1688 Supplier & Price Monitor: alerts when your factory changes price, MOQ or stock

Keep an eye on the 1688.com suppliers you buy from, and on the keywords you source, automatically. Schedule this Actor daily (or hourly) and get a Telegram message or webhook when:

  • 📉 a supplier drops or raises the price (you choose the % threshold),
  • 📦 the minimum order quantity changes,
  • ⛔ an offer goes out of stock or is removed,
  • 🆕 a new supplier appears that is cheaper than the cheapest one you had seen for a keyword, or under your target price.

No 1688 account, no Chinese needed.

How it works

  1. Add the 1688 offers you want to watch (URLs or offer IDs) and/or keywords (Chinese works best, e.g. 手机壳 透明).
  2. Give the watchlist a name: runs with the same name compare against each other.
  3. Add your Telegram bot token + chat ID, or a webhook URL (Slack, Discord, Make, Zapier, n8n).
  4. Create a Schedule in Apify (e.g. every day at 8:00).

The first run saves a baseline; from the second run on you only get alerts for real changes.

Input example

{
"watchlistName": "phone-cases",
"offers": ["https://detail.1688.com/offer/796258252636.html", "1037610557035"],
"keywords": [{ "keyword": "手机壳 透明", "maxPriceCny": 1.5 }],
"alertOn": { "price_drop": true, "price_increase": true, "moq_change": true, "stock_out": true, "priceChangePct": 3 },
"telegramBotToken": "123456:ABC...",
"telegramChatId": "123456789"
}

Alert example (Telegram)

FactoryLens · phone-cases: 2 change(s)
• price_drop: 适用三星S25Ultra手机壳透明… 2.38 → 1.9 (-20.2%)
• new_supplier: 透明18pro手机壳适用苹果17… 1.17 → 0.85

Every run also writes a dataset with the current price tiers, MOQ, stock and sales of each offer, so you get a price history for free.

FAQ

How often should I run it? Daily is enough for most sourcing; hourly for flash-sale hunting.

Does it need my 1688 login? No. It reads publicly visible listings.

What does it cost? Pay per event: a small fee per offer checked, per keyword checked and per alert sent. See the Pricing tab.
