1688 Image Search Scraper

🚀 1688 Image Search Scraper

Find the factory behind any product photo. The 1688 Image Search Scraper takes a product image and returns the visually similar offers on 1688.com — China's largest domestic wholesale marketplace — with factory prices, sales signals and supplier details. Built for product sourcing, supplier discovery, dropshipping research and price benchmarking.

✨ Features

• 📸 Search by photo: paste any public image URL (a marketplace listing photo, a screenshot, your own product shot) — no keywords or Chinese needed.
• 📚 Deep results: up to 60 matches per page and typically 600–700 matches per photo, most similar first. Ask for as many as you need.
• 💴 Sourcing data on every match: price in CNY, number of orders, quantity sold, buyer repurchase rate and a visual similarity score.
• 🏭 Supplier details: company name, years on 1688, shop URL and score, province and city, factory-inspection and super-factory flags.
• 🏷️ Sponsored flag: 1688 mixes paid placements into image results. Every row says whether it is sponsored, and one switch removes them.
• 🖼️ Any common format: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF or AVIF up to 10 MB; base64 data: URLs work too.
• 🔓 No 1688 account, login or cookies.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Add image URLs – one or many; each image is searched separately.
2. Choose how many matches you want per image, and whether to drop sponsored offers.
3. Run – get one row per matching offer, ranked by similarity, ready to export as JSON, CSV or Excel or to pull through the API.

Images that cannot be downloaded or decoded produce an image_error row, and photos without matches a no_matches row — both free.

💰 Pricing

Pay per search, not per row — no monthly rental.

Event	Price
Image search	$0.02 per image with matches — includes the first 60 matches
Additional results page	$0.01 per extra page of up to 60 matches

60 matches for one photo cost $0.02; 300 matches cost $0.06. Failed images and images without matches are free.

ℹ️ Good to Know

• Titles, company names and locations are returned as 1688 shows them — in Chinese. Prices are in CNY.
• Minimum order quantities and quantity price ladders are not part of image-search results. Feed the offerId values into the 1688 Listings Scraper to get them.
• Large photos are resized before the search to keep uploads fast.
• Searching AliExpress by photo instead? See the AliExpress Image Search Scraper.
