🏭 Alibaba Email & Supplier Scraper Plus

Find Alibaba suppliers and extract genuine business contact data for lead generation. This actor discovers Alibaba supplier/company/product pages either by keyword (via Google site:alibaba.com search) or from URLs you paste directly, then extracts real, contiguous emails and validated phone numbers from each result — and can optionally fetch the actual Alibaba company profile for supplier trust signals.

Unlike a naive email scraper, this tool never manufactures a contact from prose. An email is emitted only when a genuine local@domain string actually appears (no whitespace around @), and every email carries an emailConfidence label. Phone numbers are validated with libphonenumber — random digit runs (IDs, counts, prices) are rejected, not turned into fake phone numbers.

What it does

• 🔍 Keyword discovery — each keyword runs a site:alibaba.com "keyword" Google search (GOOGLE_SERP proxy) and collects the matching Alibaba result pages.
• 🔗 Direct URLs — paste Alibaba supplier/company/product URLs to scrape them without a search.
• 📧 Genuine email extraction — contiguous emails only, with emailConfidence (high = from a mailto: link or next to a contact label, medium = found in the snippet). Prose such as "the part before @ gmail.com" is rejected.
• ☎️ Validated phones — only internationally-formatted, libphonenumber-valid numbers, output in E.164.
• 🏭 Company profile (optional) — visits the Alibaba supplier minisite (Chrome-impersonated + residential proxy) for the real company name, country/city, business type, gold-supplier years, verified & trade-assurance flags, response rate and review score. Alibaba sits behind Akamai, so these fields populate only when the page is reachable and are left null (never faked) when it is blocked.
• 🧹 Data quality — global cross-keyword de-duplication (by email + company), free-mail exclusion toggle, exclude-keywords filter, email-domain filter.

Billing

You are charged one row_result only for a row that carries a genuine validated contact (a real email or a valid phone) or a real fetched company record. Empty or false-positive rows are never emitted and never charged.

Honest coverage note

This tool extracts contacts that are publicly visible in Google snippets and on Alibaba pages. In practice Alibaba renders virtually all supplier contact details client-side behind login / the "Contact Supplier" message flow, so a genuine email/phone is exposed to a plain HTTP fetch on only a very small fraction of results (in live testing on LED-supplier keywords, direct-email coverage was effectively 0%). The actor therefore reliably delivers the real structured supplier record (verified company name, gold-supplier years, verified/trade-assurance flags, review score) for each genuine minisite, and captures a business email/phone/website only when one is genuinely present in the page or on the supplier's own linked website — it reports the real counts in the run log and never inflates them with fabricated data. If you need guaranteed direct email/phone at scale, Alibaba's on-platform messaging is the intended channel; this actor will never invent a contact to fill the gap.
