Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Goofish Scraper — Xianyu C2C Listings, Item Detail & Seller > Scrape **Goofish** (闲鱼/Xianyu — Alibaba's C2C secondhand marketplace) by **keyword**, **item URL/ID**, or **seller URL/ID**. Cookieless. MCP-ready. ### What it does Pass a search keyword, item URL/ID, or seller URL/ID — get back structured Goofish listings: | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `search`, `detail`, or `seller` | | `itemId` | string | Goofish numeric item ID | | `title` | string | Listing title (Chinese / English) | | `price` | number | Current price in **CNY** (¥) | | `originalPrice` | number | Strike-through price (when present) | | `condition` | string | 全新 / 99新 / 9成新 etc. | | `city`, `province` | string | Seller location | | `image`, `images[]` | string | Image URLs (full gallery in detail mode) | | `description` | string | Full listing description (detail mode) | | `wantCount`, `viewCount` | int | Want / view counters (detail mode) | | `publishedAt` | ISO 8601 | Publish or last-bump time | | `seller` | object | `{ nickname, userId, zhimaCredit, verified, totalSold, totalListed }` | | `itemUrl` | string | `https://www.goofish.com/item?id=...` | | `searchQuery`, `position` | string, int | Echo + result rank (search mode) | | `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 | When this record was captured | ### When to use it - **Resellers / arbitrage** — China secondhand price intelligence. - **Market researchers** — track demand & pricing on a category in mainland China's biggest C2C platform. - **AI monitoring agents** — clean tool call: keyword in, listings out. - **Product designers / collectors** — niche listings (BJD, retro games, vintage cameras) surfaced fast. ### When NOT to use it - **Taobao / Tmall (B2C)** — Goofish is C2C only. For Taobao use a Taobao scraper. - **AliExpress** — see `khadinakbar/aliexpress-product-search-scraper`. - **Goofish account automation** (publish, message, buy) — out of scope; this is read-only public data. ### Pricing — Pay-Per-Event + Pay-Per-Usage Both monetization models are enabled. Pick whichever fits your run. | Event | Price | When | |---|---|---| | `apify-actor-start` | $0.00005 | once per run, scaled by RAM | | `listing-scraped` | **$0.005** / listing | search & seller modes (no detail enrichment) | | `listing-enriched-with-detail` | **$0.008** / listing | detail mode or `fetchDetails: true` | Filtered-out listings are **not** charged (`priceMin`, `priceMax`, `condition`, `publishedWithinDays` filter client-side before charge). Cost-cap visibility: every run logs the upfront max cost before the first charge fires. ### Quick start #### From Apify Console Open the actor → click **Run** with the default input (`searchQuery: "iPhone 15 Pro"`). Returns up to 30 listings. #### From code ```js // JavaScript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('khadinakbar/goofish-scraper').call({ searchQuery: 'Sony A7 III', maxResults: 50, sortBy: 'newest', priceMin: 5000, priceMax: 12000, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ```` ```python ## Python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("khadinakbar/goofish-scraper").call(run_input={ "searchQuery": "手办", "maxResults": 30, }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item["title"], item["price"], item["itemUrl"]) ``` ```bash ## CLI apify call khadinakbar/goofish-scraper --input='{"searchQuery":"iPhone 15 Pro","maxResults":20}' ``` #### Detail mode — specific item ```json { "startUrls": ["https://www.goofish.com/item?id=1234567890"] } ``` or ```json { "itemIds": ["1234567890", "9876543210"], "fetchDetails": true } ``` #### Seller mode — listings from one seller ```json { "sellerIds": ["2200000000000"], "maxResults": 100 } ``` ### Modes auto-detected from input | Input you give | Mode | |---|---| | `searchQuery` | search | | `startUrls` matching `/search?q=` | search | | `startUrls` matching `/item?id=` | detail | | `startUrls` matching `/personal?userId=` | seller | | `itemIds` | detail | | `sellerIds` | seller | You can combine all of them in one run. ### Input filters | Filter | What it does | |---|---| | `sortBy` | relevance, newest, priceAsc, priceDesc (search mode) | | `priceMin` / `priceMax` | CNY range (client-side, filtered before charge) | | `condition` | all / used / new (matches 全新, 未拆, new for "new"; everything else = used) | | `publishedWithinDays` | only listings posted within N days | | `fetchDetails` | enrich every listing with detail page (bills enriched rate) | ### MCP / AI-agent usage The actor is exposed in Apify MCP as `apify--goofish-scraper`. From Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client: ``` search-actors: "goofish" call-actor name="khadinakbar/goofish-scraper" input={"searchQuery":"...","maxResults":20} get-actor-output runId=... ``` Tool description is intentionally narrow (read-only public Goofish data); pricing signal is on the listing — so AI agents budget per call before invoking. ### How it works PlaywrightCrawler navigates Goofish public web URLs; an XHR response interceptor catches Alibaba MTOP responses (`mtop.taobao.idlemtopsearch.pc.search`, `mtop.taobao.idle.pc.detail`) and parses the JSON. No login. No cookies you have to provide. No signature crypto on your side — the browser does it. Proxy resilience: 1. `DATAIMPULSE_PROXY` env var (residential, primary if set). 