FAQ

How is this different from a product scraper?

Results are grouped by supplier, so you get one row per factory or wholesaler with its key metrics and sample products.

Can I search in English?

Yes. English keywords are translated into Chinese search words for 1688, and Chinese works directly.

What is in the factory profile?

When available: founded date, staff, factory area, equipment, OEM/ODM, new designs per year, response rate and certifications.

Is it legal to scrape 1688?

The scraper collects only publicly visible 1688 data without logging in. Make sure your use complies with local laws (such as GDPR) and the site's terms, and avoid collecting or misusing personal data.

How do I get the data into my app?

Download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the Apify API, the Python and JavaScript clients, or integrations with Make, n8n, Zapier and Google Sheets.
