Alibaba Scraper

Turn any Alibaba.com search into a supplier shortlist: price range, MOQ, certifications, supplier badges and ratings on every row, ready to sort. 100 products in 4 seconds, no Alibaba account needed.

How it works

1. You type keywords, as in Alibaba's search bar, or paste Alibaba pages. wireless earbuds, led strip lights, yoga mat, or a product or search address copied from your browser. Add a price range, a MOQ ceiling or a verified-supplier filter if you already know how you source.
2. One row comes back per product. 40 fields: identity, USD price range, MOQ and unit, discount, dispatch days, certifications, sponsored flag, review and service scores, supplier name, country, years, gold and verified badges, response rate, transaction level, export markets, images, the keyword and the rank. Ready for a spreadsheet, a database or an AI pipeline.

✨ Why teams choose this over other Alibaba scrapers

Comparing suppliers by opening forty product cards one at a time? Running a scraper that hands back the price range as one text string you cannot sort? Paying a deposit to a supplier whose response rate you never saw?

• 📊 40 fields per row, twice the 20 of the devcake products scraper. This one returns 40 fields from the listing alone, 38 filled on an average row: certifications, dispatch days, response rate, transaction level, export markets, main products and the sponsored flag are all there without a second run.
• 🔢 Numbers you can sort. priceMin and priceMax are numbers in US dollars with the currency in its own field, moq is an integer with the unit beside it, scores and rates are decimals. No "300 pieces" or "98.6%" strings to clean before a pivot table.
• 🔍 Filters that cost nothing. Price range, MOQ ceiling and verified suppliers are checked on the listing before a row is counted. A run for products under 5 dollars with a MOQ of 10 or less from verified suppliers returned 30 rows after screening 508 products, and only the 30 count.
• 📢 Ads flagged, ranking kept. Every row says whether it was a paid placement and at which position and page it appeared, so you can separate organic ranking from sponsored listings when you study a market.
• 🏭 The supplier on the same row. Name, id, profile URL, country, years on Alibaba, gold and verified badges, main products, export markets, response rate, transaction level and logo, next to the product. A Suppliers view of the dataset shows those columns alone.
• 📄 Price tiers and lead times when you want them. Turn on the product page option to add the price by quantity band, the production lead times, product attributes, weight and size, and the supplier's on-time delivery rate, staff count, orders of the last six months and trade assurance amount.
• 🔗 Keywords or pasted pages, in one run. Paste a product page and get one full row with its price tiers, lead times, attributes and supplier figures; paste a search page and it is read like its keyword. The two most used Alibaba scrapers on the Store take keywords only.
• 🔓 No account, no login, no API key. Type a keyword and run. The scraper reads what any visitor of Alibaba.com sees.

📥 Input parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
keywords	array	["wireless earbuds", "led strip lights"]	What to search, one keyword per line, as you would type it on Alibaba. 40 products per page, in the order buyers see them.
startUrls	array		Alibaba.com pages pasted from your browser. A product page (/product-detail/..._1601721674813.html) gives one full row with price tiers, lead times, attributes and supplier figures. A search page (/trade/search?SearchText=yoga+mat, /premium/yoga-mat.html, /showroom/yoga-mat.html) is read like its keyword. Pasted products are delivered whatever the filters.
maxItems	integer	100	How many rows to save for the whole run, all keywords together.

🔍 Filters

Field	Type	Default	Description
minPrice	number		Lowest starting price you accept, in US dollars.
maxPrice	number		Highest starting price you accept, in US dollars.
maxMoq	integer		Largest minimum order quantity you accept. 10 keeps suppliers open to sample-size orders.
verifiedSupplierOnly	boolean	false	Keep only products from suppliers holding the Verified Supplier badge. About half of the listings pass.

📄 Output

Field	Type	Default	Description
includeDetails	boolean	false	Read each product's page for price tiers, attributes, category path, lead times, weight and size, and the supplier's operating figures. About one second per product.
debugMode	boolean	false	Adds detailed lines to the run log.

Filters read the value shown in the listing; a product without that value is left out. A keyword stops at its last page, or after five pages in a row that the filters emptied. Pasted pages are read first, then the keywords; a product met twice is saved once.

