## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### 🚀 Made-in-China Listings Scraper

Easily extract product listings from [Made-in-China.com](https://www.made-in-china.com), one of the world's largest B2B wholesale marketplaces. The **Made-in-China Listings Scraper** lets you gather structured product and supplier data for sourcing research, price benchmarking, and supplier discovery — with API access, scheduling, and easy exports on the Apify platform.

### ✨ Features

- 🏷️ **Comprehensive product data**: Retrieve product titles, price ranges, MOQ (minimum order quantity), images, and certifications.
- 🏭 **Supplier intelligence**: Get supplier names, profile URLs, membership tiers (Diamond/Gold Member), audited-supplier status, and locations.
- 🔍 **Keyword-based search**: Enter one or more product keywords and the scraper walks through the search results automatically.
- 📋 **Optional full product details**: Enable a single toggle to also collect complete specification tables (20+ fields), descriptions, category paths, and product videos.
- ⚡ **Fast & efficient**: Collects thousands of listings per run with automatic pagination and deduplication.

### 🛠️ How It Works

1. **Enter keywords** – Provide one or more product keywords (e.g. `laptop`, `led light`).
2. **Set the limit** – Choose how many products you want with **Max items**.
3. **(Optional) Include product details** – Turn on **Include product details** to fetch full specifications for every product.
4. **Run the scraper** – Start the run and download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

### ⚙️ Input

```json
{
    "keywords": ["laptop"],
    "maxItems": 50,
    "includeProductDetails": false
}
````

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `keywords` | array | Product keywords to search for. Each keyword is searched separately. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of products to scrape in total (default: 50). |
| `includeProductDetails` | boolean | Also visit each product's page for full specs, description, and category (default: off). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. The default configuration works well. |

### 📊 Sample Output Data

```json
{
    "productId": "TJFUAoBPEOkZ",
    "title": "New Design 15.6 Inch New LCD Screen Laptop Low Price Cheap Student & Education Laptop Computer with Fingerprint Backlight",
    "productUrl": "https://vitekfactory.en.made-in-china.com/product/TJFUAoBPEOkZ/China-New-Design-15-6-Inch-New-LCD-Screen-Laptop.html",
    "price": "US$135.00-158.00",
    "minPrice": 135,
    "maxPrice": 158,
    "currency": "USD",
    "moq": "10 Pieces",
    "supplierName": "Shenzhen Vitek Electronics Co., Ltd.",
    "supplierUrl": "https://vitekfactory.en.made-in-china.com",
    "membershipTier": "Diamond Member",
    "isAuditedSupplier": true,
    "securedTrading": true,
    "location": "Guangdong, China",
    "certifications": ["CE certified"],
    "image": "https://image.made-in-china.com/43f34j00AOmorCfgQSbM/New-Design-Laptop.webp",
    "images": ["https://image.made-in-china.com/43f34j00AOmorCfgQSbM/New-Design-Laptop.webp"],
    "keyword": "laptop"
}
```

With **Include product details** enabled, each item additionally contains `specifications` (20+ key/value pairs such as model number, CPU, RAM, weight), `description`, `categoryPath`, `availability`, and `videoUrl`.

### 📋 Output Fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `productId` | Unique product identifier |
| `title` | Product title |
| `price`, `minPrice`, `maxPrice`, `currency` | Price range as shown on the listing |
| `moq` | Minimum order quantity |
| `supplierName`, `supplierUrl` | Supplier company and profile link |
| `membershipTier` | Supplier membership level (Diamond/Gold Member) |
| `isAuditedSupplier` | Whether the supplier was audited by a third-party agency |
| `securedTrading` | Whether the product supports payment protection |
| `location` | Supplier province/country |
| `certifications` | Product certifications (CE, etc.) |
| `images` | Product image URLs |
| `specifications`\* | Full specification table (*details mode only) |
| `description`, `categoryPath`, `videoUrl`* | Extra product info (\*details mode only) |

### 💰 How much does it cost to scrape Made-in-China.com?

The Actor uses transparent pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for the data you receive:

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Product listing (search result) | **$0.001** per item |
| Product detail (full specifications) | **$0.004** per item |

A typical run collecting 1,000 product listings costs about **$1.00**, or **$4.00** with full product details. There is no charge for starting the Actor. New Apify users can try it with the free plan credits.

### 💡 Tips

- Keep **Include product details** off when you only need prices, MOQs, and supplier info — it's 4× cheaper and several times faster.
- Use multiple specific keywords (e.g. `gaming laptop`, `mini pc`) rather than one broad keyword to get better product coverage.
- Schedule the Actor to run daily or weekly to track price and supplier changes over time.

### ❓ FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape Made-in-China.com?**
This scraper collects only publicly available business data (product listings and supplier information). It does not extract any personal or private data. Always make sure your use of scraped data complies with applicable laws and the target website's terms of service.

**How many products can I scrape?**
Each keyword typically has thousands of products available across paginated search results. Set `maxItems` to control the total.

**The scraper missed a field on some products — why?**
Some listings don't display every field (e.g. price can be negotiable). Missing fields are returned as `null` so your data structure stays consistent.

**Need a custom solution?**
If you need additional fields, category crawling, or supplier-page scraping, open an issue in the **Issues** tab — feedback and feature requests are welcome.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Product keywords to search for on Made-in-China.com, e.g. <code>laptop</code> or <code>led light</code>. Each keyword is searched separately.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of product listings to scrape in total (across all keywords).

## `includeProductDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the scraper also visits each product's detail page to extract full specifications, description, category path, and video URL. This requires one extra request per product, so runs take longer and cost more.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings used for scraping. The default datacenter proxies work well for this site.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "laptop"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "includeProductDetails": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```
