## 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.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).
# README
## Made-in-China.com Scraper
Extract product listings, technical specifications, pricing, MOQ, and supplier profiles from [Made-in-China.com](https://www.made-in-china.com) — the world's largest B2B marketplace for Chinese manufacturers.
> **No browser required.** This Actor uses lightweight HTTP requests with TLS impersonation, making it fast, cost-efficient, and stable.
---
### What does it do?
Made-in-China.com hosts millions of industrial product listings across categories like construction machinery, automotive parts, electronics, chemicals, and more. This Actor lets you:
- Search any keyword and paginate through all results
- Extract prices, MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity), and payment terms per product
- Pull full technical specifications from product detail pages
- Enrich results with verified supplier company profiles (business type, employees, certifications)
- Fetch buyer reviews with ratings, text, country, and date
---
### Use cases
- **Price intelligence** — Track pricing and MOQ for machinery, parts, or commodities across thousands of suppliers
- **Supplier discovery** — Build lists of verified manufacturers for a specific product category
- **Market research** — Understand which countries source specific products, at what price points
- **Competitive analysis** — Monitor competitors' product portfolios and pricing
- **Procurement automation** — Feed supplier data into sourcing pipelines or ERP systems
- **Investment research** — Identify trending product categories and manufacturing hubs in China

### Performance & cost
| Mode | Products/run | Approx. run time |
|------|-------------|------------------|
| Search only (`fetch_product_detail: false`) | ~400 (10 pages) | ~2 min |
| Search + Product detail | ~400 | ~15–25 min |
| Search + Product + Supplier | ~400 | ~30–45 min |
Use residential proxies (CN) for best results — some pages may be restricted for datacenter IPs.
***
### Notes
- **Pagination**: `max_pages` controls how many search result pages to scrape. Each page contains approximately 40 product listings.
- **Deduplication**: Supplier profiles are fetched only once per unique company URL, even if the company appears multiple times in search results.
- **Rate limiting**: Use `request_delay` ≥ 1.5 seconds to avoid triggering anti-bot measures. The default is conservative and safe for most runs.
- **Proxy**: For large runs or when scraping from outside China, enabling residential proxies (CN) significantly improves success rate.
***
### Legal
This Actor accesses publicly available product and supplier information from Made-in-China.com's website in compliance with standard web scraping practices. It does not bypass login walls, paywalls, or any form of authentication. Users are responsible for ensuring their use of the extracted data complies with Made-in-China.com's Terms of Service and applicable data protection regulations.
# Actor input Schema
## `keyword` (type: `string`):
The product to search for on Made-in-China.com.
Pick from the dropdown, or type any term you want.
Tips for good results:
• Use English and singular form (excavator, not excavators)
• Use industrial / B2B terms (hydraulic pump, CNC machine, injection molding machine)
• Start broad, then refine (solar panel → monocrystalline solar panel 450W)
• Spaces are fine — they're URL-encoded automatically
## `max_pages` (type: `integer`):
Number of search-result pages to fetch. Each page returns ~40 products.
Start small: 2 pages (~80 products) is enough to verify the output. Scale up once you're happy with the data.
## `fetch_product_detail` (type: `boolean`):
Visit every product page to extract full specifications, payment terms, shipping port and image URLs. Recommended on for most use cases. Turn off for quick listing-only scrapes.
## `fetch_supplier` (type: `boolean`):
Visit each unique supplier's company profile to extract business type, employees, year established, certifications and gold / verified membership status. Adds ~2× to run time. Useful for supplier discovery.
## `fetch_reviews` (type: `boolean`):
Fetch buyer reviews (rating, text, country, date) per product via the Made-in-China reviews API.
## `request_delay` (type: `number`):
Seconds to wait between HTTP requests. Higher = safer against rate limiting, lower = faster.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"keyword": "hydraulic excavator",
"max_pages": 1,
"fetch_product_detail": true,
"fetch_supplier": false,
"fetch_reviews": false,
"request_delay": 1.5
}
```

run_input = {
"keyword": "hydraulic excavator",
"max_pages": 1,
"fetch_product_detail": False,
}
# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("rastriq/made-in-china-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
