1688 Wholesale Scraper (Alibaba)

The 1688 Wholesale Scraper extracts public data from 1688.com, Alibaba's China wholesale marketplace. One actor, four modes: search offers by keyword, read an offer's full detail, a supplier's company card, or an offer's buyer reviews — no login.

中文说明

1688.com（阿里巴巴中国批发市场）公开数据抓取工具。四种模式：按关键词搜索货源、获取货源详情（SKU、库存、起订量、图片）、获取供应商公司名片、获取买家评价。

每行数据都带 kind 标明类型：搜索结果含标题 title、价格 price、价格阶梯 price_ladder、公司 company_name 与所在地 province；详情含起订量 min_order_quantity、库存 stock 与规格数 sku_count；评价含正文 content 与星级 star_level。

运行自带住宅代理，无需登录，也无需自行配置。在 Apify Console 选好模式、填入关键词或 ID 后点击 Start 即可，也可通过 Apify API 提交同样的 JSON。结果支持导出 JSON、CSV 或 Excel。

What you get

One dataset, one row per record, with kind saying what each row is. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

{
  "kind": "search_offer",
  "offer_id": "612345678901",
  "title": "厂家批发无线蓝牙耳机 TWS 5.3 入耳式运动耳机",
  "price": 8.5,
  "price_type": "range",
  "currency": "CNY",
  "price_ladder": [
    {"quantity": "2~499个", "price": 9.5},
    {"quantity": "500~4999个", "price": 8.5}
  ],
  "member_id": "b2b-2201234567890abcd",
  "company_name": "深圳市某某电子有限公司",
  "province": "广东",
  "city": "深圳",
  "booked_count": 1280,
  "is_ad": false,
  "ad_block": "NORMAL",
  "source_keyword": "蓝牙耳机",

  "scraped_at": "2026-09-19T04:11:22.000000+00:00"
}

Every mode writes into the same dataset, so a mixed run filters cleanly on kind:

• search_offer — offer_id, title, price, price_type, price_ladder, company_name, member_id, province, city, booked_count, sales_text, biz_type, is_ad, ad_block, detail_url, thumbnail_url
• offer_detail — offer_id, title, min_order_quantity, stock, min_price, max_price, price_ladder, sku_count, company_name, login_id, good_rate (the seller's shop-wide good rate), attributes, image_urls, detail_url
• review — offer_id, content, star_level, created_at, sku_spec, quantity, rater_nick
• rating_summary — offer_id, good_rate, goods_grade, common_tags, impression_tags
• supplier — member_id, company_name, company_id, established_year, tp_year, is_tp, super_factory, category_rank

A search_offer row also says which target found it: source_keyword for a keyword search, source_member_id for a supplier's offers. Pass several keywords or suppliers in one run and split the rows on those columns. Supplier contact details — phone numbers, personal names — are login-walled personal data and are never collected.

offer detail (offer-detail)	$0.005
review (review)	$0.001
rating summary (rating-summary)	$0.002

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	What it does
mode	string	no	"search"	Which kind of record to collect: search finds offers by keyword; detail returns full detail (SKUs, stock, MOQ, images) for specific offers; supplier returns a supplier's company card and their offers; reviews returns buyer reviews and the rating summary for specific offers. Default search.
keywords	array	no	—	Search terms, one per entry — for example 蓝牙耳机 (bluetooth earphones). Each term returns up to max_results offers. Terms that differ only in surrounding spaces are searched, and billed, once. Used when mode is search; leave empty for every other mode.
offer_ids	array	no	—	Offers to work on, one numeric offer id per entry — the number in a detail.1688.com/offer/123456789.html URL. Used when mode is detail or reviews; leave empty for every other mode.
member_ids	array	no	—	Suppliers to work on, one member id per entry — the seller's memberId, as it appears on an offer record. Used when mode is supplier; leave empty for every other mode.
category_id	string	no	—	Restrict a keyword search to one 1688 category, given as its numeric category id. Leave empty to search every category. Used when mode is search.
country	string	no	"cn"	Which country the run's residential exit IP sits in, as a two-letter code: cn for China (the default, and fastest for 1688), sg for Singapore, hk for Hong Kong, tw for Taiwan, or vn for Vietnam.
max_results	integer	no	40	How many records to return per keyword, offer or supplier, from 1 to 4000. Default 40.
max_pages	integer	no	3	How many result pages to read per keyword, from 1 to 3. Anonymous search is capped at 3 pages — a larger number is clamped. Default 3. Used when mode is search or supplier.
page_size	integer	no	20	How many offers to request per search page, from 1 to 60. Default 20. Used when mode is search or supplier.
include_ads	boolean	no	false	Keep sponsored offers (P4P / CPT bids) in search results, labelled with is_ad and ad_block, instead of dropping them. Default false. Used when mode is search or supplier.
include_rating_summary	boolean	no	true	Also return one rating-summary row per offer (overall good-rate plus tag histograms) alongside the individual reviews. Default true. Used when mode is reviews.
proxyUrls	array	no	—	Leave empty and the run uses the residential proxy this actor ships with, included in the price of the run. To route the run through your own account instead, add one gateway URL per entry, for example http://user:pass@host:port — works with DataImpulse, Bright Data, Oxylabs, Smartproxy or any provider that issues URLs. When set, only these URLs are used.

Why this scraper

• Four modes, one actor and one dataset. Search, offer detail, supplier cards and buyer reviews all write rows tagged with kind, so a whole sourcing pass is one run rather than four actors and a join.
• The wholesale signals that matter. Every offer carries its quantity price ladder and minimum order quantity, not just a single price — the numbers a buyer actually negotiates on.
• No account needed. Every mode runs anonymously; there is nothing to log in with and no cookies to manage.
• A China exit that works. Runs reach 1688 through a residential exit inside China by default, so the pages load the way a mainland buyer sees them; Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam are also available.
• Nothing to set up. A residential proxy is included in the price of the run.

Use cases

• Wholesale sourcing — Find offers for a product across suppliers, with the price ladder and minimum order quantity side by side, to shortlist who to contact.
• Price and MOQ benchmarking — Track how an offer's tiered pricing and minimum order quantity move when you re-run a search on a schedule.
• Supplier due diligence — A supplier's company card with the years they have traded and their category standing, next to their live offers, for a vetting shortlist.
• Catalogue building — Pull offer detail with SKUs, stock and images to seed a reseller catalogue or a product database.
• Review mining — Buyer reviews and the rating summary as plain text, ready for a classifier that flags quality complaints before you order.

FAQ

Do I need a 1688 or Alibaba account? No. Every mode runs anonymously — there is nothing to log in with.

Where do I find an offer ID? It is the number in an offer's URL: https://detail.1688.com/offer/612345678901.html means 612345678901. Paste one per entry into Offer IDs.

Why did a search return only a few pages? Anonymous search is capped at three pages per keyword; a larger Max search pages is clamped. Narrow the keyword or add a Category ID to get more relevant offers instead of more pages.

Is the data in Chinese? Yes — titles, categories, province and city come from 1688 as the site publishes them, in Chinese. Prices are in CNY. Run the text through a translation step if you need another language.

Is a proxy included? A residential proxy with a China exit is included in the price of the run. To use your own, paste gateway URLs into Your own proxy URLs. Scraping at volume? Your own DataImpulse account is cheaper per GB.

Is scraping 1688 legal? This actor reads only public pages, the ones any visitor sees, and never signs in. Supplier contact details and other personal data are deliberately left out. You are responsible for how you use the data — check 1688's terms and your local rules.
