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`). # README ### What does this Actor do? This Actor collects product observations from [public Alibaba.com product search, category, showroom, and product-detail pages](https://www.alibaba.com/). It combines public JSON-LD, Alibaba's embedded offer data, visible product cards, and browser-rendered pages when JavaScript is required. It is useful for wholesale product discovery, supplier shortlisting, price and MOQ comparison, sourcing research, and building a searchable product dataset. You can process several queries or public source URLs, follow ordered pagination, deduplicate repeated products, filter by public sourcing signals, sort the result, and keep product-scoped media and supplier context. #### Scope and access boundary The Actor reads only public pages. It does not log in, use private supplier portals, call authenticated APIs, solve CAPTCHAs, spoof browser fingerprints, or bypass access controls. If Alibaba returns a challenge, robots restriction, or other access boundary, the Actor fails closed and records a numeric issue count in `OUTPUT_SUMMARY` with details in logs; it does not add an error or placeholder row to the Dataset. Generated searches use Alibaba's public country-search view (`/countrysearch/CN/.html`), which currently exposes public listing payloads without requiring the blocked trade-search shell. Explicit public trade-search URLs remain accepted, but the Actor fails closed if Alibaba challenges them. The parser accepts JSON-LD, Alibaba embedded offer payloads, and visible product-card evidence; fields are omitted when the public page does not expose them. ### Run in Console #### Console steps 1. Open the [Alibaba Products Scraper Store page](https://apify.com/devcake/alibaba-products-scraper). 2. Click **Try for free** or **Start** and open the **Input** tab. 3. Paste one of the JSON inputs below, or fill the form fields. 4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish. 5. Open the **Dataset** tab for product rows. Open the Key-Value Store records `OUTPUT_SUMMARY` and `SOURCE_METADATA` for run status, issue counts, and pagination metadata. #### Cost There is no hard-coded price in this repository. Your total cost is determined by the Apify compute, memory, storage, and optional proxy usage shown in your account and run settings. Review the [Apify pricing page](https://apify.com/pricing) before a large run. Public-page delays, pagination, browser rendering, and proxy routing can increase runtime or usage. ### Input #### Basic search ```json { "queries": ["wireless earbuds", "rechargeable led work light"], "maxPages": 2, "maxProducts": 100, "sortBy": "relevance" } ``` #### Multiple public sources ```json { "sourceUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/wireless-earbuds.html" }, { "url": "https://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/led-work-light.html" } ], "maxPages": 3, "deduplicate": true, "maxProducts": 250 } ``` #### Filters and sorting ```json { "queries": ["wireless earbuds"], "minPrice": 20, "maxPrice": 800, "minMoq": 10, "maxMoq": 500, "supplierCountries": ["CN", "China"], "minProductRating": 4.5, "minReviewCount": 10, "minSupplierYears": 3, "requiredBadges": ["certified"], "tradeAssurance": true, "verifiedSupplier": true, "sortBy": "rating_desc" } ``` Supported `sortBy` values are `relevance`, `price_asc`, `price_desc`, `moq_asc`, `moq_desc`, `rating_desc`, `reviews_desc`, `sold_desc`, `supplier_years_desc`, `supplier_name_asc`, and `title_asc`. #### Advanced and proxy options ```json { "queries": ["wireless earbuds"], "renderJavaScript": true, "requestDelayMs": 1000, "maxConcurrency": 2, "maxRequestRetries": 3, "requestTimeoutSecs": 60, "browserWaitMs": 1500, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` Proxy routing is optional. It changes the network route only; it is not a CAPTCHA, login, or access-control bypass. Use the standard Apify Proxy setting unless you have a documented reason to supply a public custom proxy URL. Respect Alibaba's terms and robots policy. #### Local QA inputs The fixture fields are for deterministic local validation and are rejected in Cloud runs. They never replace a public Alibaba source in a production run. ```json { "sourceUrls": [ { "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8771/products.html" } ], "renderJavaScript": false, "requestDelayMs": 0, "maxPages": 2, "maxProducts": 10 } ``` #### Complete input reference All supported keys are listed below.

