## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability alibaba-product-supplier-search-scraper-4ac22a75 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Alibaba for 'wireless earbuds' and return up to 50 products with a max price of $15 each, MOQ no more than 100 units, from verified manufacturers only — include full product details and price tiers.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, filterable product or supplier data from Alibaba.com specifically — particularly when you want to filter by MOQ, price range, country of origin, trade assurance status, or verified manufacturer status. It is ideal for B2B sourcing research, competitive pricing analysis, and supply chain discovery tasks where Alibaba is the target marketplace.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results returned if keywords match no Alibaba listings (not charged)
- Request fails if neither keywords nor productUrls are provided
- Price or MOQ filters may exclude all results, returning an empty items array
- Alibaba page structure changes may cause parsing failures
- Rate limiting or IP blocking by Alibaba may cause incomplete results
- Invalid product URLs return no data for those entries

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.
