An Alibaba API alternative

Alibaba's open platform is meant for suppliers and app vendors managing their own storefront, and access needs a reviewed developer application. Buyers get no API for search results.

This Actor is an Alibaba API alternative for public product data. It works without the Alibaba API: no developer account, no keys, no approval.

	Alibaba API	This Actor
Access	Reviewed developer application	Anyone
Data	A supplier's own storefront	Any public search, category or product
Setup	Application, keys, token handling	Keywords or links, press Start
Output	API objects	Flat rows: CSV, Excel, JSON

Why use this Alibaba scraper

Page after page

Set how many products you want per keyword and the Actor follows Alibaba's own pagination until it has them, removing repeats.

Prices you can compare

Current price, pre-discount price and currency are numbers, ready for a spreadsheet or a price-tracking database.

Your own links work

Set any filter or sort on alibaba.com, copy the address and paste it. The Actor keeps it as it is and pages through it.

No start fee, and failures are free

You pay per product delivered. Bad links and empty searches return a free error row.

FAQ

Do I need a Alibaba account or API key? No. It works without the Alibaba API and without logging in.

Is scraping Alibaba legal? This is general information, not legal advice. The Actor collects only product information that alibaba.com shows publicly to every visitor, and never logs in. Product listings are not personal data, but Alibaba's terms restrict automated access, and how you use the data depends on the laws where you are. Use it for research, price monitoring and analysis, and ask a lawyer before building a commercial product on it.

How many products can I get per keyword? As many as Alibaba shows. The Actor follows the site's own pagination, up to 100 pages per keyword, and removes repeats.

Are the prices the ones shown on the site? Yes, as shown to a visitor in US dollars at the time of the run. Member prices, cart discounts and taxes at checkout are not included.

Why are some products marked sponsored? Alibaba sells positions in its results. The sponsored flag lets you keep or drop them.

Why is there a price range? Alibaba quotes prices by order quantity. price is the low end of the range and priceMax the high end.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Daily runs over the same keywords give you price and ranking history.
