Alibaba Supplier Search Scraper & API - Verified Manufacturers

This Alibaba supplier search scraper finds the suppliers behind any product keyword on Alibaba.com and returns one clean row per supplier: company name, country, manufacturer or trading company, years on Alibaba, Verified / Verified PRO / Gold / Trade Assurance flags, inspection company (SGS, TÜV, Intertek ...), store rating and sub-scores, response rate, transactions, online revenue band, staff count, factory size, main products and export markets, plus what they sell for your keyword: number of matching products, price range, lowest MOQ and up to 5 sample products. Use it as an Alibaba supplier finder, an Alibaba manufacturer list builder, a B2B sourcing lead generator or an unofficial Alibaba supplier API from your own code, Make, Zapier or n8n. $0.60 per 1,000 suppliers, no start fee: a 50-supplier shortlist costs $0.03.

Type a product (yoga mat, custom tote bags, cnc machining parts), pick your filters (Trade Assurance only, manufacturers only, minimum years, rating, staff ...), and get a deduplicated supplier shortlist in seconds. Plain HTTP, no headless browser and no login. A 50-supplier cloud run took 35 seconds, start-up included (3.8 s of crawling in a local test).

What you get

• Company: supplier ID and name, storefront, company profile, full product list and Alibaba "Contact supplier" form links, country, logo.
• Trust signals: business type (Manufacturer / Trading Company), years on Alibaba, Verified, Verified PRO, Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance, inspection company, certification tags, star level.
• Performance: store rating out of 5 with product quality / supplier service / on-time shipment scores, review count, what buyers praise most, response rate (text and number), response time, online transactions and their value, Alibaba's online revenue band in USD.
• Size: staff count, factory size in m², main products, main export markets.
• For your keyword: rank, how many of the scanned results are theirs (matchingProducts), sponsored listings, first position in the search, product price range, lowest MOQ, total "sold" count, product categories and certifications, up to 5 sample products with link, image, price and MOQ.

No personal contact details are collected: no contact person names, phone numbers or emails. To reach a supplier, use its contactSupplierUrl (Alibaba's own inquiry form).

Use cases

• Supplier shortlists: the 20-50 best suppliers for a product, already filtered to Trade Assurance, verified manufacturers with 5+ years and a 4.5+ rating
• B2B lead generation: lists of manufacturers by product and country for sales of packaging, logistics, inspection, certification or software services to exporters
• Market mapping: who dominates a product on Alibaba (matchingProducts, sponsoredListings, revenue band, sold counts)
• Sourcing at scale: run 100 keywords at once, one row per supplier across all of them (matchedSearchTerms shows every keyword a supplier sells)
• Vetting before outreach: sort by responseRatePct, rating, yearsOnAlibaba, onlineRevenueUsd

Pricing

$0.60 per 1,000 suppliers (pay per result; one result = one supplier saved). No start fee, and Apify platform usage and proxies are included in the price. Search pages are free: suppliers dropped by your filters, duplicates across keywords and failed requests are never charged.

You get	You pay
20 suppliers (the prefilled input)	$0.012
50 suppliers	$0.03
1,000 suppliers	$0.60
10,000 suppliers	$6.00

The Apify free plan's $5 monthly credit covers about 8,300 suppliers. Platform usage is tiny because no browser runs (one request per 48 products). If you set a maximum cost per run, the actor stops cleanly when it reaches it.

Why this one

• Cheapest paid Alibaba.com supplier scraper on the Store, no start fee. Per 1,000 rows (30-day users in brackets): devcake supplier scraper (34) $1.20 + $0.001 start, ozer-studio finder (27) $4.00 + $0.05 start, blueskyscraper supplier scraper (21) $1.00, nifty.codes (11) $2.00 + $0.005 start, apt_marble supplier catalogue (9) $1.20, xtracto company scraper (7) $5.00 + start, scrapesage supplier leads (7) $5.00, apt_marble supplier finder (4) $2.00, omkar-cloud (2) $2.00 + start, one_dollar_store (1) $1.00 + start. The cheapest general Alibaba product scrapers (blackfalcondata $0.63 + $0.01 start, v0iddo $0.75, dami_studio $0.85 + start) return products, not one row per supplier. dami_studio's 1688 supplier ratings actor ($0.40 + start) returns 1688.com scores, not Alibaba.com search results, and one free-to-use Alibaba actor leaves platform usage to you.
• One row per supplier, deduplicated, with what they sell for your keyword (count, price range, lowest MOQ, samples) next to their trust signals.
• Filters that matter for sourcing: Trade Assurance, Verified, Verified PRO, Gold, manufacturers only, country, minimum years / rating / reviews / staff, product price and MOQ.
• Fast: about 4 seconds for 50 suppliers.

FAQ

Does it need a browser, cookies or an Alibaba account? No. It reads the same JSON Alibaba's search page loads, over plain HTTPS, with no login.

How is this different from your other Alibaba actors? The Alibaba Product Search Scraper returns one row per product. The Alibaba Supplier Store Scraper returns every product of chosen suppliers. This actor returns one row per supplier for a keyword: the shortlist you start from. Feed its supplierUrl column to the store scraper for full catalogs.

Why fewer suppliers than I asked for? Your filters removed the rest within the scanned pages. Raise Max search pages per keyword (up to 20) or loosen a filter. Filtered suppliers are free.

Is isManufacturer reliable? It is Alibaba's own business type code on the search card (manufacturer, trading company or both). Many factories also list themselves as trading companies, so both can be true.

Are contact names, phone numbers or emails included? No. Only the public company card is collected. Use contactSupplierUrl to message a supplier through Alibaba.

Is there an official Alibaba supplier search API? Not for buyers. The Alibaba.com Open Platform is for sellers, ISVs and approved partners, and it has no self-serve supplier search. This actor reads the public search results instead, with no account.

How much does a typical run cost? A 20-supplier shortlist costs $0.012, 50 suppliers $0.03, and 10 keywords x 50 suppliers (500 rows) $0.30. A weekly refresh of those 10 keywords costs about $1.30 a month. Suppliers removed by your filters are free.

Limits

• Up to 20 search pages per keyword (about 960 products, usually 400-600 different suppliers). Use more specific keywords to go deeper.
• Search-card data. Province, address and detailed capabilities are on the supplier's profile and store pages; use our Alibaba Supplier Store Scraper for those.
• Fill rates (50 "yoga mat" suppliers): name, country, years, Gold, Trade Assurance, response rate, main products, price range and MOQ on every row; rating 96%, revenue band 98%, star level 92%, verified 62%, factory size 60%, export markets 52%, staff and transactions 46%, response time 12%.
• Alibaba matches loosely: a narrow or misspelled keyword still returns related suppliers. Check sampleProducts when precision matters.
