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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Cheapest Made-in-China Scraper — B2B supplier search & product data ### The price you see is the price you pay Scrape **Made-in-China.com** — one of the largest B2B supplier marketplaces — at a low, honest **pay-per-result** price. **No start fee, no subscription, no metered surprises.** Extract **search listings** and **full product details** including tiered wholesale pricing, minimum order quantity (MOQ), full spec tables, image galleries, and supplier trust signals. Perfect for **B2B lead generation, sourcing, price benchmarking and market research** — the data Made-in-China exposes per product and per supplier is unusually rich, and almost nobody has built a good scraper for it. ### What you can scrape | Mode | What you get | |------|--------------| | 🔍 `search` | Product cards for any search term: id, name, price range (min/max), currency, MOQ, key specs, thumbnail, supplier name & showroom URL, and trust flags (Diamond Member, Audited Supplier, Secured Trading, 360° tour). ~30 products per page, multiple pages. | | 📦 `product` | Full detail for specific product URLs: name, description, SKU/MPN, unit price, **tiered wholesale pricing**, MOQ, rating, the full spec table, image gallery, category trail, and the supplier's name, location and year established. | | 🩺 `selftest` | Validates both endpoints above, free. Schedule it as a health check. | ### Why this one - 💰 **Pure pay-per-result** — a flat price per item with **no start fee** and **no subscription**. We absorb the Apify compute/proxy cost instead of billing it on top, so the per-result price **is** the whole bill. - ⚡ **Fast and light.** - 🧾 **Accurate structured data** — product core fields, the full spec table, tiered pricing and the supplier block all come back clean and typed. - 🧱 **No login, no cookies** — only public pages; nothing to expire. The default Apify proxy works for product pages; the search endpoint may require a residential proxy at higher volume, handled automatically. - 🩺 **Self-monitoring** — every run validates both endpoints' output shape, so breakages are caught and fixed fast. ### Example input Search the top results for a term: ```json { "mode": "search", "query": "led high bay light", "searchPages": 2, "maxItems": 60 } ```` Full details for specific products (full Made-in-China product URL required — the supplier subdomain is part of the address): ```json { "mode": "product", "productUrls": [ "https://alvaled.en.made-in-china.com/product/rahpWFfYaMcu/China-150W-Dimmable-LED-UFO-Warehouse-High-Bay-Light-Fixture.html" ] } ``` ### Output Results are written to the default dataset, one record per product. The `search` view and `product` view (see the run's **Output** tab) each show the most useful columns; the raw JSON below is the full record. #### `search` — one record per product card Real record

The default Apify proxy works for product pages; search may use a residential proxy at higher volume, handled for you. Advanced users can override it to force a specific proxy group. - Product mode needs the **full product URL** (the supplier subdomain is part of the address); the URLs returned by `search` mode work directly as `product` input. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to scrape. "search" collects product cards from a Made-in-China search; "product" fetches full details for specific product URLs; "selftest" checks that every endpoint still works (for monitoring). ## `query` (type: `string`): Term to search on Made-in-China.com. Used only in "search" mode. ## `searchPages` (type: `integer`): How many pages of search results to fetch (~30 products per page). Used only in "search" mode. ## `productUrls` (type: `array`): List of full Made-in-China product URLs (https://.en.made-in-china.com/product//...). Used only in "product" mode. A full URL is required — the supplier subdomain is part of the address. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape across the whole run. Minimum 10 in search mode — a Made-in-China search page returns ~30 products in one request, so a run of at least 10 keeps the per-result price at its floor. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Leave empty (recommended) — the default Apify proxy works for product pages; search may use a residential proxy at higher volume, handled automatically. Set this only to force a specific proxy. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "query": "solar panel", "searchPages": 1, "productUrls": [ "https://alvaled.en.made-in-china.com/product/rahpWFfYaMcu/China-150W-Dimmable-LED-UFO-Warehouse-High-Bay-Light-Fixture.html" ], "maxItems": 60 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `search` (type: `string`): No description ## `product` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
