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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Global Sources Supplier Scraper Search **Global Sources** by product keyword and pull verified B2B supplier and product listings — company name, product title, price, minimum order quantity (MOQ), location, image, and profile URL — as clean, structured rows. ### Why use this actor - **Sourcing-grade supplier data** — company name, location, and the products they sell, ready for lead lists and supplier shortlists. - **Product tiles with price and MOQ** — see the asking price and minimum order quantity per product, not just a name. - **Keyword in, structured rows out** — give it product keywords; get back PRODUCT and SUPPLIER records you can sort and filter. - **Loads each page fully like a real visitor** — so you get the complete listing, not a stripped-down preview. - **Stable JSON output** — the same field names every run, ready for spreadsheets, databases, or pipelines. - **No account, no API key** — works straight from public search pages. ### How it works 1. You provide one or more product keywords. 2. For each keyword, the actor opens the Global Sources supplier/product search and loads the page fully like a real visitor. 3. Each product tile becomes a `PRODUCT` record and each supplier becomes a `SUPPLIER` record, with name, price/MOQ where shown, location, image, and URL. 4. Everything lands in your dataset, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel. You don't need to manage any browsers or scrapers. > **Residential proxy required.** Global Sources only serves its pages to a residential visitor. You **must** run this actor with the Apify Proxy **RESIDENTIAL** group (it is prefilled in the input). Because each page is loaded fully like a real visitor, this actor is more compute-intensive than a simple HTML scraper. ### Input ```json { "queries": [ "wireless earbuds", "solar panel" ], "maxItems": 50, "maxRequestRetries": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `queries` | array | **Required.** Product keywords to search for (one per entry). Each keyword returns its own supplier and product rows. | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum supplier/product rows to keep per keyword (`1`–`500`). Default `50`. | | `maxRequestRetries` | integer | How many times to reload a page that hasn't finished loading before moving on (`1`–`10`). Default `3`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | **Required — use the RESIDENTIAL group.** Global Sources only serves its pages to a residential visitor; without a residential proxy each keyword returns a block notice instead of data. | ### Output Per product (`recordType: "PRODUCT"`): ```json { "recordType": "PRODUCT", "_input": "wireless earbuds", "productTitle": "TWS Wireless Earbuds Bluetooth 5.3 Noise Cancelling", "price": "US$3.50", "currency": "USD", "moq": "100 pieces", "company": "Shenzhen Audio Technology Co., Ltd.", "location": "Shenzhen, CN", "image": "https://www.globalsources.com/.../earbuds.jpg", "url": "https://www.globalsources.com/product/1234567.html", "sourceUrl": "https://www.globalsources.com/searchList/products?query=wireless%20earbuds", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-10T18:06:28Z" } ``` Per supplier (`recordType: "SUPPLIER"`): ```json { "recordType": "SUPPLIER", "_input": "wireless earbuds", "company": "Guangzhou Sound Industrial Ltd.", "productTitle": null, "price": null, "currency": null, "moq": null, "location": "Guangzhou, CN", "image": "https://www.globalsources.com/.../logo.jpg", "url": "https://www.globalsources.com/supplier/9990001.html", "sourceUrl": "https://www.globalsources.com/searchList/suppliers?query=wireless%20earbuds", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-10T18:06:28Z" } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `recordType` | string | `"PRODUCT"` for a product tile, `"SUPPLIER"` for a company. | | `_input` | string | The keyword that produced this record. | | `productTitle` | string | Product name (PRODUCT records). | | `company` | string | Supplier / manufacturer company name. | | `price` | string | Asking price as shown, when available. | | `currency` | string | ISO currency of the price, when available. | | `moq` | string | Minimum order quantity, when shown. | | `location` | string | Supplier location (city / country) when shown. | | `image` | string | Primary image or logo URL. | | `url` | string | Product or supplier profile URL. | | `sourceUrl` | string | The search page the record came from. | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of collection. | If a keyword's page cannot be loaded (for example when run without a residential proxy), the actor emits a clearly-marked diagnostic record (`recordType: "DIAGNOSTIC"`) with an `error` and `message` explaining why, instead of silently skipping — so you always know what happened. ### Other Global Sources Scrapers | Actor | Description | | --- | --- | | [Global Sources Supplier Scraper](https://apify.com/globalsources-supplier-scraper) | Supplier and product listings by keyword: company, price, MOQ, location. | # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): Product keywords to search Global Sources for (one per array entry). Each keyword returns its own set of supplier and product listings. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of supplier/product rows to keep per keyword. Default 50. ## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`): How many times to reload a page that has not finished loading before moving on. Default 3. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): REQUIRED. Global Sources will only load its pages for a residential visitor, so you MUST use the Apify Proxy RESIDENTIAL group (prefilled). Without a residential proxy every keyword returns a block diagnostic instead of data. ## Actor input object example ```json { "queries": [ "wireless earbuds" ], "maxItems": 50, "maxRequestRetries": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
