Xianyu (Goofish) Item & Seller Scraper

What does Xianyu (Goofish) Item & Seller Scraper do?

Xianyu (Goofish) Item & Seller Scraper reads items and seller shops from Xianyu (闲鱼, also called Goofish), China's largest marketplace for second-hand goods. Give it item links or seller links and it returns clean rows: the full item with price, description, photos, attributes, counts and the seller's profile; a seller's card; the items of a seller's shop; the similar items Xianyu shows under an item.

• No Xianyu account, no cookies, no proxy of your own. Paste links and press Start.
• Full item rows. About 45 fields per item: price and original price, shipping fee, full text, every photo, attributes, views, wants and saves, listing date, category, and 20 fields about the seller.
• A seller's shop by link. The seller's card and up to 240 items of the shop, each stored once.
• Similar items. Up to 30 items Xianyu recommends under each item you give.
• You pay per row that was read and stored, plus $0.005 when a run starts (from 19 November 2026).

This actor does not search by keyword: Xianyu shows search results only to logged-in users, and the actor never logs in. It starts from links you have: items, or sellers.

It runs on the Apify platform, so you also get scheduling, an API, webhooks, integrations, and export of the results to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

What data can you extract from Xianyu?

Group	Fields
Item	id, link, title, full description, state (on sale or not), item type, quantity, listing date
Price	price, original price, shipping fee (all in CNY)
Interest	number of wants, views and saves, units sold
Category	category id and name, channel category, attributes such as brand, condition and size
Media	every photo of the item
Seller in the item row	id, link, name, city, signature, registration date, number of items, items sold, good-review rate, review counts, reply rate and time, last visit, credit level, verification, tags, and ten more of the seller's items
Seller card	id, link, name, province, introduction, followers, following, number of items and reviews, share of good reviews, shop level and score, credit label, verification

How to scrape Xianyu items and sellers

1. Open the actor and go to the Input tab.
2. Paste item links or ids, or seller links or ids, or both, one per line.
3. For sellers, choose how many items of each shop to return (up to 240).
4. Turn on Similar items to get the items Xianyu shows under each of your items, and Open every listed item to get the full item row for every item of a shop.
5. Press Start.
6. Open the Output tab, or export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

A seller's link is the address of the seller's page, https://www.goofish.com/personal?userId=.... You can also paste a link to any item of that seller into the sellers field: the actor reads the item to find its seller, and that look-up is not charged. The seller's number is in every item row as seller_id, too.

Ready-made tasks

Start from a task that is already set up, then paste your own seller link:

• Track a Xianyu seller's shop and prices
• Export a Xianyu shop with full item details
• Get new items and price drops from a Xianyu shop
• Check a Xianyu seller's reviews, credit and verification

Watch a seller or items for changes

Put a name in Watch list name and run the actor on a schedule, for example every day. The first run returns everything, marked "change": "new". Every later run with the same name returns only:

• what is new: an item that came onto the seller's list, a seller or item you added;
• what changed since the last run: price or title, for an item also its state and quantity, for a seller the name and the number of items ("change": "changed", with changed_fields and the old values in previous);
• what is gone: an item given by link that Xianyu no longer has, or an item that left a seller's list that was read to its end ("change": "removed", with what the last run saw). Rows for what is gone are free. A list cut by Items per seller says nothing about what went beyond the cut, so set it at least as high as the shop is long (up to 240).

Rows that did not change are not stored and not charged, so a daily check of a shop costs only what changed. The Changes view of the output shows these rows. The actor keeps the watch list in a key-value store of your account named watch-xianyu-...; use one name per list, and one run of it at a time. Similar items are not watched: Xianyu shows other ones each time. A row that no run with this name has seen for 90 days leaves the list; if it comes back, it is new again.

{
    "sellers": ["https://www.goofish.com/personal?userId=2214156880408"],
    "maxItemsPerSeller": 240,
    "watchName": "my sellers"
}

How much does it cost to scrape Xianyu?

You pay for the rows the actor stores. The price per 1,000 rows depends on your Apify plan:

What	Free	Starter	Scale	Business
A full item row	$3.00	$2.70	$2.40	$2.00
A seller card	$1.00	$0.90	$0.80	$0.70
A listed item (a seller's list, or similar items)	$0.50	$0.45	$0.40	$0.35

A run also costs $0.005 to start, on every plan (from 19 November 2026; $0.00005 before). Apify counts the start once per GB of the run's memory, so at the default memory it is one start.

