[!NOTE]

🔍 How This Cookieless Seller Scraper Works & Data Transparency

Domestic taobao.com and tmall.com storefronts block unauthenticated visitors with mandatory SMS/QR login walls. To extract real Mainland Taobao & Tmall seller catalogs 100% cookieless, this Actor queries Alibaba's official Server-Side Rendered (SSR) portal (world.taobao.com/dianpu/{shopId}.htm & world.taobao.com/product/{shopName}.htm):

• What You Get: Every seller's shopId, shopName, sellerUserId, shopLogo, shopItemCount, 3-axis DSR scores (dsrDescription, dsrService, dsrDelivery), plus each product's full untruncated title, price (CNY, HKD, TWD), discountType, taobaoUrl, and permanent HD photo. When scrapeDetails: true is enabled, each item is further enriched with reviewCount, reviewTags, featured reviews, purchased SKU attributes, location, and categoryPath.
• What Requires Domestic Account Login (Not Exposed on Public SSR Pages): Interactive multi-color/size SKU inventory tables and exact monthly unit sales (salesCount) are gated behind domestic login and are not exposed on public pages.

🎯 4 Ways to Target Any Taobao or Tmall Seller

Paste any of the following formats into shopUrls or sellers—the scraper resolves the seller automatically:

1. Direct Shop URLs: https://world.taobao.com/dianpu/63978904.htm or https://shop63978904.taobao.com
2. Numeric Shop IDs: 63978904 or 103710607
3. Brand / Seller Handles & Subdomains: inman, torras, https://inman.tmall.com, or 優送網
4. Any Product URL from That Seller: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=1085260672042 (automatically resolves the product's seller and extracts their storefront catalog!)
