{
  "count": 20301,
  "per_page": 48,
  "current_page": 1,
  "total_pages": 100,
  "next": "http://localhost:8000/products/search?query=raspberry+pi&page=2",
  "results": [
    {
      "id": 1601110348559,
      "title": "Original Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 1GB/ 2GB/ 4GB/ 8GB SDRAM Raspberry PI 4B",

🔍 Exploring Parameters

The same API is published on RapidAPI, and its playground is the easiest place to try parameters and see raw responses. Once a request looks right, run it locally.

1. Subscribe to the free plan — 1,000 calls/month, no credit card.
2. Try the endpoints in the playground — every param is pre-filled, so you see real data in one click.
3. Copy the generated code and replace https://best-alibaba-scraper-free-1000-calls.p.rapidapi.com with http://localhost:8000. It now runs against your local API.

import requests

# generated by the playground, host swapped for the local API
response = requests.get(
    "http://localhost:8000/products/search",
    params={"query": "raspberry pi"},
)
print(response.json())

🚨 Use a Residential Proxy

Alibaba rate-limits by IP, so a bare home or server IP will get blocked. After a handful of requests you start getting 502s ("alibaba blocked the request") that clear on their own after a few minutes. Fine for trying things out — not for real scraping.

Fix it by pointing the scraper at any residential proxy provider:

export ALIBABA_PROXY="http://username:password@proxy.provider.com:port"
python run.py

📚 Endpoints

Every path also works with an /alibaba prefix, and all of them are GET.

Endpoint	Path	Returns
Product Details	/products/details	Price ladder, MOQ, every SKU with stock, images, attributes, certifications, supplier
Search Products	/products/search	48 products/page — 16 filters: price, MOQ, rating, country, badges, certifications
Products By Category	/products/by-category	A whole category, 48/page, with the same filters
Search By Image	/products/search-by-image	Matching products from any photo URL, 20/page, with crop regions
Product Reviews	/products/reviews	Buyer reviews — rating, translated text, photos, country, supplier reply
Autocomplete	/autocomplete	Search-bar keyword suggestions
Categories	/categories	The whole category tree with IDs
Trending Keywords	/trending-keywords	What buyers are searching for right now
Search Suppliers	/suppliers/search	20 manufacturers/page — years, badges, rating, response time
Supplier Details	/suppliers/details	Company profile — verification, factory facts, markets, payment terms

Every product, supplier, category and image param takes either an ID or the alibaba.com link you copied from your browser. List endpoints return count, per_page, current_page, total_pages and ready-to-follow next / previous links. Prices are numbers with a separate currency, dates are ISO, and anything missing is null.
