## Pricing

from $1.90 / 1,000 search product listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 1688 Wholesale & Factory Scraper (阿里巴巴批发网) 🇨🇳🏭

The most advanced **1688 product scraper** and **supplier intelligence tool** for cross-border e-commerce sellers, Amazon FBA merchants, Shopify store owners, dropshippers, and global procurement teams. Extract direct factory prices, bulk volume discount tiers, minimum order quantities (MOQ), complete color/size variation matrices with photos, Amazon FBA packaging weights, and verified manufacturer badges — directly into **Excel**, **CSV**, or **Google Sheets** with zero coding required.

Whether you are finding genuine Chinese manufacturers on **1688.com (Alibaba)**, calculating exact landed product costs, or empowering autonomous AI sourcing agents, this tool automates your entire China factory procurement workflow.

***

### 🏆 Why Sourcing Teams Choose This Scraper

Most scrapers only extract a basic product title and a single flat price. This tool was custom-built for **professional importers, procurement managers, and e-commerce buyers** who need actionable factory data:

- **Direct Factory Bulk Pricing**: View the exact tiered volume discount brackets (e.g., 2–99 pcs, 100–499 pcs, 500+ pcs) that Chinese domestic distributors receive.
- **Exclusive FBA Packaging Weights & Dimensions**: Accurately calculate air freight, sea shipping, and Amazon FBA fulfillment fees using physical unit weights (in grams) and package dimensions per SKU.
- **Full Variant & Spec Matrix with Matching Photos**: Capture every SKU option (all colors, sizes, and configurations) along with individual variant pricing, warehouse stock count, and high-resolution spec photos.
- **Verified Manufacturer Badges**: Cut out middlemen and trading companies by filtering directly for Alibaba-certified **Super Factories (超级工厂)** and plants with third-party on-site audits (**深度验厂**).
- **Logistics & Fulfillment SLA**: Check the factory's dispatch location, 48-hour delivery commitment, and buyer protection policies before ordering samples.
- **Customer Repurchase Trust Metric**: Use real customer **Repurchase Rates (回头率)** to instantly separate top-tier manufacturers from poor-quality suppliers.
- **Dedicated Wholesale Sourcing Channels**: Query specialized 1688 channels at the source: Direct Factory (`找工厂` for OEM/ODM), Super Factory (`超级工厂` for top certified mega-plants), Cross-Border Export (`跨境专供` for Amazon FBA / Temu / TikTok sellers), or Ready-to-Ship Spot Market (`现货批发`).
- **1-Click Spreadsheet Download**: Run directly in your browser and export clean, structured datasets in Microsoft Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets.

### 🏭 Specialized 1688 Wholesale Sourcing Channels

Unlike generic scrapers that only query general search, this Actor allows you to target 1688's dedicated wholesale channels directly at the source:

1. **Direct Factory (`找工厂` / OEM & ODM)**:
   - Queries verified manufacturing facilities specializing in custom tooling, private-label branding, and contract production. Automatically filters out trading companies and commission agents so you negotiate directly with plant managers.
2. **Super Factory (`超级工厂` / Mega-Plants)**:
   - Restricts results to Alibaba's elite certified tier of Chinese mega-manufacturers with audited plant sizes, modern production lines, and high annual turnover.
3. **Cross-Border Export (`跨境专供` / Amazon FBA, Temu & TikTok Shop)**:
   - Sourced specifically for global exporters. These factories specialize in Western retail packaging, English spec sheets, CE/FCC/RoHS compliance, and express dispatch to port warehouses.
4. **Ready-to-Ship Spot Market (`现货批发`)**:
   - Live in-stock warehouse inventory ready to dispatch within 24 to 48 hours. Perfect for small sample test orders, fast turns, and dropshipping.
5. **All Channels (`全网综合`)**:

### 💡 Smart Sourcing Tips for Global Importers

1. **Spot True Manufacturers vs. Middlemen**:
   - Turn on the **Super Factory (超级工厂)** or **Factory Inspection (深度验厂)** filters. These badges require physical on-site facility audits and government business licenses, ensuring you aren't paying middleman markups.
2. **Use the Repurchase Rate (回头率) as a Quality Filter**:
   - On 1688, a repurchase rate above **30%–40%** indicates that Chinese domestic retailers repeatedly reorder this product. It is one of the strongest indicators of consistent product quality.
3. **Check the Tiered Bulk Prices**:
   - Chinese factories love volume. The tiered pricing table shows you what large domestic distributors pay, giving you immediate bargaining power when ordering samples or production runs.
4. **Source from the Right Chinese Regions**:
   - **Guangdong Province (Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou)**: Electronics, phone accessories, audio, modern apparel.
   - **Zhejiang Province (Yiwu, Ningbo, Wenzhou)**: Small commodities, stationery, home organizers, hardware, jewelry.
   - **Jiangsu Province (Suzhou, Nantong)**: Textiles, bedding, home decor, plush toys.
   - **Fujian Province (Quanzhou, Putian)**: Footwear, outdoor bags, sports gear.

