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 ### πŸš€ Chinagoods Image Search Scraper Find Yiwu market products from a photo. The **Chinagoods Image Search Scraper** takes image URLs and returns the visually similar products on Chinagoods β€” the official online platform of the Yiwu International Trade City, the world's largest small-commodity wholesale market β€” with wholesale price in CNY, quantity price tiers, minimum order, sales, supplier, the supplier's **physical booth location in Yiwu** and a similarity score. Built for sourcing toys, accessories, household goods and other small commodities straight from Yiwu suppliers. ### ✨ Features - πŸ“· **Photo in, products out**: Any direct image URL (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or AVIF up to 10 MB) or data: URL; one search per image. - 🎯 **Similarity-ranked**: Each image returns Chinagoods's own set of visually similar products (usually 30–40, cut off by similarity), with a similarity score per match and the area of the photo that was matched. - πŸ’° **Wholesale pricing**: Price per piece in CNY, quantity price tiers, minimum order quantity and market price. - 🏬 **Supplier and booth**: Shop name, shop page, shop level and years on the market, plus the market district, gate, floor, street and booth number β€” ready for a visit to Yiwu. - πŸ“ˆ **Demand signals**: Units sold, orders, favourites, views, stock, video and new-product flags. - πŸ”€ **Sorting**: Best match, sales, or price low/high β€” the same options as the Chinagoods image search page. - πŸ’Έ **Pay per search**: One price per image searched β€” images that fail to load or return no matches are free. ### πŸ› οΈ How It Works 1. **Paste image URLs** – Product photos from your catalogue, a competitor's store, or any page. 2. **Pick sort and depth** – Sort order and how many matches to keep per image. 3. **Run the scraper** – Get one row per matching product, grouped by the image that found it. ### πŸ’° Pricing | Event | Price | What you get | | ------------ | -------: | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Image search | $0.02 | One image searched, its full set of matches (up to 100) | | Actor start | $0.00005 | Once per run | 100 images cost $2.00 (plus $0.00005 per run). Images that cannot be loaded or return no matches are not charged. ### πŸ“₯ Input | Field | Type | Description | | -------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `imageUrls` | array | Image URLs (or data: URLs) to search with. Empty β†’ an example image is used. | | `maxResultsPerImage` | integer | Matches kept per image. Default `40`, maximum `100`. | | `sort` | string | `best_match` (default), `sales`, `price_asc`, `price_desc`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Keep the default. | ### πŸ“Š Sample Output Data One row per match.
