1688 Wholesale Products Scraper

🚀 What is 1688 Wholesale Products Scraper?

1688 Wholesale Products Scraper is an Apify Actor that works as a 1688 scraper: it searches 1688.com, China's B2B wholesale marketplace, by English or Chinese keyword or product link. It returns one row per product with bulk price tiers, minimum order, units sold, supplier details and shipping, ready to export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

• Search in English or Chinese: English keywords are translated for you, so you do not need to know Chinese.
• Wholesale prices you can compare: prices stay in yuan and are also converted to one of 16 currencies you choose.
• Supplier filters: keep only factories, wholesalers or agents, or only suppliers with a Super Factory, Verified Merchant or Source Flagship badge.
• No login: the Actor reads public pages that any visitor can see, so you only need an Apify account.
• Runs on Apify: as an Apify 1688 scraper it comes with schedules, webhooks, the API and integrations.

⚠️ The supplierTrust score is calculated by this Actor from signals on the listing, and the signals are listed in the same row. It is not a rating from 1688. Fields that 1688 does not publish for a product are absent or empty in its row.

💡 Use cases for 1688 data

• 1688 product sourcing: search a keyword and compare price, quantityPrices and minOrderQuantity across many suppliers to shortlist what to order. It turns China product sourcing into a repeatable search instead of manual browsing.
• Find suppliers on 1688: filter by supplierType and merchant badge, switch on One offer per supplier, and keep the saved rows as a supplier list. Rerun it for each product category.
• China wholesale suppliers: the supplier object holds company, type, TrustPass years, inspections and shop links for each seller.
• Verified suppliers: the Verified Merchant badge filter helps you find a 1688 verified supplier.
• Super Factory suppliers: the Super Factory badge filter keeps sellers that carry the 1688 super factory badge.
• Factory direct offers: the isFactoryDirect field marks manufacturers, which helps you look for 1688 factory direct offers instead of middlemen.
• 1688 dropshipping research: switch on One-piece dropshipping or Ships within 48 hours, then read dropship and shipping with product page details.
• Bulk price tiers: quantityPrices, bulkDiscountPct and minOrderCostConverted show how the price falls with quantity and what a minimum order costs in your currency.
• Wholesale price tracking: schedule the same search and compare the price and scrapedAt values between runs to use the Actor as a 1688 price tracker.
• Demand research: sort by best selling and read soldCount, orderCount and repurchaseRate for 1688 product research. The same fields support wholesale product research for a new niche.
• Marketplace price checks: put 1688 wholesale data next to resale prices from resale price monitoring. That gives you a 1688 price comparison before you commit to a purchase.
• Spreadsheets and agents: export 1688 to CSV or Excel for buyers and finance, or pass the JSON rows to an AI agent.

How to find suppliers on 1688 with a keyword

Enter the product in Search keywords, set Supplier type to factory or wholesaler, and switch on One offer per supplier. Each saved row then comes from a different supplier. The supplier object gives you a 1688 supplier scraper view of company, type and shop links.

How to compare bulk prices

Set Sort order to price low to high, set Max minimum-order quantity to the largest first order you can accept, and read quantityPrices and minOrderCostConverted in the pricing table.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape 1688?

1688 Wholesale Products Scraper uses pay per event pricing: you pay for each product row it saves, plus a tiny start fee per run. The prices below were read from the live Actor on 2026-10-26; see the Pricing tab for current rates.

Event	Event key	Price
Results (primary event)	main_result	per product row, by plan tier (table below)
Actor Start	apify-actor-start	$0.00005 per run (one event per GB of memory; the Actor is set to 1024 MB)
Result (dataset item)	apify-default-dataset-item	$0.00001 per saved result, a small platform charge on top of the product price, the same on every plan tier

Plan tier	Per product	Per 1,000 products
Free	$0.004	$4.00
Bronze	$0.0035	$3.50
Silver	$0.003	$3.00
Gold and above	$0.0025	$2.50

The tier table shows the main_result price only. The dataset-item charge adds $0.01 per 1,000 saved results on every tier.

Example: 500 products on a Bronze plan cost 500 x $0.0035 = $1.75, plus 500 x $0.00001 = $0.005 for the dataset-item charge, plus the $0.00005 start fee, which is $1.75505 in total. The same 500 products on a Silver plan cost 500 x $0.003 = $1.50, plus $0.005, plus $0.00005, which is $1.50505. Apify platform usage (compute) is billed on top of the events above.

