What supplier information is included?

Business type, years on the platform, contact name, response time, on-time delivery rate, rating, review count, recent orders and verification flags.

How do I find product IDs?

The ID is the number in an Alibaba product URL, and Alibaba product search returns IDs for a keyword.

Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

5 points per result, which is $5 per 1,000, and only lookups that resolve are charged.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Checking the listing by hand	Open the page and read it	Free, and slow	Fine for one listing, useless across a shortlist
Building a scraper	Write it, host it, and repair it when Alibaba changes the product page	Engineering time	A maintenance commitment for something that isn't your product
NeuralVerge	One request per item	$5 per 1,000, misses not billed	Returns what the page publishes at request time — prices, ratings and stock move

Integration

How to run it

The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.

One product per request. The product value is the product ID or a full product URL. Use Alibaba product search first if you need to find product IDs by keyword.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-alibaba-product \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "product": "1601022319019" }'
