## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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`).

### What can I get

- 🏭 **Search suppliers by keyword** — 20 suppliers a page, up to 100 pages deep, with name, logo, store images, main products, featured product with its price, years on Alibaba, factory area, staff, transactions, response time, rating score and review count, tags (ODM service, customization…), Verified Supplier / Verified Pro / live-stream / ad flags and the store link
- 🎛️ **The site's supplier filters** — supplier country, Verified Supplier, Verified Pro, Trade Assurance and company certifications (ISO, BSCI, IATF 16949…)
- 🏢 **Full company profiles on demand** — address, province and location, business type, established year, employees, supplier stars, main products and markets, the company description and about images, management certifications, total annual revenue, accepted payment methods, currencies and delivery terms, contract manufacturing (OEM / design / buyer label), capability tags, identity and verification checks (supplier assessment, on-site check, AV check, verified video), Gold / Verified / Trade Assurance / local supplier flags, performance (response time, on-time delivery rate, half-year order amount and count, video call) and rating
- 📦 **Each supplier's product catalogue** — every product in the store, 16 a page up to 500 pages, with title, images, price range and unit, MOQ, 180-day sold count, order count, monthly views, review score, certifications and the ready-to-ship / Alibaba Guaranteed / customizable / fast-dispatch flags; search within the store and sort by newest, price, orders or relevance
- 🔗 **Any supplier store URL** — paste `https://<store>.en.alibaba.com/…` links and get the full company profile back

### Why Alibaba Supplier Scraper

Most other Alibaba supplier scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

- 🗄️ **Inaccurate, cached, stale data**
- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — a name and a link, never the factory size, response rate, revenue band or verification checks
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data** — start fees, tiers and paid "supplier report" events
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

Alibaba Supplier Scraper is scraped live on every run, priced honestly, and actively maintained.

With the profile toggle, the card fields stay on the row next to the profile ones.*

### FAQ

#### How many suppliers do I get per keyword?

Alibaba serves 20 suppliers a page for up to 100 pages, so one keyword yields at most **2,000 suppliers**. The Actor keeps paging until it has **Max Results per Query** suppliers or the site runs out. Suppliers found twice in a run — the same company under two keywords, or in a search and as a pasted store URL — are scraped and billed only once.

#### What does "Scrape Full Company Profiles" add?

The whole company profile on top of the search card: `address`, `province` and `location`, `business_type`, `established_year`, `employees` and `staff_count`, `supplier_stars`, `main_products` and `main_markets`, the company `description` and `about_images`, `video_cover`, `management_certifications`, `total_annual_revenue`, `accepted_payment_methods`, `accepted_currencies` and `accepted_delivery_terms`, `contract_manufacturing` (OEM, design and buyer-label services), `capability_tags`, `identity` and `verification` (assessed by, supplier assessment, on-site check, AV check, verified video), the `is_gold_supplier`, `is_verified_supplier`, `is_trade_assurance` and `is_local_supplier` flags, `performance` (response time, on-time delivery rate, half-year order amount and count, video call) and `rating`. Pasted store URLs are always scraped in full.

#### What does "Scrape Each Supplier's Products" add, and how is it billed?

For every supplier row the Actor also walks the supplier's store — up to **Max Products per Supplier** products (16 a page, up to 500 pages), optionally narrowed with **Product Keyword** and ordered by **Product Sort By**. Each product becomes its own dataset row with `row_type: "product"` and a `supplier` block (id, name, subdomain, link) naming the store it belongs to, plus `title`, `link`, `image`, `images`, `price` in your **Currency**, `price_unit`, `moq`, `sold_count_180d`, `order_count`, `monthly_views`, `review_score`, `certifications`, `group_id`, `video_id` and the `is_ready_to_ship`, `is_alibaba_guaranteed`, `is_customizable`, `has_fast_dispatch` flags. Product rows are billed at the standard rate — $2 per 1,000 — and each product only once per run.

#### Which filters can I use?

The same ones the site's supplier search offers: supplier country, Verified Supplier, Verified Pro, Trade Assurance and supplier certifications (ISO, BSCI, IATF 16949…). Every filter applies to every keyword search; pasted store URLs are scraped regardless of filters.