Product values are observed facts, not inferred guarantees. Optional values are omitted when Alibaba does not expose them; blocked pages, extraction failures, and successful empty results do not create Dataset rows. Product fields cover identity and provenance (`title`, `name`, `productId`, `productUrl`, `url`, `sourceType`, `sourceUrl`, `pageUrl`, `pageNum`, `position`, `query`), commercial values (`price`, `priceMin`, `priceMax`, `currency`, `priceFormatted`, `moq`, `minimumOrderQuantity`, `minimumOrderUnit`), supplier values (`supplierName`, `companyName`, `supplierProfileUrl`, `supplierCountry`, `supplierLocation`, `supplierYears`, `yearsAsGoldSupplier`, `supplierRating`, `supplierServiceScore`), public demand/trust signals, product media, attributes, variations, specifications, delivery text, promotions, selling points, badges, category, description, and `scrapedAt`. Images are restricted to product-scoped public Alibaba CDN assets. Country flags, UI icons, logos, and unrelated assets are excluded. #### Rich product example ```json { "title": "Compact Wireless Earbuds", "name": "Compact Wireless Earbuds", "productId": "1601234567890", "productUrl": "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Compact-Wireless-Earbuds_1601234567890.html", "url": "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Compact-Wireless-Earbuds_1601234567890.html", "sourceType": "alibaba_product_search", "sourceUrl": "https://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/wireless-earbuds.html", "pageUrl": "https://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/wireless-earbuds.html", "pageNum": 1, "position": 1, "query": "wireless earbuds", "price": 100, "priceMin": 100, "priceMax": 120, "currency": "INR", "priceFormatted": "₹100.00-120.00", "moq": 10, "minimumOrderQuantity": 10, "minimumOrderUnit": "pieces", "supplierName": "Compact Audio Co., Ltd.", "companyName": "Compact Audio Co., Ltd.", "supplierProfileUrl": "https://compact.en.alibaba.com/company_profile.html", "supplierCountry": "CN", "supplierYears": 8, "productRating": 4.8, "reviewCount": 20, "soldCount": 5, "reorderRatePercent": 35, "mainImage": "https://s.alicdn.com/@sc04/kf/compact-main.jpg_300x300.jpg", "images": [ "https://s.alicdn.com/@sc04/kf/compact-main.jpg_300x300.jpg", "https://s.alicdn.com/@sc04/kf/compact-side.jpg_300x300.jpg" ], "imageCount": 2, "badges": ["Reorder rate 35%", "certified"], "badgeTexts": ["Reorder rate 35%", "certified"], "isCertified": true, "isVerifiedSupplier": true, "isAd": true, "canAddToCart": true, "canChatNow": true, "scrapedAt": "2026-09-08T10:00:00.000Z" } ``` #### Fallback product example When only the product identity and public link are available, the Actor emits a valid smaller product row and omits unavailable commercial, supplier, and media fields. ```json { "title": "USB-C Earbuds", "name": "USB-C Earbuds", "productUrl": "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/USB-C-Earbuds_1601234567891.html", "url": "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/USB-C-Earbuds_1601234567891.html", "sourceType": "alibaba_product_search", "sourceUrl": "https://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/wireless-earbuds.html", "pageUrl": "https://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/wireless-earbuds.html", "pageNum": 1, "position": 2, "query": "wireless earbuds", "scrapedAt": "2026-09-08T10:00:00.000Z" } ``` #### Operational issue counts When a source request fails, `OUTPUT_SUMMARY` keeps the numeric issue count and the run logs contain failure details. Operational issues are never written as Dataset rows or stored as detailed key-value records. #### Run summary example The `OUTPUT_SUMMARY` and compatibility `OUTPUT` records contain run metrics, not product rows: ```json { "status": "SUCCEEDED", "runStatus": "SUCCEEDED", "dataStatus": "PARTIAL", "recordCount": 24, "diagnosticItems": 0, "diagnosticCount": 1, "recordsEmitted": 24, "requests": 6, "retries": 1, "successfulRequests": 5, "failedRequests": 1, "sourcesProcessed": 2, "pagesProcessed": 6, "candidatesFound": 31, "uniqueProducts": 27, "filteredOutCount": 3, "rejectedInputCount": 0, "queries": [ "wireless earbuds", "led work light" ], "maxProducts": 100, "maxPages": 3, "sortBy": "relevance", "deduplicate": true, "renderJavaScript": true, "maxConcurrency": 2, "proxyEnabled": false, "fixtureMode": false, "completedAt": "2026-09-08T10:00:00.000Z" } ``` #### Key-Value Store artifacts - `OUTPUT_SUMMARY`: run status and counters. - `OUTPUT`: compatibility copy of the summary. - `SOURCE_METADATA`: per-source request, retry, failure, and page metadata. The product Dataset intentionally excludes Actor instrumentation, HTTP internals, transport metadata, debugging wrappers, and run counters. