Alibaba Product Scraper

Scrape Alibaba.com wholesale listings from any keyword search or category: product title, price range, minimum order quantity (MOQ), rating, review and sold counts, images, shipping badges and the supplier's name, country, years on Alibaba and verified status. Turn on Include product details to also get price tiers by quantity, all product attributes, variants, lead times, packaging, description, FAQ, video and the full supplier profile (business type, staff size, response time, on-time delivery rate, store rating).

Built for reliability: plain HTTP with browser TLS fingerprinting, no headless browser, no login. Alibaba embeds its search results and product data as JSON in every page, so the scraper reads structured data instead of fragile CSS selectors. You pay only for the products you get.

How much does it cost?

Pay per result: a small price per product from a search or category page, plus a small extra per product when Include product details is on (one extra page fetch each). No subscription; Apify's free plan is enough to try it. Scraping 1,000 products with full details costs a few dollars.

Why are some Alibaba products "not available" on the product page?

Alibaba shows a "Product Not Available" page when a product is not offered in the country your IP address is in (many products are locked out of the US or the EU, for certification or shipping reasons), even though the same product appears in the search results. With the default proxy settings the scraper notices this and opens that product page again from another country (UK first, then Brazil, US, Germany) through Apify residential proxy, so you still get the price ladder, attributes and supplier profile. Price numbers (priceMin, priceMax, priceTiers[].price) are always in USD; priceText shows the price as displayed on the page that was loaded. This adds a little residential proxy traffic (about 80 KB per product that needs it, well under a cent), billed by Apify at its usual residential rate. If you set a proxy country yourself, the scraper respects it and reports such products with isAvailable: false instead.

How do I scrape all products in an Alibaba category?

Use the category URL as a start URL, e.g. https://www.alibaba.com/catalog/speakers_cid518 or https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?categoryId=518&SearchText=. Raise Max items and Max pages per search; the scraper follows page=2, 3, … until the category runs out (Alibaba serves at most about 100 pages, i.e. roughly 4,800 products, per query). Combine a category with a keyword (…/trade/search?categoryId=518&SearchText=karaoke) to narrow it down.

Can I get Alibaba price tiers and MOQ per product?

Yes. Every result carries the price range and MOQ shown on the search card. With Include product details the scraper opens the product page and returns the full quantity price ladder (priceTiers), lead time by quantity, packaging dimensions and weight, and the supplier's response time and on-time delivery rate, which is what you need for landed-cost comparisons.

Why do some products have no price?

Alibaba renders the price of some cards (sponsored placements, promotions and a few others) client-side on category-style result pages, so a share of listing items can have priceMin: null while title, MOQ, supplier and rating are still filled. Switch on Include product details to fill the full price ladder from the product page.

Monitor changes on a schedule

Turn on Only new or changed items and the Actor remembers what earlier runs of the same input returned: each run outputs only products that are new in the watched results or whose price range, promotion price, minimum order quantity (MOQ) or currency changed. Unchanged products are dropped on the search page, before any product page is opened, so they are not charged; product URLs are compared after their page is read and are not charged when unchanged. Max items becomes the window checked on every run, e.g. the first 48 results (one page) of a search. Save the input as a task and add a Schedule to it in Apify Console (Schedules → Create new, for example daily). Every output product carries changeType (new or changed); changed ones carry previousValues, e.g. {"priceMin": 7.8} for a product now listed from $7.20. A card that shows no price (it happens on Alibaba's fallback catalog pages) is treated as "price unknown", not as a change. Sold counts, reorder rates and ratings move all the time and do not count. Alibaba also rotates which products fill the first result pages from one request to the next, so the first runs of a new watch report a share of the window as new (each product only once, the first time it rotates in); this settles as the watch remembers more of the rotating products. Use Monitoring key to keep several schedules on the same input separate.

Does it work without login or a browser?

Yes. All data comes from public pages Alibaba serves to anonymous visitors. No account, cookies or headless browser are needed, which keeps runs fast and cheap. Prices are shown in USD by default.

Can I scrape Alibaba supplier contact details?

The Actor returns the supplier's business profile (company name, profile URL, country, business type, years on Alibaba, ratings, verified status). Alibaba's search and product pages do not display a contact person, phone number or e-mail address (contact goes through Alibaba's chat and inquiry form), so there are none in the output; use the supplier profile URL to contact them on Alibaba.

Integrations and API

Use the run in Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets, or call it from Python/Node with the Apify client. See the API tab for ready-made snippets. Schedule it to monitor prices, MOQs or new suppliers for your keywords.

Is it legal to scrape Alibaba.com?

This Actor collects only data Alibaba shows publicly to signed-out visitors: product listings, prices, MOQs, ratings and supplier business information. It does not collect anything behind a login, click-to-reveal values, or values that exist only in hidden page data (such as the sales contact's name and portrait, which the product page carries for its chat widget but does not display). You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Alibaba's terms and applicable law.
