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.

Free tier: 250 reviews, no credit card. ### How to Scrape Alibaba Supplier Reviews #### Basic: one supplier by storefront URL ```json { "supplierUrls": ["https://szcjlighting.en.alibaba.com/company_profile.html"] } ```` #### By company name when you don't have the URL ```json { "companyNames": ["Shenzhen Chengjie Lighting Co., Ltd."] } ``` #### From a product page, capped at 50 reviews ```json { "supplierUrls": ["https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/USB-2835-LED-Light_1601167795231.html"], "maxReviewsPerSupplier": 50 } ``` #### Many suppliers at once, every review each ```json { "supplierUrls": [ "https://szcjlighting.en.alibaba.com", "https://anothersupplier.en.alibaba.com" ], "companyNames": ["Shenzhen Chengjie Lighting Co., Ltd."], "maxReviewsPerSupplier": 0 } ``` Set `maxReviewsPerSupplier` to `0` to fetch every review a store has. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `supplierUrls` | array | *one of these* | Supplier storefront URLs or product page URLs. One per line. | | `companyNames` | array | *one of these* | Supplier company names to look up when you don't have the URL. | | `maxReviewsPerSupplier` | integer | `100` | Cap per supplier. Set `0` to fetch every review. | Provide `supplierUrls`, `companyNames`, or both. Duplicate suppliers are resolved and deduplicated automatically. ### What's in Each Review Row One row per store review. The fields: | Field | What it holds | |---|---| | `reviewId` | Unique review identifier | | `reviewContent` | The buyer's written review, in their original language | | `rating`, `ratingType` | Star score and what it rates (e.g. product quality) | | `reviewTime` | When the review was posted | | `likeCount` | Helpful votes on the review | | `highlightText` | Highlighted snippets, when present | | `media` | Buyer-uploaded photos and videos | | `product` | The reviewed product: ID, name, link, image | | `buyer` | Anonymized name, country code, country name | | `orderSubScores` | Per-order sub-scores: supplier service, shipping time, product quality | | `supplier` | Company name, ID, storefront, feedback page | | `storeAggregate` | Store-wide rating: average, totals, per-dimension star distribution, review tags | The full record looks like this: #### Output Example ```json { "reviewId": "6000079245296", "reviewContent": "They great!", "rating": 5, "ratingType": "productQuality", "reviewTime": "18 Jun 2026 17:45", "likeCount": 0, "highlightText": null, "media": [], "product": { "productId": "1601167795231", "productName": "USB 2835 LED Light 60leds/m With USB 3000K 6000K CE RoHS Authentication TV Background Light LED Strip Light 5volt", "productUrl": "//www.alibaba.com/product-detail/USB-2835-LED-Light-60leds-m_1601167795231.html", "productImageUrl": "https://sc04.alicdn.com/kf/H6d377d2f62804414a6a66f08811d52a0T.jpg" }, "buyer": { "anonymousName": "B***********r", "countryCode": "CA", "countryName": "Canada" }, "orderSubScores": [ { "latitudeName": "supplierServices", "score": 5, "type": "supplierServices" }, { "latitudeName": "shippingTime", "score": 5, "type": "shippingTime" } ], "supplier": { "companyId": "274667237", "companyName": "Shenzhen Chengjie Lighting Co., Ltd.", "subDomain": "szcjlighting", "homeUrl": "https://szcjlighting.en.alibaba.com", "feedbackUrl": "https://szcjlighting.en.alibaba.com/company_profile/feedback.html" }, "storeAggregate": { "averageScore": "4.5", "maxScore": 5, "orderCount": 355, "totalReviews": 395, "dimensions": [ { "type": "productQuality", "averageScore": "4.4", "starScatter": [ { "count": 59, "level": 1, "percentage": 9 }, { "count": 515, "level": 5, "percentage": 82 } ] } // ... 2 more dimensions: supplierServices, shippingTime ], "tags": [ { "clusterName": "With pictures", "count": 125 }, { "clusterName": "With videos", "count": 5 } ] } } ``` ### Advanced Usage Ready-made configurations for due diligence on a single supplier, sentiment analysis across a category, supplier monitoring over time, and bulk review export. #### Due diligence on one supplier ```json { "supplierUrls": ["https://szcjlighting.en.alibaba.com"], "maxReviewsPerSupplier": 0 } ``` #### Sentiment sample across several suppliers ```json { "companyNames": [ "Shenzhen Chengjie Lighting Co., Ltd.", "Guangzhou Example Trading Co., Ltd." ], "maxReviewsPerSupplier": 100 } ``` #### Quick rating snapshot, newest reviews only ```json { "supplierUrls": ["https://szcjlighting.en.alibaba.com"], "maxReviewsPerSupplier": 20 } ``` The store rating summary (average, breakdown, tags) is attached to every row even when you cap the reviews, so a small run still gives you the full store score. ### Pricing: Pay Per Event (PPE) **$2.99 per 1,000 reviews.** You pay only for reviews delivered. Suppliers with no reviews cost nothing. | Reviews delivered | Cost | |-------------------|------| | 100 | $0.30 | | 500 | $1.50 | | 1,000 | $2.99 | Higher Apify plans pay less per review. Free tier: 250 reviews total, no credit card required. ### FAQ **What is an Alibaba.com store review (supplier review / feedback)?** Alibaba.com lets buyers rate a supplier after a transaction, leaving a star rating, written feedback, and sometimes photos or videos. These appear on the supplier's feedback page as store reviews. This Actor collects that full review history plus the store's aggregate rating, so you can judge a supplier on real buyer experience rather than the headline score alone. **How many reviews can I extract?** As many as the supplier has. Suppliers range from a handful of reviews to several hundred. Set `maxReviewsPerSupplier` to `0` to pull every review, or cap it per supplier to control cost. **How fresh is the data?** Reviews are fetched live each run, so you get the supplier's current review history at the moment the run starts. **Do I need an Alibaba.com account or cookies?** No. Provide a supplier URL or company name and run. No account, login, or cookie export is involved. **Can I get supplier verification reports, product specs, or tiered pricing too?** Those come from the [Alibaba Scraper](https://apify.com/zen-studio/alibaba-scraper), which returns full product detail, supplier dossiers, and certifications. This Actor is the dedicated, exhaustive tool for store reviews; the main Alibaba Scraper returns reviews only as a capped per-supplier sample. **Can I get China-domestic wholesale supplier data?** Use the [1688 Wholesale Scraper](https://apify.com/zen-studio/1688-wholesale-scraper) for 1688.com supplier and pricing data, the domestic counterpart to Alibaba.com. **What languages are the reviews in?** Reviews are returned in the language the buyer wrote them in, so you see the original text. **How do I export the data?** Download from the run's Storage tab as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML, or pull it via the Apify API. JSON preserves the nested `product`, `buyer`, and `storeAggregate` objects best. **What's the free tier?** 250 reviews total across your runs, no credit card required. **Is it legal to scrape Alibaba.com reviews?** The Actor extracts only publicly visible data, nothing behind a login. You are responsible for complying with Alibaba.com's terms of service and applicable data protection law, including GDPR, CCPA, and China's PIPL. Reviews include buyer country and anonymized names; treat them as personal data. ### More Zen Studio scrapers for B2B sourcing **🌏 Wholesale marketplaces** -
