How Our 1688 Web Scraper Works

You don’t need to navigate the complexity of 1688 or deal with translation, logins, or manual exports. With our 1688 web scraper, we handle the entire data collection process for you — quickly and accurately.

Just tell us what you’re looking for: product listings, prices, supplier names, categories, specifications — and we’ll extract it, clean it, and deliver it in the format that works best for you. No setup, no software — just ready-to-use data that fits your workflow.

What We Extract from 1688.com

1688 provides a deep level of detail on each product page, and our scraper extracts the elements that matter most for your business. That includes titles, images, current and bulk pricing, available stock, minimum order quantity, shipping regions, and supplier names. We also capture specification tables, materials, customization notes, and packaging details — giving you a clear and usable view of what’s really being offered.

Deeper Signals We Uncover with a 1688 Scraper

Using our 1688 scraper, we also collect supplier-level insights that help you assess reliability and business potential. This includes store longevity, response time to inquiries, customer ratings, transaction volume, and certifications like “Verified Manufacturer.” Promotional badges, buyer reviews, and even patterns in product visibility over time can reveal which listings perform well and why — valuable signals for anyone comparing options or planning large-scale purchases.

About 1688.com

1688.com is Alibaba Group’s domestic B2B platform, built specifically for buyers and businesses operating inside China. Unlike Alibaba.com, which targets international trade, 1688 connects local retailers and wholesalers directly with manufacturers, often at lower prices and with more flexible order terms.

The site operates entirely in Chinese, uses the yuan (CNY) as its currency, and is designed for local logistics — though many suppliers are open to third-party fulfillment solutions for export. What sets 1688 apart is its depth of product and supplier information: detailed spec sheets, bulk pricing tiers, customization options, and factory-level data are commonly available.

For those sourcing products at scale, analyzing China’s internal market, or identifying trends before they go global, 1688.com offers unmatched access to the supply side of one of the world’s largest manufacturing economies.

Why a 1688 Web Scraper Gives You a Real Edge