#### Is the data live?

Yes. Every run fetches Alibaba live — years on Alibaba, response times, transactions, verification status and product prices are as fresh as the site itself.

#### What does it cost?

$0.002 per supplier — $2 per 1,000, flat on every plan, with no start fee. Full company profiles add $0.002 per supplier ($4 per 1,000 all in), charged only when the profile comes back — if it can't be fetched you keep the search card at the standard rate. Product rows cost the standard $2 per 1,000. Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which is 2,500 suppliers or 1,250 fully-profiled suppliers free every month.

#### Is it legal to scrape Alibaba?

The Actor collects publicly available company data — business profiles, certifications, performance figures and product listings — without personal information. Please review Alibaba's terms of use and make sure your use complies with the law of your jurisdiction.

#### Can I search products or search by image?

Not with this Actor — it is built for suppliers. The [Alibaba Scraper](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/alibaba-scraper) searches products by keyword or category with every filter and scrapes full product pages, and the [Alibaba Reverse Image Search](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/alibaba-reverse-image-search) finds the products and suppliers behind any photo.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Product or industry keywords exactly as you would type them into the site's supplier search (`raspberry pi`, `led strip`, `silver jewelry`), or pasted supplier store URLs — `https://<store>.en.alibaba.com/…`, the host every Alibaba search result and product page links to — which are scraped as a full company profile. Rows carry a `search_query` field so you can tell searches apart.

## `supplierCountry` (type: `string`):

Only suppliers located in this country — a 2-letter ISO code such as `CN`, `US`, `IN`, `TR` or `VN`.

## `verifiedSupplier` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only Verified Suppliers (third-party inspected).

## `verifiedPro` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only Verified Pro suppliers.

## `tradeAssurance` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only Trade Assurance suppliers (order protection through Alibaba).

## `supplierCertifications` (type: `array`):

Company certifications the supplier must hold — `ISO`, `BSCI`, `IATF 16949`, … Every row of a search response lists the ones available under `filters.supplier_certifications` on the API.

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of suppliers to scrape per search query. Use this to control your cost (1,000 suppliers ≈ $2). Alibaba serves at most 2,000 suppliers per keyword (100 pages of 20). Ignored for pasted store URLs.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, every supplier found is also scraped in full — `address`, `location` and `province`, `business_type`, `established_year`, `employees`, `supplier_stars`, `main_products` and `main_markets`, the company `description` and `about_images`, `management_certifications`, `total_annual_revenue`, `accepted_payment_methods`, `accepted_currencies` and `accepted_delivery_terms`, `contract_manufacturing` (OEM / design / buyer label), `capability_tags`, `identity` and `verification` (supplier assessment, on-site check, AV check, verified video), the `is_gold_supplier` / `is_verified_supplier` / `is_trade_assurance` / `is_local_supplier` flags, `performance` (response time, on-time delivery rate, half-year order amount and count, video call) and `rating`. Still one dataset row per supplier, billed once at the detailed-supplier rate instead of the standard rate (1,000 detailed suppliers ≈ $4 vs $2 standard). Pasted store URLs are always scraped in full.

## `includeProducts` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, for every supplier found the Actor also lists the products in its store — one extra dataset row per product with `row_type: "product"`, the `supplier` it belongs to (id, name, subdomain, link), title, images, price range, price unit, MOQ, 180-day sold count, order count, monthly views, review score, certifications and the ready-to-ship / Alibaba Guaranteed / customizable / fast-dispatch flags. Product rows are billed at the standard supplier rate ($2 per 1,000).

## `maxProductsPerSupplier` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to list per supplier store. Alibaba serves 16 products a page for up to 500 pages, so one store yields at most 8,000 products.

## `productQuery` (type: `string`):

Optional keyword to search within each store — only products matching it are listed (`necklace`, `compute module`). Leave empty for the whole catalogue.

## `productSortBy` (type: `string`):

Order of the products within each store.

## `currency` (type: `string`):

3-letter ISO 4217 code the product rows' prices are rendered in — `USD`, `EUR`, `GBP`, `INR`, `JPY`, …