2. Apify Residential (`apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"]`). 3. Apify Datacenter US fallback. The actor probes candidates in order and picks the first that responds. Resource blocking (images, fonts, media) keeps cost down without losing the MTOP XHRs. ### Limitations - Goofish ships from mainland China; some IPs may serve degraded content or trigger soft blocks. The actor retries with session rotation; failures terminate honestly (charge $0, status message explains). - Some private listings, "seller-only" channels, or login-walled content cannot be scraped. - Pricing on listings is the live ask from the seller; sold prices and bargain history are not surfaced by the public web app. ### Legal & ToS Goofish is operated by Alibaba Group. Scraping public listings is generally permitted for personal/research use under most jurisdictions, but you are responsible for compliance with Goofish/Alibaba Terms of Service, robots.txt, applicable data-protection law (PIPL, GDPR), and any restrictions of your jurisdiction. **Do not scrape personally identifiable information beyond what Goofish publishes publicly on the listing.** Do not use scraped data to harass, contact, dox, or otherwise harm sellers. This actor performs read-only HTTP access to Goofish's public web interface — no login, no automated buying, no account operations. ### Related actors in this portfolio - [`aliexpress-product-search-scraper`](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/aliexpress-product-search-scraper) — AliExpress search. - [`alibaba-listings-scraper`](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/alibaba-listings-scraper) — Alibaba B2B listings. ### Support Open an issue in the Apify Console Issues tab. The actor is actively maintained. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text keyword to search Goofish listings (e.g. 'iPhone 15 Pro', '手办', 'Sony A7 III'). Chinese and English both work. Leave blank if you are using startUrls or itemIds instead. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Goofish/Xianyu URLs — accepted: item pages (https://www.goofish.com/item?id=...), seller pages (https://www.goofish.com/personal?userId=...), and search URLs (https://www.goofish.com/search?q=...). Mode is auto-detected per URL. Each URL counts toward maxResults independently. ## `itemIds` (type: `array`): Numeric Goofish item IDs (the value after `id=` in the item URL). Each ID is scraped as a detail-mode item. Mutually compatible with startUrls and searchQuery. ## `sellerIds` (type: `array`): Numeric Goofish seller user IDs (the value after `userId=` in the seller URL). Each seller is scraped for profile + their active listings (capped per seller by maxResults). ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on listings/items returned and charged for. Useful to control PPE spend. The actor stops scraping the moment this is reached. Defaults to 30. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Sort order for SEARCH mode results. 'relevance' is Goofish default; 'newest' shows recent posts first; 'priceAsc'/'priceDesc' sort by current price. ## `priceMin` (type: `integer`): Minimum listing price in CNY (¥). Listings below this are filtered out client-side (not charged). Leave empty for no minimum. ## `priceMax` (type: `integer`): Maximum listing price in CNY (¥). Listings above this are filtered out client-side (not charged). Leave empty for no maximum. ## `condition` (type: `string`): Filter by item condition. 'all' returns everything; 'used' keeps only secondhand items; 'new' keeps only items listed as new/unopened. ## `publishedWithinDays` (type: `integer`): Keep only listings published within the last N days (client-side filter; not charged for filtered items). Leave empty for no freshness limit. ## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`): When true, every search/seller listing is enriched with a detail-page fetch (full description, all images, view count, want count, full seller card). Bills the higher per-listing rate — see pricing. Defaults to false. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Goofish (Alibaba) requires anti-bot-capable IPs. The actor auto-resolves: DataImpulse residential (if DATAIMPULSE\_PROXY env is set) → Apify residential → Apify datacenter US fallback. Override here if you have a preferred config. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "iPhone 15 Pro", "maxResults": 30, "sortBy": "relevance", "condition": "all", "fetchDetails": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `datasetJson` (type: `string`): All scraped listings as JSON. ## `datasetCsv` (type: `string`): All scraped listings as CSV. ## `runSummary` (type: `string`): Counts per mode + total charged events for this run. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "iPhone 15 Pro", "maxResults": 30, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("khadinakbar/goofish-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
