Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Alibaba API
Can I get contact details of suppliers?
Our API provides all publicly available information on the supplier page, such as company name, address, and contact person if listed. However, direct contact details like email may be hidden behind Alibaba's messaging system and not directly scrapeable.
How many products can I retrieve from a search query?
You can retrieve as many results as Alibaba provides by iterating through pages. Our API supports pagination so you can sequentially request page 1, 2, 3, etc., to gather thousands of listings if needed.
Is the data updated in real time?
Yes, every request fetches the latest data directly from Alibaba. You’ll get current prices, stock availability, and up-to-date supplier info at the time of the request.