You can set a maximum cost per run in the Apify run options. When that limit is reached, the Actor stops cleanly and keeps the rows already saved.

⬇️ Input

Nothing is strictly required, but this 1688 product scraper needs either Search keywords or Product links or IDs. When product links are filled, keywords and filters are ignored and every product page is read for full details. Max results per keyword applies to each keyword separately: the form default is 10, the schema maximum is 10,000, and 0 means everything the search can reach. See the Input tab for every option.

{
  "keywords": ["wireless earbuds", "手机壳"],
  "maxResults": 20,
  "sortBy": "bestSelling",
  "priceMax": 50,
  "minOrderQuantity": 100,
  "merchantType": "verifiedMerchant",
  "province": ["Guangdong"],
  "convertTo": "USD"
}

To read specific products, pass links or IDs instead:

{
  "urls": ["https://detail.1688.com/offer/735353578254.html", "735353578254"]
}

Keyword search and product link modes

Keyword mode runs a separate 1688 product search for each keyword and reads every result page. In this mode the Actor acts as a 1688 search scraper, and each listing becomes one row.

Link mode reads each pasted link or ID in full, so you can scrape 1688 product data for products you already know. Turn on Full product page details to use the Actor as a 1688 SKU scraper with colours, sizes, stock and weight. Each product is saved as soon as it is read.

Input tips

💡 Chinese keywords are searched as typed. English keywords are translated when English titles and tags is on; if you switch it off, English keywords are searched as typed and results are weaker.

💡 Enter the 1688 minimum order quantity you can accept in Max minimum-order quantity. It keeps suppliers whose minimum order is at most that number, so it suits small test orders, and products with no stated minimum are kept. Minimum price (CNY) and Maximum price (CNY) work in yuan, where 0 means no limit.

⚠️ One-piece dropshipping and Ships within 48 hours cannot be combined: dropshipping wins. If you give both cities and provinces, the cities are used for the search and the provinces are checked on every product. Paid ads are left out unless you switch on Include paid ads.

⬆️ Output

The scraped results are shown as a dataset in the Storage tab and in the Output tab as ten tables. The table view does not show all the fields. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML, which is how you save 1688 products to JSON or a spreadsheet. A SUMMARY file in the key-value store holds the run counts. A keyword or link that returns nothing gets one extra row with the reason in error. Because every search result becomes one row, the Actor also serves as a 1688 listings scraper for a whole category. The pricing and sales tables work as a 1688 data extractor that needs no code.

The following example is illustrative: the values are made up to show the shape of a row, built from the dataset fields. Real rows have more fields, and the details fields are filled only with product page details.

⚠️ Limitations and error handling

• Search ceiling: 1688 lets one search reach about 2,000 rows. The Actor works past that where it can, and the log notes when a search topped out.
• Product pages are best effort: 1688 refuses some product pages. The search data of that row is still saved, detailStatus says ok, blocked or error, and the run summary counts them. After repeated refusals the Actor stops reading product pages for the rest of the run.
• Scope: the Actor covers 1688 wholesale China listings only. Other marketplaces are not supported.
• Link mode needs the product page: link mode works as a 1688 product extractor, so a refused product page gives an error row instead of data.
• Public data only: no login-only pages, no supplier phone numbers or emails, and no way to place orders or contact suppliers.
• Prices: converted prices use the exchange rate at run time; if the live rate cannot be read, an approximate rate is used and a warning is logged.
• Maximum results: the schema allows up to 10,000 per keyword. Run a small test to see how many products your filters leave.

Inputs that return nothing get a row with an error text. Typical values:

Error text	What to do
no results	Try another keyword or looser filters.
only paid ads were found (...)	Switch on Include paid ads or change the keyword.
all N rows examined were rejected by: ...	Loosen the filters named in the message.
1688 refused the search - try again later or use a proxy	Retry later, or choose a proxy in the input.
the product page was refused for this connection ...	Retry later; product links need the product page.
the product page could not be read	Check the link, then retry.

Input mistakes stop the run with a clear message, for example a minimum price above the maximum price, a negative Max results per keyword, or no keywords and no links. If 12 requests in a row cannot connect, the run stops and says so. Rows saved before a stop are kept.
