Listings that match a product photo on AliExpress, 1688, Alibaba, Chinagoods, Yiwugo and Made-in-China, each with title, price range, currency, MOQ, stock, shop and supplier type, rating, sold count and a similarity score. Use it to find who makes or wholesales a product from its image URL, e.g. a competitor's product photo. Price: up to $0.005 per matching listing, plus up to $0.00005 per run. Billed at the run's actual cost, never more than max_cost_usd (default $0.25), which is enforced upstream as the run's charge limit. Returns { run, items } when the run ends within 40 s, otherwise a run id: fetch the items with apify/run-results (free, tool "supplier-image-search"). A run that times out or reaches the limit returns and bills its partial items.

## Published example

This is the provider tool’s published example. Replace example values with the user’s requested inputs, respecting the schema; do not execute an example merely to test a connection.


```json
{
  "tool_id": "apify/supplier-image-search",
  "input": {
    "imageUrls": [
      "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Cev2aFG5L._AC_SX695_.jpg"

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

This tool uses deferred settlement. Follow its returned task/run instructions; preserve the existing reservation until the result is reconciled.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
