}One call
Send the page URL and the recipe name to the Scrape API. The recipe brings the extract rules and the settings that work on Alibaba (JavaScript rendering, the advanced proxy, a wait for the content and scrolling).

FAQ
What does the Alibaba recipe return?
JSON with 3 fields from search results (recipe=alibaba/listing), for example title, url, image. The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields shown on this page.
How much does it cost to scrape Alibaba?
15 credits a page ($1.50 per 1,000 on Pro, $2.45 on Starter). Same price as the page call, no fee for the recipe. Only successful responses are billed; blocked, timed-out and failed requests are free.
Do I need proxies or a headless browser?
No. The recipe brings the settings that work on Alibaba: JavaScript rendering, the advanced proxy, a wait for the content and scrolling. Send only the URL and recipe=alibaba/listing.
What happens when Alibaba changes its pages?
We check Alibaba every day and re-validate the recipe on real pages every week, then fix it when the site changes. Until a fix is live, the API answers 404 "the recipe has no working version" instead of empty data, and that call is free.
Can I change the fields?
Yes. Send your own extract_rules or any setting (js, proxy_type, wait_for) and it wins over the recipe. The developer guide shows the recipe rules to start from.
