Taobao & Tmall Product Scraper — Prices, Sellers & Ratings

Get Taobao and Tmall product data from item URLs, item IDs or keywords: current price and reference price, promotion label, seller DSR scores and credit level, rating breakdown, category, ships-from location, images. No login, no cookies, no browser — fast HTTP against Taobao's own public, server-rendered catalogue.

You pay per result delivered. Failed or removed items are never charged.

Input

{
  "products": [
    "https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=765833709683",
    "https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=1081620458327",
    "1003783113480"
  ],
  "keywords": ["蓝牙耳机"],
  "fetchDetailsForKeywords": false,
  "language": "zh-TW"
}

• products: Taobao / Tmall / world.taobao.com / a.m.taobao.com URLs or bare item IDs.
• keywords: optional. Turn on fetchDetailsForKeywords to get a full product record for every search result.
• language: zh-TW (Traditional) or zh-CN (Simplified) for text fields.

Typical uses

• Price monitoring of Tmall flagship stores and Taobao sellers.
• Seller due diligence for sourcing agents: credit level, shop age, DSR scores, rating breakdown.
• Product research: what sells for a keyword, at what price, from which province.

How much does it cost?

Pay per event: you pay only for results delivered. Platform usage (compute, residential proxy) is included. Failed, blocked or removed items are never charged.

What you get	Event	Price	Per 1,000
Product record	product	$0.0035	$3.50
Search result	listing	$0.0015	$1.50
Actor start	apify-actor-start	$0.00005 per GB of memory, once per run	—

Example: 100 product URLs ≈ $0.35; one keyword (20 results) ≈ $0.03.

Set a maximum cost per run when you start the Actor (Console or API): it stops cleanly when the limit is reached.

FAQ

Do I need an account on the marketplace? No. The Actor reads public pages and endpoints: no login, no cookies, no phone number.

Why are there no SKUs, stock or sales counts? Taobao shows them only to logged-in buyers, and this Actor never logs in. See Limits above.

What currency are prices in? CNY (Chinese yuan).

Simplified or Traditional Chinese? Both: set language to zh-CN or zh-TW. Prices and IDs are identical.

Can I run it on a schedule or from my code? Yes. Schedule it in Apify Console, call it through the Apify API (JavaScript, Python, HTTP), or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Limits (read before buying)

• This Actor reads Taobao's public catalogue. Data that Taobao shows only to logged-in users is not included: no SKU/variant matrix, no stock, no sales count, no full review list.
• Tmall publishes shortened titles on its public pages. The Actor recovers the full seller title from the shop's public storefront when it can (about 40% of the shortened titles in our tests). titleTruncated: true marks the others. Titles from keyword search are always complete.
• Keyword search returns the first 20 results and only for keywords Taobao has indexed (common product words). Other keywords end without a charge.
• Residential proxies are used by default (US, Singapore, Japan exits).

Public marketplace data only, no personal data. Not affiliated with Alibaba Group.
