Taobao Shop & Store Scraper: Seller Profiles

Compare Taobao shops by public ratings, opening date, seller credit and prices across their public catalogue sample. Paste shop links or IDs and get one flat seller profile per unique shop, ready for a sourcing shortlist or spreadsheet.

$3 per 1,000 shops on the Free plan, plus $0.001 per run. Platform usage is included. No Taobao login or proxy setup.

What you get

Each row describes a shop. It includes the shop's three ratings, its seller ID, and price statistics calculated from the products on its first public catalogue page, up to 60 products. A listed product's public page supplies seller credit, the opening date, seller inventory counts and that item's shipping origin when available.

This is a shop comparison tool. For keyword searches and individual product rows, use Taobao & Tmall Scraper.

Fields	Meaning
type	Always shop_profile
shopId, shopName, shopUrl, sellerId, logoUrl	Public shop identity and image
platform	taobao or tmall, established from the sampled product; null when unavailable
descriptionScore, serviceScore, deliveryScore	Shop scores for description, service and delivery, out of 5
averageScore	Arithmetic mean of the three available scores, rounded to three decimals; null if one is absent
creditLevel, openedAt	Seller credit level and shop opening date from a listed product's public page
sellerItemCount, sellerNewItemCount	Seller inventory and new-item counts from that product page
catalogueTotalCount	Total advertised by the public shop catalogue; this can differ from sellerItemCount
sampledProducts, pricedSampleProducts	Products on the fetched catalogue page, and how many have a readable numeric price
sampleMinPrice, sampleMedianPrice, sampleMaxPrice, currency	Minimum, median and maximum of readable sample prices in CNY
samplePromotedProducts, sampleFreeShippingProducts	Sample products carrying a promotion label or explicitly marked free shipping
sampleCategoryCount	Number of distinct category IDs in the sample
sampleItemId, sampleItemUrl, sampleShipsFrom	Item used to read seller fields, and that item's shipping origin. This is not the shop's registered address
detailStatus	included when item-derived fields were read; otherwise the reason they are absent
scrapedAt	Snapshot timestamp in UTC

A shop with a valid seller profile and an explicit zero public catalogue count still returns one profile. Its sample counts are zero, its prices and item-derived fields are null, and detailStatus is no-public-products.

All fields are scalar, so CSV exports preserve the full row. Missing source values stay null. Counts and prices describe the public source at the time of the run.

Try it

{
  "shops": ["https://shop128593474.taobao.com/"]
}

Multiple shops:

{
  "shops": [
    "128593474",
    "https://world.taobao.com/dianpu/67451676.htm",
    "https://www.taobao.com/list/dianpu/63978904.htm"
  ]
}

shops is the only input. Add up to 200 shop IDs or supported shop links. Duplicate IDs produce one profile. Numeric shop_id or shopId parameters on Taobao/Tmall links are also accepted. Array entries may also be objects with a shopId or url field. Seller user_id values, product IDs, app share links and branded addresses such as uniqlo.tmall.com do not identify a numeric shop and cannot be resolved. Feed the shopUrl or shopId column from the catalogue actor into this actor's shops input.

Who uses it

• Sourcing teams compare seller history, credit and service scores before contacting shops.
• Retail analysts compare the price positioning of shop catalogue samples.
• Agencies refresh seller shortlists on a schedule, then compare exported snapshots in their own system.

Pricing

Apify plan	Per 1,000 shop profiles
Free	$3.00
Bronze	$2.70
Silver	$2.40
Gold	$2.10

Each run also costs $0.001. Platform usage is included. One shop with 60 sampled products is one charged shop profile, not 61 rows. A successful one-shop run costs $0.004 at the Free price. Invalid, missing and refused shops do not incur a profile charge; the run-start fee still applies.

A profile with readable shop data but unavailable item-derived seller fields is still a charged profile. detailStatus names the missing enrichment, and the run status identifies partial delivery. The shop ratings and sample statistics remain available.

Coverage and limits

The source is Taobao's public catalogue. It exposes the first shop page, up to 60 products. Page 2 returned the source's not-found redirect in the measured route matrix, despite pagination counts in the payload. The actor therefore reads one catalogue page per shop. Sample price statistics describe that page, not the entire shop's assortment. The actor does not claim that the sample is representative or sorted by sales or recency.

Seller inventory counts can differ between the catalogue and the sampled product page. Both source counts are preserved with separate names. sampleShipsFrom is one product's origin, not a verified business location.

This actor does not fetch full SKU tables, stock, specifications, full review history, contacts or private account data. It does not keep snapshot history or send change alerts itself. Use Apify schedules and export the rows to your own comparison workflow.

Measured Apify runs delivered one complete prefill profile in 5.474 seconds and 100 shop profiles in 308.642 seconds. Availability and latency vary by shop and exit. The batch included three seller profiles whose public catalogue explicitly contained zero products.

If every input is invalid, unavailable or refused, the run fails with a named reason and no profile charge. A run that delivers profiles can finish with partial status naming missing shops or seller fields. A time or charge limit leaves unqueried shops named in the run summary.

FAQ

Can it scrape Tmall stores? A numeric Tmall shop ID can use the same public catalogue route. Branded Tmall hostnames without a shop ID are unsupported. The Taobao/Tmall flag is reported only when the sampled product establishes it; it is not guessed from the input.

Why do the public catalogue count and seller item count differ? They come from separate public responses. They can cover different public inventories or update at different times. Neither is used to fabricate extra catalogue pages.

Can I get every product in a store? The public source only served its first catalogue page in testing. This actor delivers a seller summary and statistics for that page.

Why are opening date or credit level empty? These fields come from a listed product's page. When that page is unavailable, the profile keeps its shop data and names the missing enrichment in detailStatus.

Does a higher score mean a verified supplier? Scores and credit are Taobao's published values. They are useful comparison fields, not a supplier verification or a guarantee.

Does it need a proxy or login? No configuration or login is needed. Platform usage is included in the listed price.
