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 ## Alibaba Product Scraper Convert any Alibaba.com product URL into a complete structured record — ladder pricing, SKU variants, per-SKU inventory, full supplier profile, and media gallery. ### Why use this actor - No Alibaba account or login required — all data is from publicly visible product pages. - Captures every quantity-price tier so you can model landed cost at any order size. - Full SKU matrix (color, size, configuration) with per-option images and availability flags. - Rich supplier profile in every record: business type, registered country, gold-supplier years, on-time delivery rate, response time, and Trade Assurance amount. - Automatic retries ensure every URL in your list is reliably processed. - Export results to JSON, CSV, or Excel directly from the Apify Console. ### How it works 1. You provide a list of Alibaba product detail URLs (e.g. `https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/..._1601685362945.html`). 2. The actor opens each product page and extracts the complete listing: title, all price tiers, MOQ, SKU options, inventory levels, images, and the full supplier profile. 3. Product properties and specifications listed by the supplier are captured alongside the pricing and media data. 4. Each product is saved as a single structured record in your dataset as soon as it is processed. 5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel when the run completes. You don't need to manage any browsers or scrapers. ### Input ```json { "productUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/WATA-In-Ear-Waterproof-Sport-Earbud_1601685362945.html" } ], "maxConcurrency": 3, "maxRequestRetries": 6, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `productUrls` | URL\[] | Alibaba product detail page URLs to scrape. | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | Number of product pages processed in parallel.

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/XytwHZHdLSWASKna2/builds/0Vqfaf1uIqAp6gEp6/openapi.json
