## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Made-in-China Scraper: Products, Prices, MOQ and Suppliers

[![30 Made-in-China products with price tiers and supplier details in 33 seconds](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/cUXz95yxflDho41nn/records/made-in-china-scraper-hero.png)](https://console.apify.com/actors/IFOCOwP0f3trFi9tx/input?fpr=ymnoit\&utm_source=apify-readme\&utm_medium=referral)

From **The Mine Works**, makers of [Amazon Product Scraper](https://apify.com/themineworks/amazon-products?fpr=ymnoit\&utm_source=apify-readme\&utm_medium=referral) and [B2B Leads Finder](https://apify.com/themineworks/b2b-leads-finder?fpr=ymnoit\&utm_source=apify-readme\&utm_medium=referral), with over 140,000 runs across 170+ public actors.

Updated 20 Oct 2026: first release. Keyword search and pasted search links, quantity price tiers, MOQ, specs, supplier business type, province, membership, audit badge and years on the platform, one flat row per product. Bookmark this Actor on its Store page so it is one click away next time.

### Why choose this actor?

- **The numbers a buyer compares, in columns.** Every row has the price range split into `price_low` and `price_high`, the minimum order split into `moq_quantity` and `moq_unit`, and, with product pages on, the quantity price tiers (100 to 499 pieces at one price, 500 to 1,999 at another). Sort a whole search by price or MOQ in a spreadsheet without cleaning text.
- **The supplier next to the product.** Company name and showroom link, Manufacturer/Factory or Trading Company, province, Diamond or Gold member, the year it joined and years on the platform, Audited Supplier and Industry-leading Factory badges, capability stars, rating and verified labels such as OEM Services. In our test runs `member_since` was filled on 210 of 210 rows.
- **Pay per product, nothing for errors.** Links that are not Made-in-China searches, the summary row and duplicates found by two searches are never charged. No Made-in-China account, cookies or API key.

### Try it in one minute

Paste this into the input (JSON view) and press Start. It returns the first 30 products for "solar panel" with their product pages opened. It took 33 seconds in our test run:

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["solar panel"],
  "maxItems": 30
}
```

Put several keywords on separate lines to run several searches at once, or paste a search link from your browser into `startUrls`. A product that two of your searches find is delivered once.

Apify's free plan includes $5 of credit every month, which covers about 1,800 products at this actor's price.

#### Copy to your AI assistant

```text
themineworks/made-in-china-scraper on Apify. Searches Made-in-China.com (Chinese B2B suppliers) by keyword or search link and returns one flat row per product with price range, quantity price tiers, MOQ, specs and the supplier, with no login. Call ApifyClient("TOKEN").actor("themineworks/made-in-china-scraper").call(run_input={"searchQueries": ["solar panel"], "maxItems": 100}), then client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items. Give searchQueries (list of keywords) or startUrls (list of made-in-china.com productdirectory.do or products-search links) or both; up to 100 searches. Optional: maxItems (default 50, 1 to 5000, per search), includeDetails (default true; opens each product page for price_tiers, member_since, years_on_platform, specifications, payment_terms, port, images, category_path). Product rows have no _type field and carry product_id, title, product_url, image_url, image_count, price_low, price_high, price_currency, price_raw, price_type, price_tiers (min_quantity, max_quantity, quantity_raw, unit, price, currency), moq_quantity, moq_unit, moq_raw, attributes, specifications, category_path, payment_terms, port, incoterms, lead_time, main_products, main_markets, export_year, supplier_address, supplier_name, supplier_url, supplier_id, supplier_subdomain, supplier_type, is_manufacturer, is_trading_company, supplier_location, supplier_province, supplier_country, membership, member_since, years_on_platform, is_audited_supplier, audit_report_url, is_leading_factory, capability_stars, supplier_rating, verified_labels, verified_labels_total, secured_trading, sample_available, rush_order, has_3d_view, has_video, is_sponsored, details_scraped, keyword, search_url, page, position, scraped_at. Each run also writes one row with _type "summary", one with _type "info" when products were delivered, and a row with _type "error" for each input that could not be read; none of these is charged. Full spec: GET https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/themineworks~made-in-china-scraper/builds/default (Bearer TOKEN), which returns inputSchema and readme.

```

### Key features

- **Keyword or link.** Type keywords the way you would in the Made-in-China search box, or paste a `productdirectory.do` search link or a `products-search/hot-china-products` catalog link. Pages after the first are followed from the site's own pager, 30 products a page.
- **Quantity price tiers.** With `includeDetails` on (the default), each product page is opened and its price ladder is returned as `price_tiers`, one entry per quantity break with its minimum, maximum, unit and price. 88 of 210 rows in our test had tiers; the rest list one price range for every quantity.
- **Supplier profile fields.** Business type, province and country, membership level and the year it joined, years on the platform, audit report link, payment terms, port, Incoterms, lead time, main products and main markets, as the supplier lists them on the product page.
- **Card attributes and full specs.** `attributes` holds the 4 to 6 key facts shown on the search card (Warranty, Material, Certification). `specifications` holds the whole Basic Info table of the product page (model number, HS code, package size, production capacity and so on).
- **Sponsored or organic.** `is_sponsored` marks the paid placements Made-in-China puts at the top of each results page, so you can keep or drop them.
- **Stops cleanly.** Two pages in a row with no new products end a search; six failed or blocked pages in a row end the run; the run stops before its time limit and keeps every row it read. The summary row says why.

### How to use it

#### Basic: one product, many suppliers

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["bamboo toothbrush"],
  "maxItems": 300
}
```

Ten pages of results, one row per listing. Sort by `price_low` to see the cheapest offers, or by `moq_quantity` to find suppliers that take small orders.

