1688.com Product Search Scraper: Advanced B2B Data Extraction Tool

Introduction

1688.com, founded in 1999 and originally called 'Alibaba China Market,' remains China's largest online wholesale platform and ecommerce company for domestic buyers. As a subsidiary of the Alibaba Group, this B2B marketplace hosts millions of products from verified Chinese suppliers, making it a goldmine of valuable commercial data for businesses worldwide.

The challenge for international businesses lies in efficiently extracting and analyzing the vast amount of product information available on this Chinese-language platform.

  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true // Continue scraping even if some URLs fail
}

The urls parameter: List of product list page URLs that you want to scrape. You can add URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.

The ignore_url_failures parameter: If set to true, the scraper will continue running even if some URLs fail to be scraped after reaching the maximum number of retries. This ensures that one problematic URL doesn't stop your entire scraping job.

When you provide a list of URLs for scraping, all options in the "Scrape with search filters" section will be disabled. The system will only collect data from the URLs you specified.

Scrape with Search Filters:

{
  "max_retries_per_url": 2, // Maximum number of retry attempts for each search filter
  "proxy": { // Proxy configuration to avoid bot detection
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL" 
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "CN" // Choose a country that matches your target data location
  },
  "max_items_per_url": 20, // Total number of items you want to scrape
  "keyword": "tank top" // Search keyword to find products
}

The keyword parameter: The search keyword to find products (e.g., "tank top", "t-shirt", "dress", "shoes"). You can use English or Chinese keywords.

When using search filters for scraping, you need to leave the urls field empty (or set it to null) in the "Scrape with URLs" configuration.

General Options:

The max_items_per_url parameter: Limits the number of products extracted from each product list page or search results page. The default value is 20, providing a manageable batch size while allowing for comprehensive data collection.

The max_retries_per_url parameter: Sets the maximum number of retry attempts for each URL or search filters if the scrape is detected as a bot or the page fails to load. The default value is 2, providing a good balance between thoroughness and efficiency.

The proxy parameter: Proxy configuration is essential for maintaining anonymity and avoiding detection. The residential proxy option ensures that your scraping activities appear as legitimate browsing, reducing the risk of being blocked or rate-limited. You should choose a country that matches the location of the website you're scraping (e.g., China/CN for 1688.com).

Usage Instructions

Method 1: Scraping with URLs

Step 1: Prepare Search URLs Navigate to 1688.com, perform your desired searches or browse specific categories, and copy the resulting URLs. You can paste URLs one by one or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.

Step 2: Configure Input Settings Set up your JSON configuration with appropriate proxy settings and item limits. Enable ignore_url_failures to ensure your scraping job continues even if some URLs fail after reaching the maximum retry limit. When providing URLs for scraping, all options in the "Scrape with search filters" section will be automatically disabled.

Step 3: Execute Scraping Run the scraper with your configuration file. The tool will automatically process each URL and extract product data.

Step 4: Process Results Import the structured JSON output into your preferred analysis tools for further processing.

Method 2: Scraping with Search Filters

Step 1: Configure Search Parameters Instead of providing specific URLs, configure your search by setting a keyword. Leave the urls field empty when using this method.

Enter a keyword to search for specific products (e.g., "tank top", "t-shirt", "dress", "electronics", "furniture", "toys").

Step 2: Set Item Limits Configure max_items_per_url to control how many products to extract from search results. Start with lower values for testing, then increase for comprehensive data collection.

Step 3: Configure Proxy Settings Set up residential proxies with appropriate country settings (typically China/CN for 1688.com) to ensure reliable access and avoid detection.

Step 4: Execute and Monitor Run the scraper with your search configuration. The tool will automatically search for your keyword and extract data from matching product listings.

Step 5: Process Results Import the structured JSON output into your preferred analysis tools for further processing.

Best Practices

• For URL-based scraping: Copy complete search result or category URLs with all parameters intact
• For search-based scraping: Use specific keywords in Chinese or English to improve search accuracy
• Use Residential Proxies: Essential for avoiding detection and accessing region-locked content on 1688.com
• Limit Concurrent Requests: Respect the platform by avoiding aggressive scraping patterns
• Regular Data Updates: Product information changes frequently; schedule regular scraping sessions
• Data Validation: Verify critical fields like pricing and availability before making business decisions
• Start with a small max_items_per_url value to test your configuration before running large-scale extractions
• Enable ignore_url_failures to ensure partial data collection even when some URLs encounter issues
• Use China (CN) proxy location for optimal performance when scraping 1688.com

Common Issues and Solutions

• Language Encoding: Ensure UTF-8 encoding for proper Chinese character display in your output files
• Dynamic Loading: Some product details load asynchronously; the scraper handles these automatically
• Rate Limiting: If encountering blocks, reduce request frequency and verify proxy configuration with China (CN) location
• Data Inconsistencies: Cross-reference critical data points with manual verification for important decisions
• Access Blocked: Ensure residential proxies are enabled and configured with China (CN) as the proxy country
• Empty Results: Verify URL accessibility or keyword validity, and ensure proxy settings are properly configured
• No search results: Ensure the urls field is empty when using search filters, and verify keyword spelling (try both Chinese and English terms)
