## Pricing

from $0.90 / 1,000 supplier summary records

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

> ### 💡 Why Choose This Dedicated Alibaba Supplier Scraper?
>

> - **256MB RAM Pure HTTP Speed**: Sub-second startup, zero browser freezes, and costs only **$0.0015 per supplier ($1.50 per 1,000 suppliers)** in summary mode or **$0.0025 ($2.50 per 1,000)** for full storefront factory audits.
> - **100% Risk-Free Trial**: With Apify's default **$5.00 free monthly credit**, you can build a verified directory of **2,000+ audited factories completely free**.

The dedicated **Alibaba Supplier Scraper** and **B2B Factory Directory Builder** on Apify. Engineered for global sourcing teams, private-label brand owners, supply chain analysts, and B2B lead generation agencies. Discover unique manufacturers by keyword or audit direct `*.en.alibaba.com` company URLs to extract **business type (Manufacturer vs Trading Company)**, **factory floor size**, **annual output value**, **employee count**, **year established**, **Verified Supplier audit credentials (TÜV Rheinland / SGS)**, **6-month transaction volume**, **top export markets**, **ISO/CE/RoHS certifications**, and **flagship sample products** — exported directly to **Excel (.xlsx)**, **CSV**, or **Google Sheets**.

### 🏆 Why Procurement Teams Choose This Alibaba Supplier Scraper

- **Separate Real Factories from Middlemen**: Instantly see `businessType` (`Manufacturer/Factory` vs `Trading Company`), `factorySize` (e.g. `10,000-30,000 square meters`), `employeesCount` (e.g. `101-200 People`), and `annualOutputValue` (e.g. `US$10 Million - US$50 Million`).
- **Deduplicated Supplier Directory**: Search any product keyword (e.g., `"cnc machining"`, `"custom packaging"`, `"wireless earbuds"`) and receive **1 clean row per unique company**, complete with their flagship sample products.
- **Direct Company URL Auditing (`supplierUrls`)**: Paste a list of `https://<subdomain>.en.alibaba.com/company_profile.html` or storefront URLs to audit specific suppliers in bulk.
- **Verified Third-Party Inspection Metrics**: Extract on-site verification badges (TÜV Rheinland / SGS), Gold Supplier tenure (`yearsAsSupplier`), `responseTime` (`≤2h`), `onTimeDeliveryRate` (`100.0%`), and 6-month Trade Assurance transaction volumes.
- **Export Market & Certification Breakdown**: See each factory's top export regions (`North America 35%`, `Western Europe 25%`) and quality management certifications (`ISO9001`, `CE`, `RoHS`, `FCC`, `BSCI`).
