1688 Supplier Scraper

🏭 1688 Supplier Scraper: Find China Suppliers and Chinese Factories

Find China suppliers on 1688.com for any product. The 1688 Supplier Scraper searches 1688 by keyword and returns one row per supplier: company name, manufacturer or wholesaler, city and province, years on 1688, factory audit, rating, service scores, repurchase rate, price range and sample products. Use it to find Chinese manufacturers, build a 1688 suppliers list for sourcing, or as a simple alternative to a 1688 supplier API.

🎯 Use Cases

• Find Chinese factories for a product: search "phone case" or "手机壳", tick "Manufacturers only" and get a shortlist of factories with audit status and years on 1688.
• China product sourcing: compare suppliers of the same product by price range, minimum order, rating and repurchase rate before you send the first inquiry.
• Sourcing hub research: limit the search to Yiwu, Shenzhen, Guangzhou or any other city and see who sells there.
• 1688 dropshipping and sourcing agents: build a vetted supplier list per product category for your clients.
• Wholesale lead lists: export China wholesale suppliers with their 1688 shop links to a spreadsheet or CRM.

✨ Features

• One row per supplier: 1688 search pages list the same supplier many times; the Actor groups them and saves each supplier once per run, even across keywords.
• Supplier quality signals: years on 1688, TrustPass membership, factory audit (深度验厂), business verification, overall rating, five service scores and the shop's repurchase rate.
• Manufacturer or wholesaler: businessType says which, and "Manufacturers only" keeps just the factories.
• Sample products: up to 3 of the supplier's products from the search, with price range, unit, MOQ, 30-day sales, image and link.
• City filter: English names of the main sourcing hubs work, any other city in Chinese.
• Chinese and English keywords: Chinese keywords match more products; English works too.
• Fair billing: you pay per supplier saved, never for duplicates or blocked pages.

supplierId is the 1688 member id, stable across runs. factoryInspected is 1688's on-site factory audit (深度验厂) and businessVerified its business verification (实商). repurchaseRatePercent is the share of the shop's buyers who order again. productsInResults counts the supplier's products on the search page where it was found, and priceFromCny/priceToCny span those products. Names and titles stay in Chinese, as 1688 shows them.

🔁 Schedule and Integrate

For supplier discovery, run it once a week per product category: new suppliers appear in the dataset and you can compare ratings and repurchase rates over time. Set it up in Apify Schedules. Send the results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or a webhook with Apify integrations, so the supplier list lands where your sourcing team works.

🤖 Use with AI Agents (MCP)

{ "keywords": ["bluetooth earphones"], "maxItems": 20, "manufacturersOnly": true }

❓ FAQ

Does 1688 have an official supplier API? 1688's open platform is for registered Chinese businesses and partners and needs an application and approval. This Actor needs no key or account and returns the supplier data any 1688 visitor sees in search, grouped one row per supplier.

How do I find Chinese manufacturers on 1688? Enter a product keyword (Chinese matches more), turn on "Manufacturers only" and sort the result by factoryInspected, yearsOn1688 and repurchaseRatePercent. Open shopUrl or a sample product to contact the factory.

How many suppliers can I get per keyword? 1688 shows up to 2,000 products per keyword, and one page of 50 products holds about 35 different suppliers, so a broad keyword gives several hundred suppliers. Use more specific or more keywords to go further.

Do I need a 1688 account? No.

Why is a rating or service score empty? New shops and some sellers have no scores yet; those fields are left out of the row then.

Is 1688 the same as Alibaba? Both belong to Alibaba Group. Alibaba.com is the English export marketplace; 1688.com is the Chinese domestic wholesale site, usually with lower prices and smaller minimum orders.