Facts worth knowing before you build on the output:

• id and url are permanent. The address opens the product page on Alibaba.com.
• priceMin and priceMax are the USD range the listing shows, the price of the largest and smallest quantity bands. priceTiers gives each band when product pages are read.
• moq is the minimum order in unit (piece, meter, pair, set...). dispatchDays is the fastest production time the listing promises.
• discountPercent is set only while a promotion runs. isSponsored is true for paid placements; rank and page are the position in the keyword listing, ads included.
• reviewScore and reviewCount are the supplier's store rating and review count; productScore, shippingScore and supplierServiceScore are its three sub-scores out of 5. transactionLevel is Alibaba's diamond score of the supplier's transaction volume, responseRate a percentage.
• exportMarkets and certifications are null when the listing shows none. A field the source does not give is null, never an empty string.
• Image URLs point to Alibaba's image CDN and stay valid for months. hasVideo says whether the listing carries a product video.
• Dates are RFC 3339 in UTC.

📈 Performance

Run	Rows	Time
Two keywords, listing only (the default input)	100	4 s
One keyword under 5 dollars, MOQ 10 or less, verified suppliers (13 pages screened)	30	25 s
One keyword with product pages	12	5 s
Eight keywords, listing only	400	about 45 s

A page of 40 products costs one read; a product page costs one more, read four at a time. Rows are saved page by page, so a run you stop early keeps what it has read.

💾 Data export

Results are available on the run's dataset page as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS and HTML table. The Products view shows title, price range, MOQ, unit, supplier, country, rating and URL; the Suppliers view shows the supplier columns.

💡 Tips for best results

1. Search in English, the way buyers do. wireless earbuds returns the listing an English-speaking buyer sees. Chinese keywords are accepted too, but English ones match the largest catalogue.
2. Use several keywords to widen a market. solar panel, solar inverter and solar battery give three different listings. A common keyword runs to thousands of products, so maxItems decides how deep each one goes.
3. Filter before you count. maxPrice, maxMoq and verifiedSupplierOnly are applied before a row is saved. A tight filter reads more pages for the same number of rows, and the log tells you how many products were screened out.
4. Leave includeDetails off for price lists, on for negotiations. The listing already carries the price range, MOQ, supplier badges and scores. Turn the product page on when you need the price by quantity band, the lead times or the supplier's on-time delivery rate.
5. Rank by responseRate and supplierYears, not by price alone. A supplier answering 98 percent of enquiries with 10 years on Alibaba is a safer first contact than the cheapest row. Drop isSponsored rows if you want the organic order.

❓ FAQ

What does this scraper extract? Products from Alibaba.com keyword listings: title, USD price range, MOQ and unit, discount, dispatch days, certifications, sponsored flag, review and service scores, and the supplier with its badges, years, response rate, transaction level, main products and export markets. Product pages add price tiers, attributes, lead times, weight and size, and the supplier's operating figures.

Do I need an Alibaba account? No. The scraper reads what any visitor of Alibaba.com sees. No login, no account, no API key.

How many products does a keyword return? 40 per page, up to 256 pages, in the order Alibaba ranks them for a buyer. maxItems caps the run; a keyword stops at its last page or after five pages in a row that the filters emptied.

Are prices in US dollars? Yes. priceMin and priceMax are the USD range shown in the listing, with currency set to USD. Price tiers by quantity come with includeDetails.

Can I filter by price, MOQ or supplier level? Yes, in the run itself: minPrice, maxPrice, maxMoq and verifiedSupplierOnly. Every other field is a number, a boolean or a plain string you can filter on after the run.

Why are some product page fields still null with includeDetails on? Alibaba serves product pages to only some connections. When a page cannot be read, the row keeps its 40 listing fields and the product page fields stay null; after a few unreadable pages in a row the run stops asking and finishes with the listing. The log says how many rows were saved with listing fields only.

How fresh is the data? Live. Every run reads Alibaba at that moment; nothing is cached. The scrapedAt field on each row says exactly when.

Can I scrape several keywords in one run? Yes. Keywords are read one after the other, a product that appears under two keywords is saved once, and maxItems caps the whole run.

What is a Verified Supplier, a Gold Supplier and Trade Assurance? A Verified Supplier had its company inspected by a third party for Alibaba. A Gold Supplier pays Alibaba's supplier membership. Trade Assurance is Alibaba's order protection programme. The row carries all three as booleans.

Does it return supplier emails or phone numbers? No. Alibaba does not publish them. The row carries the supplier's profile URL, where enquiries are sent through Alibaba.

Are image and product URLs permanent? Product and supplier URLs are permanent. Image URLs point to Alibaba's image CDN and stay valid for months.

What happens when a keyword returns nothing? The keyword is noted in the log and the run continues. A run that finds nothing says why on its status: no product matched the filters, or no product matched the keyword.