#### Sourcing shortlist: manufacturers only, in one province

Run a search, then filter the rows on `is_manufacturer: true`, `is_audited_supplier: true` and `supplier_province` (for example Zhejiang or Guangdong). `years_on_platform` and `capability_stars` help rank what is left. Each row carries `supplier_url`, the supplier's showroom, to contact them.

#### Price benchmarking across keywords

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["led high bay light", "led panel light", "led flood light"],
  "maxItems": 150
}
```

Each keyword is its own search, labelled in `keyword`. Use `price_tiers` to compare the price at the quantity you plan to order, not only the headline range.

#### Category research from a catalog page

```json
{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.made-in-china.com/products-search/hot-china-products/LED_Light.html"],
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

`category_path` gives the category of each product (for example Lights & Lighting, LED Interior Lighting, LED High Bay Light), so you can count listings and suppliers per sub category.

#### Fast card-only export

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["office chair"],
  "maxItems": 1000,
  "includeDetails": false
}
```

Rows come from the search cards only: price range, MOQ, card attributes, supplier, location, badges. In our test, 150 products took 33 seconds this way. Same price per product.

### Input parameters

| `keyword`, `search_url`, `page`, `position` | The search that found the product, its results page, and its place in that search |
| `scraped_at` | When the row was written |

**Summary row** (`_type: "summary"`, never charged): `searches_requested`, `searches_read`, `searches_failed`, `searches_not_started`, `pages_read`, `products_found`, `products_delivered`, `charged_for`, `duplicates_skipped`, `details_requested`, `details_ok`, `details_failed`, `http_requests`, `http_megabytes`, `ended_on_deadline`, `stopped_by_max_cost`, `stopped_by_block_guard`, `shortfall_reason` when fewer products came back than asked, and `per_search`, one entry per search with `pages`, `products_found`, `products_delivered` and why it `stopped`. The same summary is saved as the `OUTPUT` record of the run.

**Error rows** (`_type: "error"`, never charged): one per input that could not be read, with `error_type` (`invalid_url`, `not_found`, `blocked`, `fetch_error`), `identifier`, `reason` and `http_status`.

```

### Pricing

Pay per event: you pay for the products you receive, plus a flat $0.003 per run, whatever memory you choose. Opening product pages costs nothing extra.

| Event | When it is charged | Free plan | Bronze (Starter) | Silver (Scale) | Gold (Business) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `product-scraped` | Once per product row stored in your dataset | $2.69 per 1,000 | $2.51 per 1,000 | $2.24 per 1,000 | $1.88 per 1,000 |
| `run-start` | Once per run, after the first results page returned products | $0.003 | $0.003 | $0.003 | $0.003 |

The price of one product is the price per 1,000 divided by 1,000.

Never charged:

- links that are not Made-in-China searches (each gets an error row);
- a product that a second search of the same run finds again;
- products past your `maxItems`;
- the summary, info and error rows;
- a run with no valid input, or one whose searches return no products: the start fee is charged only once a results page has returned products;
- anything past your "Max cost per run". The actor checks the budget before each batch of rows and stops while the total is still below your limit, so the run ends SUCCEEDED with a partial result and a status message saying so.

### Run it on a schedule

1. Open the actor in Apify Console, set your input and click **Save as a new task**.
2. In the task, open **Schedules**, click **Add schedule** and pick how often (every day, every Monday at 08:00 and so on).
3. Compare runs on `product_id` and `price_low` to see new listings and price changes in your category.
4. Optional: add an integration (Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook) so each run lands where your team works.

### FAQ

#### What does this actor read?

Made-in-China.com's public product search and catalog pages, and, with `includeDetails` on, each listed product's public page, as anyone sees them without logging in. It does not log in, send inquiries or read contact details hidden behind a sign in.

#### How many products can I get?

Up to 5,000 per search and 100 searches per run. A results page holds 30 products; Made-in-China keeps serving pages deep into a search (page 60 of "bamboo toothbrush" still had 30 products in our test). A search ends when the pager has no next page, two pages in a row bring nothing new, or `maxItems` is reached.

#### Why do some rows have no price tiers or no business type?

Price tiers come from the product page and exist only when the supplier set quantity breaks; otherwise the listing has one price range, which is in `price_low` and `price_high`. The business type is filled when the supplier states one; many do not, on the search card or on their own pages. `member_since` and `years_on_platform` need `includeDetails` on.

