# Chinese B2B Supplier & Product Finder by Province

Use this skill to fetch Chinese B2B Supplier data with the Apify Actor `dataspryva/chinese-b2b-supplier-and-product-finder` and work with the returned rows.

## Before running

1. Check that `APIFY_TOKEN` is set in the environment. Never print it or write it to a file.
2. Build `input.json` from the user's request using the fields below. Keep limits small for a first run.
3. Confirm the search terms or URLs with the user if the request is ambiguous.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | one of `searchProducts`, `searchSuppliers`, `categoryBrowse`, `productDetails`, `supplierDetails`, `supplierProducts`, required | What to scrape from Made-in-China.com. |
| `searchQueries` | array | One or more product or supplier keywords. Used by 'Search products' and 'Find suppliers' modes (e.g. 'industrial pump', 'LED lights'). |
| `categoryPaths` | array | Made-in-China.com catalog paths (or full catalog URLs) to browse in 'Browse a product category' mode, e.g. 'Agriculture-Food-Catalog/Beverage'. |
| `productUrls` | array | Product page URLs or product IDs to scrape in 'Scrape these product URLs/IDs' mode. A bare ID is resolved through the site's own search. |
| `supplierUrls` | array | Supplier storefront URLs or subdomains, e.g. 'allslorm.en.made-in-china.com' or just 'allslorm'. Used by 'Scrape these supplier storefronts' and 'Scrape a supplier's catalog'. |
| `province` | string | Only return listings whose supplier is located in this Chinese province, municipality, or region. Leave blank for no filter. |

| `goldSupplierOnly` | boolean | Only return listings from suppliers with a Gold Member, Diamond Member, or higher paid membership badge. |
| `auditedSupplierOnly` | boolean | Only return listings whose supplier carries an 'Audited Supplier' badge from an independent inspection agency. |
| `leadingFactoryOnly` | boolean | Only return listings whose supplier holds an 'Industry-leading Audited Factory' badge. |
| `securedTradingOnly` | boolean | Only return listings that offer Secured Trading (payment protection and after-sales support through Made-in-China.com). |
| `rdCapacity` | one of `OEM`, `ODM`, `Own Brand`, `Others` | Only return products from suppliers with this R&D or production capability. Leave blank for no filter. |

| `sampleAvailableOnly` | boolean | Only return products whose supplier offers a paid sample order ('Buy Sample'). |

Example `input.json` (the Actor's published prefill):

```json
{
  "mode": "searchProducts",
  "searchQueries": [
    "industrial pump"
  ],
  "goldSupplierOnly": false,
  "auditedSupplierOnly": false,
  "leadingFactoryOnly": false,
  "securedTradingOnly": false,
  "sampleAvailableOnly": false,
  "maxItems": 3,
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
  "includeProductDetails": false,
  "includeSupplierProfile": false,
  "includeContactDetails": false
}
```

## Run

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dataspryva~chinese-b2b-supplier-and-product-finder/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json > results.json
```

The call waits for the run to finish and returns the dataset items as a JSON array. If the run needs more than 300 seconds the API answers with HTTP 408; then start the run with `POST /v2/acts/dataspryva~chinese-b2b-supplier-and-product-finder/runs`, poll `GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until `SUCCEEDED`, and read `GET /v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items`.

## Output

Each item is one record. Published fields include: `title`, `priceMin`, `priceMax`, `priceCurrency`, `minOrder`, `supplier`, `supplierProvince`, `supplierRating`, `auditedSupplier`, `productUrl`, `businessType`, `membership`, `employees`, `leadScore`, `supplierUrl`, `recordType`, `price`.

Summarise what was found, cite the record URLs when present, and say how many items came back. Do not invent values for empty fields.
