Goofish (Xianyu) Scraper — Second-Hand Listings, Prices, Sellers & Demand

Goofish Scraper extracts second-hand listing data from Goofish / Xianyu (闲鱼) — Alibaba's C2C resale marketplace — by listing URL or item ID: title, asking price, original price, shipping fee, demand signals (wants, views, sold), photos, publish date and full seller profile. It runs with no login, no cookies and no setup.

Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, pull it through the API, schedule it, or feed it straight to an AI agent. Think of it as a Goofish API for the listing data the marketplace doesn't expose officially.

What can you do with it?

• 💰 Second-hand price research — pull the asking price, original price and shipping fee for any listing to benchmark used-market value.
• 🔁 Reselling & arbitrage — compare Goofish resale prices against retail, Temu or 1688 sourcing costs to spot flips and margins.
• 📍 Monitor specific listings — track wants, views, sold count and online status on the exact items you care about over time.
• 📊 Market & demand research — measure interest with wantCount, browseCount, collectCount and seller credibility signals.
• 🤖 AI / LLM datasets — produce clean, structured listing JSON for RAG pipelines, agents and analysis.

Field notes

• price / originalPrice: asking price and the seller's stated original price, both in CNY. originalPrice is null when the seller didn't provide one.
• status / isOnline: status is the raw marketplace label (在线 = online); isOnline is the convenient boolean.
• soldCount: items sold for this specific listing — often 0 since most Goofish listings are single, one-off second-hand items.
• wantCount / collectCount / browseCount: demand signals — how many users tapped "want", saved, or viewed the listing.
• seller.zhimaVerified: whether the seller passed Alibaba's Zhima (Sesame Credit) verification — a trust signal for buyers.
• Text fields (title, description, status, seller.city, seller.nick) are returned in their original Chinese.

Integrations

• API — start runs and fetch the dataset via the Apify API (REST/JSON) or the JS/Python clients. A Goofish API for the data the marketplace doesn't expose.
• Schedule & monitor — run on a schedule to re-check the same listings for price or status changes; get notified on failures.
• AI agents / MCP — expose this actor to ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants through the Apify MCP server so an AI can pull Goofish listing data on demand.
• No-code — pipe results into Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack or your database with Apify integrations and webhooks.

FAQ

What is Goofish / Xianyu (闲鱼)? Goofish — known in China as Xianyu (闲鱼) — is Alibaba's consumer-to-consumer marketplace for second-hand and used goods, similar to a Chinese eBay or Facebook Marketplace. Goofish is the international-facing name for the same platform.

How does Goofish Scraper work? You give it the links (or IDs) of the listings you want. The actor opens each listing page exactly as a buyer would, lets the page perform its own signed API handshake, then copies the visible data and organizes it into a structured record — only much faster, and at scale.

Do I need a Goofish account or login? No. No account, cookies or credentials — proxy and unblocking are handled automatically.

Can I search Goofish by keyword? No. This actor is URL/ID-based: it scrapes the detail of listings you already have links to. It does not run keyword searches or return a feed of results. Collect the listing URLs first (manually or from another source), then pass them in itemUrls.

Is it legal to scrape Goofish? The actor collects only publicly available listing information (no login, no personal account data beyond the public seller profile). As with any scraping, you are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with applicable laws and terms. See Is web scraping legal?

What currency are the prices in? Prices (price, originalPrice, transportFee) are in CNY (Chinese Yuan).

Why did a listing return no_data? The page hit a transient anti-bot challenge instead of returning data. Simply re-run that URL or ID — the maxRetries input also retries automatically.

Can I get the data through an API or connect it to AI? Yes — run it via the Apify API/clients, or expose it to AI assistants through the Apify MCP server. See Integrations above.

How much does it cost? Pay only for what you scrape on a pay-per-result basis on a paid Apify plan.
