Notes

• This Actor extracts public search-result data only.
• Some fields may be empty when the merchant or 1688 search result does not publish that value.
• If a keyword returns no products, try a more specific or alternate keyword.
• If the run summary marks a keyword as partial, the dataset contains the products collected before that keyword stopped early.
• Duplicate products are skipped within the same run using the product ID.

FAQ

Can I use English keywords?
Yes. English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese keywords are accepted when they can be represented by 1688 search and match public catalog results.

Why are some fields empty?
1688 merchants decide what to publish. When a value is not shown publicly in the search result, the Actor leaves that field empty instead of inventing it.

Does this collect product detail-page SKU matrices?
No. This Actor focuses on product search results. Full SKU matrices and detailed specifications are outside this Actor's current scope.

Can different keywords return the same product?
Yes. The Actor removes duplicate products within the same run, so the dataset stays easier to use.
