Goofish Scraper 闲鱼 Xianyu (Idlefish)—Search, Prices & Seller

Goofish Scraper 闲鱼 Xianyu (Idlefish) — Listings, Prices & Sellers

Scrape Goofish / Xianyu / 闲鱼 / Idlefish, Alibaba's biggest second-hand marketplace in China. You get real listing prices in CNY ¥, "I Want" counts, views, condition tags, full descriptions, HD images, item specifications, seller Zhima credit levels and buyer reviews. Data comes straight from the official www.goofish.com H5 MTOP gateway.

You can type queries in English, Pinyin or Chinese (Labubu, huananzhi, pop mart, iPhone). The built-in localizer turns them into the Chinese terms Goofish sellers actually use, which fixes the "0 results" problem many competing scrapers have. Users on the Apify Free plan ($5 monthly credit) can extract up to 1,111 Goofish (Xianyu) listings per month for free.

Automated Goofish Deal & Arbitrage Monitoring (Schedules & Delta Mode)

1. Create a task with sortBy: "newest", publishedWithin: "1d" and your price limits.
2. Turn on onlyNewResults (delta mode). Seen itemIds are stored in a named key-value store (goofish-xianyu-delta), so each run returns only new listings.
3. Add an Apify Schedule (for example every 15 minutes) and connect a webhook, Slack, Google Sheets or Make/Zapier integration to get instant alerts.

Optional Logged-in Session

Goofish sometimes protects its search and detail gateways with a login slider. Set the environment variable GOOFISH_COOKIE_POOL (Actor settings → Environment variables, marked as secret) to one full browser cookie string per line to unlock the full search and detail APIs. Without it, or if every pooled session expires, the scraper switches to anonymous _m_h5_tk token mode automatically. In that case, search falls back to the public goofish.com feed channels and keeps only listings that genuinely contain your keyword.

How Much Does It Cost to Scrape Goofish (Xianyu)? (Pricing)

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

Event	Price
actor-start	charged once per run (negligible)
item-scraped	$0.0045 per dataset record ($4.50 per 1,000)

Cascaded seller profile records count as billed records. They do not use up your maxResults quota of primary listings. You only pay for records that actually reach your dataset. With the $5 Free plan credit you can collect about 1,111 listings per month.

FAQ & Legal Compliance

Can I search in English?

Yes. With autoLocalize on, labubu becomes 拉布布 Labubu, huananzhi becomes 华南金牌 and pop mart becomes 泡泡玛特. Unknown English terms go through Google Translate. The original term is also searched, so you get results for both.

Why did I get fewer results than maxResults?

The scraper never pads results. If Goofish only has 37 real matches for your filters, you get 37 records.

Is scraping Goofish legal?

This Actor only collects publicly visible listing and seller information. You are responsible for following Goofish's terms of service, Chinese and local data protection laws (PIPL, GDPR) and copyright rules. Do not use personal data for spam or other unlawful purposes.
