Alibaba Scraper API

Oxylabs' Alibaba Scraper (a part of Web Scraper API) is a data gathering solution allowing you to extract real-time information from an Alibaba website effortlessly. This brief guide showcases how Alibaba Scraper works, along with code examples to help you better understand how to use it hassle-free.

How it works

You can get Alibaba results by providing your own URLs to our service. We can return the HTML for any page you like.

Python code example

The example below illustrates how you can get HTML of Alibaba page.

import requests
from pprint import pprint

# Structure payload.
payload = {
    'source': 'universal',
    'url': 'https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.pagemodule_fy23_pc_search_bar.keydown__enter&tab=all&searchtext=phone'
}

# Get response.
response = requests.request(
    'POST',
    'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
    auth=('user', 'pass1'),
    json=payload,
)

# Instead of response with job status and results url, this will return the
# JSON response with the result.
pprint(response.json())