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. ### Troubleshooting #### The Dataset contains no products Check `OUTPUT_SUMMARY`, `SOURCE_METADATA`, and the run logs. `ACCESS_BOUNDARY`, HTTP 401/403/429/451, CAPTCHA/challenge text, off-host redirects, and robots/access restrictions are fail-closed outcomes. When source-backed products were parsed but filters remove all of them, the run completes with `status: SUCCEEDED` and `dataStatus: NO_RESULTS`. If no product evidence can be parsed, the run reports an extraction failure; a request or extraction failure without saved products fails the run. Reduce request volume, verify that the source is public, and follow Alibaba's terms; do not add login or bypass logic. #### The run returns no products Check that the query or `sourceUrls` points to a public Alibaba result/detail route. Remove restrictive filters, increase `maxPages`, or inspect `SOURCE_METADATA` and the run logs to distinguish a valid empty result from an extraction failure. #### A field is missing Missing values mean the public page did not expose that field in the supported JSON-LD, embedded offer, or visible-card structures. The Actor does not fabricate values. Use `includeMedia`, `includeAttributes`, and `includeSupplierDetails` to control optional output groups. #### A local fixture is rejected Local parser tests use checked-in HTML fixtures. Public Actor inputs use Alibaba URLs and do not expose fixture overrides; Cloud runs always request the public source. #### Browser rendering is unavailable Set `renderJavaScript` to `false` only when the source is static HTML or for local fixtures. Browser startup failures are reported in logs and the Key-Value Store; no access-control bypass is attempted. ### API and support The [Apify API documentation](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) describes programmatic runs and Dataset downloads. The Actor API identifier is `devcake~alibaba-products-scraper`. ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/devcake~alibaba-products-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"queries":["wireless earbuds"],"maxProducts":25}' ``` For support or an issue report, use the [Actor Store page](https://apify.com/devcake/alibaba-products-scraper) and include the run ID, input, status, and relevant failure details from run logs. Do not include credentials or private supplier data. ### Privacy, legal, and affiliation This Actor requests public Alibaba pages and stores the resulting observations in your Apify Dataset and Key-Value Store. It does not request or store Alibaba credentials. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully, respecting Alibaba's terms, robots directives, applicable privacy rules, and any rights attached to the collected content. This Actor is an independent community tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Alibaba.com or Alibaba Group. Product, supplier, price, rating, and availability values are public observations at scrape time and are not guarantees. ### Local validation ```bash npm install apify validate-schema npm test apify run --purge --input-file ./test/inputs/pagination.json npm run validate ``` The repository's QA inputs exercise default fields, pagination, multiple sources, filters and sorting, media opt-out, developer options, successful empty output, and fail-closed errors without requiring a live Alibaba request. Issue counts stay in the run summary, and details stay in run logs. Run summaries include the required `status`, `runStatus`, and `dataStatus` fields. `status` and `runStatus` are `SUCCEEDED` when source-backed rows were saved or a run completed cleanly with no matches; they are `FAILED` only when a real failure occurs before any rows are saved. `dataStatus` is `COMPLETE`, `PARTIAL`, `NO_RESULTS`, or `FAILED`. Failure details stay in the run logs; key-value summaries retain counts only. # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): Product keywords.