#### What is the difference between includeDetails on and off?

Off, each row comes from the search card: title, price range, MOQ, card attributes, supplier, location, membership and badges. On, the product page adds price tiers, the year the supplier joined, business type where the card lacks it, the full spec table, trade terms, all images and the category path. On is slower (90 products took 77 seconds in our test, against 150 in 33 seconds off) and costs the same.

#### Are sponsored listings included?

Yes. The first 10 products of each keyword results page are paid placements; they have `is_sponsored: true`. Filter them out if you want the organic order only.

#### Can I filter by province, audited suppliers or price?

Filter the rows: `supplier_province`, `is_audited_supplier`, `is_manufacturer`, `price_low` and `moq_quantity` are separate columns for that. If you set filters on the Made-in-China site and the address bar shows them, paste that link into `startUrls`.

#### How long does a run take?

In our tests: 33 seconds for the "Try it" input (30 products, details on), 77 seconds for 90 products with details, 246 seconds for 210 products across 3 searches, and 33 seconds for 150 products with details off. The default time limit is 3,600 seconds; the actor stops before it and keeps every row.

#### Do I need an account, cookies or a proxy?

No. The actor reads public pages over Apify Proxy, which is included. Nothing to set up.

#### Which actor should I use for other marketplaces?

[Alibaba.com B2B Search](https://apify.com/themineworks/alibaba-b2b-search?fpr=ymnoit\&utm_source=apify-readme\&utm_medium=referral) for Alibaba suppliers, [IndiaMART Scraper](https://apify.com/themineworks/indiamart-suppliers?fpr=ymnoit\&utm_source=apify-readme\&utm_medium=referral) for Indian suppliers, [AliExpress Scraper](https://apify.com/themineworks/aliexpress-products?fpr=ymnoit\&utm_source=apify-readme\&utm_medium=referral) for retail prices of the same goods, and [Amazon Product Scraper](https://apify.com/themineworks/amazon-products?fpr=ymnoit\&utm_source=apify-readme\&utm_medium=referral) to see what they sell for in Western retail.

#### Which formats can I download?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS and HTML from the run's Storage tab or through the API. The dataset has three ready views: Products, Prices and MOQ, and Suppliers. In CSV and Excel, `attributes`, `specifications` and `price_tiers` are flattened into columns such as `attributes/Warranty` and `price_tiers/0/price`.

#### Can I use it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor (MCP)?

Yes, through Apify's MCP server. Connector URL: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/made-in-china-scraper

- Claude: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, paste the URL, sign in with Apify.
- ChatGPT: turn on developer mode, add an MCP connector with the URL, sign in with Apify.
- Cursor or VS Code: add it as an HTTP MCP server with that URL.
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add -t http made-in-china-scraper "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/made-in-china-scraper"`

#### Is it legal to scrape Made-in-China.com?

The actor reads only public listings that anyone can see without logging in, mostly business information that suppliers publish to be found. You are responsible for how you use the data, including Made-in-China's terms and data protection law such as GDPR and CCPA. This is general information, not legal advice.

### Integrations

- **Google Sheets**: send each run's products to a sheet with Apify's Google Sheets integration; one row per product fits a sheet as is.
- **Make, Zapier and n8n**: start a run and read its dataset with the Apify apps and nodes, for example "new suppliers for our keyword every Monday to Slack".
- **Webhooks**: have Apify call your URL when a run succeeds, then fetch the dataset.
- **API and SDKs**: run it from Python or JavaScript with the Apify client, or with a plain HTTP call (see "Copy to your AI assistant" above).
- **MCP clients**: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code can run it as a tool through the connector URL in the FAQ.

### Support

Found a search that returns fewer products than the site, or a field that comes back empty? Open an issue in the Issues tab with the input and the run ID, and we will look at it. For a field you need or a new source, email dmineworks@gmail.com.

*Search Made-in-China.com by keyword and get every product back as one row, with price range, quantity price tiers, MOQ, specs and the supplier's type, province, badges and years on the platform, no login.*

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Product keywords, one per line, as you would type them in the Made-in-China search box. Example: solar panel, led light, bamboo toothbrush. Each keyword is one search. Up to 100 searches per run.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Made-in-China search or catalog links copied from your browser, for example https://www.made-in-china.com/productdirectory.do?subaction=hunt\&style=b\&mode=and\&code=0\&comProvince=nolimit\&order=0\&isOpenCorrection=1\&word=solar+panel or https://www.made-in-china.com/products-search/hot-china-products/LED_Light.html. The pages after the first are followed from the link's own pager.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

The most products to return for each keyword or search URL, 1 to 5,000. A results page holds 30 products. Example: 300.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

On: each product's own page is opened too, for the quantity price tiers, the supplier's business type and the year it joined, years on the platform, the full Basic Info table, payment terms, port, all images and the category path. Off: rows come from the search cards only, which is faster. Same price either way.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "solar panel"
  ],
  "maxItems": 30,
  "includeDetails": true
}
```

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,themineworks/made-in-china-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
