Taobao & Tmall Scraper — Prices, Sellers, Reviews · No Login

Turn Taobao and Tmall product links, item ids or keywords into clean rows: CNY price and promo price, seller and shop scores, shop age, review count, what buyers mention most, ship-from city, category and images.

Paste hundreds of product URLs in one run, or search by keyword. No Taobao account, no cookies, no browser.

Why Use This Scraper?

• Batch input. Paste any number of product URLs or item ids in one run. Each one becomes one row.
• Every link format. item.taobao.com, detail.tmall.com, detail.tmall.hk, m.intl.taobao.com, world.taobao.com, the Taobao app's detail pages, or a bare item id.
• Seller due diligence in the row. Seller id, store type (Tmall or Taobao), credit level, shop scores for description, service and logistics, shop open date and catalogue size.
• Review signal without scraping reviews. Review count, positive rate, the phrases buyers mention most with their counts (e.g. "质量很好", 73 mentions), and the latest review with the variant bought.
• Keyword discovery. Search a keyword in Chinese or English and get Taobao's top 20 products for it, with a rank and HKD/TWD prices.
• Honest runs. Removed items, keywords Taobao has no page for, and filtered products are named in the run's status message. Rows excluded by your filters are never billed.

Overview

The actor reads Taobao's public product and search pages, the same pages search engines index, and returns one row per product. It is built for dropshippers and agents checking a supplier before ordering, resellers tracking prices, brands watching their listings, and analysts sampling a category.

Each row is a single product with its price in CNY, seller block (shop), reviews summary (reviews), category path, images and how it was found (source, sourceQuery, rank). Keyword rows and item rows share the same schema.

What it does not return yet: the SKU matrix (per-variant price and stock), the full image gallery and the product description. Those live on Taobao's logged-in pages. A full-SKU mode is planned.

Supported Inputs

Product URLs and item ids

Input	Example
Taobao product page	https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=730344766230
Tmall product page	https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=666640816810
Tmall Hong Kong	https://detail.tmall.hk/hk/item.htm?id=666640816810
Taobao international / app pages	https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=730344766230
Taobao public item page	https://www.taobao.com/list/item/730344766230.htm or https://world.taobao.com/item/730344766230.htm
Bare item id	730344766230

Copy-pasteable startUrls:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=730344766230",
        "https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=666640816810",
        "1006162029430"
    ]
}

Keyword and category mode

• Search keywords: 蓝牙耳机, 连衣裙, phone case. Each keyword returns the top 20 products on Taobao's public page for it.
• Category ids: the number in world.taobao.com/category/<id>.htm. Each returns the top 20 products in that category.
• A Taobao search URL (s.taobao.com/search?q=…) or a keyword page URL (world.taobao.com/product/<keyword>.htm) pasted into Start URLs is read as a keyword.

Unsupported inputs

• e.tb.cn / m.tb.cn share links. They only open from mainland China. Open the link once and paste the product URL instead.
• Shop pages (shop123.taobao.com). Not supported yet.
• Keywords Taobao has no public page for. Taobao publishes keyword pages for common product terms only. The run log names any keyword that has none.
• More than 20 products per keyword or category. Taobao's public pages show the top 20 and ignore paging. Use several related keywords to cover more.

Use Cases

Who	What they do with it
Dropshippers and sourcing agents	Check a seller's credit level, shop age and scores before ordering
Resellers and price trackers	Re-run a list of item ids on a schedule and watch price and promo price
Brands	Find listings using their name and see who sells them, from where, at what price
Market researchers	Sample the top products for a keyword or category with rank and price
Review and sentiment analysts	Collect what buyers mention most across many products
Agencies	Batch-check client product lists in CSV

How It Works

1. You give product URLs, item ids, keywords or category ids, in any mix.
2. Every product link is reduced to its item id, so any Taobao or Tmall URL format works.
3. Each item is read from Taobao's public product page; keywords and categories from Taobao's public list pages (top 20 each).
4. With Add product-page detail on, each keyword result is completed from its product page: seller, shop scores, reviews summary, ship-from city and the Tmall flag.
5. Your price filter drops products before they reach the dataset, and each product is written once as one row.

Output Overview

One row per product. The top level has identity and price (itemId, url, platform, title, price, originalPrice, currency), placement (location, categoryId, categoryPath, images) and provenance (source, sourceQuery, rank, detailScraped, scrapedAt). Two nested objects carry the seller (shop) and the reviews summary (reviews).

Which fields are filled depends on how the product was found:

• Keyword or category row with detail (the default): everything, including the full title and HKD/TWD prices.
• Keyword or category row without detail: title, prices, image, shop name, category and rank. shop has no seller id or scores, reviews is null.
• Item URL or id: everything except HKD/TWD prices and rank. The title is Taobao's shortened one (titleTruncated: true).

FAQ

Which Taobao and Tmall URLs work?

Any product URL with an item id: item.taobao.com, detail.tmall.com, detail.tmall.hk, m.intl.taobao.com, the app detail pages and world.taobao.com, plus bare ids. Share links (e.g. e.tb.cn) do not, because they only open from mainland China.

Why is the title cut short on some rows?

Taobao's public product page shortens titles to about ten characters. Rows found by keyword or category carry the full title from the list page. titleTruncated: true marks the shortened ones.

Do you return SKUs, variant prices or stock?

Not yet. Per-variant price and stock are only on Taobao's logged-in pages. price is the current price (the lowest one when hasPriceRange is true). A full-SKU mode is planned.

Why only 20 products per keyword?

Taobao's public keyword and category pages show the top 20 and ignore paging. Taobao's own total is in the run log. Use several related keywords, or category ids, to cover more products.

Why did my keyword return nothing?

Taobao publishes keyword pages only for common product terms. The run's status message names any keyword without a page. Try a shorter or more common term, in Chinese or English: for some categories only one of them has a page (beer has one, 啤酒 does not).

Why did some item ids return nothing?

The actor reads Taobao's public product pages, and Taobao publishes one only for the items it lists for search engines. Items outside that list, items in categories Taobao does not publish at all (alcohol is one), and removed items all answer with Taobao's "page not found". The run log names each one and its status message gives the count. They are not added to the dataset and not billed.

Why are positive/negative rates empty on Tmall rows?

Tmall product pages do not show them. The review count, buyer highlights and latest review are still there.

Do I need a Taobao account or cookies?

No. Every page the actor reads is public.

Is the price in CNY?

Yes, price and originalPrice are in CNY as Taobao shows them to a logged-out visitor. Keyword rows also carry Taobao's own HKD and TWD prices.

Which proxy should I use?

Leave the default. Taobao serves these pages reliably only to US residential IPs, and the actor's own pool is set up for that.

Purpose: Taobao and Tmall product rows (price, seller, shop scores, reviews summary) from product URLs, item ids or keywords, without a login.

Minimal input:

{ "startUrls": ["https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=730344766230"], "searchQueries": ["蓝牙耳机"], "maxItems": 10 }

• No SKU matrix, variant stock, full gallery or description.
• Billed per product row. Products removed by priceMin/priceMax, missing items and keywords without a page are not billed.
