Goofish Comments & Q&A Scraper (闲鱼 / Xianyu / Idlefish) | Buyer Questions + Seller Replies

Zen Studio China Scrapers   •  Goofish, JD.com, Taobao, and wholesale data
Goofish Comments ➤ You are here	Goofish Search Listings + sellers	Goofish Detail Full item detail	Sellers & Reviews Profiles + reviews	Taobao Products + reviews

Extract the public buyer comment thread (留言) and buyer Q&A (问大家) from any Goofish (闲鱼 / Xianyu / Idlefish) listing. For each item you get every buyer question, the seller's public replies nested underneath, plus who asked, from where, when, and how many likes each comment has.

This is the closest thing Goofish has to per-listing buyer sentiment: what shoppers ask before buying, and how the seller responds. Point it at a competitor's hot listings, a category's top items, or your own shop.

What you get

• One row per top-level comment, with the full reply thread nested under it.
• Decrypted display names for both the buyer and the seller (no raw identifiers).
• authorRole on every comment and reply — seller or buyer — so you can instantly separate questions from the shop's answers.
• Region, post time, likes, and rank badges per comment.
• Buyer Q&A (问大家) delivered to a separate item-questions dataset.

Input

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	array	Goofish item URLs or raw item IDs, one per line (up to 1,000). Duplicates are skipped.
maxCommentsPerItem	integer	Max top-level comments per item. 0 = all. Default 100. Nested replies never count toward this.
includeReplies	boolean	Include the nested reply thread under each comment. Default true.
includeQuestions	boolean	Also capture the buyer Q&A (问大家) into the item-questions dataset. Default true.

Supported input formats:

• https://www.goofish.com/item?id=947872178004
• 947872178004

Q&A dataset (item-questions)

When includeQuestions is on, the buyer Q&A (问大家) for each item is written to a separate item-questions dataset:

{ "itemId": "809415340549", "qid": "adade88cc0b74c0da8ad3b11c9b5da31", "question": "偏大还是偏小？", "answer": "偏小半码" }

Status rows

Inputs that can't be turned into comments come back as unbilled rows so nothing is silently dropped:

• rowStatus: "invalid" — the input was not a recognized Goofish item.
• rowStatus: "unavailable" — the listing is offline or removed.
• rowStatus: "error" — the listing could not be loaded.
• rowStatus: "ok" with commentCount: 0 — the listing was read successfully and has no comments.

Use cases

• Competitor & shop monitoring — track what buyers ask about a competitor's hot listings and how fast the seller responds.
• Pre-purchase FAQ mining — aggregate buyer questions across a category to surface the concerns that drive (or block) purchases: authenticity, sizing, returns, condition.
• Seller responsiveness analysis — measure answer rate and response quality from the nested authorRole: seller replies.
• Listing-level sentiment — the closest signal Goofish offers to per-item buyer feedback.

Pricing — Pay Per Event (PPE)

You are charged per top-level comment returned. Nested replies are free. Buyer Q&A is free on the first page per item; only overflow pages bill at the same rate.

Plan	Price per 1,000 comments
Free / Bronze	$5.99
Silver	$4.99
Gold	$4.29

Invalid, unavailable, empty, and error status rows are never charged.

FAQ

Are these product reviews? No. Goofish has no per-listing star reviews. These are the public pre-purchase comment thread (留言) and buyer Q&A (问大家). For seller-level transaction reviews, use the Goofish Seller Scraper.

Do all listings have comments? No. Busy B2C listings carry dozens to hundreds; many casual listings have none. Empty listings return an unbilled status row.

Are buyer and seller names included? Yes, as public display names.

How do I get item IDs to feed in? Use the Goofish Search Scraper or Seller Scraper to collect listing IDs, then pass them here.
