FAQ

Do I need a 1688 account or cookies?

No. The scraper works without login, cookies or an API key. You only need a free Apify account.

Can I search in English?

Yes. English keywords are translated into Chinese search words, and titles come back with English translations.

How does image search work?

Add links to product photos, for example from Amazon or AliExpress, and 1688 returns the listings selling that item.

Is it legal to scrape 1688?

The scraper collects only publicly visible product and supplier listings without logging in. Make sure your use complies with local law (including GDPR where it applies) and 1688's terms, and avoid collecting or misusing personal data.

How do I get the data into my app or spreadsheet?

Export JSON, CSV or Excel, or call the Actor through the Apify API with the Python or JavaScript client. Ready-made integrations connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier and Google Sheets.
