Alibaba & Yiwu Supplier Finder by Image – Reverse Image Search

TubeText · E-commerce & travel · Pay per result. No login. Ready for AI agents. All tools

Quick start (no coding)

1. Click Try for free at the top of this page. A free Apify account is enough – it includes monthly credit.
2. In Product image URLs, paste one image link per line – right-click a product photo (TikTok Shop, AliExpress, Amazon, Temu…) and choose Copy image address.
3. Click Start. Usually done in 10–30 seconds.
4. When it says Succeeded, open the Output tab and click Export → Excel (or CSV). One row per match: price, MOQ and supplier; the source column says Alibaba.com or Yiwugo.

Cost: $0.01 per image per source – 10 photos on both sources ≈ $0.20. Weak matches are free.

Common mistakes

• Pasting a product page link → paste the image link instead (it usually ends in .jpg, .png or .webp).
• Alibaba matches look like accessories → this happens for some shoes and watches; check the Yiwugo rows or use a clearer photo.

Use from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client

Add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tubetext/alibaba-yiwu-image-search as a remote MCP server and sign in to Apify (Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector). Claude Code:

$claude mcp add --transport http tubetext "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tubetext/alibaba-yiwu-image-search"

Then ask, for example: "Find suppliers on Alibaba and Yiwu for the product in this photo, with price and MOQ: [image url]" or "Find China suppliers for these 5 TikTok Shop product images and compare the cheapest options."

🆓 Free to try: Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed – enough for about 500 image searches with this tool.

What you get – real output from a test run, shortened. One row per matching listing:

Found a winning product on TikTok Shop, AliExpress, Amazon or Temu? Paste its photo and find who manufactures it in China. One image is searched on Alibaba.com (global B2B manufacturers, prices in USD) and Yiwugo (the Yiwu International Trade City catalogue, wholesale prices in CNY). You get the most similar listings with price, MOQ, supplier, country, years on Alibaba, rating, certifications and market booth. Built for dropshippers, sourcing agents, Amazon/TikTok Shop sellers and product researchers. No login, no Chinese account, pay per image.

How it works

1. You give product image URLs – or chain the dataset of a product scraper (e.g. TikTok Shop Product Scraper or AliExpress Search Scraper).
2. Each image is searched with the public reverse image search of Alibaba.com and of Yiwugo (choose one or both in Where to search).
3. You get the most similar listings per source, ranked, in one table – the source column says where each one comes from.

What you get per match

• 🏷️ Price – price + currency (USD on Alibaba with priceMin/priceMax; CNY on Yiwugo, empty when negotiable)
• 📦 MOQ – as shown plus parsed number and unit
• 🏭 Supplier – name and storefront; on Alibaba also country, years on Alibaba.com, Gold Supplier, rating and review count
• ✅ Alibaba extras – certifications (CE, RoHS…), estimated delivery date, sponsored flag, and a per-listing visual similarity (0–1)
• 📍 Yiwugo extras – market booth (e.g. 义乌国际商贸城四区74门2楼…) or province/city, English and Chinese titles
• ↩️ With dataset input: the source product's title, URL and price, so you can compute margins right away

  "matchConfidence": "high",
  "matchScore": 1.0
}

Match confidence. Both sites always return something similar-looking, even for a logo or a landscape photo. So each image gets a matchScore (0–1) per source:

• Alibaba.com: the visual similarity of the best non-sponsored match. Real product photos scored 0.70–0.94 in our tests, logos and people 0.62–0.67.
• Yiwugo: the share of the top 8 results that agree on what the product is (e.g. all are 瑜伽跪垫, yoga kneeling pads). Real product photos scored 0.88–1.0, a company logo 0.25.

Below the threshold (0.68 on Alibaba, 0.6 on Yiwugo) the rows get status: "weak_match", matchConfidence: "low": they are still returned so you can check them, but that source is not charged for the image.

Which products match well?

• Alibaba.com covers almost every category – from consumer goods to machinery – and is best for finding manufacturers that accept custom logos / OEM, with low MOQs from some suppliers. Clear product photos match well (yoga pads, mugs, backpacks, sunglasses, cameras in our tests); for some photos the results drift to accessories (a sneaker photo returned shoe lights and laces, a watch returned straps) – check similarity.
• Yiwugo is strongest in small commodities: phone and electronics accessories, kitchen and home gadgets, pet supplies, toys, jewelry, stationery, sports and party goods. Apparel matches are weaker, and machinery is not covered.
• Branded products are usually not sold as such – instead you get similar items and often OEM / private-label manufacturers, useful if you plan your own brand.
• Landscapes, logos or photos of people are not products: expect weak or unrelated matches (usually not charged, see above).

Pricing

Pay per event, per source:

• $0.01 per image searched on a source – includes the first 20 matches. Searching both Alibaba.com and Yiwugo = $0.02 per image.
• $0.0003 per extra match beyond 20 per source (up to 100).
• Weak matches (see Match confidence), sources with no matches, invalid or broken image links and errors are free.

Example: 100 TikTok Shop products, both sources, 20 matches each = $2.00.

Tips

• Margin check: chain a TikTok Shop or AliExpress dataset, then compare sourcePrice with price (convert CNY at your rate) and moq.
• Supplier shortlist: filter Alibaba rows by supplierYears, supplierRating and goldSupplier; sort by price and moq. Open url to contact suppliers on Alibaba.com, or urlEn on Yiwugo.
• Only one market? Set Where to search to Alibaba.com or Yiwugo alone – you pay for one source.
• Clean product shots on a plain background match best; screenshots work too.

FAQ

Does it search 1688, Taobao, AliExpress or JD? No. Their image search needs a login, signed private APIs or slider checks, which this Actor does not use or bypass. Alibaba.com and Yiwugo image search are public.

Do I need an Alibaba, Yiwugo or Chinese account? No.

Why is a price empty? On Yiwugo the supplier lists the product as price-on-request (面议).

What does isAd mean? Alibaba.com shows some sponsored listings among the matches; they are kept and flagged so you can filter them out.

Is this legal? The Actor only uses the public image search of Alibaba.com and Yiwugo, without logging in. It returns business listings (company names and storefronts), not personal data; Yiwugo street addresses are reduced to province/city (market booths are kept as business locations). You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with the sites' terms.

Can I cap what a run costs? Yes – set Maximum cost per run in the run options. The run stops cleanly when the next image would go over it: you are never charged more, and you get a clear "stopped at your limit" status message.
