⚙️ How to Scrape DHGate Products?

Single Query (Auto-Paginates)

{
  "queries": ["wireless earbuds"],
  "maxProducts": 60
}

Multiple Queries (URLs + Keywords)

{
  "queries": [
    "https://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/cell-phone-cases/c105005002.html",
    "https://www.dhgate.com/w/cell-phone-cases.html",
    "phone cases"
  ],
  "maxProducts": 50
}

The scraper will:

1. Auto-detect each query type (keyword, keyword URL, or category URL)
2. Auto-paginate until maxProducts is reached for each query
3. Add queryType and queryValue fields to identify the source

---

📋 Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
queries	array	["category url", "keyword url", "keyword"]	DHGate URLs or search keywords (one per line)
maxProducts	integer	60	Maximum products per query (10-500)

How it works:

• Enter any mix of URLs and keywords - the scraper auto-detects the type
• For each query, the scraper keeps fetching pages until maxProducts is collected
• Each product in the output includes queryType and queryValue to identify the source

Query Types:

• keyword: Plain text like "wireless earbuds" → Keyword search (22 fields + 2 metadata)
• url: URLs like https://www.dhgate.com/w/cell-phone-cases.html → Keyword URL (22 fields + 2 metadata)
• category: URLs like https://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/cell-phone-cases/c105005002.html → Category URL (same 24 fields, but many null)

---

📊 What Data Can DHGate Product Scraper Extract?

⚠️ Important: Same Schema, Different Data Availability

All query types use the same output schema (24 fields total: 22 product + 2 metadata). The difference is data availability:

Query Type	Data Completeness	Best For
keyword or url (keyword URL)	Most fields populated	Full product research, supplier evaluation
category (category URL)	Many fields null/empty	Fast browsing, basic product info

Every product includes these metadata fields:

Field	Description
queryType	Type of query: "keyword", "url", or "category"
queryValue	The keyword or URL that produced this result

🚀 Pro Tips for Finding Winning Products

1. Start Low-MOQ for Testing

{
  "queries": ["phone accessories"],
  "maxProducts": 60
}

Look for products with minOrder: "1 Piece" or "2 Pieces" to test before committing.

2. Check Seller Reliability

Filter for high-quality sellers by checking:

• feedbackPercent above 95%
• reviewCount showing substantial sales history
• sellerTieringLevel of 3+ (established sellers)

3. Validate Demand with Sales Data

Products with high recentlySold numbers indicate proven demand. Prioritize items with:

• 100+ recent sales
• Recent reviews
• Multiple suppliers offering similar products

4. Calculate Real Margins

Use the price field plus coupons to calculate landed costs:

• Product price
• Shipping (check freeShipping)
• DHGate fees (~5%)
• Your target margin

5. Compare Multiple Sources

{
  "queries": [
    "wireless earbuds",
    "https://www.dhgate.com/w/earbuds.html",
    "https://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/electronics/c105005.html"
  ],
  "maxProducts": 100
}

Run multiple queries in one go to compare prices across keywords, search URLs, and categories.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is DHGate better than Alibaba for dropshipping?

DHGate excels for smaller order quantities (MOQ as low as 1) and consumer goods like electronics, fashion, and accessories. Alibaba is better for bulk orders and manufacturing customization. Many sellers use both!

What's the difference between the three scraping modes?

Data Extraction Differences:

• keyword & keyword URL queries: Returns 22 product fields with most fields populated including seller ratings, reviews, coupons, and shipping details
• category URL queries: Returns the same 22 product fields but many fields are null/empty because DHGate category pages don't include seller ratings, reviews, or coupon data

When to Use Each:

• Use keyword queries when searching for specific products with complete data
• Use keyword URL queries when you have a DHGate search URL and want complete data
• Use category URL queries for fast browsing when you only need basic product info (price, image, seller name, MOQ)

See the "What Data Can DHGate Product Scraper Extract?" section above for a complete field comparison.

Can I scrape DHGate without proxies?

While technically possible, residential proxies are strongly recommended for DHGate. The platform has anti-bot measures that may block requests without proper IP rotation. Residential proxies are enabled by default.

What's the minimum order quantity on DHGate?

Many DHGate suppliers offer MOQ as low as 1 piece, making it ideal for product testing. This is significantly lower than Alibaba's typical MOQ of 10-100+ units.

Why are some fields empty when scraping category URLs?

Category pages on DHGate don't include seller ratings, reviews, or coupon data in the HTML. When you use category URL queries, these fields will be null or empty:

• feedbackPercent - ❌ Not available
• reviewCount - ❌ Not available
• reviewsCore - ❌ Not available
• xDayArrive - ❌ Not available
• afterSale - ❌ Not available
• coupons - ⚠️ Often empty
• usLocalWarehouse - ⚠️ Often empty
• sellerTieringLevel - ⚠️ May be available

Solution: Use keyword or keyword URL queries to get complete data with all fields populated.

Is it legal to scrape DHGate?

This scraper extracts publicly available product data for research purposes. Please:

• Respect DHGate's Terms of Service
• Use reasonable request rates
• Don't overload their servers
• Use data responsibly for legitimate business purposes

---

⚠️ Limitations

• Maximum 500 products per query
• Auto-paginates until maxProducts reached (no manual page control)
• Category URLs have limited data - seller ratings, reviews, and several other fields will be null/empty
