How much does Alibaba Scraper cost?

Results	This actor	Most used Alibaba actors on the Store
1,000	$1.00	$1.20 to $100

Why people switch

• One flat price. Compute is included, so the bill follows the number of rows and nothing else.
• Wide supplier rows. About 45 fields per supplier: verified status, years on Alibaba, review score, on-time delivery rate, reply time, online sales, annual revenue band, factory area, staff, certifications, export regions, main categories and up to three offers with price and minimum order.
• Filters that build a shortlist. Country, verified only, manufacturers only, years on Alibaba, review score, on-time rate, certification, maximum minimum order and maximum price.
• Fast. In a test run, 1,000 suppliers took about 90 seconds and cost a fraction of a cent in compute.

Then ask, for example: "Find 30 verified yoga mat manufacturers on Alibaba with a minimum order under 500 pieces."

Switching from another Alibaba actor

Most Alibaba actors take search terms and a result limit. Here they are keywords (a list) and maxItems. Set rowType to products for one row per offered product. The core fields are companyName, companyId, countryCode, verifiedSupplier, reviewScore, products, lowestPriceUsd and lowestMoqQuantity.

Where the data comes from

Alibaba publishes supplier lists for many buying phrases as public pages at alibaba.com/supplier/<keyword>.html. Each page lists about 24 suppliers with their figures and up to three offers each, and has a second page. The actor reads those pages. It does not use Alibaba's keyword search, supplier mini sites or product pages, because Alibaba answers those with a slider verification page, and this actor does not try to solve it.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
keywords	list of text	none	Buying phrases, one per line, or full alibaba.com/supplier/...html addresses. Required.
rowType	text	suppliers	suppliers (one row per supplier) or products (one row per offered product).
tryVariants	yes/no	yes	If a keyword has no readable page, also try it with manufacturer, supplier, wholesale price or factory added.
followRelated	yes/no	no	Also read other supplier pages that Alibaba links from each page.
maxPagesPerKeyword	number	3	Pages of each list to read (1 to 5).
countries	list of text	none	Two letter country codes, for example CN, IN, VN.
verifiedOnly, manufacturersOnly	yes/no	no	Keep Verified suppliers or manufacturers only.
minYears, minReviewScore, minOnTimeDeliveryRate	number	none	Minimum years on Alibaba, review score (out of 5) and on-time delivery percent.
certifications	list of text	none	Keep suppliers that list any of these, for example CE or ISO.
maxMoq, maxPriceUsd	number	none	Keep offers with a minimum order and a unit price at or below these values.
maxItems	number	100	Total rows for the run. Minimum 10, maximum 100,000.
proxyConfiguration	object	off	The actor connects directly. After two refusals in a row it uses the Apify datacenter proxy by itself.

  "countries": ["CN"],
  "verifiedOnly": true,
  "minYears": 3,

Limits

• Coverage per keyword is limited. Alibaba publishes these pages for some buying phrases, not for all. In tests, short generic phrases such as "solar panel" or "custom t shirt" often had no readable page, while longer phrases ("solar panel wholesale price", "custom t shirt manufacturer") did. Pages Alibaba shows in a different layout are skipped. Both cases are counted in the run summary. Turn on Try keyword variants or Follow related pages to reach more.
• A list holds about 30 to 70 suppliers. For more rows, give more keywords.
• Up to three offers per supplier, with the price range and the minimum order shown on the list. No price ladder by quantity, no SKU variants, no specs and no lead time: those sit on product pages, which Alibaba protects with a verification page.
• No contact details. Alibaba does not show phone numbers or email addresses on these pages.
• No login, no private data. Only what a visitor sees.
• Alibaba may change these pages. If it starts showing a verification page, the actor stops after three refused requests in a row and tells you in the log.
• Requests go out one at a time, at least one second apart, with the name of this actor in the User-Agent.
• If Apify moves a long run to another server, the actor carries on from a saved progress record and does not deliver a supplier twice.

FAQ

What is the cheapest Alibaba scraper on Apify? The four most used Alibaba actors charge $1.20 to $100 per 1,000 results (checked 27 October 2026). This one is $1 per 1,000, with platform usage included.

How much does it cost to scrape 10,000 Alibaba suppliers? $10, plus $0.001 per run. A run that reads 1,000 suppliers uses under one cent of compute, and you do not pay it: it is included.

Do I pay for compute or proxy on top? No. The price covers the run. There is no residential proxy and no browser.

Why do some keywords return nothing? Alibaba has no readable supplier list for every phrase. Check the run summary (noLandingPage and otherLayout) and try a longer buying phrase, for example "yoga mat manufacturer".

Can it return the full Alibaba product page with price ladder and SKUs? No. Alibaba shows a slider verification page for product pages when they are requested without a browser, and this actor does not solve it.

Is it legal? The actor reads public pages that Alibaba serves without a login. Alibaba's robots.txt does not disallow the /supplier/ pages it reads. Alibaba's Terms of Use limit systematic collection of site content, and the terms page could not be read automatically when this actor was built, so check the current terms and your local law before you use the data commercially. The data is supplier information, not personal data, and no contact names are collected.

Is this an official Alibaba product? No. It is an independent tool that reads public Alibaba pages.

Do I need an Apify account? Yes. Actors run from an Apify account, and a free account is enough to start: it includes $5 of platform usage every month. You can sign up here. This is a referral link and it costs you nothing.

Is there a limit on the free plan? Yes. A run started from a free plan account delivers the first 10 results, then ends with a message and a link to the plans. Any paid plan returns everything you ask for, up to your own limit. The price per result is the same on every plan.
