## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# 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.
