from $0.90 / 1,000 search product listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

### 📖 Overview

**1688.com (阿里巴巴批发网)** is Alibaba Group's premier domestic B2B marketplace. It is the real, direct manufacturing engine behind Alibaba.com, AliExpress, Temu, Shein, Taobao, and Amazon FBA — hosting over **10 million Chinese factories, raw manufacturers, and industrial suppliers**.

However, extracting data from 1688 has historically been a massive headache for Western brands and sourcing teams:

- Mandatory Chinese mobile number (+86) SMS verification and QR code login walls.
- Broken product images (HTTP 403 Forbidden errors) when importing image links into Shopify, Excel, or Airtable.
- Middleman trading companies marking up factory prices by 20–40% instead of real manufacturers.
- Missing packaging weights and dimensions needed to calculate Amazon FBA fulfillment and international freight costs.
- Slow scraping tools that take minutes to return results or charge exorbitant monthly subscription fees.

**1688 Scraper by UnitBytes** completely solves these procurement roadblocks. It delivers results **in seconds** (streaming up to 27 items/sec) at **the lowest price on Apify (from $0.0015/item)** — delivering clean, spreadsheet-ready factory data with 100% working HD images into Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets with zero account or cookie setup needed.

> 📸 **Want to search 1688 by product photo instead of keywords (`以图搜款 / 拍立淘`)?**
> Have an Amazon, Shopify, AliExpress, or competitor product image and need to find the original Chinese factory? Use our dedicated [**1688 Reverse Image Search (Photo-to-Factory) Scraper**](https://apify.com/unitbytes/1688-image-search-scraper?fpr=939u3w\&fp_sid=ecosystem) — supports direct image file uploads, batch image URLs, Base64 photos, and a real-time `/v1/image-search` API!

### 💡 Practical Business Use Cases

#### 1. 📦 Amazon FBA Private Label Sourcing

Calculate landed product costs accurately before placing production orders. Combine extracted physical SKU package weights (grams) and dimensions with bulk volume tier prices to model international air/sea freight and Amazon FBA fulfillment size tiers.

#### 2. 🛍️ Shopify, TikTok Shop & Dropshipping Product Discovery

Uncover trending viral products before they reach Western marketplaces. Sort by total sales volume (`salesVolume` / Booked Orders) and enrich your product catalogs with high-res photo galleries, SKU matrices, and product demo videos.

#### 3. 🏭 Direct Factory Procurement & Supply Chain Auditing

Cut out export trading companies, domestic commission agents, and unnecessary markups. Filter strictly for verified **Super Factories (超级工厂)** and facilities with verified third-party on-site factory audits (**深度验厂**).

#### 4. 📈 Competitor Price Benchmarking & Wholesale Arbitrage

Benchmark real manufacturing costs in China against retail prices on Amazon, eBay, Mercari, and Walmart. Gain immediate leverage during price negotiations by showing suppliers their competitors' domestic 1688 wholesale prices.

#### 5. 🏪 Yiwu Market Small Commodities Sourcing

Directly target Zhejiang and Yiwu wholesale markets to source novelties, home organizers, stationery, and small accessories at fraction-of-a-cent factory rates.

### 🚨 1688 Price & Inventory Stock Monitor (The Amazon Seller & Dropshipper Life-Saver)

Thousands of Amazon FBA merchants, Shopify store owners, and private label dropshippers source their core catalog directly from 1688.com.

#### 😱 The Three Sourcing Nightmares This Solves:

1. **The Stealth Factory Price Hike:** The manufacturer suddenly increases the unit price from ¥15 to ¥25 without warning, instantly turning your winning Amazon listing into an unprofitable money pit.
2. **The Out-of-Stock Account Disaster:** The factory runs out of stock (`totalStock = 0`), but your Amazon or Shopify store keeps taking orders. Result: late shipment penalties, negative seller ratings, or Amazon account suspension.
3. **Discontinued SKU Variants:** A critical SKU variant (e.g. *Size L, Matte Black*) gets deleted or discontinued by the factory while your ads are actively running.

Turn manual product searching into an **automated 24/7 price & stock watchdog** running on a background schedule.

***

#### ⏰ Ready-to-Use Scheduled Automation Templates

| Sourcing Objective | Frequency / Cron | Target Input | Automated Action / Destination |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |

### 🛠️ How to Use via API (Batch Runs)

You can trigger runs directly in the [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/actors/M5S1OECxbMeNY8AzG/input) or integrate programmatically into your Python, Node.js, or cURL pipeline.

