown".

5 advantages

1. One bad URL never kills your batch.
2. Never billed on a failed lookup.
3. Real MOQ price tiers, not a single blended price.
4. Factory-or-trader verdict with its evidence — never a guess.
5. Hard cost cap you control. Set maxTotalChargeUsd.

Pricing

Pay per event, base FREE-tier prices: $0.012 per product delivered, $0.002 per verified supplier, $0.0008 per MOQ price tier. Paid Store plans pay less on every event — the largest plans reach $0.00044 on the cheapest event; the Pricing tab on this Actor's Store page is always the authority. No event is ever charged on an item that returns an error — a batch of 200 with one bad input bills 199.

Use it from an AI agent (MCP and x402)

Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client to Apify's MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com and add this Actor, om_kh/1688-wholesale-supplier-scraper, as a tool — the agent passes the same JSON as the run input and gets the dataset back.

AI agents that pay with x402 can run it too, without an Apify account: the Actor charges only per result delivered, so an agent pays exactly for what it gets.

Use it from code (API)

Every Apify Actor is an API. Start a run and read the results with one call.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("om_kh/1688-wholesale-supplier-scraper").call(run_input={"includePriceTiers": True, "includeSupplierType": True})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('om_kh/1688-wholesale-supplier-scraper').call({
    "includePriceTiers": true,
    "includeSupplierType": true
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

One HTTP call (cURL) — runs the Actor and returns the dataset in the same response:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/om_kh~1688-wholesale-supplier-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"includePriceTiers": true, "includeSupplierType": true}'
