## FAQ

### What do I get for each Taobao shop?

One profile per shop: the description, service and delivery scores out of 5, seller credit level, opening date, and min, median and max price over the first public catalogue page, up to 60 products.

### How do I add other shops?

Put shop IDs, shop123.taobao.com addresses or world.taobao.com/dianpu links in shops. Each unique shop returns one row. A numeric Tmall shop ID works, but branded Tmall hostnames without an ID do not.

### Can I get every product in a store?

No. The public source only served the first catalogue page in testing, so you get a seller summary and price statistics for that page. Use the Taobao product scraper for product rows.

### Why are the opening date or credit level empty?

Those fields come from a listed product's page. If it is unavailable the profile keeps its shop data and detailStatus names the missing part. Scores are Taobao's values, not supplier verification.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/tagadanar/taobao-shop-scraper.md

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`).
