2. Set Max offers per keyword (up to ~2,000 – the limit of 1688 search).
3. Optionally turn on Translate titles to English.
4. Click Start and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

Use it from code

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("flarewow/1688-scraper").call(run_input={"searchQueries": ["手机壳"], "maxItemsPerQuery": 120})
for offer in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(offer["price"], offer["supplierName"], offer["title"])

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('flarewow/1688-scraper').call({ searchQueries: ['phone case'], translateTitles: true });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Pricing

$2 per 1,000 offers (pay per result). You pay only for offers saved to the dataset. Use Max cost per run to cap spending.

How it stays reliable

The actor reads 1688's own search data. It starts without a proxy and, only if 1688 blocks the request, switches automatically to Apify datacenter proxy and then to residential proxy. If no offers can be returned, the run ends as FAILED with an explanation – you never pay for an empty "successful" run.

Limitations & FAQ

• How many results per keyword? 1688 shows up to about 2,000 offers per search.
• Why is MOQ empty for some offers? Some offers on 1688 do not show quantity tiers in search results; minOrderQuantity is filled when tiers are present.
• Translation uses a free machine-translation service and is best effort; if it is unavailable, titleEn is empty and the run still succeeds.
• Prices are in Chinese yuan (CNY), as shown on 1688, without shipping.

Integrations

Works with the Apify API, schedules, webhooks and integrations such as n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets and the Apify MCP server for AI agents.

Responsible use

The actor collects publicly visible business listings. Use the data in line with 1688's terms and applicable law.