The examples below are at the Free plan price, rows only; add $0.005 per run.

• 1,000 full item rows cost $3.00.
• One seller with 240 listed items costs $0.12.
• One item with its 30 similar items costs $0.018.

You do not pay for items the actor could not read, and a run that reads nothing fails without charging a row (only its start). Apify's free plan comes with $5 of usage a month, which is enough for about 1,600 full item rows.

Input

Field	What it does
items	Item links or ids. https://www.goofish.com/item?id=777420130180 and 777420130180 are the same.
sellers	Seller links or ids. https://www.goofish.com/personal?userId=2214156880408 and 2214156880408 are the same. A link to one of the seller's items works too: the actor finds the seller from it.
maxItemsPerSeller	How many items of each seller's list to return: 0 to 240, 60 by default. 0 returns only the seller's card.
includeSimilar	Adds the similar items (up to 30) of every item in items.
scrapeDetails	Off: a short row per listed item. On: the full item row for every listed item.
maxItems	Stop after this many rows.
maxConcurrency	How many items and sellers are read at the same time. 10 by default.
watchName	A watch list's name: each run stores only what is new, changed or gone since the last run with the same name. Empty: every row.

Limits you should know

• No search by keyword. Xianyu answers a search only for a logged-in user. This actor reads what a visitor who is not logged in can see, and never logs in.
• Up to 240 items per seller. The actor reads the first 240 items of a seller's list, in the order the seller's page shows them. A seller with more items is returned in part; item_count in the seller row says how many there are.
• Similar items are Xianyu's choice. They are the up to 30 items Xianyu shows under an item. Ask twice and the list can differ.
• A deleted item cannot be read. It is listed in the run's FAILED record with Xianyu's own words and is not charged. An item that was sold may still be readable; status says what state it is in. A run in which every item and seller is gone ends as succeeded with no rows, and its status message says so.
• Large counts come rounded. For big shops Xianyu shows followers as "4.2w" (ten thousands); the actor returns 42000.
• Text is returned as Xianyu gives it: in Chinese, prices in CNY. Photos are links to Xianyu's own image files, many of them in HEIC format.
• An item takes about 3 seconds for one reader, and a seller's list of 240 items about half a minute; ten read at the same time by default. For a large job set the run's timeout to fit.

FAQ

Do I need a Xianyu account, cookies or a proxy?

No. The actor reads what Xianyu shows to a visitor who is not logged in, and brings its own connections.

How do I find sellers and items without search?

Start from what you have: links from your own browsing, from a supplier list, from an earlier export. Every item row carries its seller's id and ten more of that seller's items, a seller's shop gives up to 240 item links, and similar items lead from one item to up to 30 others in the same niche.

What happens when an item could not be read?

Each item and each seller is tried up to three times. What still fails is listed in the FAILED record of the run's key-value store, with the reason. A failed item is not charged; if a seller's list breaks off part-way, the rows already stored are kept and the seller is listed in FAILED. The SUMMARY record holds the counts of the run.

If Xianyu starts refusing visitors, or the connection is lost, the run does not press on: it waits and tries again with one visitor at a time. If that does not help within a few minutes, the run stops and keeps what it stored, and its status message says what was not read; it is marked as failed only when it stored nothing. Start it again with Resurrect and it goes on from where it stopped. A row is never stored twice, also when a run is restarted.

Can I run it on a schedule or call it from my code?

Yes. Use Apify's schedules for regular runs, for example to watch the prices of a list of items or the new items of a seller, and the Apify API or its clients for Python and JavaScript to start runs and read results. The maxItems field and the run's spending limit keep a run within a budget.

Is it legal to scrape Xianyu?

The actor reads only what Xianyu shows publicly, without logging in. Many sellers on Xianyu are private persons, and the rows hold their public profile: a name, a city, a self-description. That is personal data. Collect it only for a purpose the rules that apply to you allow, keep no more than you need, and do not use it to contact or profile people. You are responsible for how you use the data; if you are not sure, ask a lawyer.

Something is wrong or a field is missing

Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab with the item or seller link. Requests for other marketplaces are welcome there too.
