## FAQs

### What data does the API return?

**Search Products** returns title, product URL, thumbnail, gallery images, volume pricing with range and tier breakdowns, MOQ, seller info (shop URL, logo, years active, ratings), and supplier info (company name, Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, facility size, employee count, country).

**Product Details** returns 30+ fields — availability, title, category ID, full gallery images, video, all product specifications, description HTML with images, volume pricing with currency and tier breakdowns, variant groups (color, size, material) with swatch images, SKU combinations, seller ID, and full supplier profile (business type, transaction volume, contact person).

All in structured JSON. Ready to use in your app.

### How accurate is the data?

Data is pulled from Alibaba in real time. Every API call fetches live data — not cached or stale results. Prices, availability, supplier info, and variants reflect what's on Alibaba.com right now.

### How do I get a product ID?

Every Alibaba product URL contains the product ID. For example, in `https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/_1601422779481.html`, the product ID is `1601422779481`.

You can also get product IDs from the Search Products endpoint — each result includes a `product_id` field.

### Can I get MOQ and volume pricing?

Yes. Both endpoints return full pricing details. Search results include the price range and all volume tiers with min/max quantity breakdowns. Product Details adds the exact MOQ, currency, and per-unit labels. Ideal for building sourcing tools where buyers compare pricing across quantities.

### How do I identify verified suppliers?

Each product result includes supplier verification data: `is_gold_supplier`, `is_assessed`, `is_verified`, and `has_trade_assurance`. Filter on these flags to surface only Trade Assurance-protected or Gold-certified suppliers in your app.
