1688.com Supplier Scraper

🏭 1688 supplier scraper for factory profiles

1688.com Supplier Scraper helps sourcing teams turn product and factory keywords into structured 1688 supplier profiles. Enter English or Chinese searches, set how many suppliers you want per query, and export company, location, factory, trust, manufacturing, and representative offer data to an Apify dataset.

• Find 1688 suppliers for product sourcing keywords such as phone case factory, 蓝牙耳机工厂, or other Chinese factory terms.
• Build a shortlist of 1688 factory profiles with company URLs, province, city, address, factory level, and production signals when visible.
• Compare supplier trust metrics such as composite score, repeat rate, response rate, years on platform, and recent sales quantity when 1688 shows them.
• Export representative 1688 offers with product titles, CNY and USD price context, units, source URLs, image URLs, and brief product details.
• Use 1688 supplier scraper API workflows to feed supplier data into spreadsheets, sourcing dashboards, CRM enrichment, or repeat monitoring jobs.

📦 Returned data

Each dataset item is one saved 1688 supplier profile. The actor saves source-backed supplier rows only, so invalid, empty, duplicate, blocked, or diagnostic outcomes stay out of the dataset.

Returned fields can include:

Field group	What you get
Supplier identity	companyName, companyUrl, and supplierId when 1688 exposes one
Match context	matchedQueries with the submitted query and source rank
Location	Province, city, and street or factory address when visible
Factory evidence	Factory flag, level, staff scale, and production scale text when shown
Manufacturing fit	Main category plus OEM, ODM, sample, design, and processing capabilities when visible
Trust metrics	Composite score, repeat rate, response rate, years on platform, and 3-month sales quantity
Offer evidence	Representative offer title, CNY price, derived USD price, unit, URL, image URL, and brief

The output is focused on supplier/company profiles. It is not a general 1688 product search scraper, product detail scraper, wholesale price ladder scraper, Alibaba scraper, or Made-in-China scraper.

🚀 How to run

1. Open the actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more Supplier search queries.
3. Use English terms, Chinese terms, or a mix of both.
4. Add words like factory, manufacturer, OEM, or ODM when you want production-focused suppliers.
5. Set Maximum suppliers per query to control run size and cost.
6. Start the run and open the default dataset when it finishes.

For a small first run, keep the default limit of 40 suppliers per query and use one focused query. After checking the output, add more searches or raise the limit for broader sourcing lists.

Fields can be null when 1688 does not show that value for a supplier or when the actor cannot label it safely from source evidence.

💳 Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for each saved supplier profile. Runs that do not save supplier profiles do not create charges from the actor's primary event.

Representative offers and visible factory evidence are included in the supplier profile when 1688 shows them. They are not separate paid events.

🔌 Integrations

• Use the Apify API to run the actor from sourcing tools, internal dashboards, or backend jobs.
• Export supplier profiles as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML from the dataset.
• Schedule repeat runs to monitor supplier search results for the same product keywords.
• Send finished datasets to webhooks or downstream tools for enrichment, review, or CRM workflows.

❓ FAQ

🔌 Can I use this as a 1688 supplier scraper API for 1688.com supplier data in 2026?

Yes. You can run the actor through the Apify API and export structured 1688 supplier profiles. The output is supplier-focused, with company, factory, trust, location, manufacturing, and representative offer fields.

🌐 Does it work with English and Chinese search terms?

Yes. The input accepts English and Chinese sourcing keywords. For factory-focused results, use terms such as factory, manufacturer, OEM, ODM, or Chinese product and factory wording.

🛒 Does it scrape 1688 product listings?

No. This actor is for supplier/company profiles found from 1688 supplier searches. It can include representative offers linked to a supplier, but it is not a product listing scraper or product detail scraper.

🔐 Do I need a 1688 account, cookies, or an API key?

No. The public input form only asks for supplier search queries and a supplier limit. Do not paste private 1688 credentials, cookies, or account data into the actor.

🧩 Why are some fields null?

1688 does not show every metric for every supplier. Nullable fields mean the supplier profile was still valid, but the source did not expose that value or the actor could not label it safely.

🛠️ Why not use the 1688 API?

This actor is built for users who need supplier search results without setting up private 1688 access. It reads public supplier-search data and saves it in an Apify dataset that you can export or use through the Apify API.

🧭 What are 1688 alternatives?

For similar sourcing research, teams often compare 1688 with Alibaba, Made-in-China, Panjiva, or product-focused 1688 scrapers. This actor stays focused on 1688 supplier profiles, not general wholesale product listings or trade-intelligence datasets.