### 📥 Exporting Your Data & No-Code Automations

Once your run is complete, you can download your data or connect it to your daily business tools:

#### Export Options

- **Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)**: Clean, pre-formatted spreadsheet ready for filtering, calculations, and formulas.
- **CSV**: Universal spreadsheet format for Google Sheets, Airtable, or inventory databases.
- **JSON / XML**: Ready to integrate with your custom store apps, inventory feeds, or data pipelines.
- **API & Webhooks**: Seamlessly trigger runs from Zapier, Make.com, or your internal order management system.

#### No-Code Workflows (Make.com & Zapier)

- **Auto-Sync to Google Sheets / Airtable**: Automatically add newly discovered products, wholesale prices, and supplier links into your team's spreadsheet as soon as a scraper run finishes.
- **Draft Products in Shopify / WooCommerce**: Automatically create draft listings with variant prices, color options, and image URLs.
- **Stock & Price Drop Alerts**: Trigger instant notifications in Slack, Discord, or Email whenever a supplier changes prices or updates stock.

#### Hands-Free Recurring Monitoring (Apify Schedules)

- Open the **Schedules** tab in the Apify Console.
- Choose your schedule frequency (e.g. *Every Monday at 8:00 AM* or *Daily*).
- The scraper runs automatically in the background, keeping your product pricing and supplier intelligence up to date hands-free.

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

##### Do I need a 1688 account or Chinese phone number to use this scraper?

No. You do not need any 1688 account, login credentials, or Chinese phone number. All data extraction runs seamlessly in the background on the Apify platform.

##### Does this scraper support English keywords?

Yes. You can search in English (e.g. `phone case`, `smart watch`) or Chinese (e.g. `手机壳`, `蓝牙耳机`). Chinese keywords often return a wider selection of domestic manufacturers.

##### How do I export my data to Excel or Google Sheets?

Once your scraper run completes, click the **Export** button in the Apify Console. You can immediately download your clean dataset in **Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)**, **CSV**, **JSON**, or sync it directly to **Google Sheets**.

##### How is this scraper billed?

This scraper uses Apify's transparent **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing model. You only pay for the products you successfully scrape—never for idle server time. Check the **Pricing tab** at the top of this page for up-to-date rates and automatic subscription tier discounts.

##### Why is the Customer Repurchase Rate (回头率) so important?

The repeat-customer rate (回头率) measures the percentage of buyers who reorder from that specific manufacturer within a rolling period. A high repurchase rate (30%+) is the single best metric to verify reliable product quality on 1688.

##### Can I scrape specific product links or search URLs copied from 1688?

Yes. Simply paste one or more 1688 URLs directly into **Start URLs**. You can paste direct product offer links (e.g. `https://detail.1688.com/offer/685176373959.html`), numeric Offer IDs (`685176373959`), or search listing URLs (e.g. `https://s.1688.com/selloffer/offer_search.htm?keywords=hoodie`). The scraper automatically detects the URL type, parses embedded filters, and routes each item cleanly.

##### How does this work with AI agents via MCP?

By configuring the Apify MCP Server (`https://mcp.apify.com`) in your AI assistant (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf), your assistant can autonomously run `scraperpro/1688-wholesale-scraper` as a tool, inspect the structured output schema, compare factories, calculate landed margins, and translate product attributes on demand.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Keyword in English or Chinese (e.g. 'phone case', '手机壳', '蓝牙耳机', 'T恤', '水杯', '玩具'). Ignored if startUrls or searchUrls are provided.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste any 1688 URLs directly from your browser: direct product offer links (e.g. 'https://detail.1688.com/offer/685176373959.html'), numeric offer IDs ('685176373959'), or search listing URLs (e.g. 'https://s.1688.com/selloffer/offer\_search.htm?keywords=hoodie'). The scraper automatically detects and routes them.

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional list of 1688 search listing URLs. Note: you can also paste search URLs directly into 'Start URLs' above.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of wholesale offers to scrape (1 to 1,500).

## `detailLevel` (type: `string`):

Choose 'Full B2B Mode' for complete wholesale tiered volume prices, full color/size SKU variations, MOQ, and verified factory audit badges; or 'Summary Mode' for fast product search card discovery.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Sorting order of the listings.

## `priceMin` (type: `integer`):

Minimum unit wholesale price in Chinese Yuan (CNY ¥).

## `priceMax` (type: `integer`):

## `province` (type: `string`):

Filter by Chinese manufacturing province (e.g. '广东' for Guangdong/Shenzhen/Guangzhou, '浙江' for Zhejiang/Yiwu/Hangzhou, '江苏' for Jiangsu).

## `verticalProductFlag` (type: `string`):

Select the 1688 wholesale channel to query directly at source: 'Direct Factory' for OEM/ODM manufacturers, 'Super Factory' for top mega-factories, 'Cross-Border' for Amazon FBA/export sellers, 'Ready-to-Ship' for in-stock spot items, or 'All Channels'.

## `superFactoryOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Filter to only include verified Super Factories (超级工厂 / 实力商家) with certified manufacturing facilities.

## `factoryInspectionOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Filter to only include suppliers with verified on-site 3rd-party factory inspection (深度验厂).
