❓ FAQ

What is 1688.com?

1688.com is Alibaba's wholesale marketplace for China's domestic market — the factory prices that Alibaba.com, AliExpress, Amazon and TikTok Shop sellers buy from. Prices are in Chinese yuan (CNY) and usually far below Alibaba.com for the same item.

Can I search in English?

Yes. An English keyword is translated into the Chinese search words 1688 expects (both are in the row: keywordGiven and query), and every title, specification, variant and tag gets an English copy (titleEn, attributesEn, variantsEn…). Chinese keywords work as they are. Switch Add English translations off if you only want the Chinese originals.

Do I need a 1688 account, cookies or a proxy?

No. The Actor needs no login, no cookies and no proxy settings. 1688 limits how often one address may search; when it refuses, the request moves to a fresh address by itself.

How are USD prices worked out?

With the day's CNY→USD exchange rate (fetched once per run). The CNY price is always in the row too — it is what the supplier charges.

Why are some supplier scores empty?

1688 shows the service scores (overall, inquiries, logistics, disputes, returns, goods) only for some suppliers in search results. Years, type, province, repeat-buyer rate and audit badges are there for almost all.

Is it legal to scrape 1688?

The Actor reads only what 1688.com shows any visitor without an account: public listings and shop pages. It does not collect personal contact details.

How many products can I get per keyword?

1688 shows about 3,000 products per search (50 pages of 60). Split broad searches into several keywords or price ranges.
