## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Alibaba Supplier / Company Scraper

Pull a complete supplier profile from any Alibaba.com subdomain — business type, registered country, gold-supplier years, on-time delivery rate, response-time SLA, Trade Assurance amount, and full supplier rating breakdown.

### What you can do with it

- **Supplier due diligence** — verify business type, registered country, paid-member status, dispatch guarantee, and Trade Assurance amount before issuing an RFQ.
- **Bulk supplier scoring** — rank thousands of suppliers on response-time SLA, on-time delivery rate, and gold-supplier years.
- **Compliance** — capture aliMemberId, encryptCompanyId, and company identifiers for downstream reconciliation.
- **Sales prospecting** — get supplier contact name, job title, video-chat availability, and trade history URL.

### Features

- **Subdomain metadata** — companyId, encryptCompanyId, aliMemberId, aliId, leader-supplier flag, elite status.
- **Rich supplier profile** (auto-enriched from one of the supplier's products):
  - Company: name, business type, join years, registered country, logo.
  - Trust flags: isGoldPlusSupplier, isLeaderSupplier, isPaidMember, isCgsMember, isDispatchGuaranteed, isCompanyBusinessTypeAuth.
  - SLA: responseTimeText, onTimeDeliveryRate.
  - Trade Assurance: tradeAssuranceAmount, tradeAssuranceIsService.
  - Reviews: supplierAverageStar + per-criterion scatter (services, shipping, quality).
  - Contact: contactName, jobTitle, hasVideoChat.
  - URLs: homeUrl, profileUrl, tradeHistoryUrl, feedbackUrl.
- **Auto-enrichment** — resolves subdomain meta first, then finds a sample product to pull the rich seller block.
- **Resilient against Aliyun WAF** — auto-retry with proxy rotation.
- **Default Dataset output** — JSON / CSV / Excel / RSS / HTML export.

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "companyUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://headphones.en.alibaba.com/"
