1688 Products Search: Wholesale Prices, Sales & Suppliers

What does 1688 Products Search do?

1688 Products Search runs a keyword search on 1688.com, the Chinese domestic B2B wholesale marketplace run by Alibaba Group, and returns one clean row per unique offer. Type a keyword in Chinese (手机壳) or English (yoga mat) and get the wholesale price in CNY, quantity price tiers, minimum order quantity, units sold and the supplier behind the offer: company name, province and city, years on 1688, factory inspection, repeat-buyer rate and trade service scores.

Use it as a 1688 product search API with no login, cookies or Chinese phone number. It calls the same public search data the 1688 website loads, over plain HTTP (no browser), and costs $2 per 1,000 products. Keywords with no results and blocked pages are free.

Not affiliated with 1688.com or Alibaba Group. You are responsible for using the data in line with the site's terms and the laws that apply to you.

Which Actor do I need? This one covers 1688.com (factory prices for buyers inside China, quoted in yuan). For the international, English-language Alibaba.com marketplace (USD prices, export MOQs, Gold Suppliers), use our Alibaba Products Scraper. To find products by photo instead of by keyword, use our Alibaba Image Search.

Why use it?

• 🏭 Factory-direct sourcing: 1688 prices are often well below Alibaba.com and AliExpress for the same item. See the real tier price at the quantity you plan to order.
• 🔎 Supplier vetting at a glance: every row carries the factory inspection flag, years on the platform, repeat-buyer rate and service scores, so you can shortlist suppliers before you contact an agent.
• 📈 Demand research: units sold and booked counts show which variants actually move.
• 💹 Margin models for dropshipping, Amazon FBA and Shopify: export price tiers and MOQs straight into a spreadsheet.
• 🌍 No Chinese needed: search in English, filter by province in English (Guangdong, Zhejiang), read the numbers.
• 🤖 AI agents and automations: call it from the Apify API, the Apify MCP server, Make, Zapier or n8n and get the same JSON shape every time.

How to search 1688 products

1. Open the Actor and click Try for free.
2. Add one or more keywords, in Chinese or English.
3. Set Max products per keyword (default 120, which is two result pages).
4. Optionally set a min/max price in CNY or a supplier province.
5. Click Start and download the results.

How much does it cost?

$2 per 1,000 products ($0.002 per product), plus a tiny start fee of $0.00005 per run. You pay only for unique products: an offer that shows up under several of your keywords is returned and charged once. Keywords with no results and pages 1688 refused to serve come back as free rows with an error field. Residential proxy is included in the price.

The Apify free plan's monthly credit covers roughly 2,500 products. Set a Maximum cost per run in the run options to cap your spend; the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Tips

• Chinese keywords return the most relevant offers. English works, but 1688 is a Chinese site, so a quick translation (蓝牙耳机 for bluetooth earbuds) usually gives a broader result set.
• 1688 serves a limited number of offers per keyword, often a few hundred. For more coverage, add related keywords (materials, models, synonyms) rather than raising the limit.
• Prices are in CNY and exclude shipping inside China. Use priceRanges for the price at your order quantity.
• Price and province filters run after the search, so a narrow filter reads more pages to fill your limit. A keyword stops after 3 result pages in a row with no new matching offer.
• isAd: true marks paid placements. Keep or drop them as you like; they are real offers.

FAQ

Do I need a 1688 account, cookies or a Chinese phone number?

No. The Actor reads public search results and never logs in.

Why did a keyword return fewer products than I asked for?

1688 stops serving results for many keywords after a few hundred offers, and some result pages are refused. Missing pages are skipped and never charged.

Can I get the full product page (all SKUs, specs, shipping)?

Not yet. This Actor focuses on search results with supplier data. Each row has the offerUrl and offerId you can use for detail lookups.

Is scraping 1688 legal?

The Actor collects publicly visible business listings. It does not collect private personal data. Check that your use complies with the site's terms and your local laws, including the GDPR if it applies to you.

How fast is it?

Usually 1-2 minutes for a few hundred products. Several keywords run in parallel, each through its own residential IP.