#### 🐍 Python Example

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

## Initialize the client with your Apify API token
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

## Configure search parameters
run_input = {
    "queries": ["phone case"],
    "detailLevel": "summary",
    "maxItems": 50,
    "sortBy": "booked",
    "province": "广东",
    "priceMin": 5,
    "priceMax": 50,
    "verticalProductFlag": "factory",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": True,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}

## Run the Actor and wait for completion
print("🚀 Launching 1688 Factory Scraper...")
run = client.actor("unitbytes/1688-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

## Fetch scraped wholesale products from the dataset
dataset_items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(f"✅ Successfully extracted {len(dataset_items)} wholesale products from 1688!")

for item in dataset_items[:3]:
    print(f"\nTitle: {item.get('title')}")
    print(f"Base Price: ¥{item.get('price')} CNY")
    print(f"Price Range: {item.get('priceDisplay')}")
    print(f"MOQ: {item.get('minOrderQuantity')} units")
    print(f"Super Factory: {item.get('superFactory')}")
    print(f"Repurchase Rate: {item.get('repurchaseRate')}")
    print(f"Supplier: {item.get('supplier', {}).get('name')}")
    print(f"URL: {item.get('url')}")
```

***

#### 🟨 JavaScript / Node.js Example

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN',
});

const runInput = {
    queries: ['hoodie'],
    detailLevel: 'summary',
    maxItems: 100,
    sortBy: 'priceAsc',
    priceMin: 20,
    priceMax: 60,
    province: '浙江',
    proxyConfiguration: {
        useApifyProxy: true,
        apifyProxyGroups: ['RESIDENTIAL'],
    },
};

console.log('🚀 Starting 1688 Scraper...');
const run = await client.actor("unitbytes/1688-scraper").call(runInput);

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`✅ Extracted ${items.length} products from 1688!`);

console.log(items.slice(0, 2));
```

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

**No.** The scraper operates entirely autonomously without requiring an account, phone number (+86), or session cookies.

#### Can I search 1688 by product photo / image (`以图搜款 / 拍立淘`)?

**Yes!** Use our dedicated [**1688 Reverse Image Search (Photo-to-Factory) Scraper**](https://apify.com/unitbytes/1688-image-search-scraper?fpr=939u3w\&fp_sid=ecosystem) to upload any product photo directly, paste Amazon/Shopify/AliExpress image URLs, or pass Base64 images to find the exact Chinese manufacturer, MOQ price tiers, and Amazon FBA packaging specs.

#### Can I search using English keywords?

**Yes.** Standard English terms (e.g. `phone case`, `yoga pants`, `hoodie`, `earbuds`, `smart watch`) are supported. Sourcing teams often also search with native Chinese product terms (e.g. `手机壳`, `运动裤`, `蓝牙耳机`) for maximum supplier discovery.

#### How do I use the Amazon FBA packaging weights and dimensions?

Every record in **Full Detail** mode includes the physical `weightGrams` and dimensions (`lengthCm`, `widthCm`, `heightCm`) per variant. Use these numbers directly in your Amazon FBA revenue calculator to determine exact shipping and fulfillment fees.

#### What is the difference between Super Factory and Factory Inspection?

- **Super Factory (超级工厂):** Alibaba's highest verified certification tier awarded to large-scale manufacturers with substantial annual revenue, modern production lines, and direct factory management.
- **Factory Inspection (深度验厂):** Facilities audited physically on-site by accredited third-party inspection firms (such as SGS or Bureau Veritas) to verify worker counts, factory square footage, and production machinery.

#### How does pagination resumption work?

Every exported item and run summary includes an encrypted **`resumptionToken`**. If you want to continue a massive scrape without re-extracting previous items, simply pass the token into your next run's input.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

List of product keywords to search on 1688.com (e.g., \['phone case', 'smart watch', '蓝牙耳机']). Scrapes multiple keywords in a single run.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Single keyword in English or Chinese (e.g. 'phone case', '手机壳', '蓝牙耳机') or a numeric 1688 offer ID (e.g. '685176373959'). If provided, it is added to the search queries. Ignored if startUrls or offerIds are provided.

## `offerIds` (type: `array`):

Optional list of numeric 1688 wholesale product offer IDs (e.g. '685176373959', '1015804349214'). Directly extracts full B2B details, tiered volume prices, and SKU matrices for each product without searching.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste any 1688 URLs directly from your browser: direct product offer links (e.g. 'https://detail.1688.com/offer/685176373959.html') or search listing URLs (e.g. 'https://s.1688.com/selloffer/offer_search.htm?keywords=hoodie'). You can also use 'Direct Offer IDs' to enter raw IDs.

Optional list of 1688 search listing URLs. Note: you can also paste search URLs directly into 'Start URLs' above.

## `detailLevel` (type: `string`):

Choose 'Full B2B Mode' for complete wholesale tiered volume prices, full color/size SKU variations, MOQ, and verified factory audit badges, or 'Summary Mode' for fast product search card discovery.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Sorting order for listings. Note: To target products in a specific price bracket without losing search relevance, use 'Min Price' and 'Max Price' below.

## `priceMin` (type: `integer`):

Minimum unit wholesale price in Chinese Yuan (CNY ¥). Server-side filtered natively by 1688.

## `priceMax` (type: `integer`):

Maximum unit wholesale price in Chinese Yuan (CNY ¥). Server-side filtered natively by 1688.

## `province` (type: `string`):

Filter by Chinese manufacturing province (e.g. '广东' for Guangdong/Shenzhen/Guangzhou, '浙江' for Zhejiang/Yiwu/Hangzhou, '江苏' for Jiangsu).

## `verticalProductFlag` (type: `string`):

Select the 1688 wholesale channel to query directly at source: 'Direct Factory' for OEM/ODM manufacturers, 'Super Factory' for top mega-factories, 'Cross-Border' for Amazon FBA/export sellers, 'Ready-to-Ship' for in-stock spot items, or 'All Channels'.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy configuration for fast worldwide access. Apify Residential proxy is recommended for high-volume extraction.
